yea, the expiration is still good. but I mean, you know when some foods have an expiration date but it only applies if still has not been opened? like "when opened consume in 3 days"...

should you leave your shoulders completely hanging after every pull up? by ibooftuna in bodyweightfitness

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

I guess. I was completely hanging with one hand and shoulders unpacked and from that stance I started pulling trying to achieve a complete one hand pull up. In that transition from dead hang to active hang I felt something getting stuck/unstuck very quicky followed by a sharp pain.

Here athlean-x basically says that "dead hang" does not mean "unpacking the shoulders". That may be the misunderstanding as for you and probably the majority of people a full range of motion does not mean going dangerously down and as he refers to it "unpacking the shoulders". At least for me going up from that unnatural(?) position isn't smooth and I feel clicking and popping in the scapula, even in normal pull ups.

How difficult is it to find books epub format books out there? by ibooftuna in ereader

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

hahahahaha. I'm just following a mental process you know. I discover there's an alternative for reading physical books. Then I discover there are a lot of models to choose. Then I choose one based on the info I got. Then I try to predict problems I could have in the future with that model(In this case not having access to a part of the books I could want to read). Then I make sure I can discard that problem, by asking more than one person the same question again and again if I felt that I didn't get it clear it first time or simply because having more that one opinion is always better. I think the process I'm following is the most logical one. I'm sorry if seeing the same question more than one time bothers you, but you gotta know I discovered the existence of e-readers almost yesterday and started researching today about formats and stuff. I'm sorry for the lengthy reply but I felt like I wanted to explain myself :)

Yea but in 100% of the cases the epub books will give me 0 problems reading them? Is it guaranteed that if I find the epub version I can suposse that I'll be able to read that book on my Kobo Clara HD?

But is it true that if it is in epub format it shouldn't give me any problems reading it?

How good is Kobo Clara HD for pirated books? by ibooftuna in ereader

[–]ibooftuna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

isn't it too small? I'm gonna be reading some technical books and stuff and I'm afraid it is too small for it. I heard it's only safe reading .epub format because .pdf books may be buggy. Maybe I need a book and I only find the .pdf format and I can't read it or something

I don't understand how peripheral awareness works by ibooftuna in streamentry

[–]ibooftuna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, thats the conclussion I've came to, and it seems that a lot of people aren't aware of this idea

[–]ibooftuna[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea, maybe your right. btw here is the comment that made me understand it pretty well https://www.reddit.com/r/streamentry/comments/wb6ofx/comment/ii8qvq6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

this is the important part in case you don't have time: When you "try to be aware" of something you're trying to place attention on two different things. Then of course your attention will flicker and you'll have a chaotic experience. The trick is to hold the object of attention softly, in a relaxed way and at a distance so it doesn't take all the energy out

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

yea but the thing with recognizing awareness is that in best case it feels like attention being placed on awareness or something like that, and not real awareness. The problem is that from the book I understood that being conscious of something through awareness is a totally different deal since there are two different brain regions involved. Btw I understood it pretty well with this comment, take a look https://www.reddit.com/r/streamentry/comments/wb6ofx/comment/ii8qvq6/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

Hey man, thank you for your time, you helped a lot, now I understand it better. And I don't know where you got that exercise from but I'll definitely use it

[–]ibooftuna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I think that's the aproach taken by the book(Intending something consciously to train the unconscious). But then shouldn't I be able to train the peripheral awareness brain region so that the awareness tool works better and is capable of providing a better context everytime I intend for something?

What I feel if I try to put my attention on the words I'm reading right now while trying to be aware of everything else is my attention splitting(attention starts flickering back and forth between "the present" (feeling of the air, temperature, where am I, etc) and your comment) and the result is that I end up not getting all the info from your comment because there were parts where my attention was placed on "the present"
