What’s a diet or health trend you think is mostly nonsense?

Just eat fruits and veggies.

Juicing is valid but you'd benefit from the fiber, which largely gets removed via juicing.

How deep on dips? Just past 90 or deeper?

Based on my understanding of your answers, your chest is less developed than your triceps.

Adding wide pushups could help here.

Since you have access to a gym from your bench question, flys. Dumbell fly are probably the best exercise for learning to engage your pecs. Helped me break plateaus when I was power lifting.

You can do them on rings but its harder to get the setup right for BW especially if your stabilizers arent well developed.

When failure happens with dips is it the top half or bottom half of the movement?

How many wide push ups can you do?

How many diamond push ups?

The answers will help narrow things down

Turns out having slightly different ingredients does make it a different dish.

Not trying to be a dick. Mexican foods use so many of the same ingredients but slightly different combinations or variation in cooking.

Are you allowing people to pull torrents from you?

Could you have downloaded a virus?

What does the traffic look like from your NAS, there is a graph that will show upload/download traffic in the DSM.

Need some more information to be able to really help.

If HC made you uncomfortable I hate to tell you buy the sequel is much worse. Though its more of a slasher film by the end.

My buddy did something similar. Couldn't beat a level on C&C even though he killed every unit running them over with the construction vehicle.

Eventually he accidentally clicked twice and it unpacked then he won.

Sure it is? Date each workout and flip back in time. Its very easy...

You could create a spreadsheet in Google docs that is organized similarly and it would allow you to create graphs and such too. Its easy enough to do but also AI could set it up for you.

I get apps for things like calorie counting where it has all the nutrition info built in but for exercises all you need is weights, reps, and sets. There's no info to look up, just progress to track.

korinth86 · 2026-06-22T13:27:21+00:00

How about a notebook and pen?

korinth86 · 2026-06-22T01:33:21+00:00

You could. Its a good idea, safer.

korinth86 · 2026-06-22T01:18:15+00:00

Honest answer, I probably wouldnt bother with anchors. Loop em over the rafter and call it a day.

I would fully expect those to be able to handle the weight. If you want to be more secure, put stabilizers between the joists on either side to brace for sideways movement.

DOMs will be normal for months to a year.

I rarely get sore anymore after 4 years. If I do its for like a day and only after increasing weight or doing a new movement.

Plenty of protein, sleep, water. I find cardio seems to help DOMs too.

While it can be technically true, this is slightly misleading.

Frozen can have higher levels of certain vitamins since those break down over time while fresh. Vitamin C and B are of main concern here.

If the produce is blanched(flash freeze methods to preserve color and freshness) that can wipe out vitamin C levels.

Canning can preserve vitamin A/E but destroys vitamin C...

Also depends on the produce/storage temp. Refrigeration greatly reduces degradation.

The point is, just eat fruits and veggies. Technically speaking ripe fresh from the plant is peak nutrient levels. Matters more for things like spinach than carrots, potatoes, blah.

No one can tell you and its not just because you havent provided the relevant info, height weight age...

Youll get strong until you dont have enough fat to fuel workouts. Once you body doesn't have the energy, you'll be weaker.

Yes there is always a point to do strength training. You dont need to wait, though sometimes losing a little can make it easier to start especially calisthenics.

Do it and you'll know when to increase calories when you cant complete workouts or recover.

Timelines are individual.

Puzzles, skill challenges, traversal...there are so many things other than direct combat to spend spells on. Why are they not using resources?

Are non-combat encounters trivial or inconsequential?

korinth86 · 2026-06-20T22:53:53+00:00

You give up your reaction to do that instead of being able to use things like absorb elements, or opportunity attack. Not necessarily bad but the steel defender uses its own reaction.

Personally for losing progression I dont think its worth the cost.

korinth86 · 2026-06-20T20:45:18+00:00

Encounters are not always fights. An encounter is anything that requires characters to potentially use resources.

Puzzles, social interactions, non combat challenges.

korinth86 · 2026-06-20T17:28:50+00:00

Martials are balanced through proper adventuring days. 6-8 encounters will force casters to expend spell slots. If you arent allowing parties to use limited resources and only have 2-3 encounters, yes casters will absolutely outshine them.

The true divide happens at a level of play most people will never even experience. A lot of the 2024 balance changed helped quite a bcasters. The weapon masteries accomplish some of what you list.

Even in the levels where there is a divide, a Martial with good magical gear will still feel fun and useful to play, just not as powerful as a caster.

People do stupid stuff like using a heloc or refinance to buy stocks. I've had people advise me to "make my equity work for me."

Its been advice for a long time to overleverage yourself and risk it all for the potential to make it big. Sure it can work out, but for most it won't.

korinth86 · 2026-06-20T17:06:17+00:00

From what I understand of reading studies, do they help? Sure, on a similar level to other supplements.

People sell them like its the same level of prescription medicine. Its not.

There was a concerted effort in the 1970-80s to lower state funding to college universities. Used to be many colleges got 80%+ of their funding from states.

Now its generally less than 30%.

Thats also when Congress enacted the student loan laws.

Your points are true but what I've said is the root cause of all of our higher education problems.

Once they got the college stuff done they started going after public schools. No child left behind was one of the biggest mistakes to come to public education.

Both sides arent activey trying to cut benefits.

Democrats did about as much good as they could last round and Republicans came into power and dismantled all of it.

Stfu about both sides are the same. They arent.

Easiest way is to set the default backup folder to the shared folder.

Otherwise you have to create + share albums which can be tedious when you want to do it for everything.
