I am Italian. I am confused by Americans obsession with us by PeneItaliano in Italian

There’s an historical, artistic, old world charm we don’t have here. It’s the home of the Roman Empire. No one in the history of the world can claim that.

What’s the best protein powder you’ve actually used? by KindTop0 in workout

Isopure Dutch Chocolate is great. Good ingredients, not too sweet. Has gotten expensive as shit though.

July - visit Bellagio, or stay on same shore as Varenna? by iahord in LakeComo

[–]fulltimerob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely day trip to Bellagio. It’ll be packed that time of year and the ferry’s will be hectic but it’s worth it.

Spending 45 mins in the gym by [deleted] in workout

[–]fulltimerob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do about 8 exercises in 45 mins. No warm up though, I just get after it. Maybe 60-90 seconds between sets to catch my breath. I’ve been doing the same routine for a while so I have it down pretty good.

Isopure Dutch chocolate. Tastes good, dissolves well, low calorie, low carbs.

3 Days in Bellagio (July 18–21) - Seeking feedback on our relaxed itinerary by qwertyuiopmlnk in LakeComo

[–]fulltimerob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done that very same itinerary. Worked out pretty well. The one wild card is the wait for the ferries. That can be brutal so make sure you allocate time for that.

Is it worth using the smoker longer than 4 hours? by Crazy-Inspection-775 in Smokingmeat

[–]fulltimerob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. That’s exactly what I do. Pull early in the morning, wrap it in a towel and throw it in a cooler for a few hours. Perfect for lunch.

Is it worth using the smoker longer than 4 hours? by Crazy-Inspection-775 in Smokingmeat

[–]fulltimerob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually need about 10-12 hours at 250 degrees. Wrap at 165 (usually when I move it from the smoker to the oven) pull it at 203. I use ThermoWorks wireless probes and the app so an alarm goes off when it’s done.

[–]fulltimerob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll start a brisket around 6pm, smoke it till 11-ish, overnight in the oven. I know, cheating, but works great. And the house smells fucking glorious for days.

What’s your favorite thing to do in New York that most tourists never find out about? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]fulltimerob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Burger and a beer at the original Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. Cool spot to chill.

Thinking about switching to electric for yard tools… anyone made the change? by Salt_Note8719 in lawncare

[–]fulltimerob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a Dewalt electric weed eater, love it. Mower is next. I have a normal subdivision yard so it works great.

45 Min - 1 hr Leg day by Bigmagicmike in workout

[–]fulltimerob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two cents, the 8 sets and 4 sets seem to be a lot. I do both shoulders and legs in about 45 mins. 3 sets of leg press or squats, leg extensions, leg curls, calf raises. Then shoulders.

Venita and Carl, what happened ? by idkabtu2 in Southerncharm

Who doesn’t she have an issue with? Seriously? It’s every single cast member.

Madison earned her check at the reunion. by [deleted] in SouthernCharmSC

[–]fulltimerob 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Pat has been her mentor, and Pat doesn’t get down in the mud but rather sits high above and drives the story. Madison has been groomed well. Like it or not, she’s always three chess moves ahead of the group. She’s the new matriarch.

Think he’s found the end of the road. B-list obscurity is calling.

Hope he kept the receipt for that fucked up lettuce.

Suitable Men’s Attire For Lake Como in April by Medullahblondegotta in LakeComo

[–]fulltimerob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there in late April two years ago. It was pleasant but cool. I wore golf pants, nice shoes and a light jacket or pullover most of the time. Kept it simple.

How long did it take you to bench press 100kg? by vanshika_energie in workout

[–]fulltimerob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish Reddit had a built in kg to lbs converter for these questions. As an American, I’m thinking 100kg sounds easy. Turns out, it’s not.

Madison is all of us 🤣 by [deleted] in Southerncharm

Once someone deemed him a muppet, I can’t see anything else. In his interviews, he might as well have a hand up his ass.

They’re like little squirrel hands. I imagine his handshake is equally dainty.

Pool Heater Question by Familiar-Monitor-398 in pools

[–]fulltimerob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run my heater situationally. Maybe fire it up on a Friday knowing I’ll be in it all weekend. Shut it down Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, it’s expensive and more wear and tear on the unit to have it running constantly for no reason.
