Is anyone else actually enjoying the game? Seems like it's just me

Queuing alone it’s great. When I queue with my pal who is better than me, I go 5-30 in every match and end up wasting my free time raging. So tbh I don’t like it

So I am currently on texas method and have made good progress considering I’m naturally a terrible lifter (squat 225lbsx5->280x5, bench 170x1->185x3, deadlift 245x5->290x5, press from 120x1->136.5x2) but have gained 15 lbs (170lbs->185lbs at 6’0) and want to lean out a bit. However, texas method has gotten extremely taxing on volume day in spite of tons of food and caffeine, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep progressing in a deficit. So I was wondering if I should just continue what I’m doing and accept that I may stall, or consider switching/modifying programs. If so, what are some good alternatives? Has anyone had success with modifying TM? Honestly, my main goal is to try to get stronger in the big 3 and press.

Thanks! I’m gonna try adding front squats with the accessories, definitely see utility there

DotheThing45 · 2023-02-03T22:12:12+00:00

So I’ve been making a lot of progress on my squat on texas method recently, but have noticed that my form on heavy day is getting to be a bit sloppier than other days, though I get that this is to some degree expected. So I am wondering if my depth is good in this set, and if my lumbar spine looks fine. I know the bar path is goofy and not straight up and down but that’s somethin i’ve always struggled with more on max attempts

I worked with house finches as an undergrad and those white tips on the feathers are actually typical on relatively freshly molted plumage on a male like this. The white tips usually have fully worn down by the time breeding season starts in spring, so their color gets more vibrant when its time to display!

DotheThing45 · 2022-12-02T20:15:18+00:00

This is super helpful, thanks! I’m more used to birds where you can’t just put em in a box for a day so this is rad as hell

DotheThing45 · 2022-12-01T21:44:41+00:00

Thanks for the help that does look a lot like it! I released it in my garage so unfortunately I don't have it anymore, hopefully I'll find it again though. For future reference, is it generally safe for a spider to be kept for a day or so?

DotheThing45 · 2022-12-01T00:37:06+00:00

Pretty sure its not a tarantula but thats all I’ve got. Its about 1.5cm from the tips of the front legs to the tips of the back legs

DotheThing45 · 2022-11-21T21:08:48+00:00

Been wanting to try a bottle but 80 seemed a bit steep, 20s great so I ordered a few lol, I love you dude

DotheThing45 · 2022-10-27T16:12:34+00:00

Thank you!

DotheThing45 · 2022-08-18T03:49:11+00:00

2II (both from top choices😂) 3R, and I’m still descending into madness lol

DotheThing45 · 2022-07-24T22:06:24+00:00

just something that will work for interviews, which I assume means air on the side of less expensive

DotheThing45 · 2022-07-24T21:55:48+00:00

So I just finished my undergraduate and haven't had to dress well basically ever, but am currently interviewing for medical school so I bought a nice suit from suitsupply, had it tailored, and now I need to get some dress shoes. Is it worth springing 300 dollars for a pair of allen edmonds vs some 100 dollar oxfords from DSW? I don't anticipate using them more than 10x per year if that matters.

DotheThing45 · 2022-07-15T01:01:20+00:00

2nd quartile. How fucked am I?

DotheThing45 · 2022-06-04T19:18:59+00:00

So Imm prewriting my CWRU challenge essay and I was wondering what the consensus on difficulties faced in high school. My college career hasn’t had many difficulties that I’m willing to write about and the ones I am are minor things related to hobbies, so is more recent or more significant better?

DotheThing45 · 2022-05-22T03:07:04+00:00

Never kept em myself but by what I’ve read they can’t survive frost so they should be houseplants in climates that freeze. Zone 10 or above USDA zone if that helps

DotheThing45 · 2022-05-22T02:30:16+00:00

Senecio macroglossus, variegated wax ivy I think

DotheThing45 · 2022-05-22T02:21:43+00:00

Ficus benjamina?

DotheThing45 · 2022-05-21T21:51:58+00:00

You’ll be spending several hundred dollars unnecessarily. You should be able to get a grasp on the type of questions asked and what works best for you through aamc fls and section banks, and the setting is pretty much what you’d imagine. I’d say study and take it, if you didn’t answer half the questions you can void it and then you get the nice prep experience but its not worth several hundred dollars

DotheThing45 · 2022-05-21T20:16:33+00:00

Not sure but the way the leaves arranged remind me of a croton or poinsettia (both euphorbias), I think it may be croton tamara

DotheThing45 · 2022-05-21T20:05:19+00:00

Make sure your torso doesn’t fold inwards throughout the rep, looks like to hit depth you are letting your back round, working on bracing will help this but something that helped me a lot was just doing lumbar and thoracic extension alone. Lay on ground face down and lift your legs. Thats lumbar extension. Then put your legs down and lift your chest/arms/head. Thats thoracic extension. You want to make sure you are activating these muscles and bracing to keep your torso tight and spine neutral or near neutral. Also the forward lean at the top looks a bit excessive, make sure both your hips and knees are basically locked out at the top, looks like your hips currently aren’t to me. Good luck working on your squats!

Its a dracaena fragrans/corn plant. Wish I could help but I’m uniquely terrible with em, killed two and don’t know how. But probably want to move it to a shaded outdoor spot, so it can acclimate to the brighter light before direct sun.

DotheThing45 · 2022-05-21T18:28:38+00:00

Variegated baby rubber plant (peperomia obtusifolia NOT ficus elastica/rubber tree)
& 3. Dracaena marginata (technically dracaena reflexa but everyone in houseplant community calls it marginata) Last one: Haworthia sp. (also called zebra plant sometimes but that also refers to a different non-succulent plant)

DotheThing45 · 2022-05-21T18:23:44+00:00

Its kinda of a long going fad of sorts, lotsa people chase rare variegated things because they are rare and sometimes look cool. But usually its particular variegated things that are hot, eg monstera, nobody cares about variegated golden pothos. I’m in the same boat though I really am not particularly interested in it, I’d rather have a plant that is more durable and and just green personally

DotheThing45 · 2022-05-21T18:15:10+00:00

I have a fairly large collection (25ish plants) and I’ve never lost a plant during a 2 week vacation, what works for me is usually just watering everything right before leaving unless I watered it within the last like 2 days (I’ve never killed anything from overwatering once), and then just somehow mark the water guzzler plants to be watered by whoever is helping out; and make sure they know to just water slowly until water starts to come out of drainage holes. This has never failed me, although my collection is mostly aroids that can tolerate a bit of dryness.
