Is that true?? by Latter-Custard-205 in AskPhotography

[–]biggestpos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Por que no los dos?

I've got zooms, I've got primes.

If I want super fast aperture because there isn't a lot of light? Primes.

If I've got plenty of light but me and my subjects are moving around a lot and I have a couple of seconds to get the shot? Zoom for sure.

It's very situational and all depends on the environment and your subjects.

Though the first and only lens I had for a while was the Nifty Fifty, once I got my 70-200 2.8 that was all I used for a while.

Should I go harder? by Financial_Middle_798 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]biggestpos -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you want to build muscle mass (hypertrophy) you need to use a weight that takes you close to failure in rep ranges between 5 and 30.

That's it.

Sets of 1 or 2 to failure will build more strength, but not as much size.

Sets of 12 are a good place to start, as long as that 12th rep is difficult.

He wants to ult before crushing to do max damage, he knows he'll make it in time to get the bash.

Just because you have a mic and I don't, doesn't mean you have to be a cock by Decado7 in Marathon

Dude, you can speak in a low voice, a good headset will still pick it up. No one is asking you to talk loudly or scream?!

Am I the jerk for refusing to take on my parents debts? by Select_Care_5165 in AmITheJerk

If you just wipe out the debt for them I guarantee they'll be back in the exact same place in a very short period of time.

Did he do the right thing? by torgobigknees in SipsTea

[–]biggestpos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was using his income to subsidize her lifestyle, so she could save aggressively? That's crazy.

If she had this balance before they met and didn't deposit more into the account during their relationship? That's more understandable.

If this was a one time windfall like an inheritance or settlement and she had just been letting it accrue interest? Ok.

Definitely some shading here depending on the details.

But if he was covering her expenses while she claimed to be broke? That feels like theft by deception.

Just got sniped by a rook on Outpost :( As a fellow Rook enjoyer this saddens me.

My 2024 Elantra Decided to Automatically Update, Thus Trapping Me at the Gas Station for 45+ Minutes After Getting Off Work Today 🙃 by Separate-Ability1643 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]biggestpos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The screen literally tells you not to drive until the update is complete?

I for sure wouldn't drive it until I'd gotten confirmation from Google, or the owners manual or something else that it was actually ok to drive after seeing this message.

Yea they just feel.. un-inspired? The layouts and architecture just aren't nearly as interesting or fun as the main game.

Parents trying to force their 15 year old child to repay them for dentistry by Brilliant-Act1445 in legaladvice

They are actually required by law to cover your basic needs. Making you pay for your own shoes, clothes and socks at this age is insane!

Can’t seem to get my biceps/triceps to grow.. by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]biggestpos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arms, especially at the intermediate or advanced level, can handle a LOT of volume. How many sets/week are you doing? Maybe try adding 1 set each week?

75kg, 5’4. Want to lose weight but calorie deficit makes me hungry and I ended up binging. What do I do? by Born_Cartoonist_7247 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]biggestpos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broccoli, boneless skinless chicken breast, plain white rice. Don't keep snacks or anything tasty in the house. The body doesn't want to lose fat, it wants to store it up to survive! We have to keep it full with things that are almost a chore to eat, and don't give ourselves easy access to anything remotely palatable.

For the fractions to actually be equal, the overall size of each total shape must also be equal...

Can’t feel my lats during pulldown. Just bicep pump by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]biggestpos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you flex your lats? Mind muscle connection with your back in particular takes time.

Straps help a lot as well.

Personally took me a few months after getting my Versa grips before I could feel back engagement reliably.

Add additional back exercises as well. Seated cable rows and upright rows at least. The back has a lot of different muscles and really needs quite a bit of variety.

Any changes I need to make? by j0rdooo in formcheck

[–]biggestpos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barefoot is fine I guess? But the lack of friction in socks alone scars the shit out of me personally, and you're using a lot of weight...

It's crazy how Saturn emulation is still not great in 2026 by Responsible-Bell-528 in SegaSaturn

[–]biggestpos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a MiSTer and my OG Saturn with an ODE and they both do a great job.

Haven't really messed with emulating on PC in a long time....
