How do you still not know how to take a screenshot?

Need advice on back exercises. by TrololololXDin Fitness

[–]odoyle489 2 points3 points ago

Deal lifts, weighted pullups and bent over rows. Your back will be bullet proof.

I can't hold the bar! by asksredditquestionsin Fitness

[–]odoyle489 0 points1 point ago

Drape some hand towels over a pull up bar, grab a handful with each hand and just hang there as long as you can before your grip gives out. Could even do some pullups or leg raises for maximum use of your time. You can also try farmer's walks, which will destroy your forearms and help your grip.

reddit, what would you do if you instantly became a billionaire right now? by aMANescapein AskReddit

[–]odoyle489 0 points1 point ago

I would buy a luxury penthouse in every major/awesome city in the world, fill each one with a full wardrobe for myself and a large variety of clothes for other people, and hire a part-time butler for each one. Then, I would purchase both a luxury personal jet and yacht.

From there, I would be able to travel wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted, with whomever I wanted, knowing that with just a phone call I could get whichever penthouse fully stocked with anything I needed before I arrived.

I would probably just be a billionaire playboy form there on out, since I wouldn't be able to believe that any friends I made after the fact weren't complete freeloaders.

Oh wow, this guy is just too much. He could be a satirical gym character. by Frankehin Fitness

[–]odoyle489 1 point2 points ago

I turned off the video after he look around the gym and said that everyone else obviously wasn't getting anything out of their membership and need a different methodology. Everyone shies away from him because what he's doing is "too crazy."

Yeah right, they're staying away from him because he's a tool, and they're not doing what he's doing because they don't want to nail and old man while sprinting around a corner holding weights above their head. He is in the wrong environment to be doing that type of work.

How much do mods really add to your game? by TheOneHighlanderin pcgaming

[–]odoyle489 0 points1 point ago

The mods available for Bethesda games will make the vanilla versions look like they were made by a basement indie studio.

Some mods available for Crysis turn it into one of the more photo-realistic games available.

The Total War games have some pretty killer gameplay/skin mods.

Other than that, it depends on the game, and depends on the mod. Console gamers tend to have no idea what they're missing since everything is dumbed down for their aging gear.

There are some games that are so mod-accessible that they never get old.

I am a SEAL Team Six Warrior (Book by Howard E. Wasdin) by HowardEWasdinin IAmA

[–]odoyle489 6 points7 points ago

I read your book "SEAL Team 6" in a single day. It was a very captivating story, and insightful towards an area of the military us civilians know little about.

In "Inside Delta Force," Eric Haney described how team members would sit in chairs next to, and sometimes in front the targets in their kill house. Do Team 6 trainees/members practice like this as well? How does one develop the confidence and skill to comfortably shoot up targets that are surrounded by their friends?

ELI5: What is cloud storage and how does it work? by Sproosemagoosein explainlikeimfive

[–]odoyle489 1 point2 points ago

On a similar note, cloud computing is kind of like accessing resources over the internet that you would not be able to afford/access locally. For example if you are running a small research project and need a super computer to analyze a ton of data but cannot afford/access one, there probably is or soon will be a company that will be able to offer you access to their supercomputers via a "cloud" network...basically turning your computer into a link to theirs'. The possibilities are endless in this sense.

Increased Focus? by wowzuzzin Fitness

[–]odoyle489 0 points1 point ago

Fitness helps your brain too. Dunno the science behind it, but I'm sure everyone here can vouch for it.

I feel particularly clear minded after running, so if I have a meeting, interview, hot date, etc, I usually go for a nice long run before hand.

Wondering if Fittit would recommend a certain brand of doorway chin-up bar by matthanielin Fitness

The one you linked is the one I have. Works perfectly fine.

What's the best trick you've ever played on your future self? by Captain_Kittenfacein AskReddit

[–]odoyle489 2 points3 points ago

Was vacationing in a cottage by a lake with some friends. Put rubber band around the dish hose on sink so it would spray them when they turned on the faucet. Without missing a beat I opened the cabinet to get a glass of water, turned on the faucet, and soaked myself.

I am an idiot.

Should pain related to bench press by SoCalWingFanin Fitness

[–]odoyle489 1 point2 points ago

Could be poor form, although we can't see you.

Make sure you're stretching and warming up. Roll out the muscles in your shoulder as well, you could just be getting tight.

Dumbbell Squat v Squatting on the Smith by SleeptBritin Fitness

[–]odoyle489 0 points1 point ago

The smith machine takes all of the balance out of whatever movement that you're attempting, as well as forcing you into improper form, which leads to inaccurate gains. If you can do 10x200lbs squats on a smith machine, chances are you won't be able to do it free weight, and you might hurt yourself because your body hasn't been developing all of the necessary core/leg balance it needs to properly perform the movement.

ELI5 Why do people say music has a dinosaur business model? by Rrkiesin explainlikeimfive

[–]odoyle489 7 points8 points ago

This. Also worth noting that digital media has made obsolete the standard economic model of supply and demand, since there is an infinite supply of digital media available.

What secret are you hiding from your parents that would absolutely crush them if they ever found out? by SexuallyAssaultedFin AskReddit

[–]odoyle489 0 points1 point ago

Do yourself a favor and take a semester off if you feel that way. College is incredibly expensive and only worthwhile if you know why you're doing it. I felt the same way you do now, which is why I stopped doing engineering...after a few semesters I just wasn't motivated enough to put in the work even though I'd been accepted into the program. So I switched to marketing, which was complete bullshit and so easy it makes me laugh looking back. Now, I have a great IT job (had a friend in the industry, got an interview and a recommendation, proved my worth, etc). I guess in the end you tend to naturally gravitate towards what you're actually interested in. But, even though I'm doing what I love now, I'm going to spend the next 10 years paying off student loans for a degree I'm not, and don't plan on using.

So, don't just stay in school because you feel like you have to. If you're not going to get anything out of it, there's no point. And you're not doing yourself any favors by being miserable. Talk to your parents and tell them how you feel. They may be pissed for a while, but there's no point paying thousands of dollars to do something you're totally not in to.

True. That's just it though, PCs, which are always going to be more capable, are bottlenecked by consoles.

Trouble with my graphics card... by ObviousRaptorin pcgaming

[–]odoyle489 0 points1 point ago

Make sure heat isn't a problem too. If your laptop doesn't have the proper ventilation (since it wasn't technically designed for that card) it might get a little toasty.
