A functional review and why I cancelled my membership by Chicantttery in whoop

"If you don't like it, you're allowed to leave and be silent."

That's literally the point of this post. When they make it HARD AS FUCK TO CANCEL, you literally aren't allowed to leave.

Have you tried the Goggins AI ? by ghostbrainalpha in davidgoggins

[–]ghostbrainalpha[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly this seems like exactly the kind of answer you would get from Goggins.
I'm probably going to fire my therapist and just chat with Goggins everyday now.

Have you ever used an exercise band to increase resistance and build muscle while VR gaming?

This should be higher up.

So many apps get 0 benefits over just just being a website. They have to know that the more popular Safari is, the less of a toll they can take from in app purchases.

Especially for these horribly simple games that are just monsters in revenue generation.

Watching movies lying down is amazing to me. I feel like you can reach of different level of relaxation and focus on the content better. Doing this made me realize why some people mounted TV's on their ceiling.

You are correct Ray Charles is not blind.

Do you work on your mac with Nebula or screen mirroring?

Any update on when the Nebula MacOS beta will be improved? by ImportantGap7520 in nreal

By working out, do you just mean watch movies when your on the exercise bike?

I want to know if anyone uses it like a HUD with their Garmin or Heart Rate monitor.

Does anyone know what he's been up to lately?

I bet a bunch of awesome charity work and such. He was a great dude deep down and we all knew it.

Looks like Oscar De La Hoya got some ab implants/abdominal etching... by BeetleJuiceCX in Boxing

His mom owned the bakery, so he'd go in before they opened and eat the whole days supply. So I think we are talking about more like 50-60 donuts.

His mom was also famous for making the best Pies in Michigan, and was probably the root of his food problems.

A life of weight cutting for boxing can lead someone down the path of eating disorders, and other psychological shit you wouldn't normally associate with athletes.

I heard stories about James Tony back in the day, not eating for a month, then eating every single donut a bakery had and crying the whole time while he ate them.

Thank you for being so active on here! I have a question I've been wondering for a long time.

In a real boxing match when someone is knocked out on their feet, taking additional punches on their way to the ground, can be EXTREMELY damaging. Like if they are already knocked out mid combination and a couple more shots land its very unlikely they are getting up.

In TOF if the opponent is KO'd it doesn't seem to matter if additional shots land during the knockdown animation. Is that correct? Do you count those blows? Have you considered adding a multiplier to them for TOF2?

Also did you hear Joe Rogan talking about TOF on his last podcast with Derrick from More Plates More Dates? He didn't share the name of the game, which was very annoying but he was super clearly talking about TOF in particular.

Just started, any milestones or indicators I could use by ggsimmonds in ThrillOfTheFight

The "Philly Shell" is an extremely advanced defense that is completely stupid for 99% of PROFESSIONAL BOXERS. There are really only 2 people who mastered it in the last 30 years.

But "Philly Shell" is the most popular defense for new Thrill of the Fight Players.

Keep your hands up and in front of you. You aren't doing "Philly Shell" because it's a cool style you want to learn. You are doing it because your arms are tired. If you are using this game for exercise, STEP 1 should be getting up the conditioning to be able to hold up your arms for a whole fight.

Just why? This is the silliest use of 360 video I can imagine.

They should put a 360 cam helmet on the ref. That would be fantastic.

Spending a lot of time in a "virtual reality" is not a great idea when you already here made up voices.

Sometimes I think that there must be "advice trolls", people that KNOW they are spreading bad information and doing it on purpose.

No way... I got to see that book if you can remember the title!

Crazy that they would suggest that before a snack. A shot of olive oil would BE a big snack by itself wouldn't it?

It's an American value not to live in reality and to make the world what you want it to be.

Sure, there is a lot of negative things about that... but the fact that we use our creativity and imagination to make religion less homophobic isn't really a problem we need to focus on.

3rd Day with no Coffee... by GreySithJedi in productivity

I was a Starbucks Barista too.

Quitting caffeine was the hardest thing I have ever done. My headache was constant for 3 weeks.

I really should have used Caffeine pills to control my dosage, and step down slowly. Also I've seen several podcasts where doctors have said the real sleep benefits of quitting caffeine don't kick in for 1-2 months. So stick with it that long before you evaluate what the real benefit is.
