Re: Gym Thread/Fitness Thread

My leg day rests are awesome but sleep apnea is ruining it for me too. I picked up a sleep apnea take home test from a sleep clinic today. Hopefully I get a cpap machine soon to sleep harder as a result to lift harder so I can bring all the groceries in one trip for my Nana.

Re: Notes: The nuclear option. If notes are punishments the alternative option that nobody wants.

It's impossible to separate record-keeping notes and notes that are placed in lieu of a ban or as a warning. Notes that are relevant, even recordkeeping ones, will always be considered if somebodies actions continue to be detrimental to the server.
