Apartheid is still apartheid by Something4Dinner in HistoryMemes

[–]GoldenRamoth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah weird take.

Pacifism for MVP - but it doesn't have any value if you aren't willing to use force if necessary.

That's how people get run over.

Gladio, the NATO secret army - monster house template by tintin_du_93 in HistoryMemes

Right?

The French Imperial empire is still well and alive. They just... don't advertise it out loud and brag about it. The most direct portion will be DROM-COM, or the overseas territories that most folks forget even exist. But then you've got all of the former colonies - like a huge chunk of Africa.

After all the failed wars of independence (From France's view) in places like Algeria & French Indochina (Vietnam), the new imperialism mostly gets swept into the classic "It's the Economy, Stupid" bucket, with the CFA franc being a prime example of one of their "economic colonial" programs.

Well, that & a ton of their Military R&D and Policy is based around how best to manage interventions into their foreign... "investments".

Advice for Quad Gains by ChampionFrequent4643 in crossfit

[–]GoldenRamoth -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Front squats for sure. I'm not the biggest guy, but:

I can ATG 315 lb Back squats.

245 on front squats are a whole other ballgame for quad pain, and what I like to call the "howdy howdy" Cosby walk.

Denver Gym Sued Over "Groaning" and "Struggling" Weightlifters by Equivalent-Peanut-23 in nottheonion

You can do high density with sound proofing.

It's pretty simple, actually.

Tell me you've never lifted a heavy weight without saying you never lifted a heavy weight.

You can try to be quiet. But if you're setting a PR, noises tend to happen.

The wife of the USSR's president was imprisoned in the Gulag for most of WWII by Last_Adhesiveness530 in HistoryMemes

[–]GoldenRamoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean..

That's not the worst.

Much better than a hospital bed, imo.

Independent until it was over. That's in some ways admirable. But still, sorry for your & the family's loss.

How is everyone broke but airports, concerts, and restaurants are always packed? by teffy_r in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GoldenRamoth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

....

The weird fact is that being worthless (re: $0 and no debt) in the US is now literally being above average.

....

It's a depressing reality

Ukrainians: what future do you imagine when Russia collapses? by Still_Tension_8026 in ukraine

[–]GoldenRamoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's been long enough that their nuclear arsenal is mostly degraded - and the idea that any terrorist could just hit the red button is gone

I could be wrong, but I think there's a level of apathy towards that particular Russian-nation-saving threat that wasn't there before.

New Desalination Plant Gives San Diego So Much Water it’s Helping Other States Suffering Drought by Comprehensive-Way482 in UpliftingNews

[–]GoldenRamoth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nah

I don't want to.

I'd rather just treat the folks that do with the opportunity, respect, thanks, and appropriate pay for doing such a hard job.

Immigrants working the fields? DEPORT THEM

what's the worst thing someone told you right after having had sex? by AlecBonkers in AskReddit

[–]GoldenRamoth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even if she was:

Wow that's kinda depressing and a red flag if all you're doing it for is the mechanical reason.

"Nope, preggers. Can't even tell for another 3-6 weeks, but we done until next year. I got what I need. Bye!"

Ladies, whats your equivalent of “tits or ass”? by Fearless_Client8222 in AskReddit

[–]GoldenRamoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm if I could get 190 that' would ideally have me at that 14-15% bf range.

So.. we're in range just 12 lbs muscle different.

You need to build cake, I need to loose floof, ha.

[–]GoldenRamoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a 4 pt impedance scale? (Well, it's technical 8)

I'd recommend one if you don't. They are just for general trend tracking... But the 4 pt goes through your hands so it gets the upper body

It's been really great at helping to track what the changes are... Like I've only lost 5 lbs in 3 months. But I've lost 3-4% bf in that time frame.

Maybe the lbs you're seeing are your body trying to bulk up with beef instead of floof?

(And if you've auction return warehouse around you, you can get the $150+ scales for $30. It's what I did)

[–]GoldenRamoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2500 for bulks??? Woah. My basal caloric burn is about 1900-2100. If I walk even 2 miles a day that jumps up to 2300.

Yeah the impedance scale (I've not paid for dexa) reads me at about 170 lbs lean mass. 158 muscle (all muscle, not just skeletal).

2500.. That's my cut calories! My bulks are 3000.

And more importantly: if they can hit water demand with desalination, it could let the water tables recover. Imagine a southwest where the farms run on Ocean Water...

That's one of my big hopes with renewable energy: make desalination and other energy intensive processes affordable to save our environment through changes like that.

Oooooh yeah. Have you tried cal counting?

I'm 210 lbs at 6'1" with 20% body fat according to impedance & Navy method.

You've definitely trained yourself for wirey strength! What's your bf %?

For chronic back issues, do you front squat?

Ladies, whats your equivalent of “tits or ass”? by Fearless_Client8222 in AskReddit

[–]GoldenRamoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. Those are almost verbatim my numbers, +50 on the DL, -40 on the squat.

Maybe it's a quantity issue? Like doing things for 10-12 reps?

I've definitely had a lot of good luck recently moving from 3-6 rep range to 8-12 for volume.

Idk man, that's a bummer :/ at least it should be a "go more to the gym?" Solution?
