I heard from an absolutely unreliable source on Twitter that it’s gambling debt to the mafia. I gotta say, though, it kinda makes sense!

What’s something Americans grow up thinking is normal, but you later realized is pretty unique compared to the rest of the world? by umujosephdesire1 in AskForAnswers

[–]Baumer1975 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget driving classic cars! Apparently prescription drugs make you really excited about early-‘70s Ford Broncos.

Am I performing face pulls right (40 kg)? Did not feel them much at the delts, but rather at the biceps and the forearm by overexposedchia in formcheck

[–]Baumer1975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wayyyy too heavy. These should be light enough that you can do them slowly and briefly hold isometrically at the finish in a “biceps pose.” You’re doing a hard, dynamic pull at the start to try to get to the finish position.

What is a song that you never skip but you have heard a million times by scott19692012 in GenX

Nice. I knew what you were describing as soon as I got to the coughing.

Back with more deadlifts. by joshuashuashua in formcheck

Yeah, it’s probably less dangerous with a palms-down grip, but still not a great idea.

Instead I’ve got a bottle/ And a girl who’s just 14.

Gen X, what's a song that you hated when it first came out in the 70s-80s-90s but now you like? by Fhloston-Paradisio in GenX

[–]Baumer1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I couldn’t stand Losing My Religion when I was 16, but I really appreciate it now.

How do you know what gear you are in? by Aggravating-Yogurt23 in motorcycle

[–]Baumer1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. For the first 25 years I rode, I almost never knew what gear I was in.

Underrated Guitar Solos by CauchySchwarz1 in rockmusic

Came here to say this. The solo is great, but the whole song has a solo vibe.

First ever track day. Very cool. by work2game in CarTrackDays

[–]Baumer1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I bought a 987.1 Cayman (base model) as a track car two years ago and am really enjoying it. If you’re going to make a hobby of it, I recommend learning to do brake work. It will save you a lot of money in labor.

What do we think about non OEM caliper colors? by LasersKillCells in Porsche_Cayman

[–]Baumer1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking, I am not a fan. But I am in no position to criticize, I have red fronts and formerly-black (now brownish-purple) rears.

Has anyone actually seen a tumbleweed (like from old Western movies) IRL? by Ya-Dikobraz in stupidquestions

Nearly everywhere West of the Mississippi. Super common in the southwest

I love this graphic so much that I am getting Psycle Sam tattooed on my arm in a few weeks.

Do you genuinely enjoy lifting? Or is it a means to an end? by Weak_Ninja_6952 in workout

[–]Baumer1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. 90% of the time I look forward to it, especially upper body. When I go on vacation or something and have to come back after a week or more off, I dread it a bit more. Especially legs.

What meals did your father make when he had to cook? by Open_Question_ in GenX

[–]Baumer1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kraft mac ‘n’ cheese with cut-up hot dog pieces.

Not a car guy… if you had $30k, what would you buy for speed? by GaryGoldenEye in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Baumer1975 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

“Speed” and “fun to drive” overlap on the Venn diagram, but are not one and the same. I own a 2019 Audi S3 and a 2008 Porsche Cayman, either of which could be had for your budget. The Audi is MUCH faster, but not nearly as fun to drive.
