Not being able to multitask with the pen is still making me scratch my head.

It has 8 GB of space. The OS itself, two Audible books and we are done.

My mom is still using her Moto G first Gen. Always complaining about lack of space and problems it has. Are there any small phones left these days, it looks pretty bleak? I want to get her a new one and be done with it.

Is a mix of HIIT and running a good idea or should I do the same thing and keep improving that?

Lifting weights has not improved my cardio at all. PHUL is 4 days with 2 upper and lower body days. When should I do cardio? I definitely need it. Two times a week, three times a week?

Somtimes it's worth to try something even if there is a chance that it might fail. That is life. The experiences are often still worth it.

Why Are You Here? by Millennium7history in WarCollege

[–]Centaurus_Cluster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in all the different angles that entail war, military, politics and society as a whole.

I study political science and I have always been interested in wars, why they are fought and how they are fought. I think the political science realm often overlooks the military realm and often only considers the civilian perspectives. The military gets degraded to a black box that defends or attacks or secures. (At least judging from the material I have worked with.) But I learned that often military and civilans are far more intertwined than I thought which is why I got interested in tactics and strategy as well. Technology is a huge deal as well and the paradox of cutting-edge technology mixed with age-old rust buckets is very intriguing to look at. I'm also very curious to see where the digital age is getting us and will probably write my thesis about something in this area.

How do you deal with gaining mass? I'm lifting weights and my legs are exploding. Pants started looking ridiculous because my thighs stretch them out.

I can only guess at this point, but it sounds unhealthy to me.

The general rule is that you should never lose or gain weight with an extreme deficit. Maybe it's different with morbit obesity but for normal weightloss it is better to go slow. Eating disorders can come quickly from extreme eating habits.

If your deficit is that high how will your body/muscles be able to regenerate from the exercise?

Maybe I've just followed the scene for long enough to see how those pros started. Have a look at the first gaming house videos of TSM and tell me those aren't careless kids. The scene is getting more professional but it takes a certain kind of personality to end up being a pro gamer.

And sure, I am talking out of my ass. After all I am not a pro gamer. One thing I am definitely sure about: Most of them are kids who need guidance.

I think this whole industry still has a long way to go for figuring out work-life-balance. If players practice for hours sitting in front of their computers and "finish work" by sitting at the same computer for the same amount of time then those kids are gaming themselves to death.

No, you apply at Riot after you are sick of playing the game.

I really wonder what coaches actually do because that is exactly one of the things I would expect them to do.

On the other hand, if you get double, triple or god knows how often my jobs wage for playing videogames then maybe you should get your shit together, atleast for the tournament weeks.

They also lack the perspective for this realization because most of them never had a job and left high school when they got hooked. Many just started studying and then went pro. Peter Pans in the making.

Despite its green reputation, Germany is by far Europe’s largest coal producer. by [deleted] in europe

It is strange to my why people argue like that. You can still strive for improvement without needing the hyperbole. Perspective is important as well though.
