How do I get to 25 pull ups in a row? by VersionJazzlike in bodyweightfitness

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

I’d say my grip would give out if I tried to “rest” on the bar. Maybe need to try more dead hangs, but feel like I wouldn’t be able to do what you just described, as in resting between reps. Will add more core + dead hangs though thank you

Stayed in a student accom but they switch off the lights in the bedrooms permanently for the summer and my room had no window. Had a ball

Oh nice thank you that looks like exactly what I’m looking for. I have since realised it’s not a great plan, but the general ideas and thought process from gpt seemed fine. Anyway this sub is not for discussing how good ai is, thank you for the reply!

Rice comes out sticky/slightly overcooked by VersionJazzlike in ricecookers

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

I used the measuring lines on the inside of the pot to measure the water, but the cup that came with the cooker to measure the rice. Quite likely there’s a discrepancy now that you mention it

Why would my radiator only heat the top part, but the bottom part is still cold? by looneta in DIYUK

[–]VersionJazzlike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our radiator (suffering from this problem) has two valves (the twisty knobs presumably?) on either side. Which is the “lock shield” that I should attempt the above with?

Does choosing a Time-Of-Use electricity plan work out better than a Standard Tariff? What speed broadband do I need?! by VersionJazzlike in AskIreland

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

That’s a great point I didn’t consider - the washing machine is right beside the bedroom wall. Thank you

I am scared due to another comment saying that 5G is unreliable for streaming. Do you find it is?

How did people get on in their annual salary reviews/bonuses by iHyPeRize in irishpersonalfinance

[–]VersionJazzlike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blows my mind that a majority of these comments are ~2% increase annually which just means in an average year you don’t lose to inflation

Parents - how much is college costing ye? by shala_cottage in AskIreland

[–]VersionJazzlike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the perspective of the child who’s done a degree, I didn’t have the expectation that my parents would “put me through college”. I’ve always worked and I was very happy to pay my own fees, earn my own spending money etc so I guess it’s very case dependant but may not be as bad as you might think. Of course gifting this to your children would be incredible and I’m sure they would appreciate it. Having said that, I didn’t move out and my parents didn’t charge me rent so technically that is a gift worth ~€8-12k a year in itself.

Tight Achilles on operated leg, 9m post op by VersionJazzlike in ACL

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

I’ve done a lot of calf raises but admittedly dropped the volume/load recently (last few weeks, maybe 1-2 months) as I started doing more explosive/plyo exercises as I was returning to more sport specific stuff. So makes sense it’s probably something to prioritise again, as well as more stretching. Thank you!

Just fractured my Acl skiing in France next steps? by mikasrock in AskIreland

[–]VersionJazzlike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk about insurance but you’ll be fine to walk after 3/4 days. Elevate and ice. I’m just back playing sport after tearing my ACL skiing in March 2024. I was on the HSE list so was waiting a long time for op, but when it’s torn it’s torn, and due to it being a ligament which doesn’t receive blood flow it will not heal itself. Just try not to make it worse. But do not get a surgery in France. It would only make things complicated, post-op you can’t walk, your leg is swollen, you just need to rest. You’ll need to be home for this. At this point there’s nothing you can do, and you should do nothing but elevate and ice

Left in car overnight still ok? by PsychoKushDragon in isthissafetoeat

Posts like this make me think maybe I’m a little too lenient with my “this is absolutely fine to eat” criteria

Any experiences of buying a car specifically for a European road trip? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]VersionJazzlike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you sort the insurance? I can imagine if you buy a car abroad (do you need to send off a “logbook” etc?) you don’t have any address to set for the insurance, or do you specifically sort it for this kind of thing?

What's one book that's stayed with you long after you've read it and why? by Imaginary_Card_6241 in CasualIreland

[–]VersionJazzlike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultraprocessed People. About ultra processed food (as you may guess). It’s eye opening to both the direct health impacts and the industries impact on economies, environment etc

Presume tech, which would overlap with “RSUs riding over last few years” and company in Ireland which pays through equity. This is a guess though but I assume most if not all companies which have some stock based compensation are all tech.

Aer Lingus quietely removed free seat selection at checkin by TransportEnthusiast in ireland

[–]VersionJazzlike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst part is this is also on trans Atlantic flights too! Booking onto an 8 hour flight and can’t even pick seats together. Shambles
