The pre-charged kits

congrats on the installation! had not heard about of these before, but makes sense. so many questions…

are we talking a 100% closed, pre charged system with both units charged - no drying or long prep needed? anything special to do between the compressor and the air handler on final connection? with supplied gear, how did everything work for you in routng lines and positioning the air handler and compressor units?

have been thinking of adding a minisplit to my server room as additional/failure-state cooling and would usually want to use a pro for the work, but this is intriguing.

again, nice detail oriented weekend work!

yes, they are smaller, aerobic, slow twitch muscle fibers. my endurence comment was more related to delivering oxygen to the muscle, but was sloppy. was waiting for someone to poke me over it :-)

smaller functional muscle fibre size is one of the reasons you will often see very svelte endurance athletes.

you can build both slow twitch and the 2 types of fast twitch muscle fibers simultaneously with well planned workouts, but dont worry too much about this. your body will adapt to whatever you train for, just keep a good mix of everything you have mentioned so far and your body will respond.

never neglect the cardio though. a resonable mix of HIIT cardio will add aerobic capacity without sacrificing muscle mass or size. your high rep. punches with 16oz gloves will take care of shoulder endurance.

if you are looking for volume, research bodybuilding - its a specific approach. strength training is also different. what you are likely experiencing is endurance (muscle/cardio/etc) training in addition to the skill bumps.

fat wont hold back muscle gain, but it will hide it. good news is that as you more build muscle, you burn more calories. less mass means better cardio, which builds muscle endurance.

good luck with the boxing! its a fantastic martial art.

Honestly he should sue for slander/libel and endangerment to his self/family for someone making such claims.

I think that might actually help the doj by providing an accepted definition.

this will likely come down to the govts whimsical attempt to criminally define clearly amorphous (but protected) speech for its prosecutorial benefit. a criminal case should loose lose instantly up and down the courts. we may get a chance to test that.

Fuck James Comey

well, yes… but. if the trump directed doj pursues a charge, its a serious 1st amendment challenge. we can all individually guess at motive, but another pillar may get publicly tested.

there is no “set” definition

👍 bread & circus about to get a whole lot circus-ier. wonder if they have the balls to charge?

“obviously more than she would see in you.”

oh, ffs! just call him a “imbecilic moron that will be ignored” and move on. tired of the attention paid to his every mental bowel movement.

TNG. coming off of TOS, they absolutely made it their own. everything about it was both fresh and familiar. perfection.

someone reach out! I feel a house lawyer in the making.

how about an ad tailored precisely by your recent history - graphics/audio/content and all, delivered to you in different ways depending on how you are feeling at any given moment? an instant and dynamic money extraction machine shaping and shaped by your second by second stream of clicks and queries, completing the transformation of everyone into lab monkeys.

ai is already your online sig-o, friend, assistant, whatever, so…?

Before she was a judge, Dugan worked as a poverty attorney and executive director of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

well there’s her original sin! not defending the the powerful against the unwashed hordes.

❤️,seriously.

not disagreeing with you - I find performative “wrestle drama” absolutely, mind numbingly pointless. my preference is to participate in (and ocassionally watch) unscripted combat sport.

however… I have trained competitive martial arts for decades (muay thai, bjj, others) and most of these “wrestling” participants are pretty skilled athletes. it takes training to turn combinations of techniques designed to injure into something reasonably harmless. there is a pretty fine line separating sparring from a fight.

I know you know this, but its still useful to remember that these players are actors as well as athletes and that can obviously be pretty inviting for a lot of viewers.

in typical trump fashion - take a dump on the desk and walk out of the room. shart of the deal!

the man has 10,000 alibis in every us state and territory. sounds like reasonable doubt to me.

he brings live shakespearean actor mojo to the small screen and makes zero fucking apologies for it. its like watching a honda civic do a quarter mile with a corvette engine.

best. captain. eva.

I am glad you picked this one out. the court is throwing down the gauntlet on who gets essential non-citizen constitutional protections. residents means everyone, y’all (or at least something meaningfully close).

such a beautiful judicial middle finger to the executive. want some joy in your life right now? read this order. seriously.

thank you for linking this. I hope it stays or finds another home.

100%

anything that creates emotional space enough for people to gather, contemplate and talk is a good thing. we need people willing to see and say that “none of this is ok”.

if they end up marching in the streets, great! but I will be happy with them simply taking to their prayer group and repeating that “none of this is ok”.

edit: humanity, apathy, stupidity and hate are powerful things, but when apathy falls away I believe humanity can bend the majority toward our better proclivities, even through the stupidity and hate.
