While I don't like TRX, it was originally designed by a Navy Seal to provide a full-body workout. So long as it helps you achieve your goals, it may be all you need.

I am a meat-based robot, and see exercise as a natural form of maintenance. The gym is my favorite physical activity, and I see it as performing physical upkeep on myself, to offset my hilariously sedentary lifestyle. > I'm here fo

I occasionally use 50-lb dumbbells for one-hand overhead presses. It takes some mindfulness of form, but otherwise is perfectly safe for me. I like it for when I don't have a lot of time, since I can only do a few reps with each arm. P

Prog metal can be fantastic, too. Opeth is a band I seem to listen to daily.

Homebrew content in D&D can be ridiculously poorly-balanced compared to officially-published content, which is required to go through at least some internal testing by the game's managers and designers.

The Litter Bot people might beat you to it. They have a semi-automatic solution that works for cats, and they can probably reuse a lot of their existing patents to build a human-compatible device. Maybe it would still be usable by cats, too

My favorite sources of drama and tension come form horror and thriller movies. Something that gets me to pay attention, and get that feeling of *what happens next? When I was watching the final episode of Stranger Things, there was a minute

With one potential exception being mechanical keyboard cultists. After all, the best use of a $1k keyboard is to talk hype about how great it is, and how trashy MX Browns are.

Interesting, I'm used to the US market. Back when I was a regular user (as opposed to sometimes-caving-and-buying-a-dispo quitter), salts were usually 25 and 50, with lower strengths provided by freebase nicotine juices. I think the la

I'm not sure where you're getting those numbers from. The vape shop near me sells nicotine salts in 25mg/ml to 50mg/ml ranges, which roughly translates to 2.5% and 5% strength. I've never seen something so low as 5m

An $8 frozen pizza for 1 person is sometimes better than ordering takeout. I usually have at least one in my freezer at all times. Personally, I go for the sausage and pepperoni, and add some extra garlic powder, tomato powder, cayenne, bas

I will never not default to using canned beans in recipes. My weekly meal prep involves mostly fresh ingredients, save for the canned beans and microwaved rice. The whole process takes about an hour already, and I just have no desire to coo

Something I keep in mind: The people who spend most of their time online talking about a hobby, are usually not the ones who spend most of their time doing the hobby .

I've been playing dnD 5e for several years, and when I was more active, had a nearly didactic memory of the rules, or where to find the specifics of a rule. I'm currently playing with a new group at a game shop, and have to active

> Write-once-run-anywhere. Ha. Hahahahaha. We are only testing on four platforms right now, and not a single pair has the exact same quirks. All the commercial games are tweaked and compiled individually for each (often 100+) platform. P

When I was in college, I had stopped playing MTG, but several of my DnD friends still did. Once in a while, I'd bring down a box of my cards, and let them pick through whatever they wanted for 80%-ish of their value, traded towards foo

I haven't seen that movie in a while, but the gist of that scene is burned into my brain. The grossest death of the movie, IMO, and it isn't even that gory.

Apps should fill some kind of utility for the user. Once I have my utilities covered, why would I want to get something else that does the same thing? So, once I have my needs covered, I have very little desire to go hunting for something n

ooh, this looks fun. If I had the space to safely do so, I'd try out some of these exercises.

I recently watched a movie called 'Super Dark Times', which happens to focus on some teenage boys in the 90s. It makes me think that the prom table would be full of nonsense, expletives, and talking about women, but isn't tha

I interpret that the lack of names (WC pick 1, 2, etc) is to keep focus on the core message, and to not give out free advertising. While I happily admit to use of certain products, I don't want to serve as a billboard for them.

I have never found a nonstick pan that worked well enough for me to call it truly non-stick, and have long since relegated myself to stainless steel, since I can more easily predict the stick-factor, and scour it with steel wool if I need t

TIS-100 may still be of interest to you. It involves a highly-constrained development environment, with very clear goals, on a very unfamiliar style of system. It's more of a puzzle game with programming elements, than a programming ga

I can't help but wonder if they're using the inputs for potential phishing attacks. For certain high-value targets, perhaps they're lying, with the intent of getting them to initiate some sort of compromised password reset?

I use them as a convenient way to guarantee protein and calories, and use them as a way to help hammer out my hunger after the gym. 2-ish scoops, whole milk, mmm. Drink it fast, because it is not meant to be savored. 600 calories, tops.

A ketogenic diet is ultra-low-carb, to the point where your body enters ketosis, and becomes much more amenable to burning your fat reserves for energy. Essentially, keto-friendly means very low carb/sugar.
