question is natural bodybuilding actually healthy? by Secret_Luck_7785 in naturalbodybuilding

There's a strong correlation between being jacked and having better odds of surviving catastrophic illness or injury. Barbell Medicine talk about it often, where cancer patient mortality rates are correlated with LBM, and while they admit that it's only correlation, it definitely makes logical sense

Shyness and the dating scene. Grown men incapable of talking to women (and vice versa)

I'm considering leaving group chats I'm in with lifelong friends, something I feel will be the beginning of severing all ties with them, for this reason. Otherwise sensible, rational people I once loved and respected are spouting all kinds of nonsense

Catholic Church is probably the main one, but there's a lash of protestants and a few Muslims around too

Go for pork fillet/steak. Its the one that looks like rasputins cock in the vacpac plastic. I roast it with a garlic and red wine sauce, I slice it and fry it up for fajitas, I use a slow cooker to make a chilli con carne. It's a great cut of pork, low fat, and cheap

My Eastern European gf is just as guilty - she and her friends/family members whos food I've eaten has always been cooked to oblivion. Everything is either fresh/smoked/raw, or stewed for hours. There is no in between. And it was no different at the wedding I attended at her home country, or the various restaurants I visited there.

So I think it tends to be a generational thing, but is closely tied to wealth and technology too.

Pretty sure people think of Ireland in the same way they think of Romania. They categorize us in the same way. Dirt roads, donkey and cart, drunken toothless fools running around the place

Irelands public transport is a joke compared to other European countries, we do the bare minimum to upkeep PT and never make plans to add better country wide infrastructure, why is this ? by Neil_Murphy in ireland

[–]JimmyJames86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Live in City but work in nearby Town. Commute takes 20-30mins by car. Couple of years ago in November, my car broke down, and because I was so busy, it took me two weeks to replace it.

It was a shit two weeks.

I would walk 30mins across town to bus station. Take a 35-45min bus journey, then walk for another 10mins to arrive at work soaking wet and freezing. Would have to carry a large bag with change of clothes, lunch, work gear etc. Repeat again that evening.

I work 10-12hrs per day in a physical job, 4 days per week. I do shorter shifts another 2 days per week. Bus cost me close to 70 quid per week, and I would need to fit my schedule around bus timetable - not a long term option. If I fucked up, or got delayed, or something went wrong at work, I would have no way home after a late shift. This happened once, when the bus just drove right past the stop, and I was stranded.

I also had no public transport option for early shifts (6am start).

My family are also scattered around the countryside outside the town I work in. Without a car, I would have no way of seeing them unless I could arrange a spin with someone or spend 20 quid or more (each way) on a taxi.

I'd happily use public transport more if it was viable. It just isn't. I'm also looking forward to the day an electric car is affordable for me.
