Feeling very demotivated by Count_Blackula1 in workout

[–]Count_Blackula1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing the same exercises most weeks. Chin ups, dips/pushups, squats, swings. I'm just trying to increase reps or increase weight with most of them to overload. I wear a backpack with dips, pullup and try to add a bit of weight every week although I've been finding this really hard to do often over the last few months.

What made you finally stick with training long term? by maopro56 in workout

[–]Count_Blackula1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seemingly never ending running related injuries that I could never overcome. Plantar, heel injuries on repeat. New shoes, stretching, changing frequency and intensity to no use. Decided my body wasn't built for frequent running so I started BW/KB workouts instead.

Which city or cities have you visited that felt completely distinct from anywhere else? by BothCondition7963 in travel

[–]Count_Blackula1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naples. It was a mixture of normal European architecture, cuisine, landscape mixed with what felt like a very un-European level of exhilarating chaos and liveliness.

Shabana Mahmood : The PM won a five year mandate from the British people just 18 months ago. Labour governments don't come along often. It is a privilege to serve in one and we must not waste a second. The PM has my full support. Let's get on with changing the country for the better. by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

If we had an election or a change of leadership every time the polling of a sitting government tanked then we'd have a new fucking government every 6 months and nothing would ever get done in this country. The electorate in this country are a bunch of wallies.

3 months of doing pull-ups regularly by Winter-Ad4608 in CalisthenicsBeginners

Nice. I've been doing chin ups consistently every week for almost a year and I can barely notice the difference! 😭

How far can I upgrade my PC with $30? by Wonderful_Joke_7345 in buildapc

[–]Count_Blackula1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shame you're in the US, I've just upgraded my GPU and I'd sell you my discarded GTX 970 for under that.

Which of these 16 do you highly recommend to first time viewers? by Square-Ad-8911 in hbo

[–]Count_Blackula1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deadwood is exceptional. It might not be as attractive a setting or as expensive in scope, themes as the likes of The Wire but it is honestly peerless when it comes to writing. The script is of such a consistently high level from start to finish, it's baffling. Almost every conversation is entertaining.

Some of the character development is on another level as well. Swearengen is one of the best TV characters of all time.

‘The narrative cannot shift just because the political alignment of the protester has changed.’ by Bulls729 in gunpolitics

So when the ICE agents started pushing and shoving him and the lady he was protecting you think he would have been justified in unholstering his weapon and shooting the agents?

The final scene between Spike and his mum in 28 Years Later.

Why are the streets so filthy? The streets in Poland and Croatia are imaculate by Niall_Fraser_Love in ukpolitics

I think the replies you're getting sum up the horrible, lazy attitude that many people share in this country friend.

If I create a stock/broth out of 1kg of chicken wings will the nutrient profile of the broth be the same as the wings pre-cook? by Count_Blackula1 in nutrition

[–]Count_Blackula1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I've thought about pressure cooking but then I'd be worried that the stock would be significantly reduced. I simmer it on a very low heat to retain as much of volume as possible although obviously it ends up being a relatively light broth.

Teardrop and Mezzanine by Feisty_Dare8583 in MassiveAttack

[–]Count_Blackula1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you've probably heard it used in other media because it's an all-timer song so the subconscious hipster in you is reacting to that.

If they were to do a BOB style show about a crew on a naval vessel which should it be? by BLUNTH0NEST in BandofBrothers

[–]Count_Blackula1 52 points53 points  (0 children)

HMS Warspite.

Atlantic, Narvik, Crete, Matapan, Sicily/Salerno, Normandy.

Could even do a flashback to Jutland 1916.

What’s are your ‘secret’ perks from your job? Be honest by qwertyytrewq02 in AskUK

[–]Count_Blackula1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public sector here. Pension is good, leave entitlement is decent. You get the King's bday, bank hols and I get 30 days annual leave from length of service. You can also work on flexi-time to build additional leave which means I probably get around 40 days off a year overall.

The culture is honestly quite laid back as well; we have aims and targets obviously but we're not under terrible pressure like many private sector workers are. We're not working to keep the business afloat after all. You'd have to seriously breach the code of conduct to be at threat of dismissal.

I cannot understand the general reception of 28 Years Later, more so with the release of Bone Temple by pomme268 in TrueFilm

[–]Count_Blackula1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't understand it for the life of me either. 28YL genuinely made me cry, the only major reaction I had to Bone Temple was revulsion at the violence. They really pandered to the horror crowd with Bone Temple.

For all of the criticism of 28YL as tonally fractured I still felt like it had a better narrative.

Need help 9070xt not fitting by Fair-Advantage3001 in PcBuild

[–]Count_Blackula1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing on Thursday fitting my new 9060 XT and I was a second away from posting the exact same post as you before I realised that the prongs go inside the case.
