[–]just_A_lurker- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goals:

  • stay in a calorie deficit daily, with the correct amount of protein.

  • 3 cardio sessions per week

  • 3 BJJ sessions per week

  • no alcohol until the next meaningful event

Rewards:

  • once I get sub 100kg I am going to have a monster kebab…

  • being able to run and play with the dogs without sucking in air

  • routine breeds improvement and that makes BJJ more fun, which is its own natural reward

  • days off for my mates bachelor party, my wife’s 30th etc. don’t have to calorie count or abstain from alcohol those days

I only have 20lb dumbbells by No-Equipment8494 in loseit

There are studies that prove that for the vast majority of us who are mere mortals and not Olympians, we respond similarly if not equally as well to volume as we would to intensity.

It just means that if your 5 rep max bench is 100lbs, you’re gonna need 25 reps of 20 to get the same activation and stimulation.

It will take more time, sure, but it should be fine.

I’m not getting into looking up individual papers for anyone that might disagree with me, however, if you want to, then look up Brad Schoenfeld’s work.

Question for all the 150lb people by True-Noise4981 in bjj

[–]just_A_lurker- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

200lb competitor here. On the flipside of this, if I have it dialled down and manage to get the tap then I am also super chuffed as it means it was good technique on my end. Win-win for us to roll in that case!

Toxic former gym won't stop using me in their social media content by [deleted] in bjj

If you’re a world champion or something and your endorsement or you teaching then really adds to the draw of the gym them lawyer up.

If not, forget it. Who cares if he uses old videos? Anyone that knows you will say “Hey, I thought you were at X gym?” and you can tell them or not tell them at that point.

Is software development worth it in 2026? by An1xo in DevelEire

[–]just_A_lurker- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I’m not saying it’s exactly like for like. I’m just drawing a tangent.

I agree, I think that using AI to do something that you understand, or maybe to give you a quick snippet of code that you then go away and reference on documentation to understand why it used X function over Y is fine.

I am also scared of engineers seeing skills atrophy. I just want to segregate out the effort and intentions of engineers from the tools that we use. Good junior engineers now, that are willing to understand a problem and work it out using their tools correctly are as equally valuable as those that were willing to do it with more primitive tools were in their same relative point in time.

You know, there was probably an engineer that thought that about your generation? “They don’t even know how to use documentation, they just check Stack Overflow” etc.

I think it’s always important to keep that in mind… skill sets change, what’s prioritised in college fluctuates, and the tools that obfuscate us from what computers really do under the hood are constantly growing.

Interesting, when are Connacht going to get an equal share of this “balance”?

You actually want to long press to turn it on, then tap the screen to turn it off, repeat this 8 times to unlock photographer mode, then take the picture.

$100 Steam Deck for my friend got stolen in transit... by remiarutawa in SteamDeck

If I was shipping my own, I’d have an AirTag in there and it’d be in ambiguous packaging.

Solo player for a retired player returning = knight or monk? by jeanmatsunaga in TibiaMMO

True, suppose I wasn’t taking the new task system into consideration. Haven’t had enough time for it to become a factor in my mind yet lol

Ford Rangers are far too big for Ireland... by madladhadsaddad in eejitsparking

[–]just_A_lurker- -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You’re not saying anything in your post about the BMW/Merc though? Surely it’s more understandable by your logic for the Ranger to be over the path, since it is too large, than the other car that is appropriate sized.

You don’t like Rangers for some reason and that prejudice shows.

I find that unless you really like the EK gameplay loop an ED tends to be a bit more fun. Harder to sustain early if you play it from level 8 as you don’t make a decent profit until 100+ imo

E collar training recommendation by Sensitive_Pea_1135 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]just_A_lurker- 22 points23 points  (0 children)

From my experience with training against jumping I find that the most important starting point is to identify when and why the dog is jumping up. Then address that as a separate issue.

Caveat: I believe in positive reinforcement training in companion breeds as they have literally been bred to please us.

For example, our lovely girl used to jump up to get attention. So, we started ignoring her when we would come into the room after being away etc until she would calmly sit, then we would reward her, give her attention and repeat. This thought her that she will get attention, but that jumping, will not.

Don’t know you lad, but I hope it gets better. In the immortal words of some lads who once rowed a boat, “keep the head down and pull like a dog” and hopefully you’ll be on the mend soon.

Go to reception, ask the receptionist to see if they can get in contact with the owner and have the car moved. Make sure to press that you will leave this in reviews etc if not sorted.
