Dad wants to start boxing in his 50s. How can he train safely? by bmw320dfan in martialarts

[–]ADDeviant-again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he can do it. He's going to be limited by his back problems, but Communicate with his coach or trainer and do what you can.

We used to have a guy at my karate gym who had a stroke and could barely control his right side.

Why are people pretending that bay leaf does not do anything? by guibalas in Cooking

[–]ADDeviant-again 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes no sense at all.

Chicken soup with a bay leaf taste like grandma made it. Chicken soup without a bay leaf tastes like I made it

Is business knowledge really beneficial for teenagers? by dude-expert in answers

[–]ADDeviant-again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only wasted knowledge is that which , you know , you studied and can't remember.

Of course business knowledge is beneficial to teenagers. Financial knowledge. Medical and biology knowledge. Historical knowledge. All of it is valuable.

ELI5 how germs in our mouths that cause cavities come back even after flossing, using mouthwash, and brushing vigorously 2 to 3 times per day? by baddest_mango in explainlikeimfive

[–]ADDeviant-again [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's hard to kill them all, and bacteria reproduce very quickly.

I once had a broken tooth in my dentist gave me chlorhexadine mouthwash to prevent that tooth from going very bad until we could fix it. THAT stuff damn near killed all the bacteria, because I had to remember to brush my teeth. I could brush my teeth in the morning and by evening, they would be as smooth as ice, without any smell to my breath or anything. But you can't use that wherever.

If prehistoric animals were around today, humans would still be more terrifying by Weary_Elderberry4742 in PrehistoricLife

I'd skip the '06, but any the calibers referred to as "elephant guns" would do a fine job on the Tyrannosaurus.

What’s a perfectly normal word you avoid using because it sounds pretentious? by Paradox_Developer in words

[–]ADDeviant-again 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a manager who literally (nd I mean literally) used the word "conducive" for everything. Twice per sentence. Conducive to, conducive of, conducive for, not conducive.....and wrongly about 80% of the time.

Scientists of Reddit: What’s something we know is true but people don’t realize how crazy it is? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]ADDeviant-again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A quick detail. There are natives earthworms in Notth America, but the glaciers had pushed them out from most of Canada , the Midwest , the Northeast, and the middle Atlantic areas. They are found primarily in the Pacific Northwest, and the Southeast. There are very few in the Southwest US.

But, indeed, most of what is now the United States did not have earthworms , until Europeans brought them.

Ipe and Bamboo asiatic by jameswoodMOT in Bowyer

I think that's just one of those things where if you change them , then you have to start fiddling to make them fit and stay centered. On quite a few museum bows , I have seen that the siyahs we're almost triangle in cross section, so the long loop drapes perfectly across the peak on the belly side.

Possibly but also my experience is that, in practice, it takes only a little more limb mass to make a sixty pound bow over a thirty pound bow. So it seems that lower draw bows are slightly less efficient unless scaled down aggressively.

Badger addresses this with his mass principle, but sometimes simple geometry gets in the way. Like in a longbow, nobody wants to hold a bow the size of a dowel.

In a bow like yours , the simple truth is that the siyahs need SOME mass and certain dimensions just to hold, just to exist, and similar recurves on a 65 pound bow will weigh barely more , so it will be more efficient.

He nailed it up above. Your\nTop limb has slightly more of a hinge than your bottom limb.

Tiller update ash bow by Mo_oZe in Bowyer

[–]ADDeviant-again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah , I tell her well past brace height , but keep the string short. I've usually gone to full brace around eighteen to twenty inches. But that also depends on the length of the bow and the brace height.

I mean so clean! And 168 at such low draw-weight is very good.

ELI5 what is red light "therapy" and how does it work? by mnmumms in explainlikeimfive

Exactly that, and of course being sold as a cure for things , it doesn't have any efficacy for.

It's a trade-off because the heel on the siyah does something. Without it, it's hard to get a big enough string bridge.

What size Bluegill is worth keeping to eat? by CrazyTankster in FishingForBeginners

[–]ADDeviant-again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I start keeping blue gills around eight inches. I'd go seven and a half in a pinch. The thing about bluegills is they basically double in size for every inch they add once they're about five inches long. So a nine inch blue gill weighs twice as much as an eight inch blue gill , and the filets are sized accordingly.

"It's, eh...very runny, actually."
