@Rembrandt I wondered if they'd secured some extra funding via sponsors to help them settle this? I'm sure it would grate but perhaps they figured a settlement was the safer/faster/cheaper (eek) option.

Either way it's shitload of $$ - wonder where the leak came from... if that figure is accurate of course

oh, and in other news. Bubs #2 is due in early Feb. But a few (serious but not super likely) issues mean momma bear is in the hospital for bedrest. She'll be there till bubs is born which will be late Jan at the earliest... like, nearly two months from now!!
Ms almost 3 is doing ok so far, hasn't quite clicked that its long term though. We've got heaps of fam support but it certainly has added some spice to things. Feeling for momma bear as she's bored shitless stuck in a hospital room!

Two more workouts plus this evening. Prior stuff was mainly legs. Quite happy to get a bit more volume in at 120kg on back squats - and fronts went well also. Even snuck in some overhead squats - up to 70kg. Chose to do less mobility and warm up with weights on the bar. I find it works ok as long as I've rolled/stretched my lats and upper back. Just need to do a bunch more reps at lower weight.

Tonight was all biddies. Flat bench and incline bench. Flat went 60kg for 6 x 2. Then 8s at 70kg and 80kg. Then 10 rep sets at 100kg, 100kg and 110kg. Last rep on that last set was a grind, but I made it without a spot

Went light on inclines. 4 sets of 60kg for 10.

@Bones will be interesting if/when the name suppression is over. Presume pro testing would include meth? So possibly more about dealing/distribution. The article says the max sentence is life!! so he must have been sitting on a metric shitload!

@mariner4life latrell didn't finish on a high note. Should have inked a deal after SOO One.

@MajorRage data is so cool. Great improvement over a pretty short period, nice!

Know a wee bit from the gaming and streaming side. Some gnarly cultural views on shame or breaking stereotypes. The threshold for what can end your career in Korea seems a lot lower than elsewhere - at least in the stuff I've seen.
Agree that there is a dark edge to their broader entertainment industry- being a KPop star must be intense af.

@antipodean that's more my bladder

Shit. That moment when you realise the aging thread is for you after all!

The sun actually shines OUT of my asshole... so I'm unsure if I need to set up in front of a mirror or something??
