Hey @GrantSSC. Have you noticed that training people over 40 requires a longer break in between sets? I think I need 8-10 min for SS exercises except for bench.

I don’t think I’ve ever taken a break that long between sets. Seems a really excessive time to me.
I’m not trying to be tough or anything, but it does seem a long rest. I usually take 2-3 minutes between sets, if that. I’m 44.
Still no replacement for most of the Firefox extensions I use and require to function on the internet.
Fuck you, Mozilla. Die soon. Fuck you.
This is a good and accurate article about monitors.
To sum things up, I don’t see a problem with 24” 4k displays or even 27” displays. I use both with macOS and love both, never had any problems. Of course, 5k or 6k would be better, but those go in the “nice to have” category. 4k is a must-have, an absolute minimum for anyone working with text.
Agreed. If you don’t have at least a 4K display, and you work with text routinely, then you are just screwing yourself and your eyes. And who wants to be screwed in the eye?! No one, that’s who.
I’m always flummoxed by people who use absolutely shitty eye-destroying monitors to save $100 over five years. What a waste.

Yep, that’s the standard term of art in infrastructure for this. Has been used for 30+ years.
I’m sure all the fussypants people will want to change it because if offends someone or other, but it’s been around a long time.
I know they are not, but when I hear people assert they cannot tell the difference between 4K, 5K and low-res 1080p and below (etc.) I just think they have to be lying.
The difference is so obvious and plain to me that…how could you not be able to tell? It’s like having a kitten and a T. Rex in front of you and saying, “These look the same to me. No difference at all.”
Human visual systems just aren’t that different. I don’t have Superman eyes. What’s going on here? (And yes I can tell reliably even when I don’t know what the monitor is.)
If libs cared about what are real risks to them, instead of carping about people outside not wearing masks they’d work hard on losing weight, getting fit and not eating garbage. And they’d never ride in or drive a car again.
Today I've been thinking of 2020 less as the year of unexpected shocks & catastrophes more as the year predictions came true. For decades concerned people have studied the likelihood of many bad things happening & proposed intelligent ways to prevent or mitigate them.

Same. 2020 is the year we finally entered the “consequences” phase of many past fuck-ups, flubs, fumbles and failures. Quite predictable! We knew climate change was on its way; we knew a pandemic was inevitable, and we knew inequality and lack of a functional medical system were extremely dangerous.
Yet we did nothing. Not only did nothing — we made them all worse after many, many warnings. So, as I said: predictable. Don’t listen to the “Who could have known?” crowd. They are just attempting to excuse their past inaction and present incompetence.
Many knew and have known for years.
As face masks become the norm, many wearers quietly suffer “mask anxiety.”
This is me. I hate wearing the mask more than anything else I’ve ever had to wear or do. I’d rather never go out if I had any choice than wear a mask.
If this become the liberal virtue signaling norm after the pandemic eases (which is likely), I’ll just not be able to participate in public life again.
Cannot breathe or think while wearing a mask. Does not get any better.
What blows my mind about people defending RBG is the ahistoricism. People weren't urging her to retire in because they didn't like her. It was because of the possibility that *the exact series of events that has happened* would happen.
And yet: "how could she have known?"

That’s the dipshit assclown mook defense againt everything. Something completely obvious, predicted well in advance occurs, and these shitheels are like, “How could anyone possibly have known?”
Repeats constantly, people fall for it. Which is I guess why it repeats. It works.
I’ve had a few people from my old job, after they made fun of me back in February for preparing for the pandemic, ask me how I knew what was going to happen.
Well, I didn’t “know” in any conventional sense. I examined the risks, determined a spectrum of likely outcomes ordered by probability and impact, and decided to hedge, as a good trader always does. It’s just as simple as that. I don’t have a crystal ball or psychic powers. I just know how to manage risk.
