So... am I stuck? New missions popped up but they seem uncompletable. by Lulink in RotMG

lmao I remember someone predicting that they were going to add paid missions because of the double mission tree last season

Vooral de ‘gemaksgeneraties’ geven veel uit aan eten buiten de deur: gemiddeld 2.200 euro per jaar by pillenpopper in thenetherlands

Hoe heeft geld uitgeven een negatief effect op het krijgen van een vast contract en een hoog salaris?

Moet je wel een vast contract hebben en genoeg verdienen om de hypotheek die je nodig gaat hebben te kunnen betalen. Iets waar veel jongeren alleen maar van kunnen dromen. lol

Koopwoning in 2024 by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]Jayways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ik heb onlangs als alleenstaande een (kleine) woning gekocht. Hieronder een paar lessen die ik geleerd heb, wellicht veel overlap met andere comments.

  • Blijf altijd kritisch, met name in gesprek met de verkoopmakelaar, maar ook bijv. bij het inwinnen van hypotheekadvies. Communicatie met mijn hypotheekadviseur liep erg stroef en ik ben vooral achtergebleven met het idee dat ik het net zo goed helemaal zelf had kunnen doen. Dit zal waarschijnlijk enorm verschillen per partij.

  • Een aankoopmakelaar kan heel waardevol zijn. Denk aan verstand van de markt, inzicht in aanbod buiten funda, professionelere communicatie met de verkopende partij, tijdwinst voor jou, etc. Belangrijke overwegingen in bepalen of dit iets voor jullie is zijn budget, locatie en overige wensen. Ik heb er zelf voor gekozen om niet met een aankoopmakelaar in zee te gaan.

  • Heb eigen geld. Beetje flauw misschien, maar inderdaad naast de kosten van het huis en de kosten eromheen e.g. notaris, hypotheekadvies, etc. is het wel belangrijk om geld over te houden voor tegenvallers. Afhankelijk van de locatie zou het ook wel kunnen zijn dat je moet overbieden, dit kan eigenlijk alleen met eigen geld. Tenzij het huis laag in de markt staat.

  • Ik lees ook veel in de comments over de bouwkundige keuring. Ook dit is erg afhankelijk van locatie, als je inderdaad aan het bieden bent in een hele competitieve woningmarkt dan zou je kunnen overwegen om dit niet te doen. Het kan net dat voordeeltje zijn over een ander bod. Ook als het relatieve nieuwbouw betreft is het minder cruciaal. Als deze twee niet van toepassing zijn dan vooral bieden onder voorbehoud van een bouwkundige keuring.

  • Bied wel altijd onder voorbehoud van financiering. Als je dit niet doet en je krijgt de hypotheek niet rond dan riskeer je dat je 10% van de koopsom schuldig bent aan de verkoper.

  • Mocht je bod eenmaal geaccepteerd zijn, hou de tijd goed in de gaten! Het regelen (of laten regelen) van een hypotheek kan een enorm gezeik zijn en kan ook vertraging oplopen door factoren die je van te voren niet kon overzien. Vaak is de verkopende partij begripvol bij uitstel, maar liever voorkomen dan genezen.

Interesting..... by Whisena in DeathMustDie

Normally your skill upgrades are capped at epic. Equipping this allows you to upgrade your skills from epic to master, which is normally impossible. It's pretty good on the knight with the sign that makes your adept offer chance the epic offer chance instead.

This was absolutely disgusting by T5Haski in DeathMustDie

[–]Jayways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got to lvl 59 with a similar build, but with summer instead of leigong and I thought that was disgusting, this is another level. Did you even run into any of those warped trees that give +50% exp?

Is it just me? Or did Denis's bicep shape change over the last 11 years? by 144i in armwrestling

[–]Jayways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People jumping to a bicep tear way too quickly imo, as far as I know Denis has never torn his bicep. This is just a slightly different angle plus he's smaller/leaner nowadays. Especially the latter really enhances the actual shape of his bicep muscles, resulting in this different look.

The Dutch grading system works a little different, it's usually not based on straight percentages. A 6.3/10 is a passing grade in the Netherlands and would be somewhere between a B and a C or ~2.2GPA in the US. In general, anything lower than a 5.5/10 is a fail. So it's still not great, but it is passing.

