Outdoor wicker bar stools with backs
The first trip to the bar
2023.06.06 15:10 beautyandsweet The first trip to the bar
The story is seven years old, but I still laugh when I remember it. When my friends and I were 17 years old, we were let into a very dubious bar, it was very bad. But since we were 17 we only cared about the booze and that we were allowed in at all. And it was close to the middle of the night, we got really drunk. We decided with friends to go out for some air, since we were already not very good, and one friend fell asleep for steel, we did not wake him up. And so we are standing on the street and we are approached by 3 girls and we are just 3 people. We talked a little bit and they went inside and we stayed outside. A few minutes later we hear someone near the entrance shouting, "Who molested our girls? We turn around and see guys who were sitting at the next table, looking at us sideways all night. So they come up to us with complaints, and we timidly try to explain to them that we were just standing there, and we just exchanged a few words. But they didn't care, they threw us on the ground and kicked us so hard. The security guards came out, started sorting things out, and in the end they banned us from going back in, but allowed us to take our outer clothes. And then came our fourth friend, who had fallen asleep and slept the entire time. At the moment when the showdown with the guards began, we began to call him and explain what had happened. He did not leave the bar for a long time and eventually when he came out, we were all very angry that he fell asleep, and then just sat back while we were dealing with security. But you should have seen our faces when he pulled 3 bottles of whiskey out of his backpack and said, "While you were sorting things out, I sat down at these guys' table and ordered these 3 bottles. Let that be their little payment." So that's revenge.

2023.06.06 15:02 SuspiciousParsnip5 Rant about my issues with 23.04
Before I begin I would like to note that I haven't checked if these bugs/issues have been reported to the Ubuntu bug tracker. This is just a general rant about the issues I currently have.
As they are a source of common problems I will mention the extension I have enabled are - Clipboard History(26) - Freon (52)
Issues that I think are specific to Ubuntu (Or Gnome)
- I cannot click on some window title bars that are not currently selected to make them the top selected window (Bring them to focus). An example of this would be I currently have Chrome open and on top in focus. If I click on the title bar of PHPStorm or MySQL Workbench it will not bring that window to the front or select it. If I click on the contents on MySQL Workbench (Somewhere inside the app) it will select it and bring it to the front. This will work if I click and slightly drag the title bar which gets frustrating - In the list view of the files I cannot ctrl-click to select multiple files, Shift-click works fine and it also seems to work ok in the icon(tiled) view - When in files If I select a couple of files and hit the delete key on the keyboard, I get the little notification at the bottom of the files window saying e.g "2 files deleted" but the files remain in view until I refresh the window (I use F5). This seems to happen in both list and grid view - KDENLive has been broken since I upgraded to 23.04, All drag-and-drop features in the app do not work. From what I've heard from the bug report I found on KDENLive this is to do with Ubuntus implementation of Mutter (Which is apparently already fixed but they haven't released it yet)
I have an annoying startup procedure on my laptop which I find annoying, I don't think this has anything to do with Ubuntu but it is still annoying (Dell XPS 9520)
Just needed to get all this off my chest, Been using 23.04 since its stable release and these are the frustrations I have with it
I'd like to finish off by saying thank you for all of the hard work developing Ubuntu.

- Open the laptop lid, Turn the laptop on, and Close the laptop lid (I use only external screens when at the desk)
- Log in
- Exit teams (I know I could stop the auto start on teams)
- Unplug my Blue microphone, and Plug blue microphone back in (Sound and mic do not work until this is done although the device shows up as working)
- Go into sounds and make sure that the microphone is being used
- One screen will go blank (This can happen at any time after startup) so I then have to open the laptop lid wait until it has figured itself out (As if I've just plugged another screen in), and Close the lid again (This will restore the screens)
- press alt+f2 and type r and enter (Scaling is all messed up after "Laptop screen was plugged in" as it is HiDPI
- Start working

2023.06.06 15:02 throwaway395802354 TIFU: Open Apology for Stinking Up Delta Flight 1031 from ATL to DTW
TL;DR: TIFU by eating a Cobb salad before a flight and I stunk up the entire plane.
Throwaway because I'm so embarrassed about this. If on Sunday, June 4, you were on Delta 1031 from Atlanta to Detriot, this is for you.
Background, I have Ulcerative Colitis which is an inflammatory bowel disease and very similar to Crohn's Disease. Basically, it's an autoimmune disease where I get diarrhea a lot as well as other GI symptoms...including gas. (The disease can also be life-threatening, sending people into the hospital for months at a time with surgeries to take out their entire colon...it's nothing to mess around with. I thankfully still have my colon but I have to get infusions every 8 weeks for the rest of my life to control the disease).
At the Atlanta airport before my flight, I stopped at a baresturant and had a cobb salad. I shouldn't have done that, because for whatever reason EVERY time I have a cobb salad it makes me gassy. It had been a long time since I had a cobb salad, and I forgot about those repercussions, and it just looked really freaking good. So I ordered it.
Low and behold, I could NOT contain my gas on that flight. It was bad. Please believe me when I say I tried really hard to contain it the entire two hours. I even went to the bathroom twice to let it all out there. But I couldn't keep going back and forth to the bathroom.
To the woman sitting next to me, I saw you cover your mouth/nose with your sweatshirt multiple times over. I felt so bad.When I got off the plane, I was walking on the jet bridge to the airport and I heard people say that was "the stinkiest flight they had ever been on." I don't think they suspected it was me, because these people were sitting in front of me and they thought it was someone in front of them.
I sincerely apologize to everyone on that flight. Never will I ever again eat a Cobb salad before a flight.

