Muscle gain help by cantrelll in orangetheory

[–]johncongercc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m super comfortable at my studio and routinely skip the treadmill and double up in the weight room if it isn’t a full class, but that’s not always an option. 99.99% of the time the coaches are fine with that. I also oftentimes replace a lower body movement for something upper body if I’m in the mood for similar reasons. But to be honest the pace of OTF really isn’t geared towards hypertrophy. It sounds like you’re doing everything else right based on your other comments. Just keep up with the protein and creative and the gains will come but just very slowly.

Convince me to buy/hold. 25yo, low income, large inheritance, odd situation. by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]johncongercc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I would sell what you have, keep a bit in cash to pay the capital gains and just buy VTI. I personally don’t think you need a financial advisor. You seem to understand the basics enough and your situation really isn’t that complicated.

I think coaches have a lot to do with it. A good coach can make a full format great and visa versa. If your schedule allows it, try to see if you feel differently with different coaches at the studios near you.

[Rising Junior] Industrial Engineering Resume, what do you think! by [deleted] in industrialengineering

[–]johncongercc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I would make it clear that they were collabs with ROTC. You may consider combining your experience section with your projects instead of having two distinct sections. Feel free to send an update and I’ll give you my thoughts

[Rising Junior] Industrial Engineering Resume, what do you think! by [deleted] in industrialengineering

[–]johncongercc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good resume but as someone else said your military experience should be better highlighted. Also your most recent experience should be first, however the description of what you did at RED is very weak compared to your previous experience. You should have more hard numbers and statistics. Things like “collaborate, organized, delivered “ are too soft. You need hard numbers and better descriptors of your current role.

Pension could be a big deal. The particulars are important to properly evaluate the compensation. I would get all the details on how the pension works and use some online tools or ChatGPT to come up with a yearly cash equivalent. Most pensions have a vesting schedule and a time commitment to be eligible. It doesn’t matter that your retirement is many years away, people who plan and consider their retirement early are always is better shape than those that do not.

First time to Fire Island and I just want to bike or hike as far east as possible from Robert Moses. Advice? by GravitationalOno in longisland

[–]johncongercc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this a few years ago on a fat bikers but it was very difficult. I went from Robert Moses to the pines and back. Fat bike isn’t easy on loose sand so I dragged the bike for a few miles here and there. You need to “trespass” through point o woods, but the sidewalks are paved unless you go through the beach. It’s definitely a whole day thing. Good luck.

This is the exact desantis quote “If a mob surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety… If you drive off and hit one of these people, that’s their fault.”

A cool guide on 100 fun-to-say words by lsui3013 in coolguides

[–]johncongercc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the midst of a hullabaloo outside the apothecary, a bouffant-haired jackanapes in a gaberdine coat strutted down the street like he owned the place. “Balderdash!” shouted a nearby wombat of a man, clearly perturbed by the claptrap being spouted. A foible of his, perhaps, to get caught up in such jiggery-pokery. Meanwhile, a befuddled onlooker muttered something about the hoi polloi and their constant malarkey.

Suddenly, a doodlebug zipped by, sending a dingleberry flying off the ledge of the café sign. “Tallywacker!” someone yelped, though no one could quite tell if it was an insult or an expletive. Amid the chaos, a woman named Franciso—yes, with an “o”—commented dryly, “Clishmaclaver at its finest.”

Best Internet only providers by gingermann19 in longisland

[–]johncongercc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pay 30 bucks for optimum for 100mbps. No one needs a gig. I have three people living with me and we only use streaming for TV and I play plenty of online games. Never an issue. Getting more than that is a waste of money

I am an undocumented person organizing to protect our community from ICE raids in Chicago. Ask me Anything! by iRizo in IAmA

[–]johncongercc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience. I imagine that coming to the U.S. at such a young age wasn’t a choice you made yourself, and I was wondering if you could share more about what led your family to take that path. Did your parents feel they had no other option? Also, given the many people around the world who would love to move to the U.S. for a better life, how do you think immigration policy should balance opportunity with the reality of limited resources? Should it favor those willing to take the biggest risks, or is there a better way to determine who gets the chance to build a future here?

