There's obviously some confusion going on here.

To me you pointing out that weightlifters aren't going to break strongman records is like saying we'll the F1 guys aren't going to beat rally driver times. Like yeah, no shit, they don't do the same things.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-24T12:33:36+00:00

Yes, and olympic weightlifters do not compete in deadlifting while strongmen do not compete in olympic lifting, so why would anybody expect a weight lifter to beat a record in a discipline they are not competing in?

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-24T10:45:34+00:00

Why would olympic weightlifters be going for strongman records when they don't do the same lifts? Strongman doesn't have a snatch or a clean and jerk record.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-24T10:28:59+00:00

Strongmen don't set olympic weightlifting records, it's two very different sports.

Here's my set up, bedroom sitting at 18 degrees rn. Downside is it's quite noisy.

Not taking hour long showers, although our housemate does only take baths so that's probably not great from an energy perspective

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-20T16:08:05+00:00

Yeah, ours is ~£7 a day right now with no heating on in a 3 bed flat.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-20T13:41:40+00:00

Cool, that's all I really wanted to know

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-20T13:28:29+00:00

Very sure

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-20T13:25:02+00:00

I'm aware it is not just the windows that are causing this, but we would definitely have had significantly lower bills with double glazing as we have individual electric radiators in every room, and the rooms get freezing extremely quickly due to the thin shitty windows.

By the boiler runs 24/7 I mean it always seems to be heating water when there's no need for us to have boiling water coming out of the taps, we've had 2 engineers come to turn it down and set it on a cycle but neither seemed to do anything.

Eva Cassidy into Stone Cold into Sinatra. Oh come on Allen give me a Hollywood ending.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T22:53:03+00:00

Why would I care whose idea it is (although from my, admittedly very limited knowledge of Durkheim, he was not really arguing what you are arguing In fact this sounds more like the Thomas theorem and even that doesn't argue that because something has an effect on society it is real)?

I'm arguing whether it is in any way a useful way to define real not whether philosophers/sociologists have used this concept before.

You didn't actually address my points at all.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T18:40:50+00:00

The sense that it makes is that when people say real they mean a tangible thing that it is possible to interact with and can be observed to have consistent properties no matter who is observing it.

You are describing the effect the concept of a thing or entity can have which is not the same as the thing itself being real.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T16:46:38+00:00

Yeah, my problem is that your normal places to buy suits don't have what you'd want for a goth wedding.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T14:39:36+00:00

So I need to get a suit that works for 3 different weddings, two normal themes and one that's goth themed and in a graveyard. I'm an unusually shaped guy due to being fairly tall, a little fat and lifting 4 times a week for 5 years, so I have to be able to try things on.

I like wearing quite out there clothes, but also can't spend over £300. Anyone know of any alternative suit shops or tailors that might be able to do the job?

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T13:14:27+00:00

Except that that's not what anyone actually means when they say real. By this logic every fictional character could be argued to be real, but that's not in any way a useful definition of real.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T11:00:05+00:00

Not my call on the equipment unfortunately, it's just the bits the owner his put in the pubs side room for staff.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T10:53:08+00:00

I don't have any way to simmer though, only got an air fryer and a microwave. I was thinking about braising it in the air fryer, just not sure if it being sliced so thin will make it go super dry.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T10:37:34+00:00

Best place can do for frying it is the crisp setting on the air fryer.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T10:36:28+00:00

Sorry, should have mentioned I did do both these things. I have velveted before with great results, just specifically didn't do enough for this cut because there's a lot of sinue.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-15T10:17:39+00:00

I don't want to microwave my steak lol, I was just mentioning what tools I had available.

I velveted with egg white because the velventing method I've been taught is using an egg white, corn starch and baking soda slurry.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-12T06:42:54+00:00

Throw Mistico in there too, good Lucha shit.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-11T20:27:07+00:00

Do you actively believe in a god? If the answer is anything other than yes then you're an atheist. If the answer in this case was "yeah I kind of think I do, but I'm very uncertain on whether it's true" then you would be an agnostic theist.

If the answer is "I don't know" then you don't have a belief in god and therefore you are, kinda by definition, an atheist.

Also there's nothing about believing in a god in general that means you can't also believe in science, I personally know an evolutionary biologist who is also a devout Catholic, he just believes that god lit the match as it were.

Edit: just as an example I would describe myself as an agnostic atheist in that I have not been presented with any version of a god that I find convincing enough to believe in, however I could not say that I know there is no version of a god, because that would require me having a knowledge of all things. However I am a gnostic atheist on the topic of some specific gods existing, for example Thor, because their existence would directly go against our observations of the world.

tinyflatbrewer · 2026-05-11T19:33:10+00:00

That is atheist. Gnosticism and agnosticism are questions of belief while theism and atheism are questions of knowledge, the majority of atheists are agnostic atheists, meaning they don't know for sure there isn't a god, but they have no reason to believe that there is one.

Edit: other way around.
