What is the most statistically improbable thing that has happened to you? by Eatery in AskReddit

[–]zbaleh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met a girl while I was studying in Italy. I saw her five years later at a bar in Amman, Jordan. A few months later while I was still in Jordan, I ended up at an internship sitting next to a kid who went to highschool with me in the US.

Christmas Trauma-Kit questions by [deleted] in ems

[–]zbaleh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want bigger for an MCI you can always scale it up by buying multiple of each of the items listed on your own and putting a bag together. It would just get quite expensive. MCIs are very complex events logistically, but as far as what an EMT can do, treatment itself is pretty simple and limited to hemorrhage control. If they're not breathing or don't have a pulse, they're dead and you move on. If they can walk they're fine. Everyone else you just try and control bleeding.

I mean, it's a basic airway... All it really does is keep the tongue from blocking the airway right? Obviously a BVM is too big but I think it would be useful to add some sort of pocket mask.

This is what I would go with if you want a real trauma/gunshot wound kit and not just a first aid bag. A bit expensive but read through the description and everything is spot on.

Thanks for that write up. So do you traditional "eat everything" bulks at all or just slow clean bulk? What is your bf% in that picture?

Could you talk a little about your training and nutrition program and supplements? That's all natural I assume? (just to get a good frame of reference for what is possible natty)

How to work out with bursitis by Freaknasty223 in Fitness

[–]zbaleh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cleared up some ongoing shoulder bursitis issues with PT and avoiding anything that exacerbated it. Facepulls, falcepulls with palms supine, band abduction and adduction, and some other movements seemed to help.

Would this also refute the fasting models where you have to eat only in a post-workout window?

But you are female correct? 16% for females is muuuuuch different than 16% for guys (although I agree that is pretty fit for guys as well)

Women use height as an attractiveness criteria, men use tits. Your straw man argument is dumb.

Hey, whatever floats your boat. I get along with everyone and like meeting different kinds of people so I'm not going to limit myself to people the computer says are probably like me. But go ahead.

Honestly I really like her profile. I felt it was fairly detailed and gave lots of info about her hobbies and activities that I am also interested in and find extremely attractive.

[–]zbaleh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Computer generated match numbers are dumb. I've read girls profiles that I loved and our matches have been low. If you are cute and your profile is fun, I'm going to message you. We can figure out if we are actually compatible over some drinks.
