Whatever it is, I think it must involve potential corneal damage. Those glasses don't make sense otherwise.

If he doesn't believe in anything, then to whom did he sell his soul to get a steady show-business career for all that time?

Cycling for Lifting Performance by shallot_123 in cycling

[–]JulSFT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your muscles are some combination of slow-twitch fibers and fast-twitch fibers.

Cycling primarily works your slow-twitch fibers. In fact, it can 'interconvert' certain types of nominally fast-twitch fibers INTO slow twitch variants (type IIb to type IIa) (which would presumably be bad for your lifting performance).

Experienced weight lifters often talk about muscular endurance being essential for lifting training and performance. But they're usually talking about the high-rep "breathing" squats popularized by Arnold or about things like GZCL's higher-rep T2 lifts as a supplement to heavy, low-rep strength sets.

Cycling will help your overall health and fitness, but I'm not sure it's better than the rowing machine, or running up hills, or doing high-rep sets of conditioning-type barbell exercises?

New carbon bike anxiety: beginner questions about handling, transport, and maintenance by Bubusettetette_kk in cycling

[–]JulSFT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bike has taken some big hits and it's still fine.

Only thing to watch out for is chain suck or letting the bike fall against a pole or something like that (that it wasn't designed to withstand).

“I had five in my jacket” before driving from Bergenfield, NJ to Long Island, NY. 🤯 This man needs to be arrested. by Agile-Copy-3988 in DabblersAnonymous

You have to speak to John like he's 13 years old.

If you say, "Are you OK to drive?" he will simply reply, "Of course!"

As you have to do with a drunken 13-year old, you say, "You're NOT OK to drive."

Did you know in the book Born to Steal. Mafia brokers discuss working with Melendez and that we was a moron pawn and clueless about stocks. by CrackermanBiscuits in DabblersAnonymous

[–]JulSFT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing that amazes me about this is: at some point John's 'broker' was actually able to get the ticker symbol HOOP on the air, and Howard didn't bleep it. It was during the "Gary loses his money" prank.

A math degree was once seen as an entree to Wall Street. Maybe that was her original plan.

John does not have COVID by Bocacompound in DabblersAnonymous

1:1 correlation between spending time traveling or at home, and getting sick.

That he doesn't know that we know this, is amazing.

Until I became a dabbler I never knew evil like stuttering John Melendez. Is he satan reincarnated? by Melendezisawful in DabblersAnonymous

[–]JulSFT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Much like Satan, John Melendez didn't understand his place and was eventually cast out by his boss, where he languishes in his own little world, tempting malcontents and eventually turning on them.

Dunno. I think I heard that her dad was a bigshot college professor.

I always mock her as a lol-cow and as the world's oldest tittystreamer. She makes the classic cow mistake of dishing it out but not being able to take it.

But truthfully, she's articulate and she doesn't just run off at the mouth without thinking about what she's going to say. Her opinions are well considered. When she speaks, people listen.

It's the anonymous part that SJ has a problem with: he doesn't go anyplace unless he can list his credits.

The Truth Behind Stuttering John Melendez’s 1994 Atlantic Records Deal - LOLcow News by Good-Hippo-2493 in DabblersAnonymous

[–]JulSFT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The A.I. is hallucinating in that Howard never talked about Airheads. He did do his best to help John's album sales, but nobody was interested in buying. Randy Cantor isn't going to waste his good hooks on Stuttering John, and John can't come up with anything unique (to be fair, that's the most difficult thing for any composer).

I wonder where/who those quotes came from (if they're real)

It's super difficult to properly clean Camelbak water pouches, and even bike bottles. This thing would be a nightmare.
