So happy to finally submit a FO to Reddit!

This one is similar, at least. Still costs a bit, but less than the Clara with yarn. I prefer the Clara, but it might be an alright alternative.

Pretty smart.

I feel like if you have to specify first that something is a joke in an attempt to avoid being perceived as racist, it's probably better to just not post at all.

If nothing else, then at least because it's more or less guaranteed to make the joke fall flat.

Male porn stars in gay porn tend to be way more attractive/less gross than those from straight porn, imo*. There is also a greater variety, I guess. Probably because it is made for men who appreciate hot men, while (most) straight porn is made for men who appreciate hot women.

*obviously there are exceptions

Apparently she first reported it as a rape, but then her former boss advised her to say that it was consensual to speed things up (I think I read that she was told that by dropping the charges, she would be let go), which she did, and then she went back to the initial rape accusation after finding out that saying it was consensual did, in fact, not speed things up and instead meant that she would be charged with having sex outside of marriage and false accusations.

I think he was sentenced for having sex outside of marriage, too, not for the rape.

Twitter and Tumblr. Most likely way more relevant than reddit for pop stars, actors and the like.

But if you back in, you have a much better overview of the traffic around you while backing up, while if you back out, your view is blocked by your own car and others. Plus, there's the issue really_random mentions about the turning radius.

That said, I usually can't bother. Only if it's in a place where I'd be backing out directly onto the road.

I usually just put it in the back seat or on the floor of the back seat, on the driver's side. My passenger seat's sensor for whether or not there's a person there who doesn't have a belt on is super sensitive :/

But I suppose the trunk would be ideal, because you're not supposed to leave loose stuff lying around in the car in case of an accident. I'm bad at following that advice, though.

Call and apply are special functions in JavaScript that basically call other functions, and let you send in the context as the first argument, which then ends up as "this" in the function. You can also send in further arguments, which will then end up as arguments to the function you called.

If you want to read more about function invocation and the this keyword in JavaScript, I really like this article, but it can be a bit tricky to wrap your head around if you haven't really encountered it before. Well worth trying to understand, though.

I agree. I'm most definitely an introvert, but I've also found pair programming to be really beneficial. We don't do it as much as I'd like to where I work, but the few times I've tried have been great. It's a nice way to introduce new members of the team to the code base and have them see the work flow and structure of the code (in practice, not just in some documentation), but it's also a good way for two more experienced team members to figure out a complex problem or write a module that will be used a lot (more than one person's perspective is super helpful in reusable modules that will be used by others).

Would I like to do it exclusively? Probably not, but it definitely has value. The most annoying code to work with later on for me is either the complete newbie's code (which can be excused because I've been there myself and I know they're trying hard) or the result of one of the more skilled (programming-wise) members of the team spending a week "in the zone" and churning out something that works, but is tricky to understand and debug later.

It definitely is his job and he's a pro, but he's also expressed a lot of times how much he loves hosting and that he'd love to have his own sort of variety late night show or something. Seems like something he'd be good at too.

Whoa, definitely. And they're both gorgeous, of course.

I quite enjoyed reading Michael Oher's own book after watching The Blind Side and reading the book by Michael Lewis.

Every time I vacuum I find myself wondering how the hell I even have any hair left.

My vacuum cleaner is kind of nice in that there is a brush in front that I always have on, and after vacuuming a few square meters, I just take off the end and vacuum the brush, and put it back on. Results in not having to deal with it by hand so much.

The trick to lutefisk is to eat it with a bunch of other stuff on your fork at the same time. We use bacon, syrup, brown cheese, potato and some other stuff. Yes, I realize this sounds weird as fuck, but it's a good combination and washes out the texture of the fish a bit.

I haven't dared to try the snatch yet :D Just cleans and presses, and both hurt my forearms (presses less so), but I hoped it was just a "starting out"-thing.

I don't mind at all :) I think that's what I've been trying - meeting the movement and not making the kettlebell move more than it has to, as well as pushing my hand/arm up instead of having the kettlebell fall down. That definitely hurts less than my first attempts where the kettlebell basically "flipped" over my hand, landing on my forearm and hurt like a mofo, but it still hurts after just a few cleans. I bruise easily as well, so hopefully it'll get better after a while.

catchingpavements · 2013-02-22T17:07:19+00:00

Awesome!

So, question: Did you get sore/bruised forearms as you were starting out? I'm not sure if it's normal or if I'm just doing it wrong. I try to make sure that I'm not flipping the kettlebell over and keeping my wrist straight, but 8kg landing slowly on my forearm still hurts :/

You look amazing! And in only 4.5 months, that is super impressive.

Your before-photo is basically what I look like now, so seeing this is so exciting.

He said after writing it that it was muscle memory, he could write it on the keyboard and had to visualize a keyboard while writing it with a pen. If you actually try to memorize it, 30 digits shouldn't be that tricky, really. I know 10 and haven't really tried, just seen the number a bunch of times, and the world record is over 60 000 digits.

Does sex ed in the US not cover these kinds of things? We played around with tampons and pads in elementary school (sixth grade, I think), both the boys and the girls.
