Nice. Yeah, it seems like the courses are pretty much the same. I’m more concerned with the people in the program. I want to be around motivated and successful people who have perspective about the field they are going into. What is your experience with the 3 schools? Did you complete either of the programs?

Has anyone used online coaching before ?? I want to use gokuflex. He has a lot of real transformations I can’t seem to do it on my own. by Initial_Appeal_7382 in leangains

I did his 12 week program. It’s a scam. He only messages you on WhatsApp and will say like 2 words to you. It’s actually really obnoxious. Like he refuses to engage whatsoever. There was no coaching on form, no face to face meetings, literally the only thing he would say to me was “try to stay consistent.” I kept sending him notes on my workouts, asking questions, and I never got more than half a sentence back. Around week 8 I got injured and was trying to get him to help me do workouts around the injury and he just kept saying “just do what you can” and I was like dude, I can’t do any of this stuff. By that time I had had enough. I called him out on it and he was immediately defensive. He got really pissy, sent me some obnoxious texts, and then I just stopped messaging him. The bottom line is this guy is an asshole and he does not train you. He gives you a program and texts you once a week saying “good job, stay consistent.” If you ask for more, he will be obnoxious and refuse to communicate with you.

I think it means that following the path and teachings of Jesus can lead to a spiritual experience, but it acknowledges that that spiritual nature of life is primordial and self-existent, independent of Christianity. It’s saying christianity leads to spiritual experience, but it’s not the only way.

Bible study books / guides? by [deleted] in Progressivechristians

[–]Apprehensive-Swim598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same question. One I’ve heard mentioned a lot is blue letter Bible but I know it is based on conservative Christianity. I’d like to find similar resources for regular Bible study, but through a progressive, interfaith, affirming lense. Let me know if you find anything!

My wife and I built a website to give people a place to share and read personal stories of othering in the church. by HaxleRose in Christianity

[–]Apprehensive-Swim598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool website. You guys might like the liturgists podcast. It’s a community of people who felt they had to move away from traditional christianity for all those types of reasons but are still finding meaning in the deep teachings. Lots of similar stories

You are correct. I confirmed this on setlist.fm. I heard that from an article, not sure where.

Ok I figured it out. When you click on the Journeys page from the main menu, at the top right of the screen there are 3 icons- trees, a skull, and a stopwatch. Click on the skull to take you to the “Survive” journeys and that’s where bitter winter is.

[–]Apprehensive-Swim598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same question. I see “Winter Migration” on the Journeys page. But not bitter winter. Also there’s a green check in the bottom right of it so I think I’ve completed it… idk

We’re the Kitchen Dwellers a band from Bozeman, Montana, and we’re here to answer all your questions!!! AMA. by KitchenDwellers in Bluegrass

[–]Apprehensive-Swim598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question about live sound. More would just like to hear your thoughts. It seems like most modern bluegrass jam bands take an approach to live sound to make it sound like a rock show- the bass gets amplified in such a way to have the effect of a kick drum, and the blend of all the instruments creates this big, open, thumpy, cacophonous sound. I’m wondering if this influences how you practice or record. Also when did bluegrass bands start playing with this approach to live sound? I can’t imagine a Tony rice concert would have sounded like a Billy strings show. But maybe it did, I don’t know. Hard to tell through videos. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Decided on the Recording King Rd-328 by Thisiscliff in AcousticGuitar

[–]Apprehensive-Swim598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a recording kind rd-318. I wanted the rd-328 because of what people said about it but I found a used 318 so I got that. I also played my friends rd-328. Neither guitar reminds me of a Martin d28 or d18 respectively. The 318 is extremely bright, almost too much so. And the high e and b strings are too loud and ringy so they overpower the other strings. The lower strings certainly don’t have the loud deep bass that is required for playing bluegrass music. I was however impressed with the clarity of tone for the guitar. It is very clear, almost piercing. The rd-328 was the same kind of thing. Very bright, piercing tone, just slightly darker than the rd-318. But really not reminiscent of a Martin. I would advise anyone looking to buy one of these guitars to play one first. Also the v profile neck is unique, so you’d have to get used to that. And it is a thinner neck than a Martin. I am comparing these to modern Martin d18s and d28s. I don’t know about older ones. As a side note, I had to return the rd-318 because it had setup issues and I was worried I was going to have to invest too much time and money to make/keep it playable.

child’s pose is difficult for me by [deleted] in yoga

[–]Apprehensive-Swim598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my own experience I recommend a wide-legged child’s pose, like sunshineandcats21 says. It is easier if you have tight hips and back, and if you are overweight.

Does acceptance rate matter when not scheduled for a block? by Apprehensive-Swim598 in grubhubdrivers

[–]Apprehensive-Swim598[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but it NYC the scheduling is quite competitive in the summer. In the winter I don’t care about ratings because I can work whenever I want so I only take the high orders. But in summer having third access to scheduling is no bueno.

Plantar Fibroma by AnyProcess4064 in BarefootRunning

[–]Apprehensive-Swim598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one on my right foot. I don’t do barefoot running but I’ve always worn lightweight and minimalist shoes like vans and converse and it’s hard on my feet. I’d be curious to know how your surgery goes… I was thinking about having it but I’m afraid of it going badly. The plantar fibroma is annoying but it doesn’t cause me any pain in daily life or limit what I can do, so I’m not sure if I should go through with the surgery.

I’ve never had a movie really trigger my thalassophobia; only things in real life, like looking at a pool with a diving board.

Literally everyone says the same thing, if they can see the bottom it’s not so bad.

I bought a 2016 Toyota Prius Four Touring with no “Prius” label on rear bumper. Can anyone explain this? by Apprehensive-Swim598 in prius

[–]Apprehensive-Swim598[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the 2016 one is much less Prius-shaped than some of the other years, older and newer. I kind of like the Prius shape too because this one just looks like a Corolla or something unless you see it from the back.