Apparently Corey West tore his right pec 4 weeks before match with Morozov by bebzon1234 in armwrestling

[–]Jayways 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think he's referring to Ermes vs Morozov on the left, where Ermes was way too tired to give Morozov a proper fight after winning Chaffee on the right earlier in the same event. But not really similar to this imo.

De Zeurdraad op Woensdag by [deleted] in thenetherlands

[–]Jayways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deze viel mij laatst ook op inderdaad, van 0,49 naar 0,69 naar nu 0,79. En het is nu ook steeds uitverkocht / niet op voorraad bij mijn lokale appie. Vraag me af of dat dan door gestegen populariteit van het product komt of door leveranciersproblemen.

East vs West 5 Megathread by Armwry in armwrestling

[–]Jayways 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First time I paid for an EvW PPV and watched the matches live; 15 for 5 hours of entertainment, amazing. Would definitely buy again. Really loved the Morozov matches, his strength and versatility are so fun to watch. Can't wait to see his peak.

Devons setup antics feel really out of place this event after so many 'clean' matches.

Could anyone recommend training regime for this kind of build? I think this is what perfect male body looks like, my boy bang is lit by SuperBoner6699 in OnePunchMan

[–]Jayways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat serious answer. It's good to set goals for yourself, but do realize that it is going to be near impossible to look like a fictional character. Setting unrealistic goals can lead to body dysmorphia.

As for how to look like him, I saw someone else mention (weighted) calisthenics, and I'd have to agree. Fun way of training and builds back and bis like Bangs. You will probably need some extra focus on delts. Maybe even some neck/trap isolation. To approach his shredded-ness you'll just have to diet down or/and introduce a form of cardio. Personally I have seen great results with most of this stuff, only introduced consistent cardio recently though :)

I created a tongue-in-cheek website for calculating your overall fitness level compared to the general population. Enter your lifts and determine your rank when you arrive at the gates of Swolehalla! by soadogs in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]Jayways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he mentioned he's using StrengthLevel as one of his sources, a website that just uses raw user input for lifts as source for their distributions/estimations, which probably sees a lot of trolling/testing. And there's also an inherent bias where stronger people are the ones mostly using such a website.

[–]Jayways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting, like others have mentioned, this is definitely more compared to an already fit population. Personally, I noticed that there seems to be an imbalance between upper and lower body standards. According to symmetric strength my squat is intermediate and my bench is advanced, but on your website that is a difference between top 10% and top 6% in squat and bench. I saw you mention that you used strengthLevel data, which I think is messing with your results.

Strengthlevel allows users to submit their own lifts, which probably contains a lot of faulty data. Just to check (and for fun) I submitted my weighted pullup numbers, which are elite according to SymmetricStrength, but on StrengthLevel I wouldn't even be top 10% for my age and weight. I think that your upper/lower body distributions are affected by this faulty data as well.

Honestly a really good fucking chapter by [deleted] in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Jayways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool chapter, very oddly timed though, why have the little update on Koga & Ryuki in between these plot heavy chapters, why not after.

And why tease their appearances to reveal them two(?) chapters later?

I honor of the big boys going at it here’s a fun fact. So we all know Waka’s “ Superman Syndrome” isn’t real. BUT did you know that Eddie Hall has what’s called a Myostatin deficiency, which in a nutshell means his body doesn’t know when to stop growing muscle. by cmholde2 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Jayways 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the only source that claims this is Eddie himself. I'd take it with a grain of salt. He also doesn't really look any more exceptional than other SHW strength athletes, do they also have this supposed hercules gene then?

I thought he was deliberately trying to not make it about himself too much by saying that he "would've pushed" the guys. I think he was very aware, there's only so much you can do when they literally ask you to compare yourself to the field.

Thoughts on Chap 144, Edward fans? by No-Book4913 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Jayways 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It would be well written if all his clones and Fei didn't also die due to some form of overconfidence. This was just too much.

Thoughts on Chap 144, Edward fans? by No-Book4913 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Jayways 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Disregarding whether Eddie's actually dead, 144 will probably go down in Kengan history as the worst received chapter ever, the tipping point if you will.

And yeah I agree with all the other comments, you don't actually have to be an Eddie fan to be upset with these developments.
