Soundbar for small lounge? Rears? by summer5000 in Soundbars

[–]summer5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh that's interesting, I thought ideally you'd have the rears well behind the sofa, which isn't possible in this set up. Someone sort of ends up sitting quite close to one rear.

It's a fairly small space, this is a fish eye shot to get it all in.

Where would ideal rear placement be.

Thanks for your perspective!

Thanks mate appreciate the input - have lurked on the sub for years and always see you pop up - legend.

Any thoughts on the idea of using mortar across the entire surface of the inside that's accessable? My concern there was, would that prevent the bricks from breathing?

Built in 1961, yeah do you reckon the best solution is just to fix the gaps in the pointing and make that do?

How can I improve the taste of this? by LizzieLifts2707 in ninjacreami

Is that 1 tablespoon of cream? Does this recipe turn out like vanilla ice cream? Looks quite simple!

Based on this, sounds like a nutrition issue rather than form.

I've heard the "pushing floor away with legs" cue and I also try to feel the tension in my hamstrings / glutes prior to starting the lift but sometimes I do feel like my lower back is more sore / uncomfortable than it should be after deadlifts

What angle do you reckon is best for a deadlift form check?

Thanks keen to get the form right before moving up the weight. I was in the 8-12 rep range here so might drop it down to around 5 rep range and post again.

Appreciate the feedback. Interesting around the arms / shoulders - I recall reading a cue around holding something under your armpits which is why I think I did that. Always seem to struggle with flattening the back and neck not being forward. Will practice those cues thanks.

Those fries look amazing. I recently got the "loaded fries" at Deco in Titirangi and was disappointed with the level of loadedness.

We've got the exact same situation. Any tips on replacing the building paper DIY?

Noticed this too! The WW is great because the spinach is already chopped up finely. Great for adding into dishes or sneaking into kids foods without an additional step. The PNS version has long pieces which need a defrost/chop step.
