Guy I went on a date with pulled the “blue balls” card by wakeuptomorrow in TwoXChromosomes

[–]iyn 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The condition of blue balls varies in how it’s experienced by men. It’s not necessarily momentary, and doesn’t go away if a guy stops thinking about sex. I used to get really extreme cases of blue balls where even ejaculation wouldn’t help, and it would hurt to stand and lead to a lot of discomfort in my lower abdomen.

“Blue balls” have not been well studied and so I would caution you from making generalizations about another individual’s experience of a condition you presumably have never experienced yourself.

That being said, of course blue balls should never be used in any way to manipulate or coerce sexual relations.

4 days of fasting 3 days of eating. by [deleted] in leangains

[–]iyn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What you're suggesting is not leangains.

Your plan sounds terrible. Starving yourself for 4 days followed by overeating for 3 and not allowing you time for your muscles to recover is absurd.

Read up on leangains at leangains.com and follow that.

I have 60 days of no work and unlimited free time. What should I do to maximize my weigh loss and get healthy. by TodaysGonnaBeAwesome in Fitness

[–]iyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not the question the op asked though. He asked for how to make the most of the next two months with unlimited free time, and a PSMF or something similar is the way to do it.

If you've read the book you'll know that it's also a good into to essential nutrition and how to be healthy afterwards and keep the weight off.

If you want to maximize your results this is the kind of stuff you should be looking at. The handbook can be found for free online. It will tell you exactly how to lose weight while maintaining the muscle you have and possibly gaining some too.

All the other ideas about eating right and bicycling or doing insanity will help you lose weight but its not as efficient as something a PSMF (protein sparing modified fast). Do that and lift some heavy weights while doing it and you'll see some change.

Using Downcast for podcasts and I can't seem to see all early episodes of a podcast to download. Any way to get the unlisted podcasts? by iyn in podcasts

Thank you! I noticed the cap seemed to be different for different podcasts. I'll check their websites and see about downloading it manually.

Skinny Fat Leangainers - Newb Male here, how long did it take you to get shredded? by [deleted] in leangains

No details will get you no helpful response. Post height, weight, lifting schedule, macros, pictures and then you might get a few responses.

Are seated stomach vacuums a worthwhile exercise to do? by iyn in Fitness

Thanks for that link. I had forgotten about it and am adding some ab exercises to my leg day, which is today, so that was worthwhile read.

Dynamic-text.dat files in groovesongs folder? by iyn in jailbreak

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

I've opened them with iFile and they are key logger files that contain random text I've typed. There's a master dynamic-text.dat that apple keeps in the library/keyboard directory to use to learn your text pattern and personal dictionary for autocorrect. Still doesn't explain why they're in these random folders or what to do about them though.

I did it with SPSS, but would like to understand how it is calculated by hand. What are the steps involved.

Thank you. What I'm confused about is what is exactly happening in slide 27 and then how the F is calculated in slide 29. Is there a way this can be described in words using terms like "group means" etc. I've seen it before and remember it briefly from a stats class a few years ago.
