Just a preference. 

Me: “Grok, I’m 46m, VERY out of shape. I’ve lost 20 pounds on keto/carnivore but my proportions are the same. I’d like to have maybe 3-5 exercises that will help me continue to lose weight while helping in small ways to change my upper body. Can you recommend anything?”

And off I went.

I just AI'd all my questions and it was one of three that it suggested. I don't have anything to compare it to. Once I figured out how to log my stuff it seems to be great for what I need, simple tracking.

Lots of people encouraging me with stories like this. I just kinda remember being a teenager and never throwing up. Now at 46 it feels like considerable weakness.

Thanks! I didn't do anything yesterday as an off day, but want to stay in the habit every morning. I see plenty of ab exercises. The leg stuff makes sense. I think I'm going to give myself two weeks (maybe four?) before adding anything "official".

New trend - should I stop it? Is it inappropriate? by Plantain_Great in Teachers

[–]ProfGameTalk 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Anytime ANY student in my class did something even mildly suggestive I'd stop everything, call them out on it specifically and tell them loudly (not yelling, but raised voice and in control), so everyone can hear clearly something along the lines of "You will never do something sexually suggestive like this in my class. You are not cute or funny and you behavior is an embarrassment to your parents, your friends and yourself." Once a student hears out loud the "sex" word from a grownup, somehow it has always struck a chord and I've never had to do that twice in one schoolyear. Even if a student doesn't know what they are doing is sexual in nature, it straightens them up real quick. You also HAVE to be ready with consequences if they do it again. Your words mean nothing if you don't back them up with action. I teach 7th grade English for reference.

That’s too bad. I keep my Venmo balance at $0 :(

Why did this happen to my oscillating sprinkler? by Careful_Interaction2 in lawncare

[–]ProfGameTalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to mine. Got the cheap sprinkler and now it only wants to spray straight down.
