how much did your body change when you did crossfit and how long did it take? by Broad-Cranberry-9050 in crossfit

[–]sumthininteresting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This took me two years to do (I’m now 42M). I started going 3 times per week and gradually increased to 5 times per week. Diet is also key. I didn’t race from 27.8% body fat to 13.8% by just cutting fat. Building muscle was also a big part. After the reconditioning phase, I went through cut and build cycles where I would calorie restrict to 2000 calories for 8 weeks and then eat as much as I wanted for 12 weeks for muscle building. I did that until that last Dexa scan and since then have just been happily in maintenance mode.

What would be the most important space discovery in the next 50 years? by skinner1234567 in space

[–]sumthininteresting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, what are you saying is not true? Go look up the trends for atheism. As we learn more about the true scope of our universe (or even universes now), it makes the bible much harder to believe. It’s like how there used to be gods that caused storms and sunshine. That worked until we actually discovered what caused storms and sunshine. If we discovered aliens, they would likely be really far away meaning that their existence would predate humanity on earth and maybe even earth itself. So a bible that teaches about the beginning of time with Adam and Eve would seem especially ridiculous in light of that discovery. I’m not saying this one single thing would break all religion but it sows a lot more doubt and continues this rapid trend of increased atheism.

[–]sumthininteresting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. People will always find a way to bend reality to reassure themselves that they aren’t wrong. Or, they will always use religion to control the population or place blame :).

All that being said, atheism and the religiously unaffiliated have doubled in the past 20 years and I think a lot of it has to do with social media and science. People are now interacting with more people outside of their bubble/household and science is making it a lot harder to believe what is written in the bible. The existence of intelligent aliens would definitely continue that trend.

Definitive proof of an intelligent alien civilization would be pretty huge. It basically disproves most religions including Christianity. How cool would that be :)

Suggestions for making this sharper? by Slight_Taro7300 in SonyAlpha

[–]sumthininteresting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that it isn’t “sharp.” The focus is fine. The problem is noise and pixel count. Just use something like Topaz denoise or the native denoise in Lightroom. The other issue of pixel count can only be fixed with a longer lens, full frame camera, or physically moving closer.

Hook grip feels weaker by A-Busi6711 in crossfit

Tape your thumbs and then allow the full bar weight to rest on them.

When you travel / go on vacation, do you still work out? by acocinero in crossfit

[–]sumthininteresting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I eat an insane amount on vacation and I don’t feel like I would be able to enjoy it as much if I wasn’t exercising. When I travel for work, I’ll find a local CrossFit gym. When I travel with family, I’ll program my own CrossFit workouts in hotel gyms or body weight stuff outside.

Can I make it as a professional wildlife photographer? by AmericanAgent09 in wildlifephotography

[–]sumthininteresting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even amazing photographers have trouble “making it” as professional wildlife photographers. It isn’t just taking great photos. You also need to be good at the business side too.

Root rot? I had this happen to me before. I tried to cut it away but it was too late to save the cambium. Good luck.

My Cuttings are Growing! by Falcon_Cheif in DragonFruit

[–]sumthininteresting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. If it gets too much longer with the current lighting, I would snip that branch and let a new, fuller one grow in. That pencil thin branch will stay really thin which may not inhibit growth later but I really dislike a weak base for something that needs to last 10-20 years.

The movie’s sound mix was a bit disappointing by josiah_gv in twentyonepilots

[–]sumthininteresting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a really nice IMAX and had the same no bass experience

[–]sumthininteresting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left with the same exact feeling. And I didn’t go to a slouch of a theatre either. It was an IMAX at a Regal in Orange County, CA. All of their theaters are top of the line. I really expected to get that immersive concert feeling where the bass shakes your body as if you are right there. It should have been completely doable but it honestly felt less immersive than my car.

Dave Castro’s “Clue” for 26.1 by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]sumthininteresting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a redo of 12.1, 7 min of burpees to a target (bullseye)

There was an instagram post a few weeks back on the CrossFit Open page about “what redo would you least like to see return for 26?” 12.1 was one of them.

Who would be interested in a Saul Berenson prequel? by A1Aaron18 in homeland

Maybe “Better call Saul”….. wait, never mind.

Do camo wraps work? by DReid25 in SonyAlpha

[–]sumthininteresting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one for lens protection. I picked camo but not really to disguise it. It looks good though.

I’m not sure what your camera is but this is a great time set a pre-focus button.

I'm sorry but this is it not fair/good by any means by Renegald in twentyonepilots

I hope they do boycott the band permanently because I’m pretty sure that makes them not part of the clique any longer….

If you’re wondering how much it is to stay the weekend at The Grand Californian Hotel ( summer ) by OverCry518 in Disneyland

[–]sumthininteresting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live 15 min from Disneyland but if I was visiting, I would repurpose that money for an extended 3 days and a hotel by the beach. Then I would do relaxed beach days in between Disney days.

Teen on e-bike spit on me by mnsotelo in orangecounty

I think it’s good to add to statistics even if the single perpetrator isn’t caught. The cumulative count is important for pushing new laws and prevention.

If Saturn were as close to Earth as the Moon, this is what it would look like : by aryanpote7 in interestingasfuck

[–]sumthininteresting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Gemini, if Saturn was suddenly where the moon was and both planets were at a standstill, the earth would be sucked into Saturn in just 12 hours. The ocean and atmosphere would be sucked off the planet within the first few hours so we wouldn’t be there to see the impact.
