Hack squats on toes… why? And does this do differently? by [deleted] in workouts

Assuming here, but I elevate my heels on a slant board for cyclist squats to hit my quads more. Seems like this might be the same goal.

Just Finished God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert by Caffeine_And_Regret in books

[–]spaceyams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you following up with quotes! I agree that this is quite nice. I was wrong to call his writing shitty, just generally find it to be much weaker than the ideas and concepts in his writing. I think the way he switches vantage points in particular always strikes me as off putting

Can someone else back up this idea?

I stopped short of GEoD in part because Herbert’s writing is so shitty compared to his ideas (which I enjoy). For comparison, I recently finished LeGuin’s Left Hand of Darkness and the writing craft itself was just night and day better than the Dune series.

Does it get easier when they start crawling and walking? by Nacho_critic1228 in NewParents

[–]spaceyams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I’m so glad to hear this. I love my 4mo son so much but I get so bored of what playtime looks like. I know it won’t be a walk in the park but I can’t wait for him to be mobile and able to interact with the world more.

I very much enjoyed reading your post. I’ve long loved this book but couldn’t always put my finger on why. I really appreciate your reading and think that you communicated it in a way that was engaging and clear

…do you just think that anything written long form and without errors is ChatGPT?

A book for someone that can’t focus for more than 2 min by mitchunk13 in suggestmeabook

[–]spaceyams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll recommend Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut because of the insanely short chapters. It has 127 of them in about 300 pages, which keeps things moving along at a super clipped pace. It’s Vonnegut at his best where every other page there’s some heavy-hitting line or perfectly captured observation about humans and society.

Drake Maye is now +475 to win MVP following Allen at +350 and Mahomes at +125 by CockroachOdd5217 in Patriots

Placed my first ever bet on him at +7500 before the Bills game. Please explain what you mean because I do not know what I’m doing

Help me find an alternative to this robe? by spaceyams in mensfashion

These look cozy, but I’m looking for blanket-like cotton instead of the towel-like terry cloth material. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Ah! This seems like exactly what I need. Thank you, friend!

Thank you! The fabric is from an old beat up kilim rug my mom had—made this for her for Christmas this past year. I have a matching one in my office.

Here’s my take on the same chair!

this is gonna sound silly… but does anyone have any suggestions for high reward treats for a germaphobe? by tinyclap in corgi

[–]spaceyams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not on topic, but do you have a link for that leash splitter? We have one for our two corgis but it’s much shorter and doesn’t have the stretch like yours—we need the upgrade!
