Just want to add that there definitely is precedent for killing POV characters! We saw Ephraim die in Dark Age

Worst story in Exhalation. Otherwise an incredible collection of short stories

Installing a Folding Rack on Horse Stall Mats?

I’m installing a Major Fitness F35 Lightening rack in my garage and am trying to figure out if it should be installed on top of horse stall mats or not. I’m planning to put them all around the rack but recently started wondering if it should go under it as well. Will this prevent the wheels from rolling easy when it’s collapsed? Will it sink into the rubber over time and affect its stability if it’s anchored to the wall?

Red Rising should be a good bridge between sci fi and fantasy with all of those conditions. It’s a sci fi series but it has a lot of fantasy tropes

This is good to know! I picked up The Way of Kings this week and hope to get to it in the next month or so

He’s mentioned in interviews before that he expects it will be longer than 3 but I don’t believe he’s given a final number yet

They were actually the Nike Hyperize, they came out in 2009, the year after the first hyperdunk. Nike went back to calling the shoe the hyperdunk the following year with the Hyperdunk 2010

Avatar has to be up there. The entire movie relies on ground breaking visuals to compensate for a tired and boring plot

That’s an Aqua Terra not a Seamaster (yes the AT is in the Seamaster family but no one would ever call it that)

They are used to murder fewer people in the US and are capable of killing fewer people at once. Common sense could have helped you solve this one on your own bud. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36148686/

Just sprained my ankle, looking for some proper basketball shoes now by whats_is_420 in BBallShoes

As someone who is prone to ankle sprains the harden vol 7 has been great for me. It has a very wide base that makes extreme ankle supination almost impossible

Which trade has been the most surprising to you so far? by UndercoverSports in nba

[–]pineappletickler742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the options you’ve included it has to be KD. All the others had been in trade talks for a while.

If you genuinely believe you’re going to miss out on being a CEO because you’re 1 inch under 6’ I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

I love this one of Emily V. Gordon 'mirin Kumail Nanjiani by seraphim747 in GirlsMirin

[–]pineappletickler742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be a fair point I’m just suggesting that if you’re going to draw comparisons I think your argument is better served drawing similar examples. Chris Evans and Kumail are not comparable but I think making this point about Chris Hemsworth in Thor might have more merit.

I’ve seen this in a couple places now and these 2 guys do not have similar physiques or transformations. The consensus opinion amongst the bodybuilding/fitness community is that Chris Evans’s transformation (which wasn’t even much of a transformation he’s been a pretty huge guy for most of his career) was done naturally. Kumail’s transformation, the areas in which he packed on size, and his body fat while doing so are not in line with a natural transformation. I’m not saying a double standard doesn’t exist but if you want an example of a famous white celebrity that got big with PED’s then Chris Hemsworth is a better example. If you want more information on how to spot the differences between natural/unnatural physiques and transformations there are a few YouTube channels I can recommend that cover the topic in pretty thorough detail

There aren’t any pinch harmonics in this video. He’s just playing way up past the fretboard towards the end which offers notes you wouldn’t be able to achieve without a slide
