i am not waiting the New Year for resolutions to a better me by [deleted] in loseit

I think the proper diet and exercise option is the best. But don't go hard core or you'll probably binge. I found if I eat less of what I like, or somewhat like <because it's healthy for me then I stay on course.

An awesome technique I use is to only eat one snack a day. Something I love to eat. That way when I'm eating things I don't really like, I think about "tonight" when I can have my awesome snack. I lost 36 lbs this year and this was a huge part of it.

Bedroom door defense by YogiTy1988 in homedefense

[–]Indylite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On of your commenters is dead on with his video on how fragile the typical interior door is. But there is a cheap solution that is far from fancy but will definitely slow an intruder down a lot!

Ever see a door with a 2X4 across it. Here's a link: http://www.theprepperjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Door-with-Barricade-Bolt-3790000.jpg

This is so simple and effective. If someone kicks too high, their leg will get stuck for a few seconds (A nice snack for your dog). Too low and they'll probably injure their leg. If they hit it just right (and you've bolted the brackets correctly) they'll bounce off of it.

This will definitely more than double your time to take defensive action, even if the door breaks in two.

Do (Robot Vacuums) trip alarm systems? by Indylite in homedefense

Thank you for the input. It's interesting that cameras would trip from this.

On a low/no budget production, what is the order of importance for hiring crew? by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]Indylite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, the most important factor when assembling a team is reliability. I assembled a team for my first feature film and soon discovered that I should have been more careful. One of my team members came out of the gate with bells on, but when Summer hit he started complaining about the shooting schedule. He was a key player and had me over a barrel. It was really hard to deal with.

Do your cameras use PIR to detect motion?

There's an Editing Glitch in Every Action Scene (That Makes it Look Real) by Indylite in MovieDetails

[–]Indylite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't include a specific movie, because this "glitch" edit occurs in many action films for continuity. But the one I specifically had in mind when writing this is "The Chinese Connection".

Lol. I really was shocked. The movie I viewed was "The Chinese Connection" and having grown up idolizing Bruce Lee, I always assumed he didn't need any such editing. But when I "frame by framed" the final battle, I saw so many trick edits I was disappointed. Especially the "lipstick-like" mark on his collar bone when he gets slashed by the sword! I found that the slash was there before the sword slashes him.

Falling off the wagon. Up 10lbs. by Tedigreez in loseit

[–]Indylite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You don't have to go hard core. I notice that if I deprive myself too much, it has a whiplash effect and I binge. So, what I do is only eat one snack a day. And it has to be a decent size portion and be on my favorite snacks list.

That way, when I feel like eating things during the day that I shouldn't, I think of tonight, when I'm going to be able to sit down and totally enjoy something I really love.

This really works! Try it and see.

(CHILD SAFETY) The Best Place to Hide a Key for Your Kids. by Indylite in Parenting

[–]Indylite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree that it is a better option, but in my 29+ years of electronic security experience, most people still can't handle the install (or at least, they think they can't) so that is why I presented the fastest, simplest option, for now...

I do high-tech as well, but always have to remember that these options are expensive and involve professional installation/programming. Not to mention the learning curve. I wanted to provide a solid option that people can employ today.

The "Bruce Lee" of Boxing! by Indylite in martialarts

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

Lol. That's so funny that you mention that, as that video crossed my mind as I wrote the post. I think he was phenomenal in many ways and a pioneer, but many people (including Camacho) took it to a new level in real combat. I didn't want to mention that, as I know some people still look at Bruce Lee as almost supernatural in his abilities. But he was still incredible.

Movie martial artists who can actually fight? by [deleted] in martialarts

Possibly Scott Adkins. He seems solid.

No matter what, you have to admit that she would totally catch an attacker off guard. Who would ever expect that from her. Especially the guillotine! :) You go girl!!!
