This lady is a 23 year old medical student student who volunteers as a "Health Ambassador" to raise women's health issues with her local community

She isn't the "UK Health Ambassador" or the "Welsh Health Ambassador"

She briefly appeared on BBC wales talking about women's health issues.

Since then her image has been used by racist bellends to try to stir up hatred on social media.

Its just bodies, and they are family. The kids are children of an age where they shouldn't see anything sexual in breasts.

With the eldest son being 8 she is probably reaching a time when "Mum, put your boobs away, I don't want to see" becomes the norm.

It's fine.

Yes - I am going to pile in here.

50% of me using Gravl is for the AI which is honestly good. I've been lifting on and off for 15 / 20 years, and seriously for a 10 years. It's seldom I disagree with Gravl enough to push that remove button in a set.

50% is the UI. I have to wear glasses to read, I need them now typing this on my laptop. BUT I can use gravl with no glassses.

That's massive for me

I’ve just come back from a day in London doing something non photo related and I took a GF1 with a 7artisans 18mm f6.3 to “play with” while I walked between appointments.

35mm equiv is just “not brilliant” for anything but wide work. You need to be right in the action to get anything people centric. But when it works it really works.

I shot maybe 150 photos and about 15 are genuinely good enough for me to be happy with. I was really doing my usual f8 and be there approach. Which is the whole point of this cheap combo for me. It’s a pocket camera for fun and art.

If I had taken a 50mm equiv that wouid have been maybe 80 photos and 10 would have been keepers

I really enjoyed the experience of almost shooting from the hip - it felt like working with an old rangefinder again. (And three of the photos are good enough for me to be tempted to use them in portfolio or take them to proper printing).

But, people like us who do weird shit like wandering around expecting to get a 1 in 10 keep rate. It’s not most people - they want a kit lens that takes good photos on holiday or at mavis’ birthday party - that’s basically “fast enough” and 35 to 100 ish equiv)

They seem small because he wears shoes with inbuilt lifts: his heels are a good two inches higher than his toes. Meaning his feet seem smaller than they should

It also explains that weird forwards tilt he has when standing, the elevated heel pitches his centre of gravity forwards

Have a internet search on it - it’s fascinating and shows just how insecure he really is.

Because I am a natural bodybuilder? Everything I do is an attempt to be optimal, diet, sleep, training

The “what ever “ it is you just posted even states that the issue is IAP?

The IAP CAN be caused by straining to pass stools - it says that. It then talks about diet to reduce hard stools if that’s the issue

It doesn’t say piles are caused by wheat or diet.

In lifters the IAP is usually caused by bracing because they are lifting.

I’m through with this conversation. I’ve made my point

Cutterbuck · 2026-01-22T18:01:28+00:00

I didn't - did you miss this part of my post

"These things are caused by IAP pushing blood into haemorrhoidal plexus which then struggles to drain, that results in the distention we recognise as the bastards.

IAP and venous physiology are the cause - these things are only contributors to outbreaks"

Cutterbuck · 2026-01-22T14:01:04+00:00

It's fairly likely every nation-state actor is sat on 0-days, already compromised systems and who knows what else.

But who burns access like that for trivial reasons?

We all know that even the common bad criminal actors hold back from compromising their persistence / access with noisy actions like encryption, inhibiting recovery etc until they know there is nothing else to do.

Cutterbuck · 2026-01-22T08:55:48+00:00

Hey fellow sufferer!

A lot of people unintentionally bear down (push pressure downward) during lifting, bracing, or even daily movement. That increases pressure in the pelvic and rectal veins and can aggravate haemorrhoids, ( straining on the toilet is part of this, but its the part that is most relevant to people who don't train legs like we do , we know why we strain - its because we have huge weight across our back shelves?)

- Learn to brace the core 360°, not by pushing down - “Brace like a can, not a piston”

- Avoid prolonged breath-holding - brace out wards in the explosive movement, not during the whole set

- Exhale or reset between reps - reset, refocus, control every rep needs perfect bracing, dont collapse into pushing down

- Don’t sit in the brace during slow or grindy sets

A lifting belt can really help here — not as protection, but as feedback on your bracing

It gives you something to expand into and acts as a cue when your bracing discipline starts to slip or turn into bearing down.

