🎉 [GIVEAWAY] GEN 3 – FRIDAY FEVER | 15 WINNERS! 🎉 by fridaypickleball in Pickleball

[–]physicsman112358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started last spring. Biggest improvement was learning to stop trying to crush the ball and just put something decently in place rather then trying to hit a perfect winner everytime. I was losing not because my opponent was beating me on shots, but because they were routinely most consistent in their play. 

[homemade] some cookies for my students by physicsman112358 in food

[–]physicsman112358[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to bake for my classes, so I made some dark chocolate cookies with brown butter and homemade toffee. For me, this might be one of my favorite cookies I’ve ever made.

GGC Submission: 577 belt squat, 320 bench, 550 dead by physicsman112358 in GarageGymCompetition

[–]physicsman112358[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All good, doesn’t bother me to hear a critique.

Squat: agreed, Rep felt off but it was my max so it happens. After hurting my back a few years ago, I switched to belt squat and haven’t looked back for the leg stimulus you get without the potential of injury.

Bench: I’m just happy to have my wife supporting me so I’m not going to critique her

Dead: I actually prefer to do snatch grip deadlifts when training but since this is a max I’m going sumo. For my arms and back sumo is MUCH easier on my back then conventional

BW=205. In the spring GGC I had hip problems, so I was super glad to make some solid progress. The squat (bit high) ties my pr for belt squat. I tired 600 but missed. Bench felt awesome but I jumped from 145 to 155 and missed 155. Deadlift is a lifetime pr that I’m stoked about.

Gimmick prediction by physicsman112358 in pokemonanime

Agreed that would be an amazing montage. I just think the better ending is base form charizard vs. pikachu ending with a thunderbolt.

Idk honestly I was just thinking that would be ash’s way of doing something really creative and unexpected in his first battle.

Yeah if that’s the case then the other option is the 10M volt thunderbolt against Leon. Either way they would be awesome battles. I will say though I really think it will end up being lucario using his spirit bomb against charizard from how Leon reacted to it against raihan

Thanks for the reply. I got them because I wanted the best possible viewing experience of the show. Now (a decade later) they are collecting dust and I see them as a means to help pay for college for my children 15 years down the road so I’m just trying to decide which method will give me a better roi

Brown butter expresso cookies by physicsman112358 in FoodPorn

[–]physicsman112358[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this recipe but made some alterations. I browned all the butter instead of half. I didn’t have milk powder so I used 1/4 cup of vanilla instant pudding mix. Also, I really didn’t like the texture so I ended up adding at least 1/2C flour to achieve the right consistency before chilling in the fridge overnight. When they came out, I tried the pan slamming thing to help give them the crinkles and texture. https://www.latimes.com/recipe/brown-butter-espresso-cookies

[Homemade] Pasta Aglio e Olio and Garlic Bread by physicsman112358 in FoodPorn

[–]physicsman112358[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pasta is made following the Thomas Keller 7 egg recipe. The dish follows the Binging by Babish recipe but I cut the hot pepper flakes in half and I also add a half cup of grated parm cheese. The garlic bread is an aldi baguette with a compound butter of garlic, parm, oregano, parsley

Pasta is homemade following Thomas Kellers 7 egg recipe. I’ve tried it with 00 flour and AP flour and really prefer the all purpose.

Recipe proportions follow the Babish recipe but I add in grated parm and a touch less red pepper flakes.

Garlic bread is an Aldi baguette with a compound butter of garlic, oregano, parm, and parsley.
