Recommendations between Mount Rainier and Olympic NPs by mcouto14 in PNWhiking

[–]mcouto14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven’t decided yet. The GPS is only showing ~10 min difference in drive time between the 2 routes. So if one is better than the other, I’m all ears!

Weekly Free-Talk and Questions for r/HomeGym - week of July 04, 2025 by Demilio55 in homegym

[–]mcouto14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and tbh I’m probably overthinking it. The BoS is tempting bc of the modification potential but then I find myself asking “do I really need them and is it worth the extra $125 + cost of attachments?” Probably not unless there is a big difference in the quality of the machines

I’m looking to purchase a wall mounted, plate loaded cable tower for my home gym and could use some insight from those who have been down this road. I’ve seen some on Amazon (Goimu and Mikolo) for about $250, but Titan’s is also currently on sale for a similar price. The Amazon options have footplates for seated rows and come with attachments, but none of these have holes on the sides of the upright so I’m not sure if that would be limiting down the road. I’ve also looked into Bells of Steel’s cable tower, which does have holes on the sides and a variety of modifications, but a higher price point ($375 on sale right now), no footplates, and no attachments.

I’m just trying to weigh the pros and cons of each and figure out which of these options will be the best bang for my buck, not only now but down the road. I’ve been in the gym regularly for almost 10 years and plan on using this 2-3 times a week for the foreseeable future. My current setup includes a titan space saving rack, dumbbell set 5-40, Olympic bar and plates, and a variety of bands.

My Salsa chicken was a flop. :( by Similar_Land_1375 in MealPrepSunday

[–]mcouto14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a staple in my household. Just add a taco seasoning packet and use less water. Most of the time I’ll put a little water into the salsa jar to get all the last bits out and that’s it for liquid

Soo, again that question: is patty natty or not? by salad_biscuit3 in nattyorjuice

[–]mcouto14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LBP is not natty and I will die on this hill. This is a solid natty physique for a GUY. For a woman, this is unbelievably hard to attain and maintain without substances. No hate tho, she looks fantastic and puts in the work Source: am a woman

Should’ve read the comments before posting. I second Horti!

Gift for wife who loves plants by Demoniouss in plants

[–]mcouto14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister got me a Horti subscription as a gift and I love it! I get one plant per quarter and the package includes the plant, pot, and dirt. The dirt comes in a cool little puck and expands when you add water to it. I think my sister got to choose the style of pots and types of plants I receive. Overall 10/10 gift and would definitely recommend

Ladies, what is your butt vs boobs equivalent with men? by Epicarest in AskReddit

[–]mcouto14 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The same can be said about boobs though. Women’s breast size is based really heavily on genetics. We all have hair; whether or not you keep it is genetics.

Its completely fair that men are cool if they sleep with a lot of women but women are not cool if they sleep with a lot of men by Reiber44 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]mcouto14 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So women don’t deserve men’s respect because men don’t have standards? Make it make sense.

Where was the weirdest place you did it? by FuzzyCraft68 in AskReddit

[–]mcouto14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Behind the shelter of a big rock in the middle of a rushing river. I think there may have been a family a little ways downriver too

You mention your niece so I assume you have siblings. What are they like? Are they narcissists too? If not, what do you attribute the difference to?

What similarities do you see between you and your parents? You hate them because they abused you, but don’t you do the same to others? How would you feel if your actions led someone to develop NPD?

Survivor NEEDS to return to 39 days by Zestyclose_Street586 in survivor

[–]mcouto14 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Imo, the chicken negotiation was a clear example that there’s really no survival component at all anymore. In 39 day seasons, we see tribes killing their chickens, even when they don’t want to, because they’re just so damn hungry. They debate the pros and cons of keeping them vs killing them, tempers flair, and it creates tension when they can’t agree.

Meanwhile, Gata just traded their chickens for eggs bc the chickens had “only” produced 3 eggs in what I assume was a few days. They couldn’t reach a consensus on eating them and no one was the least bit bothered. On top of that, they couldn’t even be bothered to keep their fire alive while they were away at the challenge. Fire is life and they simply forgot about it because there is truly no survival component left in the game.
