| Topic | Is a mobile home worth buying as an alternative to renting? |
| philsov 04/12/24 9:27:34 AM #3 | generally not, only because of the logistics of needing to live in a relatively rural/suburban community near other people also with mobile homes will lead to additional commute time and expenses.
So it's "worth considering" but personally speaking I'd probably just as soon rent out to a slum lord and/or rent a decent place but with a roommate before fiddling with acquiring a singe wide and suffering through a 1 hour daily commute. --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. |

| Topic | How can a dumbbell cause cancer ? |
| philsov 04/09/24 5:18:24 PM #7 | the resin used somewhere in the set likely contains some sort of VOC whose fumes can cause cancer if taken in at very large concentrations and/or duration.
Given the product uses the cured version of the resin, it's mostly a non issue for you. But, if you just-so happen to get cancer, you probably can't successfully sue the dumbbell manufacturer (unless you have a lot of evidence to back you up) --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. |

| Topic | How do you count Dumbbell weight ? |
| philsov 04/05/24 5:27:00 PM #13 | cjsdowg posted...
If I am lifting two 30 pounds dumbbells is that 60 or 30 ? Like in overhead press? Together is what I do. What matters is if you're internally consistent in your own logs and schemes. If you only count single double (ie, OHP with 30's). so incrementing up to either "70 lbs" or "35's" is functionally the exact same weight. Like, ideally, you count the barbell when it comes to the weight on bench press et al. 135 lbs is the bar and one 45 on each side. If you only count the weight on one side (45') or the sum of the weights (90'), then it doesn't matter when you slap on those adorable 2.5 lb plates, so long as you are consistent. 140 = 47.5 = 95, in practice. It's just going to be a little funky when you're trying to help someone else and being like "yeah, I bench 90" when you really mean "yeah, I bench 225" --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. |

Algus and Delita are programmed to charge up the roof nearest to you and attack that archer, then they fan out from there.

He could also be talking about the people who see "lane merge, 1 mile" or similar notices for construction, where people don't try merge ahead of time and race right up to the bottleneck making everyone's commute longer as they jam up the line. That's actually the optimal way to do things. Merge at the merge point in a zipper-like fashion. Early merging is worse, because it prematurely backs up the line and allows others to be those assholes who blast on by and cause the line to back up again.
