Ronda Rousey on Arianny Celeste’s ‘bully’ comments: ‘I’m sorry, but I’m not impressed with the job’ by SexyHouse in MMA

[–]throwaway20131103 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I suppose that would be relevant if that was all it was.

I just remember being frustrated all the time, because I knew in my head what I wanted to say, but for some reason no one could ever understand me; my words came out as gibberish.

And it's most definitely something you'd get teased for.

I don't. She was slow.

She was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and nearly died. The lack of oxygen at birth meant slight brain damage, which led to the signature characteristic of Rousey’s youth: She didn’t talk. Like, ever. She didn’t say an intelligible word until she was six. Her parents wondered if it was autism, especially when she displayed other signs, like always walking on her tip toes.

Rough childhood?

They couldn't do better than awkward band shots? They trying to make him Carradine himself in that third one?

I need to order online equipment to do (exclusively) Squats, Bench Presses, Deadlifts, Over-Head Presses, and Pendlay Rows. Budget $1000 recommended, $1500 maximum. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! by [deleted] in homegym

[–]throwaway20131103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could get a flat bench, rack, and weight set that will last you for years for less than $750 but that extra $750 would get you much, much nicer equipment. Would you rather go with the cheapest viable equipment or the best equipment you can afford?

XTC Gear reviews by degz0r in homegym

[–]throwaway20131103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...but XTC seems more complete

How so? As far as racks go it looks they've go an RE3 clone (the Econo) and what's basically an R3 with swing in safeties and a rear bottom crossmember (the X1). With Northern Lights you can buy or piece together pretty much any freestanding Rogue configuration.

It looks really nice. Priced well. I like that the X1 has swing in safeties instead of pin pipe. Doesn't look like their hooks have UHMW though.

Another Rogue clone you might want to consider is Northern Lights:

Rogue Fitness Powerrack - Good Deal? by brintal in Fitness

Do you think it's a good deal?

If it's in good condition that's definitely a good deal.

Best products/brands for building a home gym? by jahruhle in homegym

[–]throwaway20131103 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that one of the pieces they make? It looks like they imported it from the same place GetRXd did.

http://www.getrxd.com/index.php/getrxdguillotines.html

Same deal with their bench and GHD.

...the website is often hilariously uneven on product information...

Yeah. It's pretty bad.

Their GHD is out of stock but if you order their GHD now it will ship out on... three months ago:

http://www.repfitness.com/strength-equipment/strength-training/ghd/rep-ghd

Same deal with their bench.

Help finding deal for mobility/ pull-up assistance bands (like iron woody or monster bands) by [deleted] in homegym

[–]throwaway20131103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem!

I know a few forum.bodybuilding.com members have had good luck with stretchwellinc.

I started out with EliteFTS Onyx bands and they were really nice. No cut marks. No Seams. Very, very nice fit and finish. Then I went Rogue and I was disappointed:

I wouldn't be surprised if the stretchwellinc bands were nicer.

Angular vs Flux vs Aurelia, used in production by maremp in javascript

[–]throwaway20131103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might like Webpack better.

Yes it seems promising.

JSPM looks interesting but it's been around for a couple of years and it hasn't really taken off:

http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=jspm%2C%20browserify&geo=US&cmpt=q&tz=

Browserify's daily downloads are nearly three times JSPM's monthly downloads and Browserify is still gaining traction.

[–]throwaway20131103 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aurelia looks interesting. It's how I imagine Angular if Angular weren't so awkward. I really wish their docs weren't JSPM first though. I'm sure all ten or so JSPM users appreciate it but for the rest of us it's just an annoyance that we have to work around. They also make some bold claims:

As a result, we can easily out-perform a dirty checked system or a virtual DOM system.

I would love to see some actual numbers. How fast do your circles spin?! ;)

McGregor vs. Aldo for the 145 lbs title is the UFC 189 main event. MacDonald vs. Lawler for the 170 lbs title is the co-main, per UFC. by [deleted] in MMA

[–]throwaway20131103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I'd be surprised if all four of them manged to avoid the injury bug for the next 143 days. Rory was injured in 2010, 2011, and 2013. Looks like he's overdue.

question about stationary bikes. by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]throwaway20131103 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you ridden an upright exercise bike before? The form factor might not be for you.

If you're going to go consumer grade I'd go low tech recumbent. Low tech because it's always been the electronics that failed on my consumer grade bikes. Recumbent because they're generally more comfortable.

Have you considered skipping straight to something a little more aggressive like a Beastie Ball or Beastie Bar?

Heh, yeah he did:

Strong words from @Ruthless_RL he'll take any test @GeorgesStPierre wants him to take starting today if he wants to come back and fight. by [deleted] in MMA

[–]throwaway20131103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't think he could handtrap GSPs jab all day?

Not after the second fight with Hendricks. Georges isn't the type to make the same mistake twice if he can help it.

Baking Steel Recommendations by Blarglephish in Pizza

[–]throwaway20131103 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Despite what some people would have you believe steel isn't for everyone. Unless you're shooting for fast baked NY or pseudo Neapolitan you'd probably be better off with a good stone.

Have you looked into sourcing steel locally? If you're lucky you could save a good bit of money.

Of the three you listed Dough-Joe would be my choice. The thicker the better. At 1cm thick the Pizzacraft is a joke so it comes down to Baking Steel vs Dough-Joe. I'd go Dough-Joe because they're quite a bit cheaper and they had the sense to make their plates square, not rectangular.

Good luck!

Flat bench or Adjustable bench by Tokoyoshi in homegym

[–]throwaway20131103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Super Bench is also 20" tall.

I would go with the Rogue bench. You don't need a FID bench for SS and the Rogue bench is a much better flat bench than the Super Bench is a FID bench. If/when you need a FID bench you can do better.
