I think it would be hard to imagine what a heavy lift feels like if you never done it. The pinky example might have helped just because it gave the test subjects an example of what muscle it works, firing the pinky and the ring finger at the same time would be a stronger pull because they share the flexor digitorum profundus. They also would have had to test it first to establish a baseline.

I think that one reason people have trouble with pullups is that they just don't understand how to tense up their entire body torso to pull themselves up.

Short term thinking is because of incentives. Executives are given options so they want to juice the stock price while they are CEO.

That works in theory. In practice each company has their own overhead which increases their service fees.

They regulated nat gas in my state and the service fee is more than the gas consumed.

My state deregulated natural gas which meant that despite the city owning the delivery and turning on and off the gas each for profit company had to have their own HQ, marketing budget, customer service, sales team, and C-suite.

The fixed service fee cost $40/month which was more than the natural gas consumed every month but Jan/Feb. They also make cancelling difficult, I was put on hold for 40 minutes without an music so I didn't know if I had been disconnected or was just on hold.

Electric is run by one company and their service fee is $15/mo. Their customer service is also much better.

Nixon was not aware of Watergate.

He was threatened with impeachment for lying about it after he found out it had happened.

The House of Saud luckily isn't an employee of the state. They are the state.

The GOP only defines a deficit as bad when Democrats hold power.

People often don't socialize with their neighbors in a big city because it's nice to have a place where you aren't expected to socialize.

Sometimes I don't want to have a conversation with my neighbor who I really don't have anything in common with except they live next door.

In a big city you can find people that are exactly your tribe or explore a new one.

They know.

When I was 11, my 7 year old brother, 3 year old sister and I were all diagnosed with cavities at the same visit.

We had no symptoms and never had a cavity after.

I think he had a gambling debt he had to pay off.

I’m remodeling a room in my house and I’ve used Gemini help me troubleshoot problems and it works pretty well. It’s come up with a lot of ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of. Of course it’s contradicted itself a few times too so you have to think about what you’re doing as well.

What if I told that all fiction books were fantasy?

I think sports gambling should be legal because otherwise the Bookies will kill you if you can't pay your debts. At least with legal gambling the worst that can happen is bankruptcy.

The gambling institutions have some regulation as well.

I do think that gambling ads should be banned just like cigarettes, and pharmaceuticals.

USA and New Zealand are the only places that allow pharma ads and the public is uninformed to make that decision but the Agency problem means MDs will prescribe those drugs.

I've had several devices fail right before the new model was released.

So frustrating.

Velocidrone $20 is the most popular sim with the pros. It's designed to be the most accurate at as cost of graphic detail.

They have open races every week.

I can place in the top 300 sometimes.

You can see the FPV of any of the races. The fastest pilots fly so fast it's insane. It's hard for me to comprehend how they can even comprehend what they are seeing.

They will fly though a 3 gate ladder(aka corkscrew) in 1.5 seconds.

If I ever get rich, I would totally open a ghost pizza restaurant.

Margins are good. Spoilage is a non-issue.

Orders are pickup or delivery.

I can bring 10 pizzas to every party.
