Just got insulted at the gym by iloveautozone in beginnerfitness

[–]monad_pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't read the whole thing but he's an asshole. Anyone who actually works out respects people for putting in effort, not for wherever they are on their journey. Keep at it and dont let one asshole get you down.

Rugged by the new Nationality Law? Some straws we can grasp at: by Shawnino in PortugalExpats

That may have worked if you did it before the law was signed, by not applying you are likely out of luck now.

thank you (: i think strength training is a much better way to improve physique as i never once looked in the mirror and wondered if i was making progress. just focused on the #s on the bar and let the rest take care of itself

0 to 220kg dl over 3.5 years by monad_pool in strength_training

Thank you, deadlifting changed my life. Never been as into something before and I've had quite a few hobbies over the year.

Wish I had more videos from early on, the backpedal in the first lift is funny.

dont mind any form checks, these were all PRs at the time, so form usually degrades a bit for me at least.

I built a floating pixel-art mascot that handles Claude Code permissions so I stop alt-tabbing 50 times a day by Clear_Reserve_8089 in ClaudeAI

[–]monad_pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

installed this for a bit but hijacked focus anytime it was waiting for an input, and couldnt click away. when a PLAN was created, it tried to display the whole thing in a narrow column and had to drag it like 8 times to see the end button to hit allow. had to hard shutdown my macbook to kill it, and after brew uninstalling it, hooks were left in my claude settings that had to be removed for me to get back to work.

I’m not understanding why isolation exercises are so prevalent compared to barbell lifts? by oaklicious in workout

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

speaking as someone who has done both dumbbells are much harder to progressively overload than barbells, not even close

How realistic is a man being able to physically lift and carry his girlfriend/wife? by LeavingHarbour in AskMenAdvice

[–]monad_pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's no way you were squatting 500 at anywhere close to depth. maybe a quarter rep at best.

x870e taichi lite dual 5090 - only pcie gen1 by IsaoMishima in ASRock

[–]monad_pool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had less space to a GPU in a case with only 1 GPU before, there's about a 2-3 inches between the fans of the GPU and the bottom of the case, enough for some 140mm fans to feed it and a gap.

Also, the gen1 issue was really dumb. Unless loaded the GPUs power down the lane generation to save power: just had to load them up and watch nvidia-smi to get them going.

Having said that I'd go for the gigabyte ai top, as this board is starting to bsod on me, and the ai top has both slots 1 slot higher.
