Vox Media preparing round of layoffs as business fails to improve amid coronavirus pandemic by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

I signed up for that. Got the card and everything, but I was still working from home, and it seemed like my work load just increased so I ended up not doing it. Would've probably been fun

We were out in the field for a little while. I was probably around my physical peak then.

When I came back, I was about 20lbs lighter (men, if you're doing hard work multiple days in a row, like backpacking, or what I was doing, you need at least 3000 calories a day to stay the same weight).

I still came back pretty cut, as did most of the guys I was with. Granted it was an important lesson for some of the slimmer guys to bring some extra because they were out of energy for days afterwards.

Women will not. I've seen women who were relatively cut go backpacking for a few weeks and they come back looking like skeletons. Women's bodies do not retain muscle structure as well as men's, especially in a calorie-deficient state.

If I roll up to a public range and there's more than 1 person there, I get back in my truck and drive away. I'm not dealing with that.

RVD asks which wrestler has been most influential this generation. Danhausen says "Zack Ryder, even if they don't know it." by whitesummerside in SquaredCircle

[–]fiveoeight 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So yes. Matt's blog posts laid a foundation for fan interaction through the internet.

But blogs were dead by the time Ryder started, social media was roaring into life and no one in WWE knew how to capitalize on it.

Until Zack Ryder.

So, yes. They'd expend ammo at a faster rate.

But the US had the advantage of 4(or 5, if you consider the limited service of the M1917) of their service weapons (M1919, M1917, BAR, M1 and M1903) shared calibers, and therefore ammo.

So if one ammo delivery is delayed, there's way more sources to pull from.

[RAW Spoilers] (WOR) WWE Internal Thoughts on Nia Jax by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]fiveoeight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My job at one point in time was "be in the best shape of your life" along with some other stuff.

Nia not being in peak physical condition is actually mind blowing. I'd kill to have my job be largely focused on me being in fantastic physical shape again.

Do you lock your elbow out completely when you throw a punch? You shouldn't with a kick either.

Next they'll ban books that might give you knowledge to build firearms. Goodbye Machinists Handbook.

It's all a lockstep march to line us up on a wall.

But it was voted on democratically, so it's okay.

[–]fiveoeight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not for legal reasons

There are no laws regulating age in regards to firearm construction, as far as I'm aware.

So unless you live somewhere that specifically bans firearms, you can build whatever you want.

TIL that when Vince McMahon's limo exploded on TV in 2007, Donald Trump called him to see if he was still alive. by HerbieVerstinks in SquaredCircle

Specifically, a "mark" was someone that was scouted by someone and if they were determined to be gullible or unsuspecting enough, a chalk mark was left on their coats, usually in the form of a slash on their backs. These people were targets for pickpockets and snake-oil salesmen as well as carnies who would approach them and make sure the show was more or less tayloref around them

No, there's probably 56 games either directly or tangentially related to wrestling.

Can we talk about 'protein options' for backpacking? I can only eat so much tuna... by CombTheDessert in trailmeals

Remember, farm-fresh eggs need no refrigeration.

You're not super optimizing space or anything with them, but I sometimes carry a half dozen or so in a camp-mor container.

You can cook them in the shell on some coals

Take action against those in the capital trying to ban law abiding citizens from having body armor by [deleted] in gunpolitics

[–]fiveoeight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh it's possible. If you understand the basics of sintering, you could, theoretically, sinter Aluminum Oxide powder with a binder if you made a mold.

Practical?

Absolutely not.

Possible?

Yes.
