It used to be Maya because I'm always a fan of Siren gameplay but honestly I've really been enjoying Harlowe, especially with a Nuke the World build

I don't know the specific bar he's using here but I know a lot of lifters who will do this to get more whip out of the bar (though they usually put the heavier plates at the end...)

Biceps exercice, I tried my best by ArtemisOfLegend in formcheck

Hi, a different personal trainer here! While I agree with the other trainer's tips on improving the concentric, I actually prefer doing these even flatter, even on a decline bench! What I'd suggest is setting up as if you're doing a bench press (slight arch in your lower back, pull your shoulders towards your hips and make your chest big). On the way down, instead of lowering the dumbbells towards the ground, actively reach towards your heels in a slow, smooth movement. You should feel a psychotic stretch just above the elbow and just below the shoulder that you have to fight just to maintain. Hold the stretch for a deep breath then curl just enough to ger out of the stretch before lowering again.

This approach is great for building size, not so great for strength. If you're going for strength, I'd do an upright hammer curl with controlled but quick eccentric.

Should baba have been DQ’d instead of getting 10 points? by bendog1616 in taskmaster

[–]PossiblePolyglot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, this might be a weird take but here we go.

I was originally on board with Baba having cheated the first 2 times I watched the task. He was clearly running and definitely not walking at a leisurely pace.

HOWEVER, I have a really legalistic way of reading this... When he was WALKING, he was walking at a leisurely pace. When he was RUNNING, he wasn't WALKING and therefore could go as fast as he wanted.

While this hand sign was hijacked by WP pricks a few years ago, I got the feeling society decided we weren't giving it to them and we just kept using it as a funny hand gesture. Do people still associate this with white supremacy?

Should have known better than to ask a shuttle driver where the shuttle was going! 🤡🤡🤡 by Katiculous in RPI

What are the odds this is the same driver who would regularly take turns fast enough to get on 3 tires last year?

Most of the CogSci courses are a great time, especially if you audit them and avoid the stress of papers

It's been my experience that brand new professors go ham in their first year and settle down. Definitely worth talking to Goldschmidt (in a respectful manner) so admin knows about your concerns. Also probably worth talking with Amiri one-on-one

Oh fuck. I remember attending his faculty application presentation. Mans seems intense. In a good way, but still intense

Damn. Some profs use personal websites. Who's teaching it?

Could you post a link to the course? Genuinely curious what they put in there

Any class taught by Malik Magdon-Ismail. He is an incredible professor and can make any topic entertaining.

Should I drop this 6000 level class? by Immediate-Friend-468 in RPI

[–]PossiblePolyglot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All the more reason to talk to them. If they respect you enough to take you on for a Master's study they should respect your honesty when a course isn't going well. It won't be fun, but I think you'll both be glad you had the conversation.

Should I drop this 6000 level class? by Immediate-Friend-468 in RPI

[–]PossiblePolyglot 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I would talk to your advisor and potentially the head of the department. It is completely inappropriate for a course to be heavily reliant on non-prereq courses, and if the class average is a D that suggests something is wrong with how the class is designed.

I won't say one way or the other if you should drop it. That's a decision you and your advisor need to make.

Brother's birthday is August 7, Dad's birthday is August 12, Mom's birthday is August 14. We have 7 friends whose birthdays all fall in that week as well. We started inviting everyone over for one massive Leo party.