2023.06.06 14:58 Exhausted-by-myself1 He's not a hero
Subaru's being set up for a fall by this point, he's trying to save an entire empire but also blindly accepting allies such as Vincent who have almost slaughtered his own friends and companions, it would be the perfect setup for a repeat of what happened with Todd where Subaru thinks he can still work together and is betrayed. The difference is that Todd's betrayal is ironically more in line with the way Subaru's been treated by the people he formed solid relationships with later on, in that it was based on Todd's misunderstanding of Subaru. Todd is murderous and shouldn't be redeemed(though that doesn't exclude the possibility of him surviving/maybe becoming less villainous in future, I don't read too much into bad characters getting better endings than they deserve because the morality of this world is a mess), but he's just Vincent with much less power and as a werewolf hiding his identity.
And the person who first started him on this path was Al encouraging him to continue acting like a hero, when the series clearly doesn't view heroes in a positive light. I don't see how this can't have a tragic turn at some point - it's no different to Subaru summoning strength(pre the heroics and Al's input later on) in arc 5 with Julius by talking about his ideals of knights - that doesn't exactly go well and especially Julius the knight in question inspiring that pep talk loses everything in a way which clearly attacks his position. Subaru wants to be a dashing knight in a world where the knights are generally corrupt and oppressive, Julius the epitome of that ideal loses everything which makes him a knight, Subaru wants to be a hero in a world where the heroes are either...bar brawlers who don't care about much other than fighting a la Reid Kurgan and early Wilhelm or tragic figures trapped by fate and unable to prevent the disasters they'd most like to a la Theresia and Reinhardt. I don't see that ending well if he's seriously going off of that? So I think Al's essentially set him up for a big fall and change in character later on by encouraging him after Rem's words took away that goal.
I think it's weird how the fanbase eats it up as a positive. If it continues being a positive I'll have to ask, 1) why then are there almost 5 arcs remaining with major character development down the line? Why do we get the line from Emilia's trial of Subaru saying to Reinhardt a hero is all he can ever be? When will his bitterness at the concept appear because that's way too much foreshadowing to cut? Why is it people are believing Rem is entirely in the wrong for telling him he's not her hero, but Al telling him to be one when he was enraged at that sort of idealism in arc 5 and then going with it later on had such sinister undertones, is a good thing? Al, who has connections with the bad parts of the witch cult? Maybe we're underestimating how big an impact he can still have on the current arc, just because it's named after Vincent. I think Subaru's idealism of some people higher up in the kingdom is harder to go at but his friendship with Vincent has GOT to be undermined at some point, it's the absolute best opportunity for it to happen since it's with a character who has major impacts in the story but not in a way which has to affect Emilia camp and the royal selection, and one who's only appeared in two arcs of the series which are in another country. It needs to be the beginning of him having his respect for these authority figures shaken.
I mean, heck it. You could even argue Subaru's child transformation is a major influence on this arc and the relationships he's formed. He went back to putting his father on a huge pedestal, and was described as struggling to confront Vincent at the beginning in the same way a child fears adults, it could even be similar to his relationship with Roswaal and Echidna where they became foils for his parents: in this case we have very different figures who you could say took the parental role, as Yorna clearly comes off as a motherly figure to his child self as well and unlike Echidna and Roswaal, Yorna an Vincent are two characters with very different worldviews yet who are still heavily tied together with a different sort of complex romantic relationship. If Subaru is betrayed by Vincent in a similar way, it would be very original but still play off of a lot of themes we've already seen with his relationship with Roswaal.
Every one of these transformations has had a purpose, and if Subaru in his child form doesn't come to a point which fundamentally challenges his previous thinking his union with the restored adult form wouldn't have anything really satisfying to say about him: that he died a lot? I don't think that would add anything. That he's a hero? He concluded that in the last arc, this should if anything develop the hero bit in a healthier and less dependent on others' expectations way. So in my opinion some great things he can learn from it are: being able to end his idealisation of authority figures such as Reinhardt, Wilhelm, Vincent, and yes, Natsuki Kenichi; finding his own identity rather than stitching it together from his idealisations of others(his flawed coping mechanism in the ten second loop, where he referred to being unable to do anything as Natsuki Subaru, but imagining what everyone else he's ever met would say or do); and ultimately overcoming his childhood, in which he only thought well of himself at all based on those expectations, to learn he is the one actually achieving these things and accept those accomplishments.
This would no longer be the same character arc as amnesiabaru had, because the "You are a hero" part was a key part of his flaw here. A hero is someone admired by others, he needs to stop admiring others and doubting himself and just accept himself without the hero part. Rem saying he's not her hero wasn't an attack but he read it as one because he revolved his entire record of achievements over almost his entire life in Lugunica based on her expectations. He needs to learn her saying that wasn't saying he isn't valuable, she's clearly started feeling more positively about him at this point, but it was just rejecting the concept of having a hero - because, honestly, that's not what Rem needed or wanted anyway. I think a healthier version of Subaru would be able to say something like "I want to help you because I love you/I'm your friend/I care about you" and that wouldn't have been rejected by her at all.

