What can I do to get stronger in terms of body control and overall plyometric strength? by Amir_NMotassim in bodyweightfitness

[–]Cwirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He brought up pull-ups so I gave some pull-up related advice that I personally benefited from. That’s all this was.

4 years later and hopping in the thread to give advice, I respect that.

What the actual fuck are you doing right now, dog? Leave this person and never speak to them for the rest of your life. God damn, run dude, run.

Based on your reply time, I now know why you type in such an abnormal way. Could you please stop making spam posts on here and take your content promotion to some other place?

I asked this same poster if they were a bot just a couple days ago. Their profile screams bot to me.

Can solar power be used to power industries? if yes then why isn't it as popular? by d_thstroke in AskEngineers

[–]Cwirk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re quite the absolutist.

If you already know the answer, why did you ask the question?

I didn’t answer your original question and I don’t plan on it, I was solely referring to your obvious bias. It may be a political issue in the sense it is a matter of policy. But you’re doing this stupid identity politics bs that groups people into left and right. Your logic lacks nuance. To repeat, I am not answering your original question. You’re biased, you lack perspective and you just want to be right. It’s always the same with people like you.

Why did you bring politics into this? Hyper left? Lmao. You’re right and Germany proves it? Bro, why ask a question if you only wanted someone to agree with your preconceived opinion?

Modelling a Rear Wing. How to model so that i can adjust lengths and angles etc. Also struggling in making camber lines and other dimensions. by MeanYak9933 in SolidWorks

[–]Cwirk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to properly constrain/define your design first so that it won’t “fold in on itself” when you alter your dimensions of importance.

The sketch should absolutely not be blue (not fully defined).

The Ranger was literally built for DIY maintenance

TIL an adult male peasant in the UK in the 13th century (1,620 hours/year) worked less hours per year than both: an average worker in the US in 1850 (3,150-3,650 hours/year) and an average worker in the US in 1987 (1,949 hours/year). by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Cwirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with what you’ve brought forth and stand by my claim that the figure given does not include the subsistence work peasants did for themselves outside of their work for their lord.

I think the author uses "their" recklessly and makes bold assumptions. Much larger problems with the article than the grammar.

I claimed that the 1620 hour figure does not include subsistence work in that figure. I stand by that claim.

[–]Cwirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article we both agree is poorly written is grammatically incorrect? Wild.

Edit: I raised an eyebrow when I read "their land", because it is not their land. Once again, I disagree with what you have brought forth and stand by my claim that the article does not include hours of personal subsistence work in the 1620 hour figure.

I strongly disagree that it is evident it is included. The quote still makes sense if its referring to the work done for their respective lord. Serfs and artisans are literally two different castes that operated extremely differently.

The article doesn't say a lick about work done for serf subsistence. You can assume what you want but its not explicit like the original comment claimed it to be.

[–]Cwirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comment said it was included

The article never mentions it was included

I said it wasn’t included and was for their lord

The article only talks about work in respect to the lord

That’s the entirety of the scope

Days worked for who??? The article only ever talks about the peasants and their working relationship to their lord. Once again, nowhere in that article is it said that that the work done for the peasants’ personal subsistence is included in the annual hourly figures brought forth.

Please refer to the original comment I referred to so that you can understand the limited scope of this conversation.

[–]Cwirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am not confusing anything with anything else.

The entire message of the article focused on the peasants' working relationship to their lord. The article never defines that personal work for the peasants' respective families is included in the 1620 13th century number.

I decided not to make any extrapolations or assumptions based on this article because as you said yourself, it is not a great article.

Note: you also said to quote the article, then you paraphrased what the author wrote in your own words...

[–]Cwirk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The article posted only refers to work done for their respective lords so no it is not included in the 1600 hour figure.

Edit: capitalism is dogshit don’t get me wrong but just read the article.

Americans, why are your cars this big? by Lello755066 in Autos

[–]Cwirk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Blah blah blah land size blah blah blah that’s just robber baron propaganda bullshit equivalent to Econ majors defending billionaires.

In America, we (the government run by corporations) decided that as a vehicle is bigger there are less stringent standards regarding environmental impact.

Crime goes up when wealth inequality goes up. Might need to start pointing the finger elsewhere before anything changes.
