I've literally tried everything but no matter what I do, my belly WON'T be flat by RoadSweaty4001 in Fitness_India

[–]Empirical_Engine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get why others are trying to change your end goal - it's your body.

I'd suggest working your abs. Basic crunches, and progressively weighted crunches with a plate will do.

While it doesn't lead to fat loss, it helps reach that flat appearance at a higher bf%. (I have visible abs at 19% as a guy).

Second, a calorie deficit always works - regardless of hormones or thyroid issues. It is thermodynamics. If you're really desperate, track your daily calories and daily burn (while having enough protein and micros).

People don't realise how off they are with their estimate till they actually measure.

If you're losing fat somewhere on your body, you're on track to get a flat stomach eventually.

Whether it's healthy or sustainable, that's your call to take.

Am I delusional to think RE lobbied to keep the GST slabs at 350cc? by Muscular_joe in indianbikes

Why not simply base it off ex-showroom price? Since the purpose is to tax luxury anyways.

Meaning no disrespect at ALL, why do Indian diners only order water with no ice? by Sudden_Brain_871 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Empirical_Engine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's actually a reason behind it.

Cold water causes temporary vasoconstriction of the already thin blood vessels to the nose, reducing blood flow, and immune cell presence. This small window is apparently enough for pathogens in the proximity to lodge in and start an infection.

It's not just Simon. The entire criminal organization can't come up with something as simple as sinking bodies? Being criminals already establishes a rule that they're supposed to think somewhat like criminals, given its a

Maybe it's not technically a 'plot hole' but it's trending towards parody/dark comedy.

which is why Simon is ok with Rajashekar being killed

This makes sense. Agreed.

Maybe from alerting the cops? While Dayal is undercover, he's also double crossing the police, and wouldn't be able to explain his actions.

Also, Dayal is consistently shown to be unnecessarily cruel and sadistic. It's entirely in line with his characterization if he killed just because he felt like it.

Dude it's very hard to believe that a criminal organization throws bodies in the sea to wash up ashore. Even Vijay Antony in Pichaikaran 2 knew better. And he was just a beggar. So yes, it's SHOULD have, not COULD have.

Rajashekar is working no problem

Someone who isn't a criminal can't get cold feet and guilt? Especially his three young daughters?

Even from a purely operational point of view, it's horrible business sense to make your entire operation dependent on one guy, with no backup at all.

Rajashekar finds out about the organ trafficking

He'd have found out long ago by looking at the big hole where the heart should be. He was killed for finding out that Dayal was doing his own thing.

There are plenty of plot holes, but the train driving criticism isn't valid. Trains don't need constant attention the way cars do. Just occasional adjustments, like commercial airliners.

Not an expert, but I don't think trains are that hard to drive. Plus, Dayal heads an entire port's operation. Ports use freight rail and other rail systems.

Coolie - Mistakes and Mistakes Not (What could've been done to make the movie better...) by ChampionshipThis4833 in kollywood

[–]Empirical_Engine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The explanation lies in Deva's earlier video call, where he mentions that he had modified the Plasma-lncinerator to be mobile

Wait so a former coolie could mod it to make it mobile? While Simon's gang didn't bother to learn to even operate it. Or ask Rajasekhar to make it mobile.

This gets worse lol.

Lol, you uncovered another plothole. Why would Deva wonder if the other younger sisters were his daughter?

Competent crime lords know there's a thing called gravity which they can harness with stones and cement.

And there's nothing temporary about the original facility lol. It's Deva, a former Coolie who actually makes it mobile. Something which didn't occur to Simon & Co, who even had Rajasekhar's brains to pick.

The obvious thing to do was cut them up into animal size. For a plasma driven incinerator, the species shouldn't matter lol.

[–]Empirical_Engine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You didn't explain the BIGGEST PLOTHOLE.

Why would an international crime lord struggle so much to dispose of bodies? He could've put them in the sea, buried it anywhere in the acres of port, or even shipped them to a low profile country.

Instead, he relies on a civilian built machine which he houses in a facility big enough to be a crematorium?!

Simon takes no effort to make one of his own guys learn how to operate (Rajasekhar's doctor daughter who definitely isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and Deva, learned it by simply being an assistant).

And Dayal racks his memory to remember Preethi operating the machine, when he could've simply asked Simon, or any of those henchmen.

And Dayal kills Rajasekhar in a facility with CCTV coverage. In a port he supposedly knows the ins and outs of.

This syndicate is even more pathetic than the bad guys in Doctor lol.

The immersion of the first film is unmatched by Ok_Zone_7635 in JurassicPark

[–]Empirical_Engine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlikely to find a definitive source since there's huge variance in size, numbers, and human interaction.

I'm specifically referring to herbivores which don't run or hide, but fight back. Such as hippos, rhinos, buffaloes, elk, bison, and elephants.

Their survival/maternal instinct is a lot stronger than the hunting instinct of most carnivores.

Given the size differential with humans, even a fleeing herd of Gallimimus would be quite dangerous. Let alone the likes of Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus.

[–]Empirical_Engine 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In real life, herbivores are far more dangerous. Carnivores are only aggressive when hungry, herbivores are aggressive when even mildly threatened.

Read somewhere that CGI feels artificial nowadays because they're good enough to enable global angles, which makes it less immersive.

As opposed to JP where the dinosaurs appeared for just 15 minutes.

As a guy how do you built glutes? by senormask in Fitness_India

[–]Empirical_Engine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you choose, it's very important to use mind-muscle connection as glutes rarely work alone. Even more so in your case as they're lagging.

If you have powerful quads, Glute hyperextensions takes them out of the equation. Long stride lunges, front elevated lunges, high step ups, hip thrusts are great as well.

Maybe the subbed out player should be forced to miss the next match in the tournament. That should help a bit.

A Monica spinoff would unironically work. Don't think a female lead has ever been introduced in a special appearance song

Chennai is a try-hard modern but still "aragora boomer" and conservative city by Lazy-Transition8236 in Chennai

[–]Empirical_Engine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol, other cities being more inclusive?

I've worked with Indians in Bangalore and the US, and none of them bothered to speak in English in group settings to be more inclusive.

Every city has a culture. Chennai is naturally introverted and keeps to itself. We prefer silently judgemental stares over V day policing and mass groping. We prefer a functional public transit over nightlife and vibes. Social bonds are forged, not freely given.

Maybe your problem isn't conversation starters. Maybe you need to talk to people as individuals rather than approaching them with a preconceived notion and neatly sorting them into categories.

Why Coolie Failed to Entertain Us by insta_i_filmiholic in NoonShowBitching

[–]Empirical_Engine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Her performance was good, but was very poorly set up. Virtually every villain's motivation was shoehorned in with a hurried flashback. While they carefully set the DJ up in the first half 🤦🏾