2023.06.06 14:55 Myotissss First Visual Shroom Experience
So my wife and I decided to do a test run on the shrooms we got before trying them at Electric Forest in a couple weeks, this was my experience. I've done shrooms before but this time I wanted to do more and It was intense for me at least. I smoke weed pretty regularly so I really haven't had a profound psychedelic experience. The previous times doing shrooms I've felt slight wavy feelings bodily and visually as well as talking non stop. This time I got so many visuals. I think I took about 1.6g but it was a chocolate bar so I'm not exactly sure. My wife and I were watching Ted and everyone on the screen began to look like a comic book esque version of themselves. Along with that I had intense tension throughout my body to where I couldn't stop stretching, yawning, and grinding my teeth. I was so cold and shivering as well (I never get cold and am always hot) so that was out of the ordinary. Any time I would close my eyes it was as if I was looking into a kaleidescape. Then I would open my eyes and those same patterns and colors were slightly mixing into what I was seeing. It was wild. I was drinking water like nobodies business so anytime I needed more getting up and walking to the kitchen was an experience. My legs were jello and everything was visually vibrating, with a hint of kaleidoscope in the background. I began consistently ending up in the bathroom staring at myself in the mirror and just examining my appearance as well as my intentions in life. In those instances it was like I was with a stranger but I was comfortable. Started out with me not being able to look myself in the eyes to ending up fully accepting and embracing myself. The night went on for a long time but after the mirror visits I came back to a more chill reality and we ate a bunch while watching Vanderpump rules.

Our next Piece of the Week is Franz Schreker’s Prelude to a Drama (1914)
…
Score from IMSLP
...
Some listening notes from Paul Conway and Cris Posslac for Naxos records:
Schreker wrote the text of his opera Die Gezeichneten (‘The Marked Ones’) in 1911, at the request of Alexander Zemlinsky, who asked for a libretto about the tragedy of an ugly man along the lines of the Wilde novella Schreker had already treated in his pantomime. In the event, Schreker set his own libretto, completing the score in 1914. His use of highly chromatic musical language in the context of a lurid Italian Renaissance drama involving murder and madness established his credentials as an exponent of Expressionism. The premiere in Frankfurt am Main in 1918 won critical acclaim and made him one of the leading opera composers of his generation. The Overture is a distillation of the opera. The coruscating opening bars adumbrate the score’s rich sonorities and harmonic ambiguity and the ensuing material introduces themes associated with the three main protagonists: a sinuous melody depicting the hunchback Alvino Salvago who, with his longing for beauty and love, has created an Elysium on an island near Genoa; the swaggering, Italianate signature tune of Count Tamare who has been using the island as a place for rape, orgies and even murder; and the veiled chords representing the elusive quality of Carlotta, the recent target of Tamare’s affections. A concert version of the Overture, featured on this recording, appeared as Vorspiel zu einem Drama (‘Prelude to a Drama’). Commissioned by Felix Weingartner in 1913, it was premiered in Vienna on 8 February 1914. For the concert version, Schreker created a comprehensive and condensed symphonic drama which contains the most important elements of the plot. It does not follow exactly the emotional trajectory of the opera but uses a sonata form structure, with a recapitulation of the main ideas following a volatile central development section.…
The oscillating mixture of B flat minor and D major in the opening should sound (as Schreker instructs) like ‘an indistinct, blurred buzzing, whirring and glitter’—it is soon joined by a long, chromatic, sinuous melody representing Alviano’s longing. After the first climaxes the music switches to the third act ([1] 2:05) where a Bacchanal is taking place with, among others, strange mythical creatures—fauns and naiads, etc. During this procession Tamare appears (3:42) with his almost Puccini-like signature tune (to be played ‘with savage passion’), taking Carlotta and fervently holding her in his arms. The flute recalls the first dispute between Carlotta and Tamare (4:40), and her own motif is heard (7:10) in a sequence of frail, tender chords, mixed with Alviano’s characteristic minor seventh. The Overture to Die Gezeichneten ends a few bars later with a recap of the B flat minor–D major sequence. In the concert version, Schreker leads to a middle section in E major which is a musical depiction of the island and the grotto (8:10), which despite all its alluring and seductive beauty (‘in soft and dance-like movement’) is time and again undermined by the ongoing crimes on the island and the threat of discovery by the Genoese police. Then Schreker leaps into the Bacchanale again (11:33) followed by a literal repeat of the first part until he moves to the end of the Overture (17:20) taking up the delicate, glittering ‘distant sound’ of B minor and D major, thus creating a musical circle with an island as its centre.

