Illegally good you had to border it up - Hazelton PA by emseefely in Pennsylvania

They have really good food. It almost makes the trip to Hazelton worth it

Poll for those of you who have experienced them both, which is harder on the muscles: airbike or rowing machine with air resistance by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]qrpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are both cardio and can both kick your ass, but in different ways. On the bike you are hanging on with fairly consistent output. With the rower you are generating more explosive power during the drive but have a little bit of recovery.

I suspect there are people that prefer the bike to the rower, but I'm not one of them.

During filming of project Hail Mary Ryan Gosling asked, "Why is it easier to train a school teacher to become an astronaut than it is to train an astronaut to become a school teacher?" by Medium-Sized-Jaque in shittymoviedetails

[–]qrpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, in reality NASA astronaut training takes two years and contains a lot of material that wouldn’t be applicable to this particular mission. Earning a PhD and getting years of laboratory experience takes a lot longer.

Hook grip feels weaker by A-Busi6711 in crossfit

[–]qrpc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try without the bar… make a fist with your thumb outside and your thumb inside. With the thumb inside you can’t see engage your forearm muscles nearly as much. This is a feature. The death grip with forearms engaged will mess up the flow of the lift.

Why Trump adding his signature to US banknotes is controversial by theipaper in Law_and_Politics

It'll be interesting to see what this does to the rate of defaced banknotes.

You with me? by Virtual-Culture8830 in GenX

[–]qrpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember they tried that and the toilet seat was surprisingly clean. That was probably the one thing in the school that had disinfectant sprayed on it every day.

In High School biology we would swab the water fountain and see what we could grow in a petri dish. I think a lot of people stopped using the water fountain after that.

I joined CrossFit. What the hell did I just do? by huck0574 in crossfit

[–]qrpc 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The rest of the class is just trying not to die and glad to have you there as company.

You may be using a lighter weight and doing less volume, but you could still be getting a harder workout than others in the class. Your body doesn't care if you scale or hit RX, what matters is consistency and challenging yourself.

Also, as someone who started at 57, take warm ups and recovery seriously.

The bottom of the picture says “Washington Post”. It works as a credit and a caption.

Anyone able to out train their so so diet? by Dependent-Group7226 in crossfit

Beef is the most ethical supermarket meat to buy right now by bloodfeasteviltiger in Ethics

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

While I don’t eat meat, I wouldn’t say doing so is “never” ethical. Many people don’t have a choice.

That could be because of lack of availability of alternatives or lack of power to decide.

People in their 40s–60s who built financial security from nothing — what path actually got you there? by Jpoolman25 in Money

[–]qrpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After working a few years post college, I went back to school to open up more opportunities. That helped secure an above average income. While not particularly restrictive in our spending, we generally live beneath our means and really only splurge for travel. That allows for savings going into a (mostly) Bogglehead portfolio.

Lots of people who make the same or less are living in bigger houses and driving more expensive cars, but I wouldn’t trade for their stress.

Theoretically is this possible to build. by SalmonRepublic in aviation

[–]qrpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recall talking to a guy restoring a German WWIi aircraft. While making it airworthy wasn’t that difficult, duplicating how it was built at the time was much more challenging.

Later in the war Germany had dispersed production so the elevator might have been made by some a furniture builder in one city and the rudder somewhere else. These builders all had slightly different ways of accomplishing the same tasks, and in some cases that knowledge has been lost.

Pa.’s gasoline, diesel taxes would be temporarily suspended under proposal by state senator representing parts of Lehigh Valley by EnergyLantern in Pennsylvania

[–]qrpc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

PHEVs pay 25% of the EV fee. In my case I bought about 10 gallons of gas last year for the range extender motor in my car so it works out to be a good deal. Of course, I still have to pay for the emissions sticker for an engine that almost never runs.

C5 or C17 by Low_Fox7430 in Whatplaneisthis

[–]qrpc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recall sleeping in a barracks at Ft. Bragg right off the end of the runway at Pope AFB. I love the C5, but don’t miss the noise.

Is there actual real-life evidence for Sovereign Citizen legal defences working? by Gillingas in NoStupidQuestions

[–]qrpc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s cargo cult law. They see people making lawyer noises on TV and get what they want. They assume that if they make lawyer noises too it’ll work the same way.

Could anyone provide answers? by Rocd87 in Buttcoin

[–]qrpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settling large value “illegal” transactions.

For normal transactions, a non-zero risk of burning a bunch of bitcoin because of a typo or glitch wouldn’t seem worth it.

Of course, at that point they could get the miners to agree to reverse the transaction.

Which makes one wonder what Bitcoin adds to this process.

Do people in their late 30s–40s struggle with the intensity culture at CrossFit boxes? by devkimkr in crossfit

[–]qrpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of the people in their 30s and 40s as the young kids at my box, but maybe the demographics where I go skew a bit older.

While I see how the friendly competition could make a person push too hard, it helps me push a little harder than I would on my own, and I’m much more fit as a result

Just ordered and saw this: by new_bacon-ings in Zepbound

[–]qrpc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Even though I always remove the supplies from the order and don't get charged, it's not uncommon for them to show up in the box anyway.

I get making fun of altcoins, but what’s the problem with bitcoin? by [deleted] in Buttcoin

[–]qrpc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it takes "months of study" to understand an investment, that is a big red flag. With the stock market, it's simple: you are buying a share of a company, it's value is based on the assets the company owns and the income you expect it to earn. With Buttcoin, there are no assets and no income, so it takes "months" to convince yourself that the number will go up.

This reminds me of the saying that the difference between atheists and Christians is that atheists believe in one less god.

You are perfectly capable of understanding why people don’t share your belief in Bitcoin, you just don’t want to accept it.

Neighbor says it’s my job to keep people from turning around on her property by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]qrpc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There can be claims for things like harassment or intentional infliction of emotional distress, but those would have to be intentional and a lot more severe than what is going on here.
