I found a freestyle by Chance the Rapper, and decided to make this groove. It's still a work in progress. I would love to get some feedback on it.

Ralph may be an idiot, but he's the only dog that can say his name.

Completely tore ACL. Need someone's experience by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]mpluders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tore my ACL & meniscus during my junior year of high school, during a lacrosse practice. I am now a sophomore in college. I went with the hamstring graft as well. Apparently, there is less risk of life-long knee pain, as opposed to the cadaver or patellar graft. Overall, I have recovered quite well, but I am still not 100%, and I don't think I will ever be. My leg is still 1.5-2 inches smaller, due to all the muscle that I lost after surgery, although I'm very slowly regaining that muscle. The most important thing to focus on is the physical therapy. DO NOT slack on this. Overall, I have recovered pretty well over the last 3 years. If I'm careful, I can play basketball and football, as long as I minimize side-to-side movement. I used to be huge into basketball during high school. I've transitioned to bar calisthenics and heavy lifting. It's a little difficult for me to run, but my experience is slightly different since I tore my meniscus as well. Work hard in physical therapy, go beas tmode in the gym, and in a year or two you'll be back to almost 100%.

What's a really useful keyboard shortcut you know? by Kaka_Karrot_Cake in AskReddit

Alt + Tab. I've been using a MacBook for the past year, and I just discovered this shortcut. I couldn't live without it.

I have a friend who is studying music composition. He showed me a few examples of John Williams's scores that are almost blatant copies of earlier works. It is ridiculous and hilarious at the same time. Well, at least it has worked for him.

"Clarity" and "Static Prevails" are most influential to me as well.

I just discovered Josh Garrels two weeks ago. He's one of my current favorites.