2023.06.06 14:52 Low_Finance_4457 I have been visited/stalked
Hello, I know this is going to sound absolutely insane but I believe I have an extraterrestrial stalking my home. I moved here with my fiancé and my roommate about a month ago (Ft Lauderdale if that means anything) And we hear strange things, footsteps, whistles, chirps, all this in the middle of the night. My roommate goes to sleep and I do some late night shaving when I see big reflective eyes looking at me through my bathroom window. I run to his bedroom to retrieve one of our firearms and as does my roommate considering I woke him up in the process. We do a sweep of the outside of the house and see nothing so we go back inside, we hear it climb onto the roof, run around the house, all within about a minute, it repeats this process very quickly. He checks his bedroom window and this creature, very tall, at least 7 foot with a very round head and a lanky body is standing in the corner area of our house, it then blurs over and disappears in an instant. It doesn't match any description of any alien I've heard of. It reeks of alcohol and it smells kinda funky, not to mention it whispers gibberish in a perfect androgynous voice. We hear mechanical whirring and our house shakes for about 45 minutes before things go quiet and we stand watch until morning. My fiancés family member had a similar experience when he was a child and he describes it as being a midnight blue color and standing over 8 foot tall, being able to phase directly indoors and when light reflects off it, it turns a silver grey color. Me and my roommate both had a symbol that appeared when we would blink, and without a doubt we both saw the same symbol. We theww up, had horrible headaches and our phones/wifi lost all signal until the morning. Are there any answers i could get from this community? If not point me in the direction of some community that can. I am afraid for my fiancés safety as she means the world to me and I don't want to let anything happen to her. Thank you for your time. (If it means anything we are all between the ages of 18-20)
Edit: The original post was for aliens but it wouldn't allow me to post it. Since we're dealing with the possibility of cryptids I'd like to add that I have been visited by skynwlkers and I am native. We live right next to a graveyard and recently there have been bent bars and broken fences that appear like something was trying to get out. All the fence and gate is made of iron bars might I add, thank you.

2023.06.06 14:41 YOitsibzi Desperate ANYTHING needed.
I've been back home and I don't think I forgot how bad it was here; I don't know how I'm going to live here for like a week more let alone the ENTIRE summer. (please don't ask why)
I'm an international student and I have my flight booked for like early September. The only way I can convince my father to let me go earlier is if I find some job type of thing that I can convince him will look good on my rsume.
I did apply for like internships and things but I didn't get accepted in any. But now my bar is on the floor; anything remotely CS related that if he sees is enough to get me a flight away from here.
He doesn't know anything about CS but if I get something super lame like an IT thing, I think he'll know.
I've applied to research things. I'm writing this post to ask if there is some other option? Something with a non-zero chance of getting accepted? Please, I'm desperate.
Edit: Sorry for the title that looks like it's written by a chatbot from the 70's

2023.06.06 14:33 ChainsawMassacrePGH Shudder Unusual: Siege (1983)
Really cool Canadian take on the ASSAULT ON PRECIENT 13 formula. When the police in Hallifax, Nova Scotia strike, the members of the "New Order" decide to take to the streets to terrorize the city's marginalized minority groups. They are VERY serious - they even have their own arm-bands to identify them. First stop? The gay bar - where things go south almost from the jump and what begins as typical early-80's bullying turns into a bloodbath. But one of the bar patrons escapes to a nearby tenement where the inhabitants (to whom he is a stranger) fight back against the fascists as they attempt to take the building. This is a great little hidden gem. It's really well made and has a great cast (including a guy who I dubbed "the Canadian Robert Forester"). It's funny when it wants to be and harrowing when it wants to be as well. It does lose a bit of momentum towards the end - there's a LOT of scenes of one of the bad guys fiddling with what must be Canada's most inaccurate rifle scope (seriously, the thing just bounces around on the gun constantly) - but that's a minor quibble. It's PROUDLY Canadian too - there's no trying to pass off Hallifax as some generic American town here, no sir! Features a bit of blood but no real nudity. Also features Keith Knight - who's REALLY good (in a small role) and whom I TOTALLY would have accepted as a real blind actor if I didn't recognize him as Barnyard from CLASS OF 1984 (and MEATBALLS, and MY BLOODY VALENTINE). Definitely worth your time.
What are your thoughts?

