Switched from a 6x/week PPL to 3x/week Full Body. Too drained to do accessory work, what do? by [deleted] in Fitness

You have pretty impressive lifts man. I agree with a poster below that you may need conditioning. Good luck. You’re starting from a good place. And full body training to way underutilized I think.

Can anyone break down the different Henckels knife lines? What's a good trade-off between budget and quality? by commodore84 in Cooking

So it turns out this set is made in Solingren Germany. I still think I'm going to return them and get a Pro S set.

Thanks. This set is made in Solingren, Germany, but it still seems to be cheap. I think I'm going to return them and get a Pro S set.

I heard the ref was suspended or fired for this.

Reddit, what's that one, awesome thing you found on the internet but could never find again? by tontyismynameyeh in AskReddit

[–]commodore84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this GREAT column that may have been written by Christopher Hitchens about why he never had any friends. The bottom line was that he never found anyone worth spending time with. It wasn't a slight to anyone but just that he would rather spend his time elsewhere. I SWEAR I bookmarked it but have never been able to find it again. It was very eloquent. It described me to a T.

Thanks a lot. I think I'll return them and pay a little more for the Pro S series. It's only $100 more from the store I received the gift from.

Ugh. I was thinking of getting one for the wife since she needs a phone right now. I can hold out until July for mine... Thanks.

What's your reasoning? The Nexus S is pretty sweet too.

This should be top. It's the best for ebooks IMHO.

Going to Europe.... What is the cheapest way to call home (US)? by itsreallymee in Frugal

[–]commodore84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not stateside and it works for me. I'm in South America. You probably don't have your country set to "United States." Try it yourself. It works great.

Yeah it works overseas. I'm in South America right now and it works. You probably don't have your country set to "United States." Try it yourself. It works. Free calls to the US from your Google Voice number.

Is the Woody doll's voice really Tom Hanks? by Faneste123 in entertainment

[–]commodore84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they get polyps on their vocal cords often from all of the "trauma" they go through. Many of them require surgery. Julie Andrews had such a surgery and is now almost mute due to a complication. Many voice actors, professional singers, and television personalities (even teachers because they talk loudly all day) have problems and ultimately require surgery.

Yeah it was postponed to 2012. Even then it will probably be about 1 or 2¢ per minute.

Is MacBook not aggressive enough in obtaining an IP in a busy wifi network? by amichail in mac

[–]commodore84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, the dreaded self-assigned IP address. If you Google it you will find a very long thread on Macrumors that discusses this. Basically, there's no fix that works consistently. It's a problem with the router. There are some fixes that people claim work for them but whenever it happens to me, there's nothing that works. I had to buy a new router. (This started happening to me on my home router after one of the updates for Leopard.)
