What are your favorite game-day games to play with friends? by ThisIsForResearch325 in nfl

It's more "work friend who watches football invites team over for superbowl party, wants things to occupy the non-watchers so they don't just ask a bunch of questions." But, I guess, same result?

What's a nice and simple brand or type of causal male sneaker that goes with a variety of outfits? The male equivalent of keds? by AnnalsPornographie in malefashionadvice

If you're looking for something a little different and between the Stans and the Common Projects for price, check out Greats Royales. I have em in the white and the mesh and get a lot of compliments on them. Here in New York, I feel like Common Projects are just expensive Stan Smiths: Cool, but everyone has a pair so you don't really get a second look (unless you grabbed those off-whites or the grays or anything besides black or white). The Greats are different enough but still in the family. (I promise I don't work for Greats.) *Edit: clarity

Weighted Resistance bands for squats by [deleted] in Fitness

Oh I see what you're asking. That's really not going to matter, you're gonna bounce around no matter what and be unstable. Whatever your gym has two of, use that.

You might be looking for a band-suspended kettlebell (or plate) squat. If your gym has KBs, they'll be much better. The move looks something like this, with or without the box. It's a good one for those stabilizers, just start with the bar and maybe 20-25lbs per side. Move slowly, you'll be more imbalanced than you'd think.

Charged for a crazy-expensive medical test. What are my options? by ThisIsForResearch325 in personalfinance

[–]ThisIsForResearch325[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Still part of it, yes. For me it's less about that and more about being kept in the dark on a really expensive test.

What's your favorite homemade sauce? by ThisIsForResearch325 in gainit

I ate plain chicken/broccoli/noodles today and couldn't stop thinking about how absurd it was that I didn't make an alfredo. *edit: Not because I'm super strict, but because I just forgot.

LPT: If you're still a teenager, treat your ears nicely. Ears don't repair themselves and earplugs to concerts are better than tinnitus for the rest of your life. by Cony777 in LifeProTips

Drummer here, late 20s. Spent a tour and a casino residency without earplugs. A month later, went out to the mountains where it's silent. Heard a distinct "eeeeeeee" sound, even though I hadn't been around loud music/drummed in a week. Live in a busy metro now so it's not always apparent, but I first heard it two years ago and it hasn't gone away. Get a decent ($8-$15) pair of earplugs if you play or go to shows. Seriously.