2023.06.06 14:30 Lotus1012 Fucked a girl my friend was talking to and it ended up in a TMI moment.
Before people come for me i’ll say that A)Things between my friend and her started to wine down when it happened, they just didnt work out and B) He didnt really care for the girl. Now this is a confession story as well as me asking for some advice, this happened years ago and i havent told my friend the TMI that i received.
submitted by Lotus1012 to confessions [link] [comments]
So a few years back my friend was talking to this really cute girl. At the time i had my own thing going with another girl. A few months pass, my situation with the girl i had been talking to just didnt work out and we just stopped talking all together. At the same time my friend and the girl he was talking to were slowly starting to stop as well, they werent on bad terms or anything they just weren’t clicking together. I was friends with her through mutual friend groups and over the course of time we got closer, friendship at first and then it started to move towards flirting and some physical stuff at bars and clubs we would go to. By that time they were barely talking to each other and i just kinda went with the flow, not actively pursuing anything with her. Well one night our friend group decided to have a house party but a little more calmer, like a kick back. I had some shots (on an empty stomach, yeah i know SMH) and got decently drunk, nothing crazy. I had driven to the kick back so she lived really close (like walking distance) and offered me to spend the night. Well we get back to her place and we end up fucking and i spend the night. So this is the part of the story that has its twist and i need some advice on lol. Well the girl and i work in the same building and the next work day she tells another one of my female friends that it was good and that i had a bigger dick than my guy friend she was talking to. Well my female friend tells me that and i just covered my ears and didnt wanna hear it, just didnt care for it, TMI, i could give a shit. Well my female friend keeps going and says that the girl said that my guy friend has a really small dick, like it was small. I covered my ears again and told her its TMI, none of my bussines. So its been a few years now and my question is should i tell him? In all honesty i heard the same thing from another girl he had messed with. Should i just take it to my grave?
2023.06.06 14:21 3iksx Some questions about the map events
With events, i refer hell tide, world boss and gathering legions
- are there any timers for these?
- google says its notified 15 min before the event start, but i have never seen such notice for days. is there an option or something?
- what is the black bar above the event icons on the map?
- in my map, when i move the cursor on icons on the map, it always shows as "begins in 5 hours x mins x seconds" etc.. for world boss and gathering legion events. Even tho it technically shows a countdown, it always somehow rewinds back to 5 hourish when it reaches the 4 hour mark. is it bugged? cuz i have never seen that countdown actually progress
- do hell tide events have a proper time or just random time intervals through out the day?
- are event icons shown on the map if the area is not explored?
thanks in advance for the answers

2023.06.06 14:13 HansWorst7 [Program review] Tactical Barbell II - Base Building - Strength first ... on a cut
Hi guys. Please bear with me for a minute. I'm not an active redditor nor am I a good writer at all. Still, I wanted to give feedback about my run of Base Building with the strength first template, while I was undergoing a cut.
After that, I decided to give Tactical Barbells Base Building a shot. I had terrible conditioning and actually never ran LSS style.
In the first 3-4 weeks, I cycled through different LSS exercises. Usually I ran, rode by bike or swam. Sometimes I had an extended table tennis session, at another point I rode an AirDyne at the gym. At about week 5, I basically only ran. I noticed that I had the hardest time simply running so I sticked to it.
Starting in week 6, I added the recommended HIC sessions. I sticked to HIC#1, #2, #3 and #10.
Lastly, I went against the recommendation in the book and ran Base Building while in a caloric deficit. I was in desperate need to lose some fat and I thought this is a great fit.
Lifting was very straight forward. I used the recommended 90% TM, ran the 3 week cycles and added 5kg for squats, 2.5kg for bench press and BTN press and 1kg for my chins per cycle. I also took the ~3min break between each working set as recommended. I never had any problems with my lifting sessions. The lifting sessions took about 1 hour each. Honestly though, they felt like I did a bit too little. I missed stuff like supplemental sets or AMRAP sets. But I understand that recovering is easier this way so I sticked to it.
As for my HIC sessions - they basically meant death. I did my fastest 5k with a 5'46"/km pace. I also had to stick to the basic version of 600m resets. My heart rate went through the roof, taking 5min breaks between each rep was barely enough to go down to 130bpm heart rate - after my first 600m. I did enjoy the short hills though and I can't wait to do HIC#16-19. They felt extremely effective as well. Even though I ran Base Building on a diet, I managed to recover very well. I was never too exhausted and felt fresh before each workout day. I did not count calories. Instead, I reduced the amount of meals I ate. The only extra calories besides breakfast, lunch and dinner were protein shakes and protein bars.
What happened to my weight? Well, I lost 4kg/9lbs in 8 weeks and ended Base Building at 74kg.
Before at 78kg
After at 74kg
Obviously, I still have wayyy to go but there's progress! And my belly is just that stubborn.
I will follow up Base Building with Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 - Bodybuilding the UppeAthlete the Lower from the book 531 Forever. I will change the runs and prowler workouts with some LSS and HIC stuff instead - I love TB conditioning!
I would definitely recommend everyone to run Base Building at least once in their life! If you didn't do it yet and you have no idea what you want to do next - do this!
Thank you for reading this. I hope I didn't waste too much of your time.

