the threat was more effective than the trigger pull. trust the orange idiot to show the world our bare ass.

global cooperation is the answer, but no… assuming a zero sum game (a game america is ill prepared to “win”) is the mantra of decades of psychotic us leadership. so tired of this planet sized madhouse.

ok, this is offiically the best thing I have seen all day.

yes, they are smaller, aerobic, slow twitch muscle fibers. my endurence comment was more related to delivering oxygen to the muscle, but was sloppy. was waiting for someone to poke me over it :-)

smaller functional muscle fibre size is one of the reasons you will often see very svelte endurance athletes.

you can build both slow twitch and the 2 types of fast twitch muscle fibers simultaneously with well planned workouts, but dont worry too much about this. your body will adapt to whatever you train for, just keep a good mix of everything you have mentioned so far and your body will respond.

never neglect the cardio though. a resonable mix of HIIT cardio will add aerobic capacity without sacrificing muscle mass or size. your high rep. punches with 16oz gloves will take care of shoulder endurance.

alas, public funding of actual technological wizardry steals eyeballs away from the social sideshow, so… *snip*

if you are looking for volume, research bodybuilding - its a specific approach. strength training is also different. what you are likely experiencing is endurance (muscle/cardio/etc) training in addition to the skill bumps.

fat wont hold back muscle gain, but it will hide it. good news is that as you more build muscle, you burn more calories. less mass means better cardio, which builds muscle endurance.

good luck with the boxing! its a fantastic martial art.

Honestly he should sue for slander/libel and endangerment to his self/family for someone making such claims.

I think that might actually help the doj by providing an accepted definition.

this will likely come down to the govts whimsical attempt to criminally define clearly amorphous (but protected) speech for its prosecutorial benefit. a criminal case should loose lose instantly up and down the courts. we may get a chance to test that.

Two minutes into its flight, the rocket reached the Kármán line, the internationally-recognised border for space at 100km. A minute later, it reached it’s peak altitude of 121.6km.

I would be happy to just dream in this kind of joy.

Fuck James Comey

well, yes… but. if the trump directed doj pursues a charge, its a serious 1st amendment challenge. we can all individually guess at motive, but another pillar may get publicly tested.

there is no “set” definition

👍 bread & circus about to get a whole lot circus-ier. wonder if they have the balls to charge?

agreed. mcdojos abound.

quality muay thai will have you hitting thai pads constantly (if you know, you know!) - you quickly learn what a delivered strike actually feels like. most muay thai places also dedicate at least half of all mat time to sparring, clinch work and 1 day of hard sparring (rare-ish but real danger of cracked ribs, gloved/guarded concussive strikes with 6 of the 8 points - elbows generally excluded, but unpadded knees welcomed!). good gyms will have a ring or cage - cant run, you have to engage.

most solid BJJ places will not promote you to blue and beyond unless you have competed in an open tournament or participate in hard gym rolls (have to stay active and genuine risk of a chokeout or joint hyperextension submission)

having said that, do it for whatever reasons you want because, at the very minimum, you will get fantastic cardio. let’s face it - if you are alone, running remains a 100% legit defensive tactic.

But hit the gym guys. Be ready.

absolutely!

• learn to jab and cross (sometimes its all you need. seriously!)
• learn a little takedown defense
• get comfortable in a ground scramble to get upright fast
• quality muay thai is fantastic for standup and a quick learn for mid/close range striking
• bjj if you have time (of limited use outside of pure one on one, but good bjj is personal development rocket fuel)
• learn a firearm if thats your vibe

no heros needed, but intelligently help to defend youself and your fam as best as you can.

ding, ding, ding! close rural offices, make phone support unworkable with additional staff cuts and deadend “AI” phone IVR and finally ensure that online interactions are impossible.

hundreds of billions will be saved on the bodies of dead Americans to help pay for those trillionaire tax cuts.

“obviously more than she would see in you.”

a disk access change in the upcoming postgres release makes my day. I think I may need help of some sort. :-/

oh, ffs! just call him a “imbecilic moron that will be ignored” and move on. tired of the attention paid to his every mental bowel movement.

TNG. coming off of TOS, they absolutely made it their own. everything about it was both fresh and familiar. perfection.

[greater than the] sum of the parts, my friend.

firefox and the noscript extension should get you the article. consider running noscript anyway for internet hygiene reasons.

the “weird cults” are now in your pocket and with you 24/7. I would argue that the negative effect of LLMs (and their masters) on society potentially runs much deeper than your comment suggests.

“You grew up in South Africa,” Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law and Fox News host, said in the new interview. “You lived during a period of Apartheid. I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of horrific things. So to be called a Nazi by people, to be made out to be this monster, that must be really hard for you.”

motherf*cker, you and your ilk were the oppressors. everything pre and post indicates that it was perfectly fine with you and yours. “white” washing at its finest. now, gtfo!
