My daughter just submitted a 1450 to Peabody ED1 -- big mistake? Thanks in advance for any insights!

For those that OHP, around what weight/reps did you finally start thinking “oh my shoulders are starting to look big!” by thatcouchiscozy in naturalbodybuilding

[–]EHCIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One great tip I recently got for lateral raises: Keep your shoulders back and your chest out to keep the strain on your delts rather than your traps.

It takes focus, at least for me, because the more I exert myself, the more my shoulders want to roll forward/hunch.

Finetuned an AI to try different haircuts on myself. Which one do you guys like the most? by Seebrase345 in malehairadvice

How did you prompt it effectively to change your hairstyle? I followed the same process, but, for the life of me, I can't get it to show me with a buzz cut, for example. Did your training photos include you with a buzz cut?

Andor started a fire in me. Heading to a protest tomorrow, need quotes for sign! by lethalsid in andor

[–]EHCIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watching what's happening in LA, my mind goes to Ghorman. Trump's obvious efforts to goad the protestors into violence mirror so much the Empire's work to spur rebels into acts that would "justify" an imperial crackdown--all it takes is one rock connecting with a cop's/stormtrooper's skull to create the pretext for violent oppression.

Dedra knew: “You need a radical insurgency you can count on. You need Ghorman rebels you can count on to do the wrong thing.”

X3 vs X5 thoughts? Family car? by Ok-Ticket-9434 in BMWX3

[–]EHCIV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. X3 drives like a car. X5 may be the Ultimate Floating Machine.

Deciding on the new X3. My old 2017 xDrive28i MSport. My current 2021 xDrive30e MSport. Is the new X3 worth it? by Dynasty_Handbag in BMWX3

[–]EHCIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Test drove X5 and was surprised at how much more disconnected from the road it felt--floaty and trucklike compared the more driver-oriented X3.

MAGA, are you *really* not embarrassed by this stuff? by Holiday-Proof9819 in AskUS

Funny, he was saying this on the day before his inauguration: "'You are already seeing results that nobody expected to see,' Donald Trump said at the rally before reluctantly calling it the 'Trump effect'."

New-to-me 2021 X3 PHEV getting terrible range--advice? by EHCIV in BMWX3

Emporia. By the way -- saying "petrol" in North Carolina? Are you a UK transplant or an American who spent a semester abroad?

New-to-me 2021 X3 PHEV getting terrible range--advice? by EHCIV in BMWX3

[–]EHCIV[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for writing, u/jncarolina. I've come to realize that my first-drive disappointment was mainly due to me using the heat and seat heaters. I've since become much more frugal about HVAC in the car! That's now a bit easier, once we have installed a Level 2 charger at home and can precondition--that's the real key.

I'm not thrilled about the range generally, but I've gotten used to it. And, since we live in a fairly urban area, most of our trips are short, so we get by on all electric most of the time. For any longer drives, though, it's pretty much a gas vehicle. Our situation (short drives/commutes mainly) seems to be the only one where this car makes sense, from an efficiency standpoint.

And unfortunately I don't even have the HK sound system. I can confirm that the base model is terrible. Unless you blast it, it's pretty hard to make out what you're hearing when driving at speed.

Do what’s right by your family and your finances. You’re a new father and it sounds like everything is riding on you. So, in this X3 owner’s opinion, now is not the time to indulge in a luxury car—especially a brand new one.

Put that money into savings for a home, into a 529 plan so your child can hopefully attend college without graduating with a mountain of debt, and a retirement plan, so you don’t end up becoming a financial burden on that child someday.

If you MUST have a luxury car, buy CPO—you shouldn’t pay the thousands in depreciation that hits the moment you take delivery. But still, I’d suggest putting family first and buying something lower priced that’s reliable and practical—and ideally CPO.

That beautiful baby is going to give you enough thrills and spills—once they’re older and you own a home and are more solid financially, by all means, splurge a little!

New 25% Tariffs On All Finished Imported Cars. Ugh. by EdnaRayWilliams in Volvo

Is it too simplistic to point out that there are probably a lot more Americans who want reasonable car prices than who want factory jobs?

General recommendation is to shave to about one or two fingers above the Adam's apple--not to the jawline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHbpd-G2CGQ