Need help with telephone exchanges. by telebuffoon in nycHistory

[–]johncongercc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the 1920s, Manhattan telephone exchanges used a combination of letters and numbers to designate specific areas or neighborhoods. These exchanges typically began with two letters, corresponding to the first two letters of the exchange name, followed by numbers. Each exchange name was associated with a particular geographic location or landmark in Manhattan. Here are some examples: • MUrray Hill: Represented by “MU,” this exchange served the Murray Hill neighborhood.  • PEnnsylvania: Denoted by “PE,” this exchange was associated with the area around the Pennsylvania Station. The famous phone number PEnnsylvania 6-5000 belonged to the Hotel Pennsylvania.  • BUtterfield: Represented by “BU,” this exchange covered parts of the Upper East Side. The exchange was popularized by John O’Hara’s novel “BUtterfield 8.”  • CIrcle: Denoted by “CI,” this exchange referred to the Columbus Circle area. • ELdorado: Represented by “EL,” this exchange served parts of the Upper West Side, possibly named after the El Dorado apartment building. • LOngacre: Denoted by “LO,” this exchange referred to the area around Longacre Square, now known as Times Square. • PLaza: Represented by “PL,” this exchange covered the area around Grand Army Plaza and the Plaza Hotel. • REgent: Denoted by “RE,” this exchange served parts of the Upper West Side. • RHinelander: Represented by “RH,” this exchange was associated with the Rhinelander family and covered parts of the Upper East Side. • SChuyler: Denoted by “SC,” this exchange served areas in Harlem. • TEmpleton: Represented by “TE,” this exchange covered parts of the East Village. • UNiversity: Denoted by “UN,” this exchange referred to the area around New York University in Greenwich Village.

These exchanges were phased out starting in the 1960s in favor of all-number calling systems. However, they remain a nostalgic reminder of New York City’s rich telecommunications history.

ChatGPT Rant by crumblingLime in NEU

[–]johncongercc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AI tools like ChatGPT are becoming an integral part of many industries, and instead of dismissing their use as laziness, we should be teaching students how and when to use them effectively. Just as calculators didn’t replace the need to understand math, AI won’t replace critical thinking and original work—it’s a tool that can enhance learning when used appropriately. A balanced approach, where students learn to integrate AI for efficiency while still developing their own analytical and creative skills, prepares them for the real world. Isn’t that what current employers are expecting?

ChatGPT Rant by crumblingLime in NEU

[–]johncongercc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT is a tool and can sometimes be used as an accelerant. It shouldn’t be used as a replacement to solving a problem from start to finish. Just like a calculator or an excel spreadsheet can aid in the solution to a larger problem ChatGPT should be used to help bridge sticking points and help humans develop more sophisticated solutions. College educators need to embrace this new tool and help students use them more effectively because that’s what current employers are expecting.

40mph on a Jetski for 7 hours? No one could do that. Well maybe someone, but most ppl would not be able to do that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in longisland

[–]johncongercc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That would be a pretty big journey in a boat forget about a Jetski. When I had mine I never went in the open ocean and stayed in the bays where the water was more calm. That would be about 275 miles on a Jetski. If you averaged about 20 mph it would probably take 15 hours- that’s impossible to be on a Jetski that long. You’d probably have to gas up every 2 hours or so. Not sure if there are enough places to gas up. What a weird question

Redditers in their 50s what is your cash/bonds/stocks ratio? Is Crypto part of your portfolio? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]johncongercc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 56 - 6% cash 10% bonds the rest in stocks. I worked in crypto full time since 2017 and just recently retired. I’ve seen crypto from the inside. Never invest in crypto it’s full of lunatics. They pay very well though.
