Not to derail or sidetrack the current discussion but I just noticed that, despite being in Britain for the last couple of months, I'm still somehow ranked as the 11th most frequent poster in this thread. That is so very very sad. Or it is a perfect example of how much time we PhD candidates have on our hands because, unlike the rest of you, we so rarely get down to doing any real work.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion.
I had lima beans tonight for the first time in a lonnnnnnnnnng time.
Man, I love lima beans.

Wow, we're now on page 138 (based on my 20-post-per-page view); I had to go all the way back to page 108, May 29, to find the original challenge and BB's acceptance of the thrown gauntlet.
Back then, the math was:
BB had at that time, approx. 3790 posts, for a lead of about 1637 over the LTE.Quote:
LTE, about 160 days old. Approx. 13.4 posts per day. Even if we up [BB's] PW'ing to 9 ppd, that's still a daily difference of 4.4. LTE needs 372 days at the current rate, but I think a concerted effort could get us there in another 6 months.
BB now has 4111, vs. the LTE's 2752. That's a spread of 1359. So, the LTE made up some significant ground - about 278 posts worth, or roughly 4.8 more posts per day than BB. Good work, people!
That said, in the past 58 (not sure that's right) days, we've averaged 10.4 posts per day. So, we've slowed down from our previous average, our gain has primarily come due to BB's disappearance from the board.
Vigilance, LTE denizens -- we must continue the quest!
:) :D :rolleyes: ;)
Hey BD, it's been awhile since the Marathon -- have you gotten back on the jogging trail?
Has anyone else kicked off some good, new summer habits?
You've closed the gap significantly that I created the days you were on vacation. As for good new habits none here, but I've curtailed one habit. Time in front of a video screen be it PC or TV.
Okay, I've decided. A tail it is...
I've been trying as hard as I ever have to eat well. My girlfriend prevailed upon me to begin eating breakfast, which most days has been a bowl of fresh fruit cut up with some Grape Nuts (actually the store brand) and plain yogurt. I've been using active culture yogurt and learned that I always vastly underrated regularity.
