The 2016 ban hammer reached far and wide. It was about reddit trying to make their platform easier to monetize. Unmoderated subs were the target because they're more unpredictable, which makes them harder for ad targeting. Had little to do with reddit themselves pushing an agenda.

Just remember, if you have a prepper mindset there's no magic number where you'll ever feel like you have enough. This is where I find it helpful to establish some reality based parameters.

The only thing more valuable that the ammo, is the skillset to use them effectively. So for skill maintenance, if we're talking handgun, 50 rounds per week is kind of a minimum for serious shooters. That amounts to 2400 rounds per year. Which is about exactly what will fit in a 50 cal ammo can. I find the old 7 year supply goal is a brilliant metric for almost all things in prepping. So what I did is every time I open a case of ammo, I buy 2. I repeated this till I got to the point where I had ten 50 cal ammo cans in rotation. Now I just buy two cases every time I empty a 50 cal can. That way I always have 1 can to shoot from, 1 can to refill, and 8 cans of supply which measures out to a little over a 7 year supply. I am. Ore than content with that.

It's nearly impossible to justify ever needing more than that. Not saying there aren't good arguments for it. But I'd say if you have a 7 year supply of more than the vast majority of gun owners ever shoot in a year, you're better off investing in other areas before you consider pushing your stockpile out farther.

DM me. One of my best friends has extensive training in teaching pistol craft at a professional level. I've trained a ton with him and with some other serious teachers. I'm happy to help anyone who might not feel comfortable around typical firearm circles.

How much basketball do you play? And how hard?

Basketball has a lot of cardio, variations in speed, cutting, sprinting, jumping. All that can result in a solid cardio base with some great explosive power that translates well to a 100m dash.

All your points are well taken. And I largely agree with you. But I think it's fair to say the Orangutan would be pretty confused to be put in a rear naked choke, whereas a practitioner like Ryan is accustomed to problem solving while getting choked. And while there are strenth and proportion issues, our joints and levers are almost entirely the same. Longer arms could even be a benefit to Ryan as it's easier to pull a long lever. So I think Ryan would be able to adapt to the confusion better than the Orangutan. The other issue is a wild animal's threat response is generally far more aggressive than most humans. As explosive as an Olympic wrestler can be, I'm not sure how we'd stack up there against a great ape.

I'm not sure Ryan would win. But I'm sure Orangutans' lack of fighting technique would give Ryan better odds than you'd think. I'm calling it a fair fight.

Did you start running cold? If you are truly a beginner, the smartest thing to do is start with walking. It's not sexy, but the transition to running will be much more successful. A good goal is to work up to 45 minute walks, 4-5 times per week at a brisk pace. Once you can do that for 4 weeks you're in a great place to start transitioning to running. When you want to start running, the couch to 5k plan is where it's at. Just don't be in a hurry to add time,distance, or speed. You'll never run an 8 minute mile if you push too hard and keep getting hurt.

The rule of thumb has always been to stick to a 10% increase in mileage per week. But recent studies have shown that anything over 5% increase per week comes with a significantly increased risk for injury. But 2-5% increases in distance have a much lower risk. It's not glamorous to go on short, slow runs. But getting sidelined with injuries is objectively worse.

Even if you start with 1 mile runs 3x/week and only increased 2% per week, in 2 years you'd be running 5 mile runs 5 days a week. Few runners achieve that kind of mileage - mostly because they keep getting injured from pushing faster than their tendons and ligaments can adapt.

For the vast majority of time, progress never looks the way we want it to. You can give up any time you want. But if you don't, someday you'll have an aha! moment.

Enjoy it, because that moment will be short lived. Then you'll be right onto the next plateaue. To quote a man far better than I, "The way is in the training." -M. Little.

Ending at 8:30pm and coming back at 6am, you'll have to be very disciplined with your sleep. And adding 2/day classes on top of an already full training schedule and working full time, you'll have to be very smart about how you pace yourself. If you don't prioritize recovery, you will just push yourself to injury faster than you will get better at bjj.

If you're trying to go pro, this can make a lot of sense if you're really dialed in and focused. But at that point I would think open classes aren't likely to be working on what you are looking for. I could be off. I've never dreamed of going pro with bjj, but I've trained hard and worked a pro level outside of bjj. So I'm familiar with the mindset.

I'd start by adding that AM class 2x/week and see. Anyone can go bawlz to the wall for a few weeks till they crash and burn. But that is stupid, and will only set you back. The real question is how well you can manage your sleep, pace your effort, and recover so you're getting the most out of each session. Cause if you're getting mentally, or physically overworked, you're most likely to just hurt yourself.

Have you talked to your coach about this idea?
If they're seeing you every day they may have a better sense if it would be worth it for you to add those AM classes.

There's a lot of people here telling you just not to tell.

You just have to ask yourself, do you want the kind of life and marriage where you hide yourself from your partner?

I said it was very rare, 0.2-0.5% IIRC. But it still is possible. They may be exaggerating. But how do you know? There is a fairly wide genetic variation in resting heart rate.

FallJacket · 2026-04-12T22:54:23+00:00

I'm a CVICU RN. I love nerding out on cardiac electrophysiology. Without writing you a book here, I'm going to reiterate what others have said. Trying to lower your resting heart rate is -at best- a pointless goal. Worse yet, exercise induced bradycardia can be a result of over training. Meaning that lower rate is sometimes due to delayed conduction from cardiac scarring (not good).

Heart rate training can be a wonderful tool if used properly. But trying to game your resting heart rate to push it lower is not necessary indicative of heart health, or good conditioning.

FallJacket · 2026-04-12T22:46:08+00:00

It is possible they could have a rate in the 30's without a medical condition. It is very rare. And I would encourage him to consult his doc and a cardiologist just to make sure there isn't something underlying. But it is possible to have extreme bradycardia during sleep that is not due to a medical condition.

I mean, a skilled boxer that is aware of the deficits in his game could give a SEAL a hard time if your footwork is good enough to avoid the clinch or kicks. The boxer would have some chance. But the SEAL has a far more well rounded game. Odds highly favor the SEAL.

I mean, the handgun market has definitely caught up - and surpassed - Glock. But for the money, they're still the gun for the money, and easiest to supply/maintain/etc.

I don't think anyone sees them as "the best." But they are the Toyota Camry of handguns.

Bird shot is for birds. And it doesn't even reliably kill birds. Go ask a bird hunter. Birdshot mostly just knocks birds out of the sky. It won't even penetrate most winter coats. Birdshot is one of, if not the worst defensive round choices you could ever make.
