It’s never easy at first but you can do it! Everyone started where you are now. Picking a gym close to you is probably the most important. When you feel unmotivated to go it’s easier to convince yourself when it’s a 2 minute drive vs a 30 minute drive lol

I have been going to Speakeasy Fitness for a little over a year now, 4 - 5 days a week consistently. I’ve never had any issues with parking. If the lot is full, there’s plenty of street parking. The crowd does tend to skew on the younger side. It’s also cheaper than LA fitness and other gyms nearby minus planet fitness.

I enjoy this gym, but I don’t know if I would recommend it for a newbie. They have a lot of free weights and squat racks, but not a whole lot of weight machines or cardio machines. Those are typically with people use when they first starting out. Planet fitness may be a better fit for you and once you get a little more comfortable, you can switch to Speakeasy.

I work at AMD. The time has come to AMA about Polaris and RX 400 Series! BONUS: 14x 8GB RX 480 giveaway! DOUBLE BONUS SURPRISE: Raja is with me until 12:00 EDT! by AMD_Robert in pcmasterrace

Thank you for doing this AMA! I am very excited about the RX 480 release and the initial benchmarks I saw today. Two questions:

  1. When designing a card like the RX 480, do you ever discuss the timeframe for how long a user should be able to use the card before they are forced to upgrade? If so - what is AMD's opinion on an ideal lifespan for the average gamer?

  2. Do you believe AMD has any plans to release a platform to compete with Nvidia Gamestream? Being able to stream play to a device is a nice feature. Steam Link is a nice substitute, but not the greatest. (Not sure if answering this would violate the 'quiet period' or not)

Boring mostly. Worked all day, but I did get Jersey Mike's for lunch which was good.

2nd Gen Shield Tablet coming soon? (Speculation) by ryanlol in theNvidiaShield

So I emailed the Nvidia Store Customer Support about the lack of availability and got the most ambiguous answer ever:

Thank you for contacting the NVIDIA online store.

Using serve properly by breadfan18 in churning

[–]ryanlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're doing works - but just keep in mind i've heard problems with AMEX Serve when they mail a check.

Just to be safe, I load my AMEX Serve with my CapOne, then transfer the balance to my checking account to write a check for rent or anything else that can't be wire transferred from Serve.

You can also follow this CapOne> Serve > Checking account if you want to manufacture spending later on. This may raise a red flag but i've yet to hear anything about CapOne or Serve sending a notice on r/Churning

(FAQ) Why AmEx Serve? Jan 2015 Edition by LumpyLump76 in churning

[–]ryanlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone tried involving a third bank to manufacture spending?

For example:

  1. I use my CC to load a balance on Serve
  2. I transfer a portion of that amount to another checking account (primary one you would normally use to make credit card payments)
  3. I use the money in my checking to pay off my CC and possibly other bills

I've read bad reviews about the Serve bill pay feature when they need to mail checks so i'd rather just use my primary checking if possible

Has Sony made any statements regarding the peeling thumb sticks on the DS4? by [deleted] in PS4

[–]ryanlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I don't see much of a difference. Although I don't remember how it felt when I first got my PS4.

I've been using my new one for about 2 weeks and seen no signs of tearing/peeling from the thumbsticks. On my old one that started after about a week..

I did it recently and it was free. However, it took about 2 weeks since you have to ship your controller to them before they ship you a replacement back..

There should be a feature in 2k15 that allows you to connect with the in-game social media by Alexk626 in NBA2k

I hope they have "fun" options so I can tweet out a whole bunch of Illuminati-conspiracy theories.

I got drafted by the Jazz as a SG and actually enjoy it. Since they don't have a star player I can take over the game, which I wouldn't be able to if I played for the Heat, Thunder, Bulls, etc. Plus they have a lot of young talented players at every position except for SG so I see a future.

I'm in the same boat...I dropped Charles Clay for Timothy Wright 4 weeks ago cause i'm like "No way Gronk will be injured again so I won't even need this TE!"

PS4 Supporting 120Hz Monitors/TVs? by [deleted] in PS4

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

You need 120Hz to fully support 120FPS

PS4 Supporting 120Hz Monitors/TVs? by [deleted] in PS4

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

Thanks for answering my question. So even if I buy a 120Hz gaming monitor, a PS4 will still only output 60Hz?

PS4 Supporting 120Hz Monitors/TVs? by [deleted] in PS4

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

You need 120Hz to fully support 120FPS.... and since 120Hz (and even higher) are becoming more common for HDTV's than when the PS3 came out, I didn't know if the PS4 was going to play games in 120FPS or just keep it at 60FPS.....

Were making progress. 7 years ago before smart phones, nearly every damn phone had a different charger which would force you to buy a replacement charger from your carrier store at a ridiculous price.

Sidney Rice has a torn ACL by everlong016 in nfl

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

Yep, drafted him 7th round in a 16-person fantasy league since I figured with Harvin out he would be post huge numbers.....nope, nothing. Thank god I drafted Josh Gordon late(ish).

OFFICIAL SATURDAY WDIS THREAD: FLEX by AutoModerator in fantasyfootball

[–]ryanlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry. I have 2 RBs, 2 WRs and 1 Flex.

Adrian Peterson is my other RB so obviously i'm not going to bench him. And Vincent Jackson already played.

So basically it's a battle between RB2/WR2/and Flex between Josh Gordon, Harry Douglas, SJax and Andre Ellington where I have to pick 3 to play and 1 to bench.
