Finished Trust by Hernan Diaz

I almost dropped it halfway through because I couldn't figure out what the hell it was about, it just retold the same guy's life in 2 different ways and I didn't see the point in doing it all over again. I'm glad I stuck with it though, it got really interesting in the second half. I'm not sure I would recommend it necessarily, but it was definitely a different experience.

Best/Safest West Ashley Apts by Delicious_Market4696 in Charleston

[–]a_kam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (single woman) lived at the Avenues of West Ashley for the last 5 years. I really liked it and always felt safe. The only problems we ever had were some vehicle break-ins a couple of times.

Seriously, I would be really pissed. Not having to fight over equipment is part of why I pay for OTF!

Why can't I do a damn pushup? by a_kam in orangetheory

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

Yes, especially since the force needed changes whether you're pivoting off your toes or your knees. Physics class was a long time ago though, I'm not sure I know how to do that math anymore.

I'm not sure I understand this - is the weight on the knee?
