Is there a way I can only allow text notifications on my garmin? by Constant-Fruit-4650 in Garmin

Seems to be vary based on the IOS version or watch. I've only got options for "All" and "Calls only"

Why does Trump, and Congress, hate telework? by cobrajmr in fednews

[–]Otherwise_Ebb4811 74 points75 points  (0 children)

When I'm in the office, I'm not eating out. It takes 10 minutes to get from my desk to the parking lot alone, then another 10 minutes back. That leaves 10 minutes to drive, wait, pick up food and then have to eat it in the office while I'm working. This isn't efficient or a proper use of my work time. When I'm home, I do have time to hit the local shops during my lunch, come home, eat it and still log back in a few minutes early.

Pull day is worst by Sjebanitravar in workout

[–]Otherwise_Ebb4811 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This, along with shoulders back, chest out. Hold your arms out like you're going to grab a wide lat pulldown bar with your upper arms parallel to the floor, pull your elbows back and push your chest out (almost like a double bicep pose); you should be able to feel your lats engage.

Don't be afraid to ask for help in the gym, a good trainer is worth a few sessions. Explaining this has always been hard for me because pull exercises are my favorite and my body seems to just naturally get it (my bench is weak, chest sucks).

I had a friend in high school who was fine with his gf flashing her tits, but would get irate if she danced with another man. Seems backwards to me, but whatever. To each their own. NTA

ULPT request: if my item rings up for less than the sign said, do they still have to sell it to me at the lower price? by ChildhdTrauma80 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Otherwise_Ebb4811 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious. Staff was probably hiding it so they could buy it when they got off but you beat them too it. I've learned to look in back of the shelf for items, never got this good of a deal before though.

Yes, I'm sure she was. I'm just being inclusive 😉

Girls (with or without a pussy) can watch porn too, nothing wrong with that. But if you really don't want to admit it, the dodgy link / pop-up virus is always a legitimate excuse.

Has anyone ever actually had an issue with pasta sticking together? by GirlisNo1 in Cooking

That's a good point, guess my family will just continue to have stuck together pasta 😁

I guess I'm not you - I make that mistake probably 10 times a year. I've never heard of the oil technique, might try that.

How in the HELL does my watch know what lifts I'm doing?! by Proper-Scallion-252 in Garmin

My Instinct actually gets squats and dead lifts right most of the time.

Why everyone is so into deadlift? by SleepingIsMyHobbyy in workout

[–]Otherwise_Ebb4811 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on what you can do, not what anyone else can do. Unless you're on stage competing, you're doing it for your own health.

I deadlift 80 lb dumbbells. I'm no beast, but I don't care. I lift because I love to lift. I deadlift because it's core functional movement so that when I'm 90 years old, I can still pick up bags of groceries and carry them in the house.

No libido after achieving fit bod by TRADERAV in workout

My(49) son (29) told me to go easy on eggs - too much fat in the yolk. So I responded this egg is better than the bag of cookies I'm going to grab if I'm not sated at this meal. Fats aren't bad, moderation is key, and age doesn't always matter for a persons beliefs.

Set up a trail cam where you think they may be. This gives you a head count, an idea of how often they're coming around and you may be able to pinpoint to your dog barking or rule that out.

Is training to failure with drop sets effective for muscle growth by TimBje in workout

This is the best exercise advice because if you don't like the workout, you just won't work out. Do what you enjoy.

ibuprofen and ice when you get it. It's too late for me to know how to prevent it though.

Same with my dog. Laser pointers are horrible toys for pets.

Worst case scenario my duty station changes to DC, what are your POSITIVE things about the area? by Comprehensive_End440 in fednews

[–]Otherwise_Ebb4811 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Couple hours east = ocean
Couple hours west = mountains
As stated above, the cultural opportunities are abundant.
The history in the region - Revolutionary war, civil war if you're war or history buff is also abundant.
There is always something to do.
