deadlifts 350

becomes mayor of a mid sized city

deadlifts 400

becomes mayor of a larger city

This is how it works right?

That is true. Spain and Italy for sure do

I would guess part of it would be tied to the history of the industrial revolution starting jn England and Germany but probably not the whole story

Those nerds homo habilis didnt even ingest unnatural molecules hmmpf

And East Asians. And Latino cultures. And (fill in non European culture here probably)

“You should stop being so quiet” or “joke around with them (the bullies) they are just goofing around”

Ugh

Gotta catch em all but nukes?

I grew up in Ohio and lived a bit overseas and then jn the south. I got so excited seeing them last summer visiting family.

I use crumpled up paper at the bottom of mine. Oxygen and the chimney do wonders to get it started. Living in the suburbs I’m always grossed out when I walk by an outdoor BBQ and smell lighter fluid.

I also love Alton Brown and there are other videos that will teach you how to do a lot on a simple Weber style kettle grill.

Also: once you get other accessories like pans to hold and divide the charcoal for indirect heating then you’ll even open up more especially if you have a thermometer in the grill. While keeping it as low as a smoker isn’t easy it’s not impossible and I’ve done some great pork and slower cooked meats on mine.

Also with charcoal you can get creative and use basic smoking to elevate your game.

Also don’t light it with lighter fluid, a starter chimney is the way to go.

Pros for charcoal: you get to drink beer, play with fire, and grill and get credit for it.

Pros with propane: king of the hill and it’s easy to clean up

You mean you don’t yell “that’s not cool, man,” and then pull out a skateboard, do a kick flip, and then ride off?!

Thanks, dad!

😆

Good luck! I need to do that with running more.

The one on the right looks like a Roman dodecahedron

I gotta say one “good” thing about Xitter being so stupid is that I don’t doomscroll the site like I did when I was on. While I’m glad that Nitter exists because we need to keep an eye out for crazy, anyone who wants to avoid doomscrolling and losing brain cells might want to skip that link for their mental health’s sake.

I love those robots. I wish my kids still watched so I had an excuse 😆

Perhaps parking a site for traffic and then using the enshitified data to sell it?

It makes me sick how dumb it sounds.

I agree. Have a basket for keys and wallet and stuff you take out in one place. Have a spot for your vape or headphones in say a computer desk drawer. It’s the only thing that works for me and even then I struggle.

This is one thing where so many people I talk to got unlucky. For me, SSRIs were super lucky in that they helped alleviate depression caused by my anxiety which then helped me find other roots of the anxiety. Turns out undiagnosed ADHD is terrible for your anxiety - got diagnosed though!

Side effects for me have included stomach issues and weight not coming off even as my physical condition improves as I’ve started running again. I’ll take it for now until I start weaning off in the future. I wouldn’t say they were a lifesaver but they helped immensely.

This is all awesome but any mind altering substance really needs to be used with a therapist when we are talking about average people in a large population. I’d also argue they both have benefits but their drawbacks are just too strong.

Weed is mostly non addictive but comes with other issues and isn’t perfect. Heart issues? Family history of schizophrenia? Either of those could be really bad. Is this a good argument for legalization and harm reduction? Yes. I’m not sure about widespread psychiatric use though. Perhaps more with a therapist but that therapist would be key - similar to the shamans of indigenous cultures.

I also totally agree with these not being long term. I love weed but the “420 smoke every dayyyyyyy” culture also ignores the need to work on yourself and do the work with a clear head. I think that internal (ideally drug free and sober) work gets you to the point of not only benefitting from these drugs but avoiding their abuse.
