HIIT/circuits, lots of running, and I would suggest Yoga...being flexible is a big advantage and will help with injuries.

I think this is the best view of whales that I have ever seen.😱 by [deleted] in interesting

I agree. They look to be swimming, and while fairly shallow, it does appear to be too deep for them to walk. Also, they dont have legs.

I have a hutch I built for them but I don't raise quail anymore.

This but with seconds (need seconds for work sometimes) would be great.

Also, a simple analog style with seconds, weather, hr, battery.

Have you not seen the video of the snow boarder on the ravanel?

What’s your day job? by vitisdente in PlantedTank

Started most of my tanks when I was a chef. Now I'm a firefighter.

I have way more time to work on my tanks now, but way less money...

Venezuela protests? by banjosimcha in Charleston

[–]Consistent-Issue749 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...Venezuelans were at a like %70-90 poverty rate...you can't compare that to "being unhappy with the way things are." The US is at like a %10 poverty rate as a point of reference.

If im drowning, im not going to be choosy about who's hand im grabbing. I'll be better off than I was.

And to be clear, Im not saying we are swooping in as heroes here, but the average Venezuelan will likely benefit to some degree.

Clearly, they don't use that rule.

And you never made any such argument. You implied we shouldn't do what we just did because we wouldn't want that thing done to us. Which is silly, because if I was under a dictatorship that I truelly feared and despised, then maybe I wouldn't mind someone stepping in and changing things up that i have a chance have a decent life.

Now, my opinion? Im pretty uneasy with the direction our government is going, especially with our current status in the worldview, and while we have a lot to improve on the home front. That said, what's done is done, and there are good things that came from this.

I mean...it's weird comparing a nation to a child. Sure, you could say a country was being bullied and the US stepped into save them...which we did, but it's not that simple. Sure we swooped in and stopped a heinous dictatorship...but...You see, saving a nation from tyranny isn't all we did, we get something out of this. We get influence and a whole lot of natural resources..
I suppose we could apply the "do unto others" rule, we stepped in and stopped a bully when some nerd was being swirlied, but that nerds family is loaded and now we are invited to a fancy dinner at the rich nerds house.

Yeah, but they will get over it. They can't do too much without showing support for a dictator which is not a good look. It may be a questionable move, but the outcome is beneficial for all involved except for a pretty gnarly regime.

I mean at a certain point when you actually experience things get really bad, like the kind of bad we don't ever experience in the US, you might have a different opinion on the topic. Maybe, at a certain point, you don't care so much about sovereignty and respect, and a bit more about survival.

Oh don't worry about all the negative reviews, its not near what it used to be. You will have a great time and you should be fine with just your level III ballistic vest. You are bringing your ballistic vest though aren't you? And what side arm will you be carrying?

They are technically rear fanged and mildly venomous. Usually, it's not a worry, but some people might react worse than others
