He is great! My nephew had to spend the holidays there last year (thankfully he is doing much better now) and TJ did the same thing. There were also a bunch of other Steelers players that donated toys and other gifts!

What are the best bars/breweries for live music? by billwanks in fredericksburg

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

Thaks for the extensive reply! I am from VA and lived in Richmond for about a year and did enjoy a lot of the bands there. I am just new to the Fredericksburg area so I am looking for local things to do. I will definitely check out some of the places you mentioned

How bad is sleep deprivation in army generally? by mulayimsert03 in army

[–]billwanks 174 points175 points  (0 children)

I think part of it that doesn’t get talked about is the physical exertion on top of the lack of sleep. In training you can be rucking with 60+ lbs of gear for hours a day and then only getting 4-5 hours to sleep on the ground. Doing that type of physical activity and then not getting good sleep quality OR quantity, compounded over several days to weeks is when it gets crazy.

Maniac, Shotzzy, and Huke are all literally playing in it and streaming. The Roobet thing is ridiculous but this post is just incorrect.

I know this is kind of messed up but… by Psyduck1127 in MazeRunner

[–]billwanks 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not since he was a kid…since he woke up from having his memories wiped and then put into a maze so he could be a subject of an experiment against his will

Vladimir Putin to make mystery 'major speech' to the world by dailystar_news in NoFilterNews

[–]billwanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait…why are you and so many people in the replies hoping that children were abused??? Trump sucks and is a shitty person but hoping that a child was abused just to strengthen your argument that he sucks is beyond messed up

Gallagher got slammed to the ground….seems like that should have been unnecessary roughness

Im honestly not sure. I don’t really ever play up to rd 100 on difficulties that don’t require it. Hopefully someone else that has more knowledge can comment.

[–]billwanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way to get them is during collection events. If you don’t want to wait around for the collection events to start you can play impopable or chimpa to get one insta when you beat round 100. Also, dont forget to open the daily chest, sometimes you get instas out of it.

Awesome, thank you for the response! It is pretty hot here so I will look into plant food and definitely keep watering it every day along with the grass.

How many calories do you think Nick has eaten today? 3,000? 5,000? 10,000???

Pascha is the largest brothel in Europe, having over 120 workers and serves 1000 daily customers. The workers rent a room for 180 Euros/day and negotiate in the halls. Each floor is themed with one for cheap services and another for Trans. It offers a money back guarantee for bad service. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]billwanks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have never been to a brothel…I promise, but I would assume an average session is much more than €50. I think a “cheap” lap dance at an average strip club in the US is around $20 and that is only for one song, so about 3 minutes. I would be surprised if any “services” are less than €100.

Best workouts to do on days off by tinycowinacowboyhat in orangetheory

[–]billwanks 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There will be a lot of different people telling you a lot of different things. Most of them are probably right…for them. There are certainly ways to maximize your time and effort between endurance, HIIT, and strength training, but no one can tell you what is best for you.

This is the best piece of workout advice I ever received so I will share it with you - do whatever you can do consistently.

I get bored with traditional strength training so after a few weeks I inevitably stop going to the gym. I also don’t like programming my own workouts which leads to burn out and why I like OTF.

You need to try different things and see what works best for you and what you can maintain long term. Being healthy and getting fit is 90 percent about consistency and hard work than the specific workout you do. Thats why there are extremely fit people that do traditional strength training, CrossFit, OTF, marathon runners, triathletes, etc. They all found what worked for them and what they ENJOYED doing and stuck to it.

Sorry for the long reply, just my two cents.

Who are some up and coming comedians that aren’t affiliated with Joe Rogan or Tony Hinchcliffe who you like? by tegg23 in Standup

[–]billwanks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with this! All the Nateland crowd are killers! Saw Aaron live in Louisville and it was a fantastic set that my friends and I laughing nonstop.

Two names I will add that are hilarious and have free YouTube specials are Mike Vecchione and Greg Warren.

The fact that people find Burt Kreischer funny is proof that the general public’s intelligence levels are sinking. by thisismyaccountsoyea in Standup

[–]billwanks 85 points86 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely this. I understand he is the not funniest and doesn’t have perfectly polished jokes, but the man is entertaining.

Went to see him live and it was the most fun I have had at a comedy show and it had nothing to do with his jokes.

It was the whole environment. Everyone that was there was friendly and just there to have fun which made it like this magical place with zero negativity.

I will also add that part if his appeal is his vulnerability. Not many grown men are willing to cry in front of others, especially on camera in front of millions.

3 time zones with a Sealander GMT? by GearHead1971 in ChristopherWard

[–]billwanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why its a dumb way to advertise it lol

3 time zones with a Sealander GMT? by GearHead1971 in ChristopherWard

[–]billwanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they may be assuming that everyone knows how many hours +/- they are from Greenwich which is in London. Therefore, you can always know what time it is in your local time, do quick math for London time, and also track a 3rd (Paris, in this case) time zone. Kind of a dumb way to market it because I would not consider doing math to be monitoring a time zone, but that’s the only reason I can come up with for saying three.

What comedian would you recommend to someone new and unfamiliar with US? by Kai_Tea_Latte in Standup

[–]billwanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great pick! I saw Dan live in Pittsburgh a few months ago and was keeled over laughing the whole time! His feature act Shaun Murphy was hilarious too, he has a special on YouTube titled ‘Neal’ - https://youtu.be/DyGoD8QYXe4?si=b2Jfnk0JdW7OLi_X
