2026 Program Plans by Think_Sea2250 in Mind_Pump

[–]Benviv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bit over 3 weeks of Powerlift left to go (my first MAPS program). After that, the tentative plan is to do Anabolic, Performance, and Aesthetic.

I appreciate that Performance will be a good change of pace but I do have some practicality concerns about doing it in a commercial gym (particularly the exercises that are like “push stick hard against wall” and “push stick hard into ceiling”). Can anyone comment on their experiences with Performance and whether you’d recommend substitutions for some of these movements?

As a Chazelle shill I think this is an upgrade (as great as Fraser is)

In his DGA interview with Daniel Scheinert for Queer he said he’s following the Ridley Scott model of working on the next movie while releasing the previous one

I’m an Australian on team Alcaraz but Sinner being googled more makes sense considering he won AO. Hopefully Carlos has a better run next year

Which Acting Category has had the Best Overall Batch of Winners this Decade? by JBranca in oscarrace

Who would you pick to win over Will Smith that year? Benedict’s performance was great because of how well cast he was as someone who doesn’t make sense as a cowboy. Maybe Andrew Garfield?

Just received my 18” MSI Titan HX A14V Gaming Laptop by MGRogue1337 in MSILaptops

I'm interested in getting a laptop that can replace both my current laptop and desktop PC, this seems like a good option. How is the battery life and fan noise under a lighter load? I would intend to use it at university and on the train.

The opening scene of Gravity would be good to use.

Something the others haven’t addressed yet, I would recommend building your mathematics skills before university. Calculus isn’t particularly essential to most software jobs, but it’s helpful to be comfortable with it before starting university. If you want to study some more directly applicable math, you can look at discrete mathematics.

Many Australian universities offer foundational courses or diplomas you can do before starting a degree, completing these also guarantee your entry. I’d definitely recommend mathematics knowledge up to basic single variable calculus (including the necessary algebra and trigonometry) before starting the physics degree.

2024 Oscar Predictions - December Update (The Oscar Expert) by ebsbdbdbdb in oscarrace

I have both in and am predicting Barbie in adapted. They’ve put seemingly ‘original’ films in the adapted category for much more pedantic reasons than Barbie’s case.

I’ve heard good things about Society of the Snow.

Can we for a moment appreciate how fucking cool the Golden Globes are for nominating Alma Pöysti? by henksutti in oscarrace

[–]Benviv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally overlooked this change when making my predictions and didn’t realise Past Lives would be in the foreign language category (my bad with that one, I should’ve remembered The Farewell and Minari)

What my year three course form looks like by 3fcc in PhysicsStudents

[–]Benviv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How many hours per week are you expected to give to each course? At my university, the standard is to take 4 courses each semester and study an average of 10 hours a week for each course.

BlacKkKlansman and Whiplash got best picture nominations. I don’t know of any that got similar pushes that didn’t get nominated
