One of my old bosses once went to the police station when he was drunk or high (or both) to complain about something crazy, and maybe about a crazy person trying to drive his car that he was actually driving. I think they talked him into spending the night while they checked it out. He had issues.
I’ve heard an old man use it this way a long time ago in the west. You would only hear it from someone who’s very old or thinks they’re a polite cowboy.
“opens new tab”
What?
I still feel bad for the 1 kid in jr high whose parents refused to let him do the sex ed section. 13yos are assholes enough, they didn’t really need something else to use to make fun of him for.
My dad is a gun collector, so I was around them my entire life, but gun safety was also part of my entire life. We understood what they were and what they could do. So if my friends ever said “can we see your dad’s guns?” It was always “no.”
So, the rectum (poops last stop before freedom) is actually deep inside your pelvis as your colon makes the turn from the left side to the center, so your massage isn’t moving the poop out like squeezing a toothpaste tube. However, it lies close to some internal muscles like the iliacus which can put pressure on it if they’re stiff or inflamed (not unheard of in western society), and massaging them can get them to relax and relieve the pressure.
You’re certainly not hurting anything with this, and since you’ve been doing it for so long, you may have developed a psychosomatic connection that might actually help your bowels do their work. It’s weird, but go right ahead massaging the shit out of yourself because it might help in some way.
I feel like, at least in America – and it might be just my part of America – we feel like our hobbies have to make us look better. I can’t just take photos, they have to be really good photos and I should look into selling them. You can’t just like to make cakes, you have to make amazing cakes and do it for friends’ parties. There’s not enough emphasis on just do something you like because it makes you happy. This doesn’t have to be a competition. It doesn’t matter if your shit is abysmal as long as you enjoy doing it. Have fun!
Agree: for most people, the beer gut is more pronounced because of the laxity of the front abs (also causing a hyper extended spine which causes back pain), it’s not all just fat. So, proper training and strengthening of the abs will help pull those things back in line, but won’t do much for burning off fat.
No. You cannot target areas to lean out. This also holds for exercise: doing sit-ups will not burn the fat off your abs. The fat will also not necessarily come off evenly. Sometimes it does, sometimes the saddlebags stay until the bitter end even when your ribs are clearly visible. Genetics does play a role, but it can be dealt with.
(I’m a trainer and physiologist and helping people to lose fat is something I do.)
I’m in this particular loop at work where I don’t want and don’t really need an account, so I’m going to pretend I didn’t see this and if you could ensure that IT doesn’t see this, that’d be great, thanks.
I’m an athlete and a biomechanics student who studies this sort of thing. Technically, if you do the physics, yes, pavement is harder than dirt. Will your body actually notice that difference given the forces that you experience from an easy run in modern shoes? Not likely. For a few hours a day, day in and day out over decades, then yes you will. But if you run a few miles once or twice a week, no, you probably won’t see a huge difference. (And most trails frequented by runners are packed dirt that is not much softer than pavement. Getting onto shift and squishy loam tails isn’t feasible for everyone.)
I have lots because Colorado falls are roller coasters with temp.
On “warm” 50⁰ days, I’m usually do a base layer of a Nike pro lycra shirt and shorts, then typical jersey and shorts with arm and knee warmers.
On cooler days, same bases, but with a warmer jersey and maybe fleece knickers or tights. The fleece cycling gear is always smaller than the summer gear and stretches less as well, so I find it very uncomfortable. Maybe lycra booties, ear warmer and comfy gloves (love the head gloves from Costco).
If I’m crazy and it’s under 20⁰, then a very warm capo jacket over a long sleeve base layer and 2 layers of tights sandwiching my shorts (or a unique pair of pearl izumi wind proof tights), warm pearl gloves, warm hat and neoprene booties. If I’m lucky, I’ll last an hour.
When I realized I could say “I’ve been doing this for 20 years”.
When I have my MacBook connected to an external monitor through USB adapters, it does drain a little faster. I haven’t tested if my HDMI monitor connected directly does as well, but I’m sure it would. Any external monitor should require some extra GPU resources which means more energy which means your battery should drain faster. How much faster depends on lots of things.
Same exact story. The whole first 2 hours I’m constantly having my kids Google Google how to lock the car, how do we adjust the mirrors, how do we turn it on, how do we change the radio station, how do we turn on the air, etc etc etc. On the third day my daughter is just trying to open the door and she yells “why is this car so fucking annoying?!”
It’s obvious it was designed by a child trying to look cool to the other kids.
Plus, if you buy directly from the manufacturer, you know you’re getting a legit product with a good warranty. Some brands also have stores that double as service centers. If I order Nikes and they don’t fit, I can return them to the local Nike store. Many offer free shipping just like Amazon, easy returns, better color choices and no creepy tracking or crazy knockoffs.
This is what I do when I know the other person will insist on buying (like they always do). Had a friend who always bought lunch for years before I finally got there first.
In other situations, the classy thing is to say “please allow me to get this; I insist. You can get the next one.”
I feel obliged to wear a speedo because I’m old
Honestly, this is probably almost exactly how it went down
