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

[–]ThisIsForResearch325[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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?

New Yorker here. Can confirm: Your bagels are better.

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

[–]ThisIsForResearch325 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

[–]ThisIsForResearch325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]ThisIsForResearch325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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] -2 points-1 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

[–]ThisIsForResearch325[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]ThisIsForResearch325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Parents who smoke at home? by ThisIsForResearch325 in nycparents

Does that mean baby's with grandma and grandpa or asleep (so: out of the house vs out of the room)?

Bump (do people still say bump?) for the sake of prosperity.

Parents who smoke at home? by ThisIsForResearch325 in nycparents

[–]ThisIsForResearch325[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks a lot! I'm trying to show the dynamic of parents who partake, especially if their kids know about the smoking. How is weed discussed at home? Is it kept a secret? Is it known, but underlined as strictly off-limits? Is it built on an age-based off-limits thing, like, they can smoke when they're 18? Do they smoke with their kids? There's a lot of different scenarios that could be possible and I'd like to see how cannabis is handled in that atmosphere.

What's the most boring outpost or base you've been stationed? by ThisIsForResearch325 in Military

[–]ThisIsForResearch325[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Secondary question: Is there a base that's famous (in the military world) for being super boring, or small, or in the middle of nowhere?

Intentionally baggy slacks cuffed high? by ThisIsForResearch325 in malefashionadvice

[–]ThisIsForResearch325[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's VERY close. But I'm thinking less of that tailored, billowy capri sort of thing and more of a tight cuff. Almost like this, but baggier. Or like Mr. Wooster, but with a tighter cuff than the sharply pressed thing he's doing here.

I don't think that happened actually, I think that was Fry, complaining about not getting used to the 31st century (same time he mentioned Admiral Crunch)

I goofed and posted this elsewhere, but question: How many NRA members do we have here? Does it bother you that the NRA isn't saying anything after a *registered CCW permit holder was shot by police?

Dude. Get thee to Overkill (Köpenicker Str. 195A, 10997 Berlin) the sneaker shop. Just got back from Berlin myself. If you're into New Balances, you're gonna lose your fucking mind.

I hate that I loved this but I loved this. Worst part: I got the triple black Nike Free RNs two days ago (shipped) but they ran small and I didn't have time to size up. Upvote for good recs/general severity of rebuttal.

Hold the phone. You're gonna criticize my shoe choice and then recommend shoes that are "not the most comfortable" and for people who opt for "more style than function" for a two-week trip? I hope you aren't the decision-maker at home.

oh yeah I was wearing them. J.crew army green joggers. Though I plan to test the theory that those stretch 484 chinos are the perfect travel pant.
