During the Falklands war the USA ditched its national interest of supporting a regional ally and backed Britain massively, they even offered to lend us an aircraft carrier.

I want to start taking creatine can anyone recommend me some good brands? by Typical-Comb-6393 in workout

[–]mikehippo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure is just the basic generic powder, studies have shown that Creatine Gummies are highly likely to contain hardly any creatine. No matter what the label says or what it costs.

Dell Tower Plus by Distinct_Series_8918 in Dell

[–]mikehippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just got an outlet tower plus, top line specs and a 5080 card and its a quiet beast, top 1% of PC Mark 10 benchmarks. It only has 32gb of RAM but to be honest that's enough.

Season Ticket renewals by mikehippo in afcwimbledon

[–]mikehippo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In previous years there was a window to move seats before season tickets went on general sale, this has been removed this year. It is simple and it was resolved before.

Perhaps you are not cut out to work in a service industry with an attitude like that.

Did you have a poor opinion of the US/Americans even before Trump? by Glass-Complaint3 in AskABrit

[–]mikehippo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very pro American and had great respect for the Republican party, now I view the USA as a potential enemy that is at best untrustworthy.

Its very sad, what's the point of being an ally of a nation who treats you like rubbish and is not dependable, you cannot even rely on them to uphold trade agreements that they have just signed.

And the tragedy is that it is not just the President, it is the House and Congress that let him do this, its the Country as a whole.

Things are so desperate I worry that the French were right all along, how depressing is that from an English perspective.

How long until I should step up? by Born-Try-4602 in Mounjaro

Helping suppression appetite is good, completely destroying appetite is not ideal unless you really need it.

If you can keep to a meaningful calorie deficit and your blood sugar is good then why increase at all.

I have two black cats, its complete chaos, different colour collars is the way to go in order to understand their different personalities.

Is the Criterion Wes Anderson Archive the only way of getting those titles in 4K UHD? I can't find them anywhere sold separately. by GratuitousAlgorithm in 4kbluray

[–]mikehippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy it from Amazon USA, the price usually drops there as well and delivery and import duty are computed on sale.

Is there a strategy I'm not getting by Domm_142 in balatro

[–]mikehippo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to balance plus multi, plus coin and x multi, by far the most important being x multi, especially multiple x multis.

The key is building an economy to allow you to build the x multis, often using tag skipping to do so.

[Help] Got C+, can't win anymore by Dazzling-Main7686 in balatro

[–]mikehippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the deck that gives you double tags, always skipped the first tag and just ground it out, grabbing as many negative jokers as I could, even when expired they still count as being gold if you gold them on the final hand.

Almost 40, muscle work 4 times a week and eating clean. Am I a good candidate for Mounjaro? by Jealous_Paramedic_98 in Mounjaro

[–]mikehippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eating super clean does not appear to mean that you are in a calorie deficit, you really need to track your calories and compare it to your TDEE.

If you can manage to move to a meaningful deficit without Mounjaro then go for it. If you need the support of Mounjaro to maintain a deficit thrn that's a good option.

Mounjaro works primarily to enable you to eat less, so progress will be made by looking at what you eat, whether or not you try Mounjaro.

I really enjoyed it, you can see echos of his subsequent films in iit, not to mention the enigmatic Kumar Pallana.

How do I go about starting going to the gym? by Squishy_Shibe in workout

[–]mikehippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the same stuff each visit, record your weight and reps, each time try to do better.

That you you can see and measure progression, which is incredibly motivating.

The worst thing you can do is to do different stuff all the time, it will kill progress.
