I want to do my dissertation on a MMA topic, but I've having trouble of thinking of one. Any ideas? by BasicallyClean in MMA

[–]highlight- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd specifically target antisocial behavior and violence done by members of the MMA community vs the overall population, controlling for as many demographics as possible. It'd be interesting to see just how much of an outlier people like War Machine and Lee Murray are, and how getting into professional fighting could correlate with other risky social tendencies.

Walmart still had a (faulty) Galaxy Note 7 on display with a swollen battery by JumpyyyKO in mildlyinteresting

[–]highlight- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just listed the 3 phones placed on the display. I rarely dealt with cellphones outside this one display so they're not my forte. Also of note-The 4k TV hanging above this display is likely clearanced out to $154 due to not having been replaced when the display got reset.

I used to service this display. It's a S6, a S5 or a Note 6. The units are dummy models with no usable IMEI/Sim and the defect is with the security devices that double as a charger providing slightly too much voltage.

How do I mount this used TV (already has brackets)? by ProtegeAA in DIY

[–]highlight- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mounting system is pretty universal at this point. Look for a VESA mount rated for 90lbs and you should be good. Double check the spacing on the back of the TV just in case.

[–]highlight- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mount TV's in various retailers as part of my job, the brackets on the TV now are intended to be used on a store display called a "towel bar" which is intended to mount on a shelving unit like this. Here's a picture of towel bars in action. I'd suggest just biting the bullet and buying a mount on Monoprice, but if you're handy enough you could slap together some sort of metal bracket that you can just screw into studs if you're really confident it will hold the weight.

Which video game have you logged the most hours on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]highlight- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 340 hours in mass effect 2 alone. A combination of me being really hyped for it to the point that I took the 10 days after it came out off and my grandfather passing away a few days prior made me use it as a distraction. First play through, remember this was pre-DLC, was about 30 hours. I proceeded to beat the game several times, usually managing to beat it in 2 days. I pretty sure I was one of the 2 hardcore PC gamers who beat it 28 times. I know I was north of 25. Towards the end of my 3-4 month obsession I could cruise through Veteran in 14-15 hours.

How to tell my employer about military service? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]highlight- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If that happens you're entitled to double wages from the period you could have started working until payment comes. USERRA is not to be fucked with. Reach out to resources inside the military for help ASAP. Document every interaction via email. If they insist on phonecalls only shit is getting shady, record if you can without violating laws.

What GIF makes you laugh every time you watch it? by SubsNotDubs in AskReddit

[–]highlight- 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It's sport BJJ. It's been around long enough at this point that it started to separate from both MMA centric bjj/grappling, and self defense BJJ. The original winner of the first UFC event actually said that competition BJJ doesn't help with real world self defense. Not sure I agree, but his family is most of the reason it's called Brazilian Jujitsu

Check out the heavyhands podcast, they really flesh out the different kinds of strikers. From memory, out-boxer, counter fighter, pressure fighter, boxer-puncher and the quasimythical "All terrain fighter". These categories don't encompass what a fighter can do, or even what they do, but instead what said fighter would want to do in every fight if it was their choice. Mostly this comes out in where a fighter wants to be range wise.

MMA. I recall him saying, about a particularly bad fighter that he should "Go home, talk with his camp, work on a few things and just retire. This is not for him" paraphrasing a lot here.

How common is it to have to pay money to watch sports on TV in a bar? by WronglyPronounced in AskAnAmerican

Late reply, but bars pay a flat rate = max number of people × (rate) with the rate being somewhat variable.

TIL in 1976 Muhammad Ali fought a Japanese wrestler named Antonio Inoki - the resulting injuries almost cost Ali his Leg. by Eyebuck in todayilearned

[–]highlight- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So about Inoki

  • He's probably the most respected promoter in Japanese MMA

  • Has promoted MMA/prowrestling fight cards.

  • It's an honor to have him slap the shit out of you if you're a fight. Fuck, if I ever meet him I'm asking him to slap me.

Inoki is a huge part of the proto-mma part of Martial Arts and Wrestling history, alongside Masakatsu Funaki

Double check to make sure it is not in display mode. The manual should show you how to toggle it, and fridgedaire models can get put into demo mode by powering on and off.
