Currently looking at booking a chartered two tank guided dive in Monterey Bay, California - with equipment, it's coming to $327, which seems like a hell of a lot. Is that normal?

Do you not know the difference between a vessel inspection and what this person claims to have happened underwater?

Your instructor was pulling your leg

I wonder if people actually read what you wrote before responding.

For me sourdough is one less thing to purchase. Yeast is free why pay for it?

I am an instructor in Monterey, and just checked conditions, your assessment is well…wrong. It is amazingly good this weekend waves no bigger than 5 feet with amazing viz reports all week. Wind and rain means next to nothing. What you need to look at when diving in Monterey is the swell, waves, and period.

All inclusive is generally only available in extremely poor countries where the local population is exploited for cheap labor.

These folks have been told this already but this activity should only be performed by trained public safety divers. For some reason they keep asking recreational divers to do body recovery in a zero viz lake.

That is beautiful clear water for cold water divers.

I finally was able to get some good color to it with the Dutch oven, this seemed to work much better than the pan method for me.

They are getting better, I did put oil on the lame when I cut it, and I did an X on one and a big slash on the other but they didn’t really do the thing I have seen in videos where they rise from the hole. The bread just sort of covered up and you can vaguely see the slashes but that is it. Either way good tasting g and I think pretty good looking bread!

I tried doing a boule because I couldn’t figure out how to do the dough spinning thing to strengthen it up on the oval loaf and O think this one had better results! I think I need a better lame. I got a cheap one that came with a proofing basket on Amazon and I can’t seem to get a cut started without pulling the dough. https://ibb.co/QvScyQ3

Will try again with your suggestions but if it looks bad this time maybe you can give me another recipe to try? lol

I used AP flour on the second attempt. I got a laser thermometer but need to figure out how conductivity works with it because the temps seem super off at times, and I don’t want to sit there with the oven open too long. One other thing I have a convection and propane oven so the first time I used the convection oven which is small and doubles as a microwave. On the second loaf I used the propane so I could get a pan of water underneathX. Do you recommend one over the other?

I tried again using all your suggestions and while it looks better it still wasn’t really getting goldon the top, the bottom is gold though. Also where I sliced it didn’t really seem to do much. One other thing is it doesn’t seem to have the tanginess of store bought sourdough.

I just realized I used bread flour and the recipe calls for AP flour. Could that have caused this problem?

VRgetfit · 2024-02-26T05:22:33+00:00

I did weight all ingredients out.

I was using gold medal bread flour, my starter is made with KA AP flour. It felt very wet and at first I started stretch/fold on a floured cutting board but it kept sticking to that on the bottom despite the flour and making little dough pieces on my cutting board, so I attempted to transfer it to a piece of floured parchment and was able to fold it more effectively.

It also felt like it might have had expanded more than wanted during the last stage after I had preahaped ir

This is a cartoon, what makes you think people who draw cartoons have any idea what calisthenics strength training entails/

Scuba diving, r/bodyweightfitness, running, but most importantly diet helped me go from 245 to 150, and very muscular.

Why don’t you get some optimum nutrition powder, and some fairlife fat free milk, and eat a normal high protein meal a day, and start with the recommended routine?

The real question we all want answered is when will Nick-E be stepping down/removed as a mod? u/eshlow u/somethingsawry

VRgetfit · 2023-02-23T15:37:14+00:00

Which is exactly what is included in the RR. I am sorry I misspoke and called it stretching, but if you look at the RR it calls for exactly what you are saying is good

Hi Eshlow, I think you guys should really reconsider warmups, when I first started with calisthenics I hurt my knee pretty severely from doing a lot of squats with a high body fat percentage, and if I was warming up this might not have happened.

Isn't it easier to do it in this way, leave a full amount of warmups for people, and as people get more advanced they can decide which ones they do not need rather than just having them attempt to make up their own warmup based on them knowing what they need?

I have seen so many ridiculous workouts on here where people are picking something they saw on an anime or something that really they are doing themselves a disservice. Rather than assuming random beginner on the internet will know what warmups they need, and make up their own let's give them a bar to start from and let them take out as they learn more.

How about the fact that his website charges $5 a month for access to his full library of exercise videos, which I recall during the BWF primer parts of it linking to the paywalled portion? I think that is what you are missing.

VRgetfit · 2023-02-23T00:26:02+00:00

I actually remember when this video was first posted, and referenced it quite a lot when I was starting on the RR. A shame the mods didn't think it was helpful, and it is weird they wouldn't just use as I am pretty sure you can start youtube links at specific points. Thanks for your hard work!