About me
I've been lifting for a long time now. Last winter, I ran a 6 months bulking routine about which you can read here. I had great success. After that, I ran Candito's 6 weeks program and tested out my 1RM. Numbers:| Starting date | 04/04/23 |
|---|---|
| Height | 174cm/5"8 |
| Weight | About 78kg/172lbs |
| Age | 31 |
| Squat Max | 165kg(363lbs) x1 / 155kg(341lbs) x4 |
| Bench Press Max | 105kg(231lbs) x1 / 95kg(209lbs) x4 |
| Deadlifts Max | 180kg(396lbs) x1 |
| Total SBD | 450kg/990lbs |
How I ran TB - Base Building
I sticked to Base Building with the strength first template. The reason for that is simply that I didn't want to miss lifting weights. I enjoy it too much to skip it for 5 weeks. No other reason in particular. As for the Maximum Strength template, I used Firefighter. My circuit consisted of Squats, Bench press, BTN Press and Chins.In the first 3-4 weeks, I cycled through different LSS exercises. Usually I ran, rode by bike or swam. Sometimes I had an extended table tennis session, at another point I rode an AirDyne at the gym. At about week 5, I basically only ran. I noticed that I had the hardest time simply running so I sticked to it.
Starting in week 6, I added the recommended HIC sessions. I sticked to HIC#1, #2, #3 and #10.
Lastly, I went against the recommendation in the book and ran Base Building while in a caloric deficit. I was in desperate need to lose some fat and I thought this is a great fit.
How everything went for me
Considering I have no running history at all, it's no wonder I was dying on my first LSS run in week 1. I finished the 30 minutes without a break but my heart rate peaked at 194bpm towards the end with a pace of about 8'02"/km. Biking and swimming went better to some degree but I still felt it. Towards the end, my LSS sessions got WAY easier. I ran 60min with a constant heart rate of about 150bpm and hit 7'07"/km. When riding the bike, I rarely got above 130bpm heart rate. My legs would give in before that happened so I sticked to a constant pace of about 22-25km/h. That's also the reason I ditched biking for Base Building and sticked to running. The only exception were Saturday where I did LSS up to 120min. I will definitely get back to cycling though because it's fun for me.Lifting was very straight forward. I used the recommended 90% TM, ran the 3 week cycles and added 5kg for squats, 2.5kg for bench press and BTN press and 1kg for my chins per cycle. I also took the ~3min break between each working set as recommended. I never had any problems with my lifting sessions. The lifting sessions took about 1 hour each. Honestly though, they felt like I did a bit too little. I missed stuff like supplemental sets or AMRAP sets. But I understand that recovering is easier this way so I sticked to it.
As for my HIC sessions - they basically meant death. I did my fastest 5k with a 5'46"/km pace. I also had to stick to the basic version of 600m resets. My heart rate went through the roof, taking 5min breaks between each rep was barely enough to go down to 130bpm heart rate - after my first 600m. I did enjoy the short hills though and I can't wait to do HIC#16-19. They felt extremely effective as well. Even though I ran Base Building on a diet, I managed to recover very well. I was never too exhausted and felt fresh before each workout day. I did not count calories. Instead, I reduced the amount of meals I ate. The only extra calories besides breakfast, lunch and dinner were protein shakes and protein bars.
The result and how I'll go on
Well, I almost told you everything there is to know. I improved my LSS time from "never ran" to 7'07"/km in an 1 hour run. I lifted consistently and never failed. I did a 5k in roughly 28min.What happened to my weight? Well, I lost 4kg/9lbs in 8 weeks and ended Base Building at 74kg.
Before at 78kg
After at 74kg
Obviously, I still have wayyy to go but there's progress! And my belly is just that stubborn.
I will follow up Base Building with Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 - Bodybuilding the UppeAthlete the Lower from the book 531 Forever. I will change the runs and prowler workouts with some LSS and HIC stuff instead - I love TB conditioning!
I would definitely recommend everyone to run Base Building at least once in their life! If you didn't do it yet and you have no idea what you want to do next - do this!
Thank you for reading this. I hope I didn't waste too much of your time.
2023.06.06 14:09 blastwetpink Almost died from a grocery store sample yesterday
I grew up without any allergies and have tried peanut related products before as a kid like recess and pastries.
So here i am now at 25 walking through the supermarket and get offered a free sample from a kiosk, a “Larabar” granola bar labeled as chocolate chip cookie dough flavor. I ate it and immediately noticed a reaction in my throat, i thought it was just a wierd aftertaste and kept shopping. 2 minutes later i felt like i had strept throat it was so bad, i became delirious and itchy from the inside out. I was never aware of having any food allergies but something made me check the ingredients and sure enough it has cashews. Now, I have good insurance but avoid the ER like its the plague because i know they’I bill you like its a suite in Vegas, but after contemplating it for a few minutes i had to be rushed to the er and given an epi pen which likely saved my life.
Moral of the story, you could have allergies that you havent discovered so always be vigilant when trying new foods. This larabar brand granola bar labels it as choclate chip flavor and only if you read the fine print in the back will you know its made with cashews

