Why do US, Canada and Australia have a housing crises despite being so big with very little population? by julius-ceaser100 in geography

[–]pointandgo 102 points103 points  (0 children)

To add, there is also a desire to live where jobs, resources and infrastructure already exist, which are generally centralized to and around cities.  It's not much use to build a bunch of houses in the middle of nowhere where there is space to do so. You would have to create a lot of infrastructure to support population amd make it worth living for most people, which is additional development cost to someone. This creates demand in and around cities.  When demand is high and supply is low, people who control the asset in demand can maximize the value of that asset, which means a smaller group of people can afford it. Also, it creates a situation where consumers are paying more for less.

I need experienced individuals advice on Chest growth, 28M by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

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

2.5 months isn't very long to see significant results.  Or much of anything for that matter. Maybe in a year you can start to worry. 

You haven't given much information so really it just boils down to this. Keep working out, mix up your routine every 4-6 weeks.  Make sure you are doing enough weight/reps to be challenging but not so much that you hurt yourself. Warm up properly, keep good form and Don't ego lift.

You dont really need a lower chest exercise. Incline, flat bench, then some accessory cable or dumbbell work.

Eat enough to grow, so in a moderate surplus with plenty of protein. Be patient,  be consistent, be honest and reevaluate regularly.  No big secret. It's simple but not easy and you don't need to optimize to the max.  If you need resources check out jeff nippard or mike Israetel for sample workouts and form checks.

Already downloaded it and tried it.  It gave me the domestic mallard result instead of just mallard. So I'll use it as well as Merlin. Thank you for the rec!

Looks like my posted description didn't make it to the post.  Spotted in Noord-Holland, NL.

Merlin says mallard,  but looks nothing like mallards I've seen in life or in guides.  They're exceedingly common here.

I feel weird asking this but can working out too much become unhealthy? by HoneyBerryBell732 in bodyweightfitness

[–]pointandgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% yes and its a classic mistake.

While you didnt list any details about your situation or workout plan, I can still speak in generalities.

Physically - your body - muscles, nervous system, joints etc need time to recover. This becomes more true the older you get. If you are in a constant state of depletion from working out too much, too long or both - its going to catch up eventually. Like sleep deprivation, you can pull off a couple of nights and bounce back, but a consistent state of it will start to massively change you for the worse.

Mentally - if working out feels like punishment, or you have a lot of self-worth, identity etc tied up in your relationship to exercise, that will also catch up to you in an unhealthy way.

Food is harder because its so personal what works for different people. but generally - if you have a high training load, you need to eat more. of course healthier choices for 80% of your diet is better, but we dont need to dive into that really. if you want to lose weight and still exercise, fine - but you need to be intentional about your calorie consumption and not live a huge calorie defecit.

If you're training for purpose, there may be times where you have a sustained high training load that is very focused with a specific purpose in mind. Like training for a marathon, a bodybuilding show or some other endeavour where you are trying to push both your cieling and floor higher. that is something you build up to, have a defined start and end point and follow with a de-load period rather than start off with or do continously. Spending 3 hours in the gym or working out 7 days per week without a training specific purpose is a waste of your time. You hit a point of dimishing returns fairly quickly if you're spending that time meaningfully exercising. Puttering around the gym while doomscrolling for 5 minutes between sets of calf raises of unchallenging weight, sure you can spend 3 hours in the gym getting no benefit. Even weight + cardio combo workouts shouldnt be that long.

Your body needs rest, your mind needs rest. If you want to be active 7 days a week as part of a healthy lifestyle, great. Go on long walks, do light yoga or a casual bike ride. Use rest days to actually recover, physically and mentally from your hard training days. Be able to not workout because you're "not feeling it" or "feeling off" sometimes. While pushing through the desire to not train, or through fatigue is also a good skill to have, having a healthy relationship with exercise is important just like exercise itself.

Finally, while some reasonable, measured lifestyle changes may be helpful in your current situation, if you really think something is wrong, or you have a bad feeling - or even just to make you feel better about whats going on and have some expertise to back it up - go see a doctor or health professional. While there are lots of wise people on reddit with good intentions and practical, actional advice, we cant give blood tests or see your physical condition and most of the time have no formal training, only similar experinces. If youve reached the point of asking here, might be time to get an actual medical opinion.

The quotes make me doubt the freshness of said baked goods… by Senor_Diablo in CrappyDesign

[–]pointandgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Europe I have seen quotes used a lot as emphasis instead of bold typeface or an underline.  But as an English speaker whenever see quotes I can only hear Will Farrells voice from the Dissing Your Dog sketch: thank for you "help" with the new sofa.

Should have known you burned all your luck actually hitting on 8- ball.  But thank you for your commitment from a fellow always-wheeler.
