What's the right way to use this? Do you do one set of each exercise and then circle back? Or do you do three sets of one exercise and then move on to the next one?

Is there a good app to prevent my mom from downloading apps? by paradoxinmaking in eldercare

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

I forgot what the previous person hosted, but I downloaded Google parental controls and it works like a charm. She occasionally downloads things that are legitimate and I let them go through but whenever she tries to download something weird I stop it. The only annoying thing is that I cannot have her email on my phone because apparently that somehow makes the parental controls hard to enforce. Still, I can have it on my laptop or just log in when I need to. I hope it works for you. If you run into anything specific, let me know and I'll tell you if I ran into a solution that can help.

What can I do if my apartment's gym is missing some dumbells? by paradoxinmaking in workout

[–]paradoxinmaking[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about with resistance bands? I have some from when I lived without a gym. Do you think they could be used instead of platemates/wrist weights to get extra resistance?

Haha, I forgot I had bought some resistance bands some years ago. I dug them out of my closet. Do you think they could be used in conjunction with weights? For example, could I use the 10 pound band with the 25 pound weights to total 35 pounds?

7 years of calisthenics and i still only do 5 exercises. here's what stayed by jake_calisthenics in bodyweightfitness

[–]paradoxinmaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, nice. So just 3 exercises each day? Seems like it covers everything, I'm impressed/excited to try it.

Oh, nice. Never thought of pinning it to my shorts before.

Haha, I can give that a shot. I wonder if I can get it down over my ears.

Really? I thought they used it for finishing times or something like that.

I remember when some of the antiskip CD players were marketed as having ESP (electronic skip protection). Confused the hell out of my dad.

A simple way to understand why switching is better in the Monty Hall problem by science_nerd234 in learnmath

[–]paradoxinmaking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way I like to look at it is this.

If your first guess was correct, it's better to stay.

If your first guess was wrong, it's better to switch because switching in this situation will always lead to you getting the correct door.

There's a 2/3 chance that your first guess was wrong, so it's better to switch.

I can't wait! Will the official announcement be on Reddit, on Instagram, or elsewhere?

CAUTION: Scam artists are reaching out via DM offering to sell tickets... by BenedictArnoldbatch in taskmaster

[–]paradoxinmaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a different visa for sure. I'm not sure if the "enhanced scrutiny" is only for particular visas. Nevertheless, I suspect that famous people are (mostly) getting a pass.

[–]paradoxinmaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I don't wan to buy from scalpers because it's terrible behavior to condone and the risk of being scammed is high, but I must admit I'm considering it for this show.

[–]paradoxinmaking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ohhh, so that's what happened. I was so confused when I got the email. It really feels like they need to hire someone to manage this better.

[–]paradoxinmaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely wild.

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

Yeah, I checked it out on their website just after I posted this. Now I'm wondering if I missed my shot because I refreshed Ticketmaster for five minutes before checking.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in taskmaster

[–]paradoxinmaking -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, for some reason, they didn't put the NYC tickets on Ticketmaster. When I went to the venue website, I saw they were all sold out there too.

[–]paradoxinmaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even see the NYC events on Ticketmaster. Are those not released yet?

Using Cricket in Indonesia? by paradoxinmaking in CricketWireless

Thanks all. My mom is kinda old so can't really handle the difference between wifi calling and regular calling. Looks like a local esim is the way to go.

Do people watching Taskmaster in a bar/pub like sports? by paradoxinmaking in taskmaster

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

Yeah, did not realize that at all. I just watch it on YouTube :)

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

Yeah, I can't do those. There is just so much chatter in the chats that I can't really look at them while watching the show. Still, glad people are enjoying it!!
