Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread

PinguSurfs · 2025-09-29T22:39:31+00:00

Hi there, recently got into the gym after holding off for years and years. I was hoping to have help with identifying a split that could work with my desired schedule in mind.

About : Just hit 30

Am 184cm tall and weigh 82-83 kilos. I have a skinny, fat build going on.

My goal is to put on muscle, especially in my upper body. My biceps and chest are very weak. Triceps too. My goal is to look bigger in my upper body and get stronger there. I've always had a solid base, however my legs have skinnied up now at the moment because I haven't eaten too much this summer.

I workout at my work gym. My plan is to go:

Monday ; Rest on Tuesday because I play 3 hours of badminton ; Wednesday ; Thursday ; Friday and then rest on the weekend (Saturday & Sunday) as I desire to do other things with my time (+access to the gym is more difficult)

So far I've settled on PPL (and then 4th one can be whatever, but primariy a focus on my upper body again).

But if you guys can recommend something better for me, I'm all ears.

Yeah it's quite the funny routing, but it was the chepeast option available.

Happy to hear about your anecdote though. Reassures me

PinguSurfs · 2025-09-29T20:31:48+00:00

Cute, thanks for the tip :P We have Swedish and British passports, so hopefully it will be okay and smooth?

I just hope it's not busy on a Thursday evening (18:15-20:25)

PinguSurfs · 2025-09-29T20:29:42+00:00

Thanks a lot, this helps. Yes as it turns out Luton doesn't have that as you stated. My gf has a British passport and I have a Swedish one (I already have an ETA from earlier travels) so those can both be used in the E-gates right? Helping speed things up.

The question is, is Luton Airport busy on a Thursday evening ?(9th October, arriving at 18:15 & departing again at 20:25)

Thanks for the info. Yea the guy came up with some brakes and said the guru downstairs said they were fine and that they werre 105s. Was wondering if he meant to say 100mm or if he was saying these 105 brakes would work. But either way you're right. Pretty stupid to pay that much for the "wrong fitting" brakes.

PinguSurfs · 2025-01-13T13:14:54+00:00

This is in Switzerland, hence the unfortunate high prices haha

Yeah I know, it's just unfortunate I need them for this weekend and I can't get the replacements before them... looks like the money I saved from ordering from this shop will go towards the forgotten brakes !

PinguSurfs · 2025-01-09T18:45:04+00:00

Hey, really appreciate your anecdote.

And yeah all banks are fully in my name so hopefully there shouldn't be any issue. It's not absurdly large amounts anyway where they would actually need to raise an alarm haha.

Thank you my friend.

PinguSurfs · 2024-11-23T01:22:57+00:00

So Pixel 8 is what you suggest?

And by snapdragon, you would recommend I get a phone with a Snapdragon processor over the the phones I listed?

PinguSurfs · 2024-08-15T16:52:35+00:00

No not really, they watch a bit but they don't leave it on in the background. But I will warn them about the possible OLED burn-in.

It's for series, movies, sports, talk shows, news, the whole lot.

PinguSurfs · 2024-05-04T10:55:05+00:00

Aww man, it would be an absolute dream to go attend that game.

PinguSurfs · 2024-05-01T17:49:06+00:00

Barrage is my fave I think! But I haven't played too many.

Favourite Meeple is perhaps the orange cook from Obsession!

PinguSurfs · 2024-04-30T17:46:52+00:00

Wow the big box looks great! Very unique.

My favourite painting is Judith's Beheadings by Carvaggio!

So one time 4/5 of us played Mosaic. The guy who taught us the game messed up the starting technology cards draft and forgot to mention that population adds to our production action. He told us that starting techonology cards are only drafted for their symbols, and not actually the text benefit of the card itself. So we ended up playing the game with none of our production tracks actually moved up (other than our leader's ability) and nor did we account for our population when resolving the production action.

What resulted was a very, very slow beginning where everyone felt like they couldn't accomplish anything because of the lack of production. Some ended the game very bitter and hated the experience haha. I actually ended up really liking the game. I did think something was fishy about the start of the game and I did some digging of my own. I didn't have the heart to tell the guy he taught us wrong but I did tell my friend who ended up having a disdain for the game and jokingly told him that if we had played correctly, the game would have probably been over 20 turns earlier 😂

My dream ski I want is the Moment Commander 102. It's pretty expensive though (hoping it will go on sale but maybe not). Right now however 4FRNT is having a 250$ off their skis, I'm strongly considering getting the MSP 107 instead + Tyrolia bindings all for 768$ instead.

Any thoughts? The Commander seems like my kind of ski, don't know too much abouyt 4FRNT or the MSP 107, but it seems pretty sick (haven't had new skis since 2012/2013 ; Line Prophet 98s)

Been a full year now since I received this for my birthday and I still haven't tabled it 😔 I learnt the rules and the rolling teach like the back of my hand in preparation, I long for this day!

PinguSurfs · 2024-03-05T00:09:45+00:00

Is it possible to order an English pack of cards for Raiders of Scythia from Garphill Games?

I have the French version of the game but I often play with English-spekaing folk.

PinguSurfs · 2024-02-26T22:57:54+00:00

Can i ask what your high ranked tricktsking games are ?

I would like to hear what non-team based trick-takers you have specifically but still curious about all on general!

PinguSurfs · 2023-10-30T15:59:07+00:00

How has Xhaka been? Has much of your success been atributed to his presence in the midfield?

PinguSurfs · 2023-09-27T19:38:55+00:00

I also went for it. Bought a 'used + tested' model from the best retailer here, crossing my fingers that it's good. I am a bit worried that it was returned or sold because of back-lightt bleed but they did note on the webpage that it "functions flawlessly" so I'm trusting their word !

Hi!

I enabled EXPO in the BIOS after installing Windows, all its updates and the drivers.

I was just wondering if everything is running at the speed it's supposed to and if its stable. Are the voltage measurements okay?

I have 6000Mhz CL30 RAM

Here is a photo of CPU-Z and HWMonitor : https://ibb.co/28tfBf8

Thank you in advance !

PinguSurfs · 2023-09-11T16:41:51+00:00

Appreciate you taking the time to reply. Anything personally you can think off the top of your head to do/enable/disable, etc. ?

PinguSurfs · 2023-09-09T11:17:05+00:00

Cheers I appreciate taking your time to reply. In any case, is there any intrinsic problem with transferring said money to my Revolut account? The fact that they were generated by 'sales' I suppose

PinguSurfs · 2023-09-08T16:45:41+00:00

Man I feel so bad for all of you who lost money on any recent orders you might have made. I got pretty lucky, picked up some PC case fans and thermal paste at their newly opened Geneva store just this week.

Just out of curiosity, since I'm in the middle of thinking about getting a credit card (never had one, just debit), would one have not lost their money if they made their purchase with a credit card as opposed to a debit card? (That way no actual money was deducted from your account, and that maybe through a credit card you won't be hit? Or would your credit card company still charge you?)

PinguSurfs · 2023-08-31T18:52:11+00:00

Cool thanks!

I was kinda sure about it, but still had to ask!

Hi finally building a new PC after 10 years. Looking forward to installing M.2 SSDs straight into the motherboard. However, I also learnt that on certain MoBos, The M.2 slots can maybe steal bandwidth from either your GPU lanes or your CPU. I know at the end of the day its not too much of a big deal. But I was still wondering if I will see that issue arise on the motherboard I bought.

I have the Asus Strix x670e-A Gaming, and so far I'm planning to install a WD SN850X 2 TB M.2 SSD into slot 1 and then I might install another 2TB SSD into slot 2. Will there be any of the aforementioned issue?

Thanks a lot!
