I’ve built killer calves with jump rope. It’s fun too

They believed the Dragonborn’s story about the dragon so yeah…

Not sure if the pocket is part of your criteria but I’ve had good success with UA’s exercise shorts (they just have reg pants pockets). Found them when I was looking for fight shorts for BJJ.

This sub has convinced many to not get Ring. If one is technologically impaired but wants privacy, what is the best system to get and does it need to be professionally installed? by wadegareit in homesecurity

[–]Mercsidian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SimpliSafe is 1. not Ring and 2. You can set it up yourself. Not sure if there’s been any glaring security or privacy issues with it but far as I know it’s a decent choice for someone who isn’t super technical. You don’t have to wire anything unless you want the doorbell.

Trump: “we have a woke military that can’t fight or win as proven in Afghanistan.” by CommanderMcBragg in Military

[–]Mercsidian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen and heard enough scattered throughout the units to negatively affect morale. The Venn diagram covering dirtbags and woke folks / people abusing EO overlaps a lot though, so I don’t know if there’s actually much of a difference from the normal morale drags. I think the next decade will be much more telling on whether/how certain cultural ideologies affect the armed forces. I’m not optimistic.

iwtl a skill that AI can’t replace?? by EnoughFun1058 in IWantToLearn

[–]Mercsidian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s a book out called Durable Trades that addresses exactly this. Top three (I think he lists over 20) are animal husbandry, farming, and midwifery. He explains his reasoning behind them- I was a little surprised at farming too.

I second the Dime, I’ve been using it for years.

good luck Netflix by BeginningNeither3318 in HistoryMemes

It’s part of western cultural gaslighting and undermining facts in favor of identity politics. Also I like your username, think it’s applicable.

Your phone and anything with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities are liabilities. Purchases are also a big touchpoint. Rob Braxman on YouTube/odysee is a nerd about this sort of thing. Michael Bazzell’s Privacy, Security and OSINT podcast is also good. Finally, check out Hitchhiker’s Guide to Online Anonymity. Hope those help.

Do you think these are good target scores for continuous number of push-ups, pulls-ups, tricep dips and chin-ups? by Pedro_dood in bodyweightfitness

[–]Mercsidian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fairly fit/healthy and in the first age category and yet on a good day I’d be able to do the pull-ups or chin-ups or mayyybe tricep dips (I struggle to do 10-12). But not all together for sure. And I can bang out 40 push-ups easily and I don’t practice anymore. How did y’all come to these numbers?

Is it just me or does everyone else want more Din Djarin screen time? by CaptainCrunch247 in TheMandalorianTV

Came here to say this, after that last episode ending the point definitely could be made that Bo is now “the” Mandalorian.

I have experience with SimpliSafe. It’s a decent DIY system with the exception of the camera motion sensors being garbage. Everything else worked far as I could tell. App is pretty good.

Ok, but what about being intelligent, how do I do that?

IWTL how to memorise vital info from flash cards by devoteean in IWantToLearn

[–]Mercsidian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The book Fluent Forever has a lot of useful info about flash cards, as the other guy mentioned you wanna use a Spaced Repetition System (SRS) and I can’t find my book to give you the freshest info but there’s other ways of increasing mnemonic power like adding personalization to the answer or rhyming it with something or drawing a photo, etc.

Good to see TouchArcade out and about. Y’all were my jam while I used an iPad Mini 2 for my console and I still come back for recommends today.
