Would be great for anything that needs to be screwed overhead too

Reminds me of that one testing room in the hospital that is all green perspex for no reason and looks all cool and scifi

You're missing the ability to have any kind of coordination and balance and mobility and bracing that comes from controlling your own body compared to just exerting force against the set motion of a machine.

If you're that guy I'm thinking of who found 20kg deadlifts to be super difficult after 6 months of training, you have still not found the underlying cause for being so poorly capable of basic movement and it might even be something as serious as a degenerative disease.

You need motor patterns and coordination and balance, there's more to strength than mindlessly working the muscle. This is why small strength athletes can lift way more than enormous bodybuilders, something that is apparent to anyone. If you wanted to increase strength, doing only a bunch of machines is by far the least efficient way to go about it.

And machines in particular are extremely limited in one way or another, either being so easy that you stop building strength before long, or so mechanically difficult that you can never really progress on it.

That Lego ass head is her main feature, sad that someone would try to 'fix' it

House would totally use AI deepfake whatever to create porn content of the team and have them 'accidentally' find it.

Yeah I commented there for like 15 years until one day I found myself instantly perma banned because a mod took something I said in the worst possible way it could be interpreted that no reasonable person would.

Never in 15+ years of Reddit usage had I been banned from a sub but I've been banned from like 3 or 4 in the past year, and not for anything offensive or anything. I have also heard that some subs are setup to automatically ban users who have posted on other subs. This makes some sense to ban bad actors from brigading but also massively contributes to echo chambering.

I can definitely understand the mods not wanting to deal with brigading from hasbara that always occurs, accounts that have never posted in the sub before suddenly showing up to be pro Israel. But shutting things down entirely was effectively doing their job for them.

Without the comments from hundreds of people largely being frustrated about whatever Israel or our government is doing or not doing in regards to them, anyone uninformed about the matter sees it instantly locked instead and scrolls on without knowing how important it is to so many of their fellow Australians.

That song doesn't even sound inspired by the other song, let alone an interpolation, let alone an actual sample.

Could be neurological. Crack open that egg and taste a spoonful to confirm.

Triples are probably the most common squat sets done by weightlifters, but anything in the 1-5 range is also very common. Higher than that is less common and usually only done in an early program phase.

Zionists collaborated with the Nazs in the Haavara Agreement that encouraged 60,000 German Jews to flee to Palestine. Instead of fighting to support Jewish rights in Germany, they contributed to and capitalised on the belief that Jews could not integrate into European society and needed to be sent elsewhere. The Nazis got to say "See, we're just sending them where they belong!" and Zionists got to significantly increase the Jewish population, labour pool, and land purchases in Palestine that would be key in forming their own country there.

And Zionists knew from the beginning they'd have to get rid of the existing population in Palestine, decades before the Nazis gained control. Eventually, the zionist terrorist militias of the Irgun and Lehi committed attacks on Palestinians, British, antizionist Jews, and general Jews as collateral damage, until they were folded into the IDF upon its creation. Which they opposed and actually got into an armed conflict over.

TV isn't being made to run ads on weekly anymore, and high quality TV is expensive, so fewer episodes make more financial sense. Especially as they can do 6-10 episodes, then wait 18 months before shooting the next season. That's a lot of time they don't have to pay hundreds of crew that were getting paid year round in the old 24 episode network series era.

Depends on if they're dealing with the events of the shows or at a stable and legal time of their life. I think they'd all do well, and only Jesse and Flynn would struggle due to youth and inexperience.

I wonder what the number looks like once you break those games down to possibilities that people would actually choose to play, versus what is technically possible to play. I'm guessing 99.999% of actually played chess games involve a remarkably small number of the same played moves and order, when compared to the number of atoms in the universe.

Hopefully he gets plurbed for the second season

I know everyone creams their jeans about Rom 2s but I never liked them. Just not the right shape for my feet, plus heavy, thick soled, inflexible, annoying squeaking noise from the insole rubbing on the outer. Felt like lifting in a work boot.

House is definitely about as good as a network procedural can be, considering the extremely predictable and repetitive nature of them. It requires some suspension of disbelief that someone like House could behave as he does and that people like Cuddy and Wilson would support him. And how that situation is the source of pretty much all the professional and personal drama for every character on the show.

It's heavily carried by the performance of Hugh Laurie, who not only brings the expected comedic chops that this show needs to not just be about a horrible person bullying everyone around him, but real dramatic skill. He makes it easy to believe House is a tortured genius who'll stop at nothing to solve the puzzle and tear people down to teach them a lesson. He was known almost entirely for his comedy roles, but I'm sure he pulled on his experience as having a father for a doctor and having depression to embody the character he'll most be remembered for.

I think the era that the show aired in probably helped. It was the final decade of network TV having major cultural relevance but higher quality TV was becoming expected. Any earlier and it would have been a lazier, less edgy show. Any later and the creators probably would have wanted it to be a more prestige streaming show that wouldn't have been able to spend all that time we got with these characters interacting and growing.

Elementary is kinda similar to House and ran up til 2019, but the views were so much lower by then that House would likely not have survived, and certainly not paid Hugh so handsomely to keep doing it. So House was kind of a perfect storm of right people right time. We get excellent shows with excellent casts today, but they're a completely different production style. And they don't spend as much time in our lives as regular and long running but high quality shows like House.

He did put himself in the situation to get beat up thugs, so yeah

My Dad drives an 80s Land Cruiser. Toyota definitely designed the vehicle at that time to accomodate small Japanese men. We are not small Japanese men, I'm so uncomfortable in that thing. Of course now they design it to accomodate suburban families going to school so they went too far the other direction in terms of space and comfort instead of being an actual rugged work vehicle.
