There's no Best of series in football because you'd have to wheel the players off in a stretcher. NBA season is like 90 games, NFL is 16, and that's no accident. The level of physicality between the sports is not even comparable.

Or just squat in a power rack with pins set slightly below your ideal depth...

Get chalk. You've never felt forearm soreness until after your first deadlift workout with chalk. If your gym won't let you use chalk, get straps. But chalk is strictly superior. Edit: also nothing wrong with a belt, and is still considered a "raw" lift with belt. EliteFTS has good products, if...

This is untrue. People get tax returns because the government proactively deducts taxes throughout the year based on an estimation of your yearly income. If they overestimate your income, they overtax you and you get it back at the end of the year. You pay continuously rather than lump-sum at...

I dropped out of high school when I was 17. When I was 26 I decided to go back to school, and enrolled in a business-type program at a local community college. I quickly learned that college was not a good fit for me, and thanks to good grades was able to transfer to university (Toronto). Now...

When you're a genius, everyone around you seems "not-very-smart". Maybe this friend of your just lacked perspective.

Consider this. Perhaps the goal is to have an effective workout, not to be sore, but soreness is a useful indicator of an effective workout. Derp derp indeed.

I still play all the time. Anyone from here can feel free to add me, in game name is Papashlapa.

Mid is nearly always a mage. Must have good lane clear, preferably with some sort of escape/gank potential since mid is probably most ganked lane. Solo is sometimes a warrior, sometimes a mage and occasionally something else. Most frequent is a warrior but you can run two mages (one in mid...

Since there's a lot of new players on the board I figured I'd write a quick intro to smite (conquest at least for now), at least for the roles (mid and jungle) that I tend to play a lot of. If you're jungling, you buy bumbas, power potion and hog1 for every god unless you're someone with...

tiermonster has builds. r/smite has some good stuff in the l2p section from time to time. Most important beginning lesson: in the early game, creeps hit HARD. Do NOT try to tank them or attack through them. You will die.

I've been playing this game pretty regularly for a year or so maybe. Great game. Feel free to add me, I love playing with a team. Ingame name is Papashlapa.

An amazing lecture/Q&A on this topic. I especially like, in the Q&A, the fourth question regarding the good samaritan problem (starting at 15:00) and the second question regarding government's role in the relief of poverty (starting at 5:15). Hits my beliefs pretty well. Milton Friedman - The...

That's like saying a heroin addict is "healthier" than a meth addict. The entire problem is that neither party has been anywhere even close to fiscally responsible for decades. The last truly fiscally responsible President was Eisenhower, though Clinton was actually pretty good too. The entire...

You assume they could sell those assets for the same price they bought them for. What do you think would happen to the market if they tried to sell off the 3 trillion dollars in financial assets they've accumulated over the last 5 years, in order to get back down to their more manageable...

There's been tons of inflation, it just hasn't shown up in the CPI. Inflation is a rise in prices, not necessarily a rise in consumer goods prices. All the freshly minted money is flowing in to wall street speculation on financial assets, so that's where the inflation is showing up. The...

The really fucked up part of this is what happens when all these foreign central banks that are currently holding trillions of dollars decide they don't need them anymore, and sell them off? The value of the US currency absolutely tanks, massive price increases in foreign goods in the US market...

(Spoilered for size)

I thought you didn't vilify profit? Do you know what profit is? It's the reward for an individual or a firm finding a way to create more value from less value. Taking X amount of resources as an input, and creating Y amount of resources as an output, where Y > X. That's what profit is, plain and...

Literally everything you just said is demonstrably false. In the process of destroying the capitalist system, you also destroy the incredibly efficient productive output it generates. Why was the Soviet Union barely able to feed its people, despite being the most resource rich nation on earth...

Money isn't a limited resource, we can make as much of it as we want. Stop thinking in terms of dollars and think in terms of stuff. Money is just a reflection of the stuff in the economy, and you're too fixated on the reflection in the water to see the reality above it. As long as resources are...

In the American system? Dismantle SS moving forward. Current liabilities have to be paid, so you'll have to deal with that somehow, including people who have paid in to the system all their lives. However, my first move would probably be a personal retirement savings account for any new incoming...

Of course we can do better, but you want to destroy the only system mankind has ever found that provides real improvements in human existence in favour of some pie in the sky utopia that's promising to solve all the world's problems immediately, as if it were just that easy. History is important...

It's not just the cooperation, it's thevoluntarycooperation. Involuntary cooperation is just slavery. The competition incentivizes people to cooperate with one another not for the benefit of others, but for the benefit of themselves, and in the process helps third parties. That's the beauty of a...

Nothing you just wrote is proposing any sort of solution except for saying "if only the world was a better place, it would be a better place". I'm not saying accept the flaws in society and stop complaining, I'm saying you need to be aware of the fact that your solutions can do more harm than...

Tanoomba, the real question you're avoiding is who organizes society. That's at the heart of the debate. Capitalism uses a decentralized decision making process that diffuses power widely among the entire society, while communism, socialism, whatever other system you want to put a name to all...

Don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but a website a friend of mine showed me that's extremely useful for double checking your work isWolfram Alpha. You can enter pretty much anything and get the answer, find the derivative, show a graph, the integral, the roots, does essentially...

So...exactly what I just said. Thanks

Testosterone replacement therapy for someone in their 40s is VERY different than steroids. For one, it's administered by a doctor, and it only brings your testosterone levels up to what's considered a healthy level for a young adult male. Steroids generally bring your testosterone levels...

Minimum wage laws are the classic example of the unintended consequences of laws meant to help people. If there's one thing economists know how to do, it's create a surplus. It's the simplest thing in the world. Just set a floor on prices above the prevailing market price and you'll have a...
