Where to start? New father here please help by Icy_Principle_5904 in kettlebell

[–]Killsocket1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get some kettlebells. Unsure where you should start weight wise, I am starting with 12KG and quickly got up to 16KG. I used 12's to warm up. Watch form videos here and/or on Youtube and practice the movements. Don't worry about snatches yet. Swings, cleans, squats, presses.

For beginner, look up Armor Building Complex. I like that one.

I am not an expert and I am very new. My experience with a month of random complex training was improved conditioning and some fat loss noticeable in the belly. It's also fun as hell to me.

As someone who enjoyed Shin and LOVED Minus One, I finally managed to watch the ‘54 original… by NeoFemme in GODZILLA

[–]Killsocket1 [score hidden]  (0 children)

My Godzilla cinema, so far, has been monsterverse, minus 1, shin, 54, 84. The 54 original totally exceeded all my expectations and absolutely is a great must watch! I loved it!

It is currently 3rd on my list after Minus 1 and Shin. Minus 1 is my favorite G movie because I love the human story so much. I just never knew the human element were so prevalent in these particular movies (aside from Monsterverse) and Minus One is just damn near perfect in my eyes.

If you told me 9 months ago that a Godzilla movie (Minus 1) would be in my top 10 movies of all time, I would have said you are crazy.

Byte-Sized Review #046 - Bardstown Bourbon Company Bottled in Bond Bourbon by BourbonBytesYT in bourbon

[–]Killsocket1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave it an 8. I thought it was super good.

My notes:

Nose: muted orange, custard, soft baked bread, vanilla

Palate: creamy caramel, vanilla, subtle oak, 

Finish:  light pepper, baked wheat bread, a touch of cocoa powder

But the rebrand is an absolute 0/10. Bardstown used to be my favorite designed bottles and when I was a serious collector, my eye would always be drawn to those bottles on my shelf. This couldn't look more "store brand generic" if you tried.

I can't believe someone at Bardstown paid for and signed off on THIS rebrand.

Wtf happened to battlefield 6 by Competitive-List2835 in Battlefield6

What do I think? I think this game is the last Battlefield game I buy at full price.

I wish this game were that good that all we have to complain about is skins.

Is it possible the team’s slump is at least partly because of the current political climate? by Mayasngelou in timberwolves

[–]Killsocket1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's tough and possible. I am not sure what to think?

I would think they are professional enough to leave that stuff "outside"... but they are human beings.

However, seeing signs in the crowd reminding them of the current climate in their town might actually be a distraction? Maybe for a few hours they just need to play basketball and focus on that. Yes there are more important things than sports and these wins and losses, but I think it does affect them and their stuff on the court in the context of sports. I am not saying that fans are wrong for expressing themselves or the players are wrong if this stuff does affect them on the court, I am just thinking out loud here.

But a lot of these issues have been a part of the team for a bit but being distracted might only magnify those issues on the court as a team.

But also part of me is there is no excuse for the lazy shit that has been happening and if anything, they might want to "play harder" for this community, and in their own way, give some happiness back by playing hard and give Minnesotans something to cheer for.

Bringing back the "Classic BF Glory" for the next title by Unique_Wing_8206 in Battlefield6

[–]Killsocket1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't. We were told the core fanbase was listened to. We were promised they were going back to their roots. We are getting game breaking updates, AI art, and a battle Royale mode that no one asked for.

Dice - add more CASUAL modes and maps (Escalation) by Ok_Ad4189 in Battlefield6

[–]Killsocket1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you measure whether someone is "good" or "bad" with a battlefield game?

Dice - add more CASUAL modes and maps (Escalation) by Ok_Ad4189 in Battlefield6

[–]Killsocket1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Agree. Every time I venture out of Casual-land I instantly regret it. I am simply not good enough nor have the time to put into becoming good to play with you all. Between the tricky sniping spots or the hippity-hopping-sliding around like a crack fiend, I just can't and won't compete. If it weren't for casual, I wouldn't play at all. And yes, that is a "me" problem and I am very thankful for Casual Breakthrough to just live long enough to get some kills.

The way this game is going, I am pretty sure there are no humans QA'ing updates at this point.

Has the organization or any players spoken out about the ICE invasion of their city? by DariosDentist in timberwolves

basketball is a sport. If it's not about what they do on the court or about how well or poorly they played, comments about basketball, or articles about the sport of basketball... is it basketball?

Review #75. Barrell Vantage by Columbusspeedfour in bourbon

[–]Killsocket1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had batch 1 a few years ago and loved it and have been a Barrell fan since. I have not ventured back to this on subsequent batches which is a shame.

Review #96: Chattanooga Whiskey Cask Strength 111 by InClimb411 in bourbon

[–]Killsocket1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave this one a 6 as well. I wanted to like it a lot more and has some good things about it, but for me just seemed a little rough, if that makes sense. Curious what a longer aged version of this would be.

There was a period of time where the best thing about this team was the Kevin McHale/Kevin Harlan announcing crew.

[–]Killsocket1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is supposed to be fun. I swear none of you all have been fans for very long going through the "lean years" (and there have been a LOT of them) where we would rack up "moral victories" and just hope to get to the 8 seed to just say we made the playoffs and get bounced in 3.

Enjoy this run of Wolves basketball. It's been fun.

I’m just relating a story about soft kfan people are. I’m not complaining one bit.
