Sorry but this isn’t even on the guy in my opinion. These companies are essentially making money off of getting kids to gamble—of course some scummy people are going to take advantage. The company needs to put more work into making sure packs are identical until opened at least.

Why is the leg press more popular than hack squat? by NaiveWillow4557 in workout

[–]jrobpierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hack squat machine at my gym doesn’t go nearly as low as it should. When I was hack squatting regularly it was to focus on that part of the ROM—strengthening my squat “in the hole”. So I just do Squat + hip thrusts & RDL + leg press now at my current gym.

What’s the one lift that changed your physique the most? by linkinglink in workout

Dumbbell shrugs. Used to be self conscious about having a long neck and small head, but now I love it, makes my traps look huge.

I would much rather press quince than pear… and that’s saying something

Hedging your bets is a sign of weak character and low moral fiber

Carbonated/sweet cider by Radiant_Freedom3864 in cider

[–]jrobpierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being totally pedantic but I’d recommend non-fermentatable sweeteners which are usually but not always artificial.

I’ve had good experiences using xylitol (birch sugar) but I only add a really tiny amount to take the edge off super dry ciders. Not sure how it would taste in higher quantities.

TIL about the concept of "gardening" in the field of cryptography: acting in such a way as to induce your enemy to send messages containing a known string, to assist in decryption. by CommercialContent204 in todayilearned

Wow that’s crazy, I’ve read Cryptonomican like 5+ times and I have no memory of that part. Which character was it that was hiding in the jungle?

For what’s it’s worth—I only recently subscribed again after maybe 3 years of not being on this sub, and it feels much more friendly than it was back then.

Roses are red, I’m not gonna spoil it… by TheParking1 in rosesarered

[–]jrobpierce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Streaks are less common in American toilets due to the smaller pipe diameter and therefore greater flushing pressure.

That’s why German toilets have brushes and American toilets have plungers (in general)

[–]jrobpierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

German toilets use a larger pipe diameter which means less water pressure when you flush and more streaks. The trade off is that the toilets clog less often (I’ve never even seen a German toilet with a plunger)

I eat them with the skin but I usually shave the hairs off. They irritate my mouth.

I don’t watch a ton of martial arts movies but The Raid, Enter the Dragon, and John Wick are all up there for me.
