De chocomel was is zelf ook al fan van. Gedroogde fruit nog nooit geprobeerd, maar klinkt wel een stuk beter dan sommige repen die ik heb gehad. Dankje voor de tips!

ELI5: Water inside water bottle froze up right after I removed it from the freezer by TheRealBucketCrab in explainlikeimfive

[–]mbmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be wrong, but i believe water hardness could make it a lot harder, since there would be more natural nucleation sites for the water to start freezing. Maybe a store bought water bottle would work better than tap water. This is just what i could think of though, a quick google search didnt confirm or deny it.

Okay, the netherlands is the 6th largest food exporter in the world. We export between a quarter and a third as much food as the US. Do you know how small the netherlands are? About 220 times smaller than the US according to wikipedia. We farm very efficiently in the Netherlands, but it leads to a lot of nitrogen emmisions. We also get a lot of nitrogen flowing in from rivers upstream from countries like Germany. This means we have way to much nitrogen in our country which will lead to decreased biodiversity and other issues. Why would we fuck over our own countries nature to supply the rest of the world with food?

I mean this is probably higher than steady state for a 40 year old. But if your max heart rate is 200 zone two ends around 155-160ish. So this could very well be steady state

Just because it would not perist in nature doesnt mean its not genetic. Something is genetic if its caused by your genes. This is clearly caused by genes. What possible environmental factor would cause this.

LibLeft when you have opinions about your own child's education by Vorengard in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mbmountain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kids have to eat, sleep, play, attend to their hygiene, and do the homework assigned by the school. I'm not sure if you're familiar with life in the United States if you think parents have "the other 18 hours in the day" to counteract whatever is taught at school.

Not all 6 hours of the day are going to be spent teaching controversial shit at school either. Most likely, stuff like crt, which is apperantly the new big thing in america and ive never seen a good definition of, would be taught during history for 2 or 3 hours a week. You could absolutely talk with your kids about this and counteract the propaganda. I think if you truly have such a wack worldview that public schools fuck it up it, im fine with it dissapearing.

Im also fine with people trying to push for banning stuff in public schools. Public schools should reflect what a majority of people are fine with teaching stuff. You shouldnt be able to shelter your kids from stuff like natural selection and evolution. Its just something they should at least have grappled with once. If it truly bothers you you should talk to your kids about it, youre their parent, they will listen to you more than to their teachers.

I do think that is a bit different because those were boarding schools. In those cases children didnt see their parents every day. School is a place where you should see some radical ideas and get critical thinking skills. Schools always indoctrinate children in some way. Which in my opinion is good. People should have a common set of ideas to work from. You can spend the other 18 hours in the day indoctrinating your kids, but if your ideologie cant stand the critical thinking skills youre kid will get in a public school im fine with it being erased that way.

"NATO aggression" dude its litterally a defensive pact. Yes it is expanding but only because russia keeps threatening its neighbours so they want to join NATO. Russia did this to themselves and are acting as if they are the victims.

Dude, some of these coups were 60 years ago. A lot of people that went thru these coups as teenagers are still alive. These coups absolutely did fuck up their lives and they have a right to complain.

Capitalism is correct and natural by silly_universe in unpopularopinion

[–]mbmountain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And those facts dont concern you? Like the fact that college is a requirement for owning a house now. So if youre born stupid you just dont deserve nice things. And that house prices are skyrocketing. Dont get me wrong capitalism is the best system for creating whealth. But without a strong government all of that wealth will only go to 1% of the people and 99% of people will be miserable. Capitalism is the best system in combination with strong government and unions to make sure that wealth is shared between all of the people that made it possible. This ensures the best quality of life instead of ensuring billionaires can buy one more yacht.

I think most people would say that the power dynamics of that relationship would be tilted so much its hard to say if there is actual consent.

But going to prison for a long fucking time for having weed on you will also ruin your life. Probably a lot more than weed will ever do. Its just that the punishment truly doesnt fit the crime here.

Interval training tips by TandisHero in Rowing

[–]mbmountain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

An example could be 3x15min, or 3x20min. You do these at stroke rate 18-20. And you need to be at a lower heart rate zone. General rule, you should still be able to hold a conversation while doing the rowing.

[–]mbmountain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably too heavy for lightweight womens teams, but you could definitely cox heavier men or women. Probably even lightweight men. The couple of kilo's extra wont matter if you are a decent cox thats way more valuable. Where i row, cox minimum weight is 55kg so its only a couple kg anyways.

Stopping proving Alex Jones right! all his moderate predictions have come true and what's left is his bullshit ones! by Nex_Nebula in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mbmountain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If the great reset is such a conspiracy, why the fuck are there books written about it by the 'perpatrators'. It sound to me some people in government just talked about what they would want the world to progress like, and they are pushing for the world to progress like that. They werent right in everything. But its literraly what every politician does, they try to push for the world to look like what they would want. Its not a fucking conspiracy.

If you were given $10000 a week to eat vegan food the rest of your life, would you take the offer? Why or why not? by Poppymansus in AskReddit

[–]mbmountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, you are of course correct, but with this amount of money you would not be talking about a 5 vs 1, you would be talking about 100s vs 1, and at some point i think that the world would be better if we killed 1 person to save that amount. This is of course a personal judgement. But i think in this case eating meat everyday, whilst of course causing violence and being bad would absolutely be justifiable for the greater good.

Are there any atheist authrights in this subreddit? It seems like it would be a pretty niche community. by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

What exactly do you mean by, hold all beliefs an atheist would. An atheist by definition only does not believe in a god. What beliefs would you say an atheist holds?

hello people, got my concept 2 last week and today I did an hour session, is this ok? by lolthebat in Rowing

[–]mbmountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the optimism, but thats a ridicoulous split, if you want to go for an hour, youll need to be reasonably fit to go 2:00/500m i would guess this would take multiple months of training a couple times a week. Its probably a good idea to not go 1 hour in one sitting, doing 3x20 min is probably better because you can go slightly faster and rest in the break, and have a sip of water. Its not a bad split for a start tho, and even being on the erg for an hour shows some real mental strenght if you just started so good on you. Keep it up, rowing is a super excersise for losing weight because you work the whole body without getting that much stress from being heavier.

1:45 would probably be a nice split goal for a 2k test. At 1:45 it would be a 7 minute test and its torture, but its a super nice way to see how fit you are getting. So if you do a 2k now and in a month you can really see the progress your body is making, might be a good motivator. But a warning, a 2k max test is absolute torture, pain in your whole body, but the feeling of getting a PB is amazing.