2023.06.06 14:09 Unable_Blackberry308 AITA for going through my boyfriend’s phone?
I (26F) went through my (28M) boyfriend’s phone and was shocked. We have been together for two years. We were very happy since the beginning of our relationship. Our chemistry was undeniable and just clicked when we met. We had similar interests and hobbies, we’d spoil each other when we got the chance and we’re open with our communication; or so I thought. After a while into the relationship I noticed he started acting different and an unusual attachment to his phone. We always respected each other’s privacy with our phones but suddenly he’s taking it to the bathroom more often (that was rare before) or trying to hide it when we’d go out. Seemed harmless at first until I woke up to him going to the bathroom for almost 40 minutes without using it. It became more frequent afterwards. He’d wait to see if I was asleep and sneak off to the bathroom. When he’d receive a notification he would act strange and out away the phone. One night we attended a friend’s birthday party. We were having a good time and he was letting loose with the guys. He had too many shots which lead to me asking for help to get back home. One of his friends drive our car back to our place. On the drive to our place he started rambling to him about not saying something to me before passing out. Thought that was odd but he was pretty wasted. He laid him on the bed and left. I took off his clothes and shoes than put a trash can and a water bottle next to him if he were to wake up.. that’s when he got a notification from his email. Not proud to say curiosity got the best of me so I opened it. It was a notification of a post on an OnlyFans account. I clicked on it, my heart dropped. Saw numerous videos and photos he payed for ranging from $5-$45. I couldn’t believe it, I started shaking wanting to throw the phone on his face. Scrolling through I couldn’t find anything else so I checked his social media. On instagram he had saved pictures of women (mostly showing most of their body). Open his Snapchat, he had paid for a subscription saying “the best $30 I’ve ever spent”. Furious I went back to his email to see what else he was hiding. Too many email to go through so I start searching for keywords. Wrote date on the search bar and there they were; several adult dating sites. Than searched for the word adult and more popped up. One of them was a website for anonymous user looking for happy ending massages. He left a review saying how much he liked it. I started to freak out. I looked at the dates when he had made those accounts. They were made before we started dating; but he was in another relationship at the time. When I confronted him about the in the morning he tried to deny it. Showing everything to him his response was “I was curious” and the other stuff happened before me so why would it matter. He deleted the account with the promise to not repeat this mistake. It has been a couple of months, took some time to forgive but I still can’t get over it. He goes as far to show me his bank account to prove he is done with all that. I can’t help but feel as if I was in the wrong for going through his phone when he was blacked out drunk. AITA?

2023.06.06 14:05 Ok_Environment6504 Getting trapped in my Dream.
This has only happened a few times but the most recent was pretty scary. I can’t remember most of the dream but all I know is I’ll realize I’m dreaming and things just feel soo real but I know it’s impossible for me to be in this situation.
So when I’m stuck the only thing that works (so far) is literally ( and this is going to sound crazy) but I have to flop down on to the floor really hard in my dream. I don’t have to even fall to the floor , I can lift my arms up and slam them to my side just enough to get my real body to jerk in real life.
So this last time I kept doing it and it wasn’t working. But no matter how scared I am I can’t wake up. I just kept flopping down until it worked. I wake up and I’m like “ woah that was pretty crazy” and then can easily go right back to sleep. It won’t happen for weeks but it happens enough to where I’m starting to keep track.
I don’t know. Maybe a deep sleep. The dreams aren’t anything like someone is trying to tell me something. The last one I got stuck in I was in an apartment with a famous rapper. Something happened and they had to lock me up but they put me in the shower which had bars on it. I jumped out and escaped to the living room and kept trying to convince the rapper not to snitch on me about something. He just said “ you better get back in there” .
So I realize I’m dreaming , I can consciously look at my hands, I can pick things up and analyze them. It feels so real but I know it’s not.
Anyone else go through this?

