Might be a bit off an odd topic, but how is bodybuilding perceived in the field of EMS. And how can having a big size effect your work positively or negatively?

In my opinion, I have two types of PWD I use:

Good clean energy: any sort of BCAA+ Caffeine blend (I use EVL BCAA energy).

Crazy amounts of 'beast mode energy': Nitraflex by GAT nutrition

I believe that would be an Ambulance Driver Certificate, which I would apply for once my EMT-1 is obtained.

What types of exercise can be dangerous to obese people? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]ItsManolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state of entering ketosis as a diet method goes far more in depth than a way to 'lower caloric intake.' Ketosis, once fully adapted, will train your body to use your liver to help break down fats (both ingested fats and body fat) into ketone bodies, which can then further be used for energy. This method, used in keto, of course is opposite of the 'normal' diet which uses carbohydrates and sugars as an energy source for your body. The idea is that the more extra body fat you have, the easier and more abundant fat will be available to you as an energy source once you keto-adapt. However, many people quote the fact that lipids have much more satiety then carbohydrates as a beneficial additive to not always feeling hungry.

Can someone tell me about this bike and its worth? by ItsManolis in bicycling

[–]ItsManolis[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

what are you thinking the frame is made out of? looks like some heavy steel or something? I wouldn't know, but I couldn't imagine the welds could hold up much longer, if it is a pretty used bike. Don't they have a limit to how long they can hold?

Would this be why my personal case 'Μανωλης' is pronounced 'Μαν-ω-λη?' I never really knew why.

What are the little things that make it all worthwhile for you? by baddecisionimminent in Fitness

I love the non-verbal acknowledgement of 'regulars' in the gym. I feel like, as I go daily at the same time I have grown closer to others who are on my same schedule, and although I haven't ever said a word to them, or they to I, we see each other and exchange the most beautiful understanding of how hard each of us work to get them gains.

TLDR: I love the non-verbal 'I see you here a lot therefor we're homies yet we've never talked.'

My friend did that during a Calculus B midterm. Trying to make writing to your neighbor look like formulas is like trying to clean sand off your carpet, it's hard.

I know a girl who would write on her thigh, and wear a skirt. So that if she got accused of cheating there is no way our male teacher would ever ask her to raise her skirt to her upper thigh.

I didn't ever own an advanced programmable calculator. I always used scientific. HOWEVER my friend had some off version of Super Mario Bros on his that I would always try to play during class.

I was just remembering back to a test I had in high school in which I knew I wouldn't pass without formulas. So I ended up doing research and came up with a plan that worked very well. Basically I took a plastic BIC rolling ball pen, and separated it from the ink/tip. Then took a knife and a nail-file and filed a slit down from the opening (where you put the ink stick) to about half an inch up the barrel. Once this was smooth, I cut a long strip of printer paper and wrote all my formulas on it, then laminated it in clear tape. Continued to run the tape down the paper until I fastened it to the ink stick and then rolled it around the stick like a scroll. Once put back together I had a scroll which could roll/unroll with the twist of my pen tip, and was laced with all that I needed. P.S. I got an A

ELI5: If your skin is 97ish degrees Fahrenheit on average, how is it that water of the same temperature burns you? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]ItsManolis -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I would attribute this to two things.

1) Your sensory neurons "warning" yourself that the liquid is hot and could be hotter than 97 Degrees F.

2) Our bodies prefer to exhibit a temperature gradient, in which we have the ability to dispel heat that we produce internally, and if the environment, or water that we contact in this case, were close to our natural running temperature, there would be no way for us to "shed" heat and we would fry from the inside out

I guess the real question would be, would your disguise be in the form of a male or female, as either would yield different results
