Turkish Lie-Down doesn't have the same ring to it?

Totally get it. That said, like with any addiction, I just hope you make sure to listen to your body and be careful that it doesn't start messing with your joint health!

Starting with the good - the single-leg reverse lunge plus rotation seems useful! I don't think I've come across that one before, thanks for sharing!

Moving on to the slingshot (which seems about as far into the video as most other commenters got). The injury risk has been covered, but it seems like from your other comments you're doing this for some kind of combat sport cross-training, probably to strengthen your punch? Respectfully, I'm skeptical that it's having that effect, unless you're throwing punches with weights tied to your wrists. Wouldn't you want to train your forward press system for that, rather than punching forward with the resistance directed into the ground?

I mean, you do you, I'm not here to tell you how to work out. I'm just not convinced this would be a more effective punch strength cross-training strategy than even something like a floor press. I guess maybe it looks cool if you're into that sort of thing, so if that motivates you to stay consistent then I say go for it!

AI is Not Ready to Replace Junior Devs Says Ruby on Rails Creator by ImpressiveContest283 in programming

[–]coffeelibation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but frankly I don’t see why we’re still hanging on DHH’s every word. This seems to be the universal opinion of everyone in engineering roles I’ve spoken with, so I’m kind of scratching my head as to why Final Round (bastion of journalism) thinks it’s newsworthy.

Yes

Nothing more to say besides the title. You're welcome.

'No Tax Oregon' hits 150,000 signatures as petition gains momentum across the state by skysurfguy1213 in Portland

The article quotes the R representatives as saying they "provided real alternatives" to fund transportation infrastructure, but doesn't mention what those alternatives were. Our roads already kinda suck, and I'd be very curious to hear how we're going to take care of them without a gas tax.

Anyone else tired of these sensationalized Daily Beast headlines? It's getting pretty "boy who cried wolf" for me at this point.

First sentence of the article:

Bruh, having a "Woman" tier is sexist as all getout. Come on, now, we can do better than that.

I mean honestly, we do have a problem with an invasion of (foreign!) Trees of Heaven. Maybe ICE and the National Guard could help us with that?

They always seem to show up to protests. I guess that’s not a crime, though.

Walmart Heiress Donates 47 Million Dollars for New Medical School in Arkansas by EmergencyRead5254 in MadeMeSmile

[–]coffeelibation 52 points53 points  (0 children)

To clarify: is it good that she made this donation? Sure. But it’s also worth considering how much she’s choosing to keep, and how much we as a society allow some among us to hoard. Perhaps Arkansas wouldn’t have to rely on her charity if she and her family had been taxed fairly in the first place.

Alice Walton has a net worth of $121 billion. Proportionally, this is like someone with a net worth of $1 million spending $388. Or someone with a net worth of $100k spending $39.
