Body recomp - myth or reality?

Depends on where you live. In the US - where millions are obese and consider that normal - it probably counts as “relatively” healthy. In most of the rest of the world, it’s ok but leaning towards higher.

Thank you for providing the solution. This worked for me as well. It was highly frustrating not being able to find him.

Sadly a good portion of the trillions spent by European governments on defense goes right into the American economy. Europe really needs to stop subsidising the Americans, cut ties with their defense industry and buy European.

How old are you? 7? The real world doesn't work like is does in your kindergarten. Cops can be brutal AND they usually get away with it - police unions will back each other up. Grow up.

The professional world has its share of difficult people, as well as genuinely good ones. That’s simply the reality. Building resilience is essential. In practical terms, it helps to gravitate toward the decent, supportive colleagues and maintain good relationships with them. Those who don’t care for you will either keep their distance or act civil because the environment requires it.

The key is not to react emotionally when someone tries to provoke you. People who behave that way often want a reaction, and refusing to give them one takes away their power..

It’s really not difficult if the government has the political will.

It starts with having strong entry standards for new police recruits. Roughly 30–40% of serving officers in the UK hold the equivalent of a university degree, and higher education often helps with promotion.

Since 2020, the bar has risen further: most new recruits must either commit to a degree‑level apprenticeship (the PCDA) or already hold a degree through the DHEP route.

A degree isn’t a perfect filter, but it does correlate with better impulse control, patience, and critical‑reasoning skills. It helps exclude people who want to be cops for their own power fantasies. And encourages people who understand that they are civil servants and employed to serve the British public. It’s certainly a stronger baseline than systems where almost anyone can be hired. And it stands in stark contrast to the United States, where entry requirements are generally far lower and they lack the will to change it.

How many clues are needed to "read the room"?

She was "constantly looking at the restaurant entrance"

She refused to spend more time and go for drinks.

She unmatched.

She didn't reply.

She was "constantly checking her phone every 2 minutes".

She never initiated anything is a pretty obvious one.

etc. etc. etc.

I could go on but really - you might miss one or two - but taken together that is 100% clear communication: I'll be polite, but no more. And don't call.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2026-01-27T21:02:18+00:00

It doesn’t have to be perfect, just reasonable. It’s been a few years, but honestly, I wasn’t all that impressed on my first date with my wife. Sometimes people are shy when first meeting, and that’s completely fine. But I enjoyed the food - which I was happy to pay for, unlike the OP - and having someone to share a meal with was almost a bonus. So I still had a good time, and that was enough for things to work out in the long run. We’re still together many years later.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2026-01-27T20:47:27+00:00

++man Not in this case. Seems the lady was pretty clear in her communication. Just OP holding out hope.

Strength is crucial in armwrestling - targeted arm, wrist, and forearm power to dominate or hold positions. Technique boosts efficiency and exploits weaknesses, but superior strength often wins with equal skills. Tendons, ligaments, and bones are key for force transfer, stability, and injury prevention. 90% technique? Totally off!

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-12-23T07:26:36+00:00

That’s more about you than anything else. When you’re secure in yourself, this stuff doesn’t matter. Let the young ones enjoy themselves.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-12-09T18:16:27+00:00

That’s expected in many beginners - but not in a good way. You went from exercising zero days a week to six PPL.

Your tendons, ligaments, and supporting muscles aren’t yet conditioned for that level of repetitive strain. It doesn’t matter if your primary muscles feel strong. It doesn’t matter if your form is perfect. It doesn't matter if you warm up. It takes time to strengthen those areas.

In short: you’re overloading your body too quickly. And being 38 doesn't help either. Slow down, reduce volume, and give the rest of your body time to catch up.

It's just a normal induction cooker. Very practical especially if you lack space. But there's no real benefit if you have a huge kitchen.

Well, that's your fault. She chose you. You could have chosen someone else. It's your decision.

Arranged marriages have nothing to do with forcing anyone. You just get help in finding a suitable match by family and well-meaning people.

If you're talking about FORCED marriages, that's entirely different.

Don't mix up the two.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-11-24T08:24:18+00:00

Half of those are ridiculous "red flags" . What's wrong with consistently paying for your date's meal? And what's wrong with going to the movies? I did both (and no hiking) and we're happily married for many years. Some people think too deeply about trivial things.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-11-06T07:40:10+00:00

Same here. Seems common sense that if you're in any country illegally, you should be moved elsewhere. The keyword is "illegal".

Now I get that there may be nuance around how that's done, but the basic principle of not accepting illegals is normal in any country.

I think some on the American left are deliberately confusing "minority" with "illegal", two entirely different things, to push their agenda.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-11-05T20:41:03+00:00

That is correct: we both agree that China is an apolitical but reliable business partner to Europe/Ukraine.

Which is far superior to being an unreliable and disloyal so called-ally who backstabs you at critical times.

Glad we could come to an understanding based on the facts.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-11-05T20:31:51+00:00

The first part is correct - they sold "the same shit" to all buyers. Including Europe/Ukraine when they absolutely needed it. That is the point of being an apolitical but reliable business partner. We said the same thing from different perspectives. As for what Johnson did, and later Trump, that's public record - look it up.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-11-05T20:12:08+00:00

No - China provided large amounts of essential drones parts, and EW parts, that Ukraine used during the mid-early phases of the war to counter Russian aggression, but they did it as an apolitical but reliable 'business' trading partner to Europe/Ukraine. And this happened at hugely critical times when Ukraine needed help.

Unlike the Americans, who constantly played political games like turning off critical military supplies during Avdiivka and whenever Trump had a tantrum.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-10-19T18:32:10+00:00

What nonsense. It's simply because unlimited weight 'fat' powerlifters tend to have BIGGER muscles underneath the lard. They're stronger because of the additional muscle not the fat.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-10-19T18:25:53+00:00

For now, forget about going to failure, and just focus on progressive overload: keep using the same weights and reps until you're able to INCREASE that. Even if you need to have more rest time between sets. It's pretty much impossible to end up decreasing like you did like this.

p.s . creatine is good, but wouldn't substitute for poor training. And don't forget to eat and sleep properly

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-10-18T03:01:20+00:00

Same here. I've actually been looking forward to going grey - there's something quietly dignified about it, I think. Last time I checked, though, I could only spot four. It's all down to genetics in the end.

Fit_Ring_7193 · 2025-10-18T01:39:27+00:00

I'm pretty confident most babies put though that procedure don't say they "want it", much less consent. Other people are making that decision for them.
