It is beautiful, but is that just a body on the floor to the left? ๐Ÿคฃ

All the funny responses I came up with for this would be huge spoilers, so you'll have to just take my word that they were hilarious.

A minimum wage that increases automatically with inflation. Otherwise it is only a solution for a very short time.

So David Bowie represents the Impossible-Gender, or the Beyond-Gender...? I can accept that.

[โ€“] Mastema 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You know... Maybe I interpreted the question wrong. I think I added the HYPER modifier to "gender", rather than "real". In my interpretation his gender sort of rotates in and out of 3d space like a hypercube. Now that I've noticed that the modifier was actually on "real", I'm trying to figure out if that changes my answer. Because, while I may not know exactly what gender Bowie was going for, I know that his instantiation of it was far more REAL than most people manage to achieve.

I would submit David Bowie as a counter example.

What's the weather like in Panama around September? I need someplace to relax for a month or so.

For really low rep, high weight workouts, you basically want to extend the rest between sets until you can do the 4-7 reps again. In some cases you are doing 5 reps, waiting 3 to 5 minutes, and then doing another 5 reps.

Once you are up to rep counts like 12 or 15, you should be at about 80% of your 1rm. Maybe about 80% of your 5 rep weight. Finishing your higher rep sets shouldn't really be in question, as you are going for speed and power on those, rather than maximum strength.

To say that differently, low rep exercises should be close to failure because of the weight used, but you get through it by taking as long as you need. Higher rep workouts should be done with a weight you can definitely finish with, but should be done explosively.

Let me know if that doesn't help.

Can you imagine the chaos/hilarity if they did this with the 380mm bombardment?

Oh... Would you look at that. My reading comprehension skills are ALSO unsafe...
