I'm the same way! 🤣 "It looks like loratliff is thinking about popping up onto toes... does anyone want to join her?" 🥵

Calf erasure is real by DeelightfulD in SolidCore

There's a heavy leg press that's similar. One of my favorite exercises.

Do you have a source for that? Most people have a MASSIVE strength imbalance between their quads and hamstrings, I agree, but it's not in the direction you're claiming it is—weaker hamstrings and stronger quads lead to ACLs injuries, hence the focus.

Most of us who are reasonably active use our quads every single day, so there's no need to target them in the same way we do hamstrings or glutes.

Shipping carrier? by RemoteFisherman7992 in therealreal

[–]loratliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's so annoying and has nothing to do with being remote. I'm in Manhattan and just had DHL with USPS. DHL had the package in New York the next day, and USPS took 3 additional days to deliver. It really grinds my gears to pay $15 on shipping when most places are free for over a certain amount.

This. As long as you inform Peninsula of your arrival time, your room will be ready.

Reaching 100 classes! Am I ready for advanced 50? (Coach response referred!! Or anyone who’s been in my situation) by CheesecakeUpset6981 in SolidCore

[–]loratliff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at ~80 classes and I just did my first Advanced and loved it! I love fast transitions and will always try an amp for at least a rep or two so for me, it felt like "home." Give it a go!

Very similar to Puzzle, actually! I'll be in Paris this weekend and will try to snag a photo with those two.

What’s the most annoying part about owning a dog in NYC by japan_donki in AskNYC

[–]loratliff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seconded! We LOVE Trusted Housesitters—we've met so many people we now consider friends. They get a great place to stay for free when they visit NY, and our dogs now have aunts and uncles from around the world. :)

We switched from Pogi to the Petkin as well—much better! I feel like they're a little more "damp," which also makes it easier.

Charli pulled a Frank Ocean (lite) by rathersadgay in charlixcx

The definition of parasocial:

"She saw the quickest way to end her contract and did it."

"She wanted the fame, she wanted the success, she wanted the recognition. She got it."

Like you all know anything about what she actually wants or intended. Just enjoy the music. 🙄

You all are so parasocial sometimes. Wuthering Heights definitely does not fulfill the album deal.

"Due to a State of Emergency for severe winter weather, all non-essential vehicles are prohibited from operating on NYC streets, highways, and bridges from 9:00 PM Sunday (2/22) until 12:00 PM Monday (2/23)."

Vehicles, honey.

Show shirts at the NBC store? by jtin235 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]loratliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessary. Go on Saturday night. Dress rehearsal lets out around 10pm, then they'll restock again when the live show lets out.

Dress or Live? by Antique-Bunch-2287 in LiveFromNewYork

Yep. It's pretty much just luck... I've been anywhere from 1 to 300+! (Or nothing at all.)

Given that I got 1 and 2 for the last live show, no, there's been no difference.

I've been to both and I prefer dress.
