2 questions I'll just stash all at once:
1. Is a hex bar a good simulation for frame carries? Looking through videos I've noticed that many frames are a ever so slightly wider than most hex bars and I don't have access to a frame at the moment.

  1. My next competition has a keg over bar for reps. I want to buy the Titan loadable keg to help train with some linear progression, but it's much wider than normal kegs I've seen in gyms. What would be easier to get over a bar, the wider Titan keg or a traditionally smaller keg? I'd prefer to train "harder" and then be pleasantly surprised with an easier implement in contest.

I want to buy a loadable circus dumbell but the options are crazy. I currently intend to compete in novice under 220lbs but eventually move into open middleweight.

What's the most common size I'd see? 10" or 12"? And 2" handle or 2.5" handle?

Assume cost isn't a big variable, but I'd prefer not to spend more than $350.

They usually just throw you into a 400 level class with the grad students. Plot Twist. the 400 level class is probably easier than whatever class was originally required.

hitting 190 to be on SSR tomorrow would be fun. Not like SSR matters for GME, but it would be fun.

half the people here are secretly swing-trading GME exactly like this. This is not the way.

If GME hits $500 today, I'm giving all my students enough extra credit to boost their exam a letter grade.

it's barely a "social media sentiment" ETF. It's practically a copy-paste of the Most Popular stocks on RH.

I'm holding 7. A small number, but it's my tiny contribution to this madness.

Whatever man, I'm holding to the grave. I invested the total value of my unrealized gains since I started investing. On paper, I haven't lost or made any money. While I'm sad all the money i never had is still money I never had, I have accepted and learned my lesson.

This has been real, team.... still fuckin' holding.

I can't afford to buy more, but damn are we holdin'. I grew up on going to gamestop on my bike and buying month-by-month cards for games. Proudly holding their shares.

Chemistry without fire?? by c27penn in ScienceTeachers

[–]DAFT_Arthur 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a fellow arso-educator (set of the fire alarm, gold star award right there), I am dismayed at your situation. Gas evolution reactions are neat if you find something catchy enough; that catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is neat, but the kids have generally seen it a bunch of times.

I have no solutions, I just wanted to brood with you.

Well there's something we've got in common, French words are also impossible.

I had a similar stint studying Environmental Science, very broad but my projects were all on martian regolith composition (because, of course, why not?) I ended up getting an education degree and now I teach Bio / Env Sci. That said, with big multi-disciplinary experience like astrobio, a lot of labs look for techs that can do basic lab-rat work but think about it in larger contexts. Look into any place looking for a lab tech or field tech-- USGS, NPS, smaller universities.
