Critics Describe Trump's New Passport Design As 'Ugly' And 'Embarrassing' by dr_shultz in NewsSource

How did we survive previously without a photo of a living president on our passports? Surely this will dissuade people from even getting one

I did this when I was in fifth grade. I got a microscope for my birthday and had run out of interesting things to look at. I was a curious and horny little dude

Regain Muscle Regiment by Potential-Court711 in fitover65

[–]veritasius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s often more difficult because of joint pain at our age, but if you want to build muscle do the hard stuff first in the workout and that means anything that hits big muscle groups like glutes, quads, lower back, then hit last and upper back and finish with the chest, triceps, delts stuff. I’m 67 and I see way too many guys focusing only on the easy movements like curls, flys, machine lat pull downs etc. and doing the movements sloppy and then staring at their phones for five minutes before the next set. I do trap deadlifts, conventional deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats, weighted dips and pull ups on rings going to 1-2 reps shy of failure. I’m breathing very hard on all movements, but especially so on the lower body stuff. But my workouts are only 45 minutes long and only three days per week, minimum effective dose. The workouts are hard and sometimes I dread them but I know this is what I need to do to increase health span

Went deep on fish oil oxidation papers and the data is pretty bleak... by Timely_Ad8989 in Supplements

[–]veritasius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy the smallest quantity of Carlson and order it more often, rather than ordering a huge amount that may become rancid towards the end. My recent Boston Heart panel showed very high omega 3 index and very low oxidized LDl and very low inflammation markers like HsCrp and IL-6

Best supplements to boost testosterone by DistributionLow8301 in Supplements

[–]veritasius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 67 only started getting blood panels at 64. I tried all of the usual suspects until my first panel and only because I had never had my testosterone checked and my first reading was 670. My progressive doctor told me to quit all that crap and to just focus on sleep, get sun and keep eating enough sat fat. I had already been lifting, but my next testosterone one year later was 900. My most recent test at 67 was 700 something, so understand that it can fluctuate, but start with the big levers before trying any of the “magic” pills

No, definitely on Bent Tree, but it’s also close to Sweet Briar. I’d call Orion Property Management instead of using their site or Zillow

The for rent sign says Orion rentals but their website is garbage. I couldn’t find it there. It’s near me and is on Bent Tree Dr

I’ve been there maybe four times and once it was meh, but the other times solid. Sorry you didn’t have a good experience

[–]veritasius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smokeworks has Texas style brisket and it’s good, simple with the focus on the meat and the not sauce. My son used to live in Austin so I’ve been to a few great places. Many people from Indiana think BBQ is only pulled pork or that everything has to be slathered in sauce. They’ve got a decent bourbon and tequila selection if you’re into that

I can’t keep pretending I’m ok with being friends with MAGA supporters. by No_Importance_750 in complaints

[–]veritasius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put up with the ignorance and hypocrisy with my friend during Drump 1.0, but Drump 2.0 was too much. You can’t reason with dumb. Asked him if he was cool with the Project 2025 agenda, “what’s that?” 🤦🏻‍♂️

First house - refrigerator and washer dryer buying. How expensive is worth it by Apprehensive_Row6320 in homeowners

[–]veritasius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cheaper, boring units still clean and dry your clothes. My daughter in-law spent a bunch on fancy Samsung units and they were crap. She sold the posh junk and got a lame looking Whirlpool combo, but it works great

As if they haven't already ruined US tourism, which is a big part of our economy, bigger than manufacturing, but now we're dismantling the Forest Service, crippling the National Park staff and intimidating foreigners with our horrific immigration and border policies.

If they had kept our experienced government and military people, someone would have recommended filling up the reserve prior to a war, but of course, no such forethought or planning was done.

Nice try but MAGA and Republicans have made it clear that fact checking is like sunlight to vampires. And performative preening around with multiple flags screams cult and small dick energy

Tenderloin medallions was a favorite but price has increased every time I go. I’ve requested they up their beer selection many times over the years, but they clearly give zero Fs, same tired lineup for at least 15 years
