   That's absolute nonsense. Biden abused a law that did not say what he said it said. If you can't get Congress to pass a law, you don't get to do the thing. At the risk of a cliché, Biden's student debt forgiveness strate

   Maybe, but not by the court system. That's called a repeal.

   If Roe was an actual law, it wouldn't have been overturned. The current Supreme Court is simply remedying years of lazy legislating from executive agencies and the bench, instead of making laws the way we're supposed to. Everyon

   Get a pair of 100lb dumbbells. Congratulations, you can deadlift every morning.

   I love motorcycling too, but I'm cautious. As long as you build your strength carefully and lift with good technique, you'll not injure yourself. Same principles apply. Know what you're doing, have good fundamentals, and don&

   Bodyfat percentage is usually a good indicator, but an even better one is what percentage of your bodyweight you can deadlift. A healthy adult should be able to deadlift their bodyweight. A fit adult: 1.5x. 2x is the line for really being s

   I started smoking pipes at 15. I would grow and age my own tobacco. I love cigars, but don't like the lack of dosage control. Pipes are my absolute favorite form of tobacco use. Nothing like a little latakia in a nosewarmer while chori

    Hey now. I'm a huge nicotine enjoyer, but I'm sitting pretty at maybe 10 cigarettes a year. I care about my health, but the occasional dart is too good to pass up.

    Be a human, basically? Very important to be human often. We often forget in this sphere.

    I'm not even being harshly anti-vegan, since this is HN. I kill most of the meat I eat, I have a very low tolerance for moralizing on this topic.

    I've never met a vegan stronger than me, period. My numbers are real, sorry. They aren't even super high, Cailer Woolam was waaay stronger than me at this weight. He was DLing ~800 at 210lbs, too. Some people powerlift without eat

    Used to gym with a few vegan lifters. I don't have a YouTube channel about this. > Finally, I don't believe your numbers. 150lbs at 6'1 is a tiny build, if you can even call it a build. I'd love to see a video of this

    I'm a rural southerner, vegans are an object of curiosity here. Also, arm-wrestling is just a common pastime in my community. One of my favorite matches was against a 230lb Korean guy, college student visiting town. Definitely overall

    Yes, but my technique is terrible, relying almost entirely on wrist strength. I routinely lose to a relative who I am stronger than, but has stronger forearms than me. I started lifting as a vegan (properly supplemented) and switched to pri

    First, over half of them are women, and any women stronger than me are very clearly so at first sight, and second, most of the vegan men I've met, I've arm-wrestled. I have never won so easily as against a vegan man. It's lik

    I would recommend the music, and only the parts of the show that include Mike. He's as excellent as ever, the rest of the show is pretty generic.

    I adore Orbital, and they have been the soundtrack for much of my life. Imagine my shock when Mike Myers made a triumphant return in The Pentavirate , and the whole series was scored by Orbital! Sent me on a weeklong kick/trance. Also

    No, don't apologize, you're right. Frontend should be a junior's intro to backend, and I will advocate for this forever. Senior FE devs should be the competent ones who really like FE. > the FE team has a dedicated QA team

    On behalf of front-end devs, I'm sorry. I'm not an amazing FE dev, cut my teeth on Rails projects and weird PHP, but the lack of simple thinking in the frontend world hurts my soul. I need to switch...

    I'm not appealing to authority. I'm saying that if you're trying to replace a physical system, it should be very very good.
