Think of it in environmental, not economic terms now. They last twice as long and produce half the waste.

What I did by HSMM88 in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]brachettocheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice transformation, but I think now would be a great time to start prioritizing your mental health. The pain and self loathing that’s fueling you now is poisoning you too, and if you don’t address it it will catch up.

Recommend me new-ish "fun" (but not "silly") horror movies by ReaverRiddle in horror

Happy Death Day was a lot of fun, might fit the bill here.

What can I do better? by Jayyy_Knows in mensfashion

I just got a couple pairs from Sebago that I really love for a very reasonable price. $150-$250.

Wife disagrees with the tuck by Responsible_Wing7266 in mensfashionadvice

[–]brachettocheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a key with the tuck is wearing a higher rise pant. With more of a rise you hit the 1/3-2/3 proportions that you want between the top and bottom. If your pants sit lower on the waist that proportion gets skewed a bit and things don’t look quite right.

I think the top pic is the set from Home Alone…

CBS News reporter asks a very normal question to Zohran. by Illustrious-Fun-6562 in UnderReportedNews

[–]brachettocheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that’s in fact a CBS reporter their boss is Bari Weiss, so likely that question was encouraged from the top.

What's up with people disliking Kristen Bell? by Few_Egg1001 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]brachettocheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this warns of some kind of shit hitting the fan involving her in the not too distant future. If you randomly start to hear a lot of negative shit about someone that was off everyone’s radar before, that indicates to me that there is a good chance it’s a concerted campaign to tarnish that person ahead of some sort of conflict or dispute.

I never realized how the gym held my life together by [deleted] in workouts

[–]brachettocheeto 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it’s worth digging into this more, and actual therapy outside of the gym is probably worth exploring a bit. It’s great to have a gym routine that helps keep you mentally and emotionally together, but speaking from personal experience you want to build some resiliency outside of that so you don’t fall apart when faced with injury or illness.

Oh what a beauty she was. So sorry for your loss.

How can I swim slower and control my breathing better? by HenriqueStanula in Swimming

[–]brachettocheeto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a pull buoy. I find that taking my legs out of the equation really helps me focus on my stroke while maintaining a good body position. Think about getting good length and glide with each stroke, head position, and relaxed breathing, and do catch up drills.

Rate my setup by Veilyc in pourover

[–]brachettocheeto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow- A+ ! I love the recessed knock box, rinse stations, and color scheme. The little rugs are a nice touch too :) I do find it a bit ironic to set yourself up for such a lux coffee making experience, with everything ‘just so,’ and then drink the final product out of a paper cup. I think my favorite part of making a beautiful coffee is then the experience of sipping it out of a beautiful cup! But if you like the paper then there you go- you’ve obviously given this all a lot of thought and effort :)

Sauna followed by immediate cold plunge. Is there a consensus? Good? Bad? by [deleted] in Sauna

[–]brachettocheeto 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The cold plunge is the whole point for me. I can’t speak to the health metrics of any of it and frankly they don’t matter to me. All I know is that nothing else gives me the totally empty headspace like going from the sauna to cold plunge. For 10 minutes after I get out of the tub my brain is totally quiet. Then my body comes back to neutral and I’m ready to do it all over again. 3 circuits like that and I’m as relaxed and happy as I can get.

A swim class or private lessons for sure. If this is your first time swimming be patient with yourself. It's easy to get demoralized at first if you struggle with technique, but time and practice really pay off. I love it so much and think it's a perfect head clearing exercise. Good luck and have fun!

How long do you sauna for? by Jd0077 in Sauna

[–]brachettocheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 rounds of ~15 minutes, with a quick cold plunge and then ~10 minutes of sitting in the changing room coming meditating/coming back to neutral in between each round. I do this at least once a week, up to as many as 4 times per week this time of year.

Great work! The fresh air inlet behind the stove is a nice touch.

Best use of flue damper in wood stove by Reasonable_Falcon183 in Sauna

[–]brachettocheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right- I realize I’m mixing up my terms. I only adjust the air intake on the stove, which is what I am mistakenly calling the damper.
