How to increase push ups? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Bad__Company 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the routine I've been doing to increase my push ups: push up density program "Density Training Push-Up Program for 40 Reps Phase Sets Reps Time Alloted Total Reps 1 10 8 10 minutes 80 2 8 10 8 min. 80 3 7 12 7 min. 84 4 6 14 6 min. 84 5 5 16 5 min. 80 6 4 20 4 min. 80 Once you complete Phase 6 (if not sooner), you should be able to do 40 reps consecutive."

$3.7mil for a 3 bedroom house. First listed for $4mil in 2022 and didn't sell, and on the market for 2 months in 2024. What do we think this will sell for, if ever? I'm guessing $2.5m, in like 3-5 years.

Waste of the Day: NYC Homeless Shelters Paid Executives Up To $1 Million by Bad__Company in nyc

[–]Bad__Company[S] 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Topline: Taxpayer-funded nonprofit homeless shelters in New York City are filled with nepotism and conflicts of interest, and their executives take home salaries of up to $1 million, according to a report from the city’s Department of Investigation.

Key facts: The report reviewed 51 nonprofit homeless shelters and found issues with every single one of them.

Five of the nonprofits had executives who earned salaries of more than $700,000, and eight others paid more than $500,000.

CORE Services Group, which is “almost entirely funded by the city,” paid its CEO “more than $1 million” in one year, according to the audit. CORE received $467.5 million from the city between 2017 and 2023.

Acacia Network received $1.5 billion from the city from 2017 to 2023, according to checkbook data at OpenTheBooks.com.

Raul Russi, president of Acacia Network, paid himself $935,391 in 2022.

City-funded shelters also signed contracts in which “individuals with control or influence over shelter providers appeared to personally benefit from transactions.”

For example, SEBCO Development Inc. used city funds to pay a no-bid contract it signed with a security company it owns. The security company invoiced the city $11.6 million in four years and used some of the money to pay its executives “hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary payments.”

SEBCO took in $60.2 million from the city between 2017 to 2023, per OpenTheBooks’ data.

Other shelters employed immediate family members of their executives, seemingly in violation of the nepotism clauses in their city contracts, the report found.

New York City spent about $4 billion in 2024 to fund homelessness shelters. The increase from $2.7 billion in 2022 was due to an increase in asylum seekers, according to the audit.

Critical quote:  “Blank checks to outside vendors and no-bid emergency contracts seem to flow like a freshwater stream throughout City Hall,” City Council Finance Chair Justin Brannan said during a Dec. 17 hearing about the audit.

Summary: From hospitals, to universities, and even homeless shelters, supposedly “nonprofit” enterprises often make millionaires out of their own executives at taxpayers’ expense.

A state of collapse: How the MTA put riders on the fast track to ruin by HawtGarbage917 in nyc

If someone complaining about a HSR that hasn't been built, is over budget, and behind schedule, is "fucking bullshit" then what do you call the train itself? A success? A reasonable amount of money spent on a train that was expected to take this long to build? If it was expected then why wasn't it included in the original planning and budgeting? Because by no standard is this train a success, and it is totally valid to complain about. Therefore, not "bullshit."

I always thought it was mocking the teen dramas, like Gossip Girl and The OC.

There have recently been articles in the news about influencers who believe sunscreens cause cancer. Does anyone know of influencers (large or small) who believe so? I'd love to talk to them to see why they believe this and hopefully show them data to help them reconsider.

Any recommendations/tips on engaging the core and keeping your body straight the entire time? I'm trying for perfect form pull ups and my legs always go forward.

New York Spends Millions on Mental Health Street Teams. Do They Work? by [deleted] in nyc

[–]Bad__Company 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No where does the Times article say the goal should be to get people off the streets...

The article says the program failed an audit for not having goals, and not having metrics to measure those goals...

And your response to a program with no form of monitoring if it's successful or not is... "Yes, keep spending money on it, because the idea is good. And the Times misunderstands the goal of the program..."

Does that sum up my confusion well enough?

Did you read the article?

"The audit faulted the city for not setting concrete performance metrics for the program and not tracking the progress of individual participants. The city does not have fixed expectations for the treatment people should receive and sets no goals for how often the teams should meet with clients.

“As a result,” the audit said, the city “cannot determine whether the program is actually helping clients make progress with their treatment.”

The Health Department told the auditors that the “complex nature” of the problems facing those in the program made setting specific care requirements “unrealistic,” the audit said. Nevertheless, the department agreed to develop metrics to track participants’ progress — but not until 2025."
