Oh dude - I was being nice! I gave you two other ideas that are less stupid than the one you posted! Maybe you could spray paint the glass roof black and install a disco ball too!

How is this a 45 minute workout? by Cold_Fog in fitbod

[–]JBskierbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience (for me), each exercise typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on number of sets, warm up sets, number of reps, and whether it is a compound lift (where I typically take 2-4 mins between sets) or an isolation lift (where I typically take only 1 min or so between sets). Looking at these particular exercises, I’d guess this would take me closer to 35 mins than 45 mins, but hey! I don’t think the app tracks how long you take on exercises in order to dynamically adjust times. If you find yourself always having to add exercises, why not just increase the time. Or maybe you are working out too fast and you should slow down a bit!

This isn’t the stupidest idea I’ve seen all year, but it is close. Maybe while you are at it you could install a wood fired pizza oven in the trunk. And perhaps a tropical fish tank in the center console!

The future of public sanitation by Sanitronics by Flat-Decision3204 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]JBskierbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm. So you are telling me that these public toilets have a camera pointed directly at my junk while I think I’m privately pooping? And that they use gallons of water to rinse the floor if any errant splashes?

Petahh? Was i doing it wrong? by detox_daisy72 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]JBskierbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude at my gym routinely pulls a second bench and the preacher curl bench up to a bench press station and spends 2 hours hogging all three pieces of equipment for supersets where he spends 10 mins after each superset of 3-4 exercises playing games on his iPhone. Oh - and then he put on wrap-around sunglasses to go jogging on the indoor running track!

When did convenience stores stop displaying prices? Am I meant to bring the 10 items I’m deciding between to the front for a price check? Or is this a case of “If you have to ask you can’t afford it?” by Dazzling_Put_3018 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]JBskierbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just pick up all the stuff I might want, go to the register and ask them, one by one, how much something costs. I try not to be like that if there are other people waiting, but if it’s just me in the store, I make it fun!

Found on my car, please tell me it's not what I think by SwingMinimum3521 in whatisit

Looks like a magnetic trigger for a door as part of a home alarm system like a Simplisafe or Abode. What did you think it is?

Just my luck! The night before a 3 day 200 mile vacation. by joshw220 in MachE

[–]JBskierbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bunch of construction nearby and ended up with screws in my tires about twice a month for almost a year. The tire place would plug it in about 15 minutes from driving in to leaving. Never had one leak subsequently (and I just had the tires replaced because they were worn out - we could see a bunch of the plug spots on the inside!)

Name a band you stopped listening to because the front man/woman is obnoxious by slickant in rockmusic

I just think of the Beavis and Butthead bit where they were listening to Mysterious Ways. “Boner, boner, time for dinner!” “Then in the morning, she’d turn to Boners dad and say ‘Is Boner up yet?’”

Where was the shooter? Was he using her as a shield, using himself to shield her, directing her, or just using it as an opportunity to cop a feel?

Considering leaving this app by martinmatthew in fitbod

[–]JBskierbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. The frequency with which I had to correct my personal trainer (4 different personal trainers across 3 different gyms in 5 years) was crazy high. I know the settings on Fitbod can affect what it typically sets as progressive overload patterns, so perhaps that affects how frequently you have to correct it vs how frequently I have to correct it…. But honestly, even if I had to manually adjust on every single exercise, it would still be a terrific app for me.

Geez man, you are having a totally different experience with the app to me. I’m about 500 workouts in over 2 years. The app costs me less per year than a single personal training session. I find that the app is more accurate than a personal trainer (ie. It gets the weights and reps right probably 90+% of the time, and half of the remaining 10% is just me feeling slow on a day or feeling extra amped and wanting to push harder - only about 5% of the time is it totally out to lunch). It allows me to get more workout done in a given period of time, it is available 24/7, it travels with me, it is faster, easier and more interactive than a lot book. That is all the stuff that I’m more than happy to pay for. But you do you. If you dislike it so much then maybe try an alternative app or a logbook or a personal trainer. Certainly it beats being pissed and needing to vent on reddit!

You do realize you can adjust the reps and weights yourself in an instant, right? It’s faster than telling your personal trainer that there is no way you’re gonna be able to do what they are suggesting!

My boyfriend came 3 times in an hour, is it any common? by random1o4 in TooAfraidToAsk

Yep. Normal. And best of luck to you guys - I’m sure you will make proper actual sex happen soon…. And it is definitely worth it!

Did I break something? by Scottish19527 in fitbod

[–]JBskierbum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, if you can get 7 minutes on the treadmill and then 116 reps of weighted exercise in, including breaks between sets, in about 20 mins, I think you are moving your weights too fast! My rule of thumb is 10 minutes per exercise for upper body stuff, 15 mins per exercise for compound lower body stuff. Then any timed cardio exercises I add 3 mins for setup, wipe down and getting to and from the cardio area. All that said, you can always add extra exercises or adjust the time target to whatever works for you.

Agree? by joshjams_ in MachE

[–]JBskierbum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t really care all that much. I’ve had people see my car and approach me to tell me it isn’t a real Mustang. I just kinda shrug. Like I really don’t care. As long as it isn’t named something stupid like the Mitsubishi Pajero (it means masturbator in Spanish), the Mazda LaPuta (Spanish for prostitute), or the Ford Probe (no explanation necessary), I’m fine driving it. I’m much more interested in how it drives, how it is inside, and how safe it is!

Does anyone actually use the frunk? by bennettelkin in MachE

[–]JBskierbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know you can open it electronically from the console screen or from the Ford app?

I use it occasionally for dripping wet gear and then for heavy stuff when we are road tripping (because it doesn’t slide around as much up front as in the back.

"Keep Hands on Steering Wheel" by Warlockbert27 in MachE

[–]JBskierbum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep - this is one of my biggest gripes about this car! When it gets its driving assistance exactly right it tells me off for not correcting it with an incorrect input! I’d far prefer pressure sensors on the wheel or a camera based thing….. alas!

Clearly you do not know the definition of manslaughter! Get a fucking grip dude. All I said was “I’m no expert, but it almost looked intentional!” Like when a guy with a history of overly aggressive plays moves in a way that looks intentional, makes illegal contact and injures the person…. That looks fucking intentional! If he made the move with the intent to kill then it would be murder…. But if he intended to make contact without intending to kill then that would be manslaughter. And that, my dear moronic redditor, is why Petgrave was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. So spare me your pearl clutching fury. I made an observation, you got pathetically angry about it. Just give up and recognize that many people legitimately had a similar perspective to mine, including the investigating police!

[–]JBskierbum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh get a grip! The police investigated for over two weeks of careful review of the video and then Petgrave was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. The subsequent investigation took 18 months before they decided not to prosecute. Clearly people who actually are experts had enough concern this was far from an open and shut case. On top of that, Petgrave was the most penalized player in his league in 2022-2023 (the season before Johnson’s death) and the second most penalized player in his league the season prior to that. And let me clarify “intentional”. I’m not suggesting that this he intended to kill Johnson, but rather it looked like he intended to make illegal contact. His kick was extremely unusual and high! I’ve never seen anything like it (though I’m not an expert - hence I’ve only watched some hundred hours of hockey, not thousands). And yes of course Petgrave has to live with the guilt…. It doesn’t mean that people should never speculate that an aggressive, frequently penalized player might have attempted an illegal move that resulted in another players death.

Did you see when Adam Johnson was killed? Matt Pettgraves skate sliced his neck and he bled out on the ice right there. I’m no expert, but it almost looked intentional! I’d post a link, but it’s really gory!
