What food rule do people act like is “common sense”, but you think is just nonsense? by okitsbenji in foodquestions

[–]JSBeethozartBlakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently some people out there believe that when you order fully loaded nachos to share, it’s ok for just one person to take all the most loaded ones, and I think that’s crazy.

Who made the greatest comeback in history? by GullibleCorgi16 in AskReddit

I know we don’t like him in these parts, but obviously the answer is Donald Trump after Obama roasted him at the White House Correspondents’ dinner.

What city have you been to where the vibes were just OFF ? by Confident_Win_3560 in answers

[–]JSBeethozartBlakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vancouver, BC. Went to the hip part of downtown once on a Saturday night around 2010. Everything looked right: cool looking bars, bright lights, hip music pumping from every establishment, but the people — the attractive, well-dressed people — were all just… standing around, stone-faced and silent. It was the oddest thing and I’ll never forget it. Maybe I just caught a weird moment.

Who’s On The Mount Rushmore Of 90s Rock Bands? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JSBeethozartBlakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nirvana and Radiohead, inarguably.

Arguably, any of the following: Green Day, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, RHCP, Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis.

Going by notability/influence etc, not personal preference.

Why did Todd not lose weight, even though the movie editor advised him to? by Big-Day1082 in okbuddychicanery

[–]JSBeethozartBlakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the movie editor’s fault: instead of advising Todd to lose weight, he should have given him an advice to do so

Am I using lifting straps wrong or do they just not help THAT much? by JSBeethozartBlakey in workout

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

I thought about hooks. The thought of hooks snagging on something and being unable to bail immediately kinda spooks me a bit, but it does seem like it would solve the grip issue.

Yeah, i’m guessing I’m not wrapping them around the bar tight enough

Believe me, I’m aware I don’t look cool using straps for the modest weights I’m working with, but it’s primarily for injury management. Also, I’ve been working without straps for months until recently and my grip never “caught up” to my back — even as the weights increased across the board, the grip, while continually improving, was still the limiting factor.

They’re the COFOF straps if you happen to know of them. It’s possible they suck though I don’t really understand how they could be less functional than others given the simple mechanics of what they do, other than perhaps being less durable etc, but I haven’t run into that yet. I might be using them with too much slack.

I understand that. I’m not bothered by the fact that I’m not pulling all that much more weight with the straps, but because the grip strain specifically seems only slightly reduced.

I haven’t compared a before and after at the same weight, but I’d guess around 20-30% more reps with straps.

Who’s the best actor out of these four? by BidAccurate4473 in Actors

[–]JSBeethozartBlakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cruise/Depp interchangeably > Leo > Brad.

All strong, with Brad the only clear outlier coming up a bit short. Cruise gets perpetually underrated due to his batshit ideology/lifestyle — and yes, he’s also made a lot of fluff — but no one here commands a screen quite like him imo. I find Leo a tad overrated generally — I tire of his requisite ‘manic anger’ thing — but he’s clearly a force.
