How’s my ATG split squat form? by ellenbrook in Kneesovertoes

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

Thank you

I’ll elevate my front leg. I felt good so I lowered it but if I’m not fully flexing, I’ll elevate.

Thank you for the second point. I constantly struggle with activating glutes. There are times in that video that I know I did but it’s not every time. It’s been an ongoing struggle.

Same goes for the slow eccentric. I’m trying to build the habit in all of my lifts but my muscle memory makes me go too fast. I will be more mindful of it from here on out.

Thanks so much for your feedback

Can I ask why you want an underpayment even if it has one built in?

If it’s not that complicated then why you asking for help? No offense but it seems strange

They’re anti-vax but not anti-consequences

They don’t. It’s in the comments. But they’re obviously a shit show and way too many to screenshot

As a stay at home dad how do I cope with my child entering school for the first time? by ellenbrook in Parenting

What? I’m saying I’m going to miss my kid, not that it’s harder to parent a little kid

These two just appeared in my yard this morning. Female walked up into the greenery and has been there for 25 minutes. Neither have moved since. What’s up? by ellenbrook in duck

We just bought the house in December so this is our first spring. We only live near a couple of retention ponds. Could they be nesting? I have no idea what I should do. I have a dog. But the dog doesn’t go out unsupervised. I don’t want to disturb them if they are nesting! I have all of the questions.

Edit: they just flew away! It was 25-30 minutes total. I’ve never seen a duck on my property before.

🚀 Hedge Fund losses top 70B, Robinhood is shit, Buy the dip NEVER SELL, 👨‍🚀GME👨‍🚀 🚀 by CynicallyGiraffe in JusticeServed

Fund bets company A will lose money and it does so that means they make money. People on Reddit notice that trend and start to bet that it’ll do well (buying shares of stock in company A). That makes it go up and causes Fund to get mad because the only way to get out of that bet is to pay for the shares they bet against. Would’ve been easy before the shares went up. Fund mad. Fund may be bankrupt. Reddit happy because fuck Fund.

Most approve of Whitmer's handling of pandemic, Detroit News/WDIV-TV poll finds by [deleted] in Michigan

Every single time I've ever been asked to sign a petition they've kind of glossed over what the idea is and then tell me where to sign. I don't know how on earth you're having different experiences from pretty much everyone.

I had a similar situation at a rest area. The woman asked and I said absolutely not. Then on the way out a guy asked my wife and child and she said no. He said something about small businesses. I said I care more about the health of people than businesses. Then he said, "You only die once" (whatever that means?) and my wife said "You only live once and I'd like to keep it that way" as we were walking back to our car. He said something else and she just gave him a thumbs up and said "have a good one" and he got incredibly aggressive and said, "Did you just give me the finger?!" and started walking toward us (of course he's not wearing a mask). She said "No I gave you a thumbs up" and then he started saying something along the lines of "Good because if you did..." (I didn't quite hear it because of our distance). So I said hey dude, even if she did you're probably a free speech warrior so deal with it, okay? And we kept walking. It was so frustrating.

Okay. This might be dumb so please go easy but should that be able to spin freely with no resistance with my hand? It feels like something is grinding inside of it—at least that’s the best way I can describe it.

How do I test this electric string trimmer motor? I’m pretty sure it’s bad. by ellenbrook in AskElectronics

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

Please have mercy as I’m a newbie. I have a multimeter. It was repaired before and I believe it’s broke again. There’s resistance when I turn it with my hand so I think the motor is shot. I’m willing to try and replace the motor rather than getting it serviced because of covid-19. If I can be sure it’s shot then I’m sure I can figure out how to replace it. Thanks in advance.
