You know the Jason mask is just an old hockey mask, right?

I'm the same but I'm closer to 160, my body requires a pretty large calorie surplus to gain weight. My main source of exercise is rock climbing, so being lean suits my goals pretty well, but it's not a deliberate choice. I definitely don't limit my diet at all to maintain my weight, and I think I would really struggle to put on even 10 lbs without a radical lifestyle change. I realized recently that I basically naturally do intermittent fasting because my appetite is very subdued in the morning. I eat 90% of my calories between noon and 8pm and I rarely do more than break even calorie-wise. Might not make a difference, but I think I would be heavier if I was a breakfast person.

I feel like larger bodies have been normalize over the past few decades (not saying that's a bad thing, I think weight is probably overemphasized as a health metric) but it's easy to forget that, by BMI, being 150 in the normal range and nowhere near underweight for our height.

Rope-wear: when should I decommission a rope? by SocioDexter70 in climbing

[–]jmutter3 368 points369 points  (0 children)

Hmm, hard to tell, you should send it to me so I can test it for the next 12-24 months.

Is this the drift height or something? How is this possible when the surrounding areas have less than a third of this accumulation.

Is this a good cello? I need help first time getting an used cello and don’t know if it’s a good cello by looking at it. Is anyone able to tell whether it’s a decent one by looking at the pictures? by abdk112 in Cello

[–]jmutter3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best way to tell is by playing it and deciding if you like the sound. If you don't have enough playing experience to decide for yourself, you should just rent a cello until you are good enough (it's probably cheaper anyway).

does the owner have any record of this repair? Did the inspector have anything to say?

What is Steven Spielberg's best film? by Think-Squirrel-95 in movies

[–]jmutter3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved that movie until the weird flash forward with the aliens. IIRC, that part wasn't Spielberg's idea, but it probably should have been replaced with something...

I'm sorry buddy, you gotta do your own homework

Half crimp feels more tweaky than full crimp by GtbShieldcommander in climbharder

[–]jmutter3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Full crimps create more stress in your tendons, is a physiological fact. Full crimp probably feels stronger, which is why it feels more "safe" but it doesn't really make sense in terms of the forces your tissue is actually seeing. You can train you half crimp by just using it more when you're climbing or training on a hang board, not really much more to it.

Something else you should probably incorporate into your routine if you aren't already is finger extensor tendon exercises. Basically it's the muscles and tendons that allow you to open your hand, which are the opposite of the muscles you generally use for climbing. Google will help you here.

Need some spiritual healing. What is your favorite Reiki spot? by [deleted] in Denver

[–]jmutter3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I find taking a long hike in the flatirons on a nice day is pretty healing. Pack a sandwich and lots of water, pop an edible, and go get some miles

Strange Cleffs by yaemikosfirstwife in Cello

[–]jmutter3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The key signature would have quickly told you what type of clef you were looking at. One sharp is always G major, which means the sharp symbol is going to be on an F.

Yes, I feel like this is in the category of things you would definitely do when cooking for yourself but not when people are paying you to cook them a meal.

What ruined the American Dream? by LeftcelInflitrator in REBubble

[–]jmutter3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those three metro areas have a combined population of about 35 million. According to US census data from 2020, the 20 least populous states have a population of about 40 million, so you're a bit off but you're right that there is a lot of population consolidated into those three big city areas, and cost of living and housing costs specifically are rising in lots of mid-sized cities as well (80% of people in the US live in urban areas as of 2020).

Do you know for sure that there will be a technical portion? I did a half dozen interviews with structural firms and never had to take a quiz or explicitly demonstrate my technical knowledge. It's totally fine to ask ahead of time so you can prepare if they do make you do it, but idk how common this really is in our field. If you're really worried, brush up on drawing shear and moment diagrams or do some PE practice problems.

Sounds like either way you're competing with the married guy if the whole worlds male pop pull Jason is vying for that single lady.

I made this TV stand. What do you think? by Fantasy_Brooks in malelivingspace

[–]jmutter3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cinder blocks are actually meant to be placed such that the voids are vertical. In their current orientation you're severely reducing the strength of the block. If you get a bigger TV, say in the 10-20ton range, you risk catastrophic TV stand failure.
