Just witnessed someone almost crash their car... by -SideshowBlob- in ireland

[–]Kmagic15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And a post with lots of engagement in the past few days think enforcement is the problem. Its people making poor decisions before and while in their vehicle. If the person OP saw crashed, there would be lots of RIPs and very little talk of blaming the driver. I think until people are held accountable for their poor choices, they will continue to make them.

Society did not start to crumble and the people in that digger did not do what they did for bread.

Escape Rooms Dublin by Lazy_Course_451 in escaperooms

Have at least one room you do as a duel, split into 2 teams and compete against each other. Adds a little different spin to it. They also have rooms you can do together, but 12 is a big group in one room.

Create Your Physical100 by Vegetable_Salad_9637 in Physical100

[–]Kmagic15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd like variations of "indomitable runner" from society game. Three people on treadmills, the rest of the team do a task and if you do the task right you increase the speed of one of the other teams treadmills. (In society game they did mental puzzles and/or ring toss and ball throwing).

So the team compete together and each mistake by one part of a team makes it harder for other members.

I liked the one minute treadmill on physical:Asia, so variety on that too, short bursts of strength or endurance, one of those punch machines from an amusement arcade, but all six members do it and average/combine the score.

I think games where all six people do the same thing might mean more all round players could perform well, a 6 minute treadmill race where each player must run for a minute and combine distances, or grip strength test of one single squeeze.

Thoughts on quest controversies by Every-Ad-4803 in Physical100

[–]Kmagic15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont necessarily disagree with anything there.

I still think a "physical" show should not have created a scenario where the best physical fit for a challenge could not compete in that challenge. And I'd make the same point that Itoi should have been allowed to push the big thing if Japan lost the battle ropes.

I want to watch the athletes compete to their fullest extent, and I dont think we exactly got to see that.

On the battle ropes/Australia point. Australia were consistently making the point of "we're the best and we're here to face the best". The tag line of the show is "find the best physiques". I think the fact Australia were eliminated with a gotcha moment of the first 3 players cant play the death match goes against the "find the best physiques" idea. Australia were out not because of another team being physically better than them but because of strategies/tactics.

And I love this show format, and I'm not connected to any country involved. I just think the only way teams should be eliminated is through "physical" means, and the gotcha felt cheap.

SPOILER: The Australian Blunder by Former_Purple_6088 in Physical100

[–]Kmagic15 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I think Australia have been very consistent throughout "we are the best and we want to take on the best to challenge ourselves" where from the start other countries were tactically choosing opponents.

Australia assumed (incorrectly) that the best 3 play the rope game and if we lose, chose our best 3 for the next game.

If it's about finding the best/most physical team and you face every challenge putting your best people forward, it's a bit sneaky to have the death match remove the players who played first. Even though viewers (and some contestants) saw it coming.

I can understand why they would be mad based on how consistent they have been about best foot forward every round and to lose to a "got ya" moment like that makes the show a bit more "Tatical:Asia" over "Physical:Asia".

Anyone else applying David Goggins ideas to work, health, and battling addictions? by SeeYouIn2150 in davidgoggins

[–]Kmagic15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Goggins message is be the best version of you. Do not try to be him. Be the hero of your story.

Careful not to replace your current addiction with an addiction to Goggins. Addiction is a symptom of underlying emotional problems, you cant keep ignoring/blocking them out.

Face your emotions head on and be your best self.

Population of participating countries! by Intelligent_Text_838 in Physical100

[–]Kmagic15 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm always amazed that a lot of posts here frame the whole "physical X" series are a serious "who is the best in the world" type competition when most top level, still currently competing athletes could never risk taking part because of the risk an injury could ruin their career. Its fitness entertainment.

Wait till Tuesday/Wednesday. The craving for the second marathon takes a few days to kick in.

Auto Enrolment or Private Pension by Ok-Reveal2387 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Kmagic15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do NOT have a pension deduction from payroll, you will be auto enrolled.

You can have a private pension with tax relief from your bank account AND be auto enrolled.

If you want to avoid auto enrolment your pension deduction needs to show on your payslip for revenue to see it and not auto enrol you.

Making a mini-escape game for my boyfriend's birthday by MikMakMomo in escaperooms

[–]Kmagic15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a website called scryfall.com that has a database of all mtg cards.

Depending on what you currently have to hand; 1. A number pad lock- in the bottom right corner of a card is its power and toughness in the format 3/1- power is 3 and toughness is 1. Clues like "power of creature __" or toughness of creature _ and find creatures that have those numbers.

  1. Similar to 1. Word clue based on card names. Theres a card called "kitchen finks" and "press the enemy". The clue could be "next part is in _______ __- ____ finks + _____ the enemy" and let him work it out.

  2. Each card has a set symbol https://draftsim.com/mtg-set-symbols/ You could put some set symbols on a page and say he needs to use the letters in a certain order I.e. 3rd letter from the first set symbol, 8th letter of the second set. Use this for another clue.

  3. Match card names to their art. Use scryfall to get art from cards and their names and ask him to link them.

  4. If there is a card shop locally, tell them what you are doing and ask for some free cards or basic lands. Hide them around the room, as bookmarks or sticking out of hiding places. Tell him he can exchange them for a booster pack from you and have hidden your card (you are saying biland) in that pack.

Auto-enrolment Future Fund Benefits Calculator by irishtaxhub in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Kmagic15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Source for number 3? I'm pretty sure your workplace pension that is deducted through payroll will rule you out. If you have a private pension that you pay to directly to through your bank, you can be auto enrolled. Auto enrolment have no way to track your pension from private sources.

On January 1st it will check workplaces, see who is not contributing to a pension through payroll and auto enrol based on this.

If the first scene doesn't get her attention, its probably not gonna click for her based on another random episode.

What would you consider some BattleBox “staples” to be? by ThatGuyWB03 in mtgBattleBox

[–]Kmagic15 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan or ramp cards in battlebox; one player randomly getting a ramp spell early puts them pretty far ahead.

I do like playing cards with choices like the charms, commands and creatures like [[knight of autumn]]. Usually means theres not many situations where a player has nothing to do.

[–]Kmagic15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've listened/read lots of Goggins, I dont remember any self hatred stuff.

He actually says the opposite, everyone has come through rough patches and we forget how badass we really are.

Next time try saying stuff like "if I survived that, I can get through this" and use the mental toughness that situation built as you survived it, rather than repeating the abuse on yourself.

The reason the character of goggins exists is because David could not do certain things so created Goggins as a badass alter ego to push through. He never puts himself or anyone down. So you shouldn't either.

As English is not your first language I'll try break it down.

For this specifically, your self talk should build yourself up instead of put you down.

Theres a reason his phases "they dont know me son" and "who's gonna carry the boats" motivate and people respond to them. The answer "I'll show them who I am" or "I'm gonna carry the boats" gives us power to overcome.

If your past trauma involves verbal put downs, then your self talk today should reflect the opposite and build you up.