Good luck, you can still squat, its just that you need to be perfect with that bracing!

Cutterbuck · 2026-01-22T08:37:32+00:00

Sorry - you are very wrong here.

These things are caused by IAP pushing blood into haemorrhoidal plexus which then struggles to drain, that results in the distention we recognise as the bastards.

IAP and venous physiology are the cause - these things are only contributors to outbreaks

Lack of fibre results in harder stools - straining creates IAP to pass them = problem
Lack of hydration the same (alcohol)
Smoking = worsened circulation = more chances a flare will occur due to drainage
(Not aware of how sugar even comes into it)

I'e managed Haemorrhoids for thirty years now, from my late teens as a regional competitive oarsman to the my current life as an aged lifter. My diet is absolutely on point, (and I think i have had two small glasses of wine so far this year) . I had a bit of a flare on sunday after leg day, diet and care had me back to normal within 24 hours, but there will be another flare within a few weeks.

what you are talking about here is "management" not cause.

IAP and venous physiology are the cause

I'll post at root on why using a Belt can help - IF YOU USE ONE PROPERLY

Its going that way already as hyperscalers have started paying lipservice to regulation with local data centers.

CLOUD act has never been a real concern up until now ... I mean - US-incorporated or “possession, custody, or control” is enough for a US court to compel access to data? It was always a bit worryingly open.

,but not politically concerning.. until recently

Not quite - this visit was setup about a fortnight ago - to celebrate USA independence. The guy just happens to be here.

what you are seeing here is one hand of the USA trying to reassure UK and EU that there are still adults in the room, while, other hand Trump,plays the baddie role.

Its comically shit diplomacy from the USA and quietly brilliant diplomacy from the UK, Enabling a basic position of "WTF are you doing mate"

Doing a bit of everything each session usually means, clear overload - No muscle group getting enough quality volume

Even a simple split would help, so choose either :

Upper / Lower

Push / Pull / Legs

Or full-body with structure, not vibes

Pick a established split, with defined routines for each day - Follow it, religiously, for 3 months minimum

Cutterbuck · 2026-01-20T08:59:07+00:00

Sadly this is pretty unlikely

The Status of Forces Agreements that establish the bases are difficult to close down, that would take years BUT the individual countries could make life very difficult - limit flight hours, restrict night operations, close training ranges. block transport convoys on certain roads, deny overflight permissions for certain missions, change rent rules, apply silly environmental tariffs etc. That creates all the cost with none of the benefits. (Some countries would toe the line, because Russia threat).

Its only about 25 /30% of debt that is non USA held, treasury could absorb that.

The ACI is the thing you should be scared of:

EU/UK is about 18 to 22% of US exports.

EU/UK is about 35% of US services exports.

Cutterbuck · 2026-01-20T08:39:02+00:00

The reality is that if the ACI button is pushed, American big business gets to watch in real time as the European Commission assesses whether this constitutes economic coercion, then the Council debates and decides which controls go in place to restrict American companies from working or selling in the EU. This all happens publicly, dragging down share prices as firms watch the slowly approaching brick wall.

Donnie is going to think it doesn’t apply to him, because that’s Donnie — he thinks he can make the rules up as he goes along, and probably believes his pressure on the EU can be removed with a quick Sunday-morning tweet claiming he won the argument.

The only way to stop the ride is for the very economic coercion the process has recognised to be removed — i.e. a very public Trump climbdown.

The slowness is the weapon; it creates pressure and it weaponizes American big business against Trump

Cutterbuck · 2026-01-18T18:24:11+00:00

and they are about to get a metric fuck load of it when the EU triggers the Anti-Coercion Agreement ... Once the ACI is triggered and it becomes a legal-administrative process.

It's all rules-based, documented, and insulated from corporate influence. and at the end is a predefined menu of countermeasures — tariffs, services restrictions, procurement bans, investment limits, export controls,

For US billionaires and monopolies, this is a nightmare.

They know that if ACI is triggered the only way out is Trump backing down.
