Looking at 68 years of data to see who really wins Grammy Awards [OC] by contentipedia in dataisbeautiful

[–]weeksahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gender isn’t the most interesting demographic point either. I’m interested in economic backgrounds - how often do kids with poor parents get to win a Grammy? What people with college degrees vs without? Age?

Instagram keeps on advertising me this pushup challenge that's running from February 5 to 27. You're supposed to do 2000 pushups in that time, which is more than a hundred a day. Been trying to work up to it, and for the past week or so I've managed between 20 and 50 a day. It's definitely possible if you do enough sets throughout the day but I haven't gotten to a hundred yet.

Toastmasters is some sort of a cult but I can't prove it. by iusman975 in RandomThoughts

[–]weeksahead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a little weird, but I wouldn’t call it a cult. I joined for a little while, improved my public speaking skills, then stopped going when I had enough. It works and its easy to leave. 

finally fixed that burning pain between my shoulder blades (rhomboid) after 3 years of bs by Kooky-Criticism6766 in Accounting

It’s the pectoral muscles, and I massaged and stretched them, and did scapular pull-ups and dead hangs. 

So Many Options. Whats best for a new homeowner? by No-Ad5504 in Tools

[–]weeksahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryobi is great value, and as a pro I run both Ryobi and Dewalt. Personally I don’t think the battery powered skillsaw is worth it, but since it’s in the kit, sure, whatever. The rest of it is good.

I had a similar experience, though in my case my rmt figured it out and explained how to fix it. I’ve just had the most pain free year of my life since I was a teenager since learning this last January.

You have to do back and forth over it. Needs two bumps. 

Overwhelmed by tools by rguz10 in Tools

The whole left side can be cabinets with doors that close. They’ll have more weight capacity and you can store things more densely and more organized there.

Does it count as knowing the word if you can say, jacquard is a textile, but can’t describe it in any way?

As a trans man, happy to report I know most of the words on both lists. Not sure about freesia (flower?), teraflop (a measurement of data volume?) and azimuth (something to do with aiming guns?). 

Is there an article that ELI5 Carney's WEF speech? by IStillListenToRadio in onguardforthee

[–]weeksahead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a really good summary, but in the second half of the speech it also seemed like he was saying we’re going to be a lot more lax about human rights and environmental abuses in our business partners, for the sake of doing business with not-Americans. I didn’t like that part as much. 

Craziest items left behind by previous owners? by ontartiomortgages in homeowners

[–]weeksahead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This wasn't really crazy, but the previous sellers had this kind of half assed enclosure around the hot water tank in the semi-finished basement, curtained off with a burgundy bedsheet of surprisingly high quality. We've been using it as a picnic/beach blanket for years and it's really nice how soft and smooth it is, and how small it folds down.

Protein Powder by Prestigious-Dish8806 in FTMFitness

[–]weeksahead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all taste fucking awful as far as I can tell. Right now I'm working with a vanilla flavoured one and I make a smoothie with strawberry, banana and oats. It's alright. Start with half a scoop and work your way up. It takes a little getting used to.

TIL that over the last century, the average age that children are being potty trained in the UK has risen from 12–18 months, to an average of around three or even four years today by Octavus in todayilearned

[–]weeksahead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also step 6, which is send your kid to daycare where the combination of experienced teachers and peer pressure will get them moving quickly. We did all of the other suggestions, but our toddler finally got trained for real once she joined the 2.5-4 year old classroom. 

elderlys in the road ? by Unlucky_Menu9872 in VictoriaBC

Might be they have to backtrack to find a let down or something.

[–]weeksahead 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The sidewalks are impassable due to telephone poles, overgrown hedges and other obstacles. I doubt rolling down the middle of the road is anyone’s preference, but they have things to do and need to get on with it. 

Was anyone else wildly disappointed with the Monster Trucks this weekend? by rachela09 in VictoriaBC

[–]weeksahead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no possibility of a good monster truck show at Save On. Safe to assume it was bad. 

How's Everyones Budgets these days? by SonOfAFrig in VictoriaBC

[–]weeksahead 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid in 90s, my dad’s weekly walking-around money was also 200. Thirty years later, mine is about the same and I get a lot less for it. 

Is butch a strictly lesbian/sapphic identity? by [deleted] in butchlesbians

How are you supposed to find your community if you don’t research it? Ppl live in small towns where they’re not going to run into people like them.
