TopicFor all the talk of GameFAQs ''dying'' no-one believed it would actually die

Next year will be my 20th year here on GFAQs/CE, and to be honest I probably stopped enjoying coming here around 2014/15. Ive been coming back simply out of habit not because I enjoy it anymore.

Ive never posted that much, but many of the users that have remained since the boards started dying in the early 2010s are the terminally online unhinged types and tbh its made the place pretty toxic. CE used to be fun, but its been a pretty miserable/negative place for a while now.

I think its time for it to die.

Im fine with being a Yugi-boomer. The modern game sucks unless youre a turbo nerd.

Heres the world championship from 2023. Duel starts at :30, player 2s turn doesnt start until 9:44.

If Clark puts the asses in the seats like she did in college then the money will come.

However, theres a very real chance that Clark only amounts to an above average player in the WNBA. It is unlikely she puts up the numbers she did in college that made her a superstar.

I accept the reality that all dog breeds are capable of and do bite/attack people and its not just pitbulls

However, I quite literally have never seen another breed exhibit the level of blood lust that pitbulls do. They were designed to kill, plain and simple. Not a suitable breed to be around people or other animals and should be enforced as such

TopicHow do you count Dumbbell weight ?
gamer167
04/05/24 7:19:46 PM

boomgetchopped3 posted...


a dumbbell press with 2 30lb weights is equivalent to a 60 pound bar press. In fact lifters are usually stronger on bar presses.


It is not equivalent.

A bar in the context of an open chain exercise makes it a bilateral movement, a dumbbell makes it a unilateral movement. If the weight is not connected each limb is lifting the weight through space without assistance from the other limb. Meaning each limb is lifting 30lbs. hence he is lifting 30lbs.

The weight is whatever weight the dumbbell is, doesnt matter if youre lifting two 30lb dumbbells at the same time or lifting one 30lb dumbbell at a time. Its 30lbs

Great carbonation and great flavors. It took me a few cans to get used to the taste, but it hits the craving.

Back in the day even flip phones with T9 typing and texting only were a distraction in school, and we had to hide them and be discrete when using them

gamer167

Exercise physiology isnt exactly a large or super well supported/funded research field, we have a decent handle on the basics and common best practices but a lot of the specifics are still considered theory so theres quite a debate amongst some people when it comes to optimization. Though arguably optimal exists on a spectrum and is different for everyone.

A large portion of everything we know today about exercise science came from places like Russia in the early/mid 1900s, weve learned a lot since then but havent gotten too much further really.