2023.06.06 14:02 Fantastic-Drop5263 I feel really left out and don’t know what to do
For context I [M20] am in a new city for an internship this summer along with about 25 other interns. I struggle a lot with confidence, so going into it I was already very nervous with how I am going to interact with people.
So far it feels like I am someone who is only invited to hangouts sometimes, at work I always hear about how this group is hanging out everyday doing stuff, they made their own group chat. The part that makes me feel isolated is that I work with them, so at my desk I’m always hearing them talk about how much fun they had. They’re all 21 and I’m 20 so they go out to drink a lot and they’re always talking about how fun of a night they had at the bar.
I’d like to be closer friends with them but it feels so difficult to click with anyone, whenever there is a conversation I feel awkward, like I have nothing to contribute. I like to make jokes a lot, but it seems like many of my jokes just are missed or they don’t get it. I get interrupted a lot when I speak. Even when they are talking amongst eachother they rarely look at me when speaking.
I thought that maybe they had formed a group and it was close knit and that’s it, but I did have another friend John [M21] and convinced him to come with me to hang out with the intern group, he got along with them really well and was invited to drink with them the next day. When we got back to work I heard everyone talk about how much fun it was to hang with John and then talked so much about he made everyone’s night. I realize it’s not reasonable, but that reaction made me feel even more left out.
It felt like there was something wrong with me that was causing me to not get along with these people. I know everyone says to just be yourself, but being myself brought me these awkward situations and put me where I am now. I don’t want to spend my summer alone, and I don’t necessarily want to hang out every night, but it is difficult to constantly hear about what people were doing. I’d like to avoid feeling like I’m inviting myself to anything.
I have no idea how to move forward and I’ve been feeling really shitty. Do I just keep being myself and see what happens? Do I keep trying to make contact with everyone? I tend to compare myself to people way too much so I think I’ve idolized a lot of the other interns to the point that I’m nervous and feel that they are better than me.
I’m sorry my words aren’t concise, but I’m typing this out in the midst of a depressive episode right before bed, any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks

Author's Note: Trigger warning. Depictions of self harm, suicide, violence and neglect towards children depicted throughout.
Kids In Ski Masks (Home By Eight)
God damn it Meghan, late by ten, Don't make me fuckin' nag again.
The drugs won't drown out your misery, It's just a prescription conscription consiracy.
Youthful rage, Is the way the cool kids act at your age.
Janie's a freak, Because she fell in love and gave her boyfriend a pre-marital peek.
They got her picture up on the bathroom stall, With a number, saying where to call.
Underage sex and pregnancy, What's next for you is stagnancy.
The hormones and the puberty, But you're still just an ignorant squirt to me.
Your vegetables will save you from the rot, Then society intends to ring you, for all that you've got.
Learn to be something that you are not, Accept that you must do as you are taught, your future is already bought.
Anorexia or dyslexia, All you brats are just a little bit extra.
Timmy is just a little bit dim, but we haven't given up on him, We might be able to salvage this if we push his anxiety to the brim.
Suzy is a little too obsessed with the mobsters and the uzi, If she isn't cut off, it could lead to another doozy.
It used to be firecrackers in the halls, Now it's opened fire and cracks over 911 calls.
Little Jill, buried beneath the willow on the hill, Her pictures won't age, up on the windowsill.
Who knew that kids can understand suicide, Who knew the pressures of life can leave them nowhere to hide.
Pushed to swing from a rope, Children shouldn't know how it feels to abandon hope.
So, please just be home by eight, We get nervous if you are out too late.
We don't know who is teaching you how to hate, When it comes to teenager's, what is a life's going rate?
Held up outside the grocery store, The clerk cut and screaming on the floor, and you thought they were just going to hold the door.
It's not so easy to act snide, When they rip open your driver side and steal your ride.
After all, we raised the kids of today, And at some point, there is a debt to pay.
Ski masks and a stolen blade, They're in such a rush for their own innocence to fade.
Mommy is piss drunk and passed out on the couch, And somewhere in your developing mind, you've already figured out that she is just a slouch.
The man of the house is out fucking his mistress, Because his spawn was always so easy to dismiss.
But, Daddy forgot to set the lock, which concealed his glock, And Zack will make sure we all learn that truth at the chiming of the clock.
Because, at twelve he believes that he can't forget, And lying in a pool of his own blood is as close as he can get.
Going on thirteen and taught to use an opiod pen, Have we calculated yet, when they will get to be naïve again?
The kids aren't kids anymore, They are just new pawns for your never ending war.
They can't learn how to spell, Before they are taught which opinions will get them sent straight to hell.
A generation raised without peace of mind, Keep up with the latest outrage or be left behind.
We have faith in you, So we will be monitoring every little thing that you do.
And you are doing your part, So long as you aren't falling apart, and working on becoming a sterile little piece of art.
Curtis is just the worst, The adults in the room tried to control him every time that he cursed.
A dollar in the jar, A spanking behind his parent's car.
The lesson was worth the scar, And some day, he will show it off, while drunk at the bar.
They say it's a cycle, Lather, rinse and recycle.
And we turned out just fine, Living in a society where we have to tip toe around every landmine.
Every phrase is a trigger, And the taboos are just getting bigger.
And crushing down on them, Damaging the plant at the stem.
Before they can flower, They are molded, shaped and condemned by those who are in power.
It has always worked before, So leave your doubts at the door.
Make sure to tip the kid working the table, Don't wonder if their home life is stable.
Don't worry yourself about the screams in their head, Just tuck them into bed.
The arrogance and the contempt, To think that we will be exempt.
The worst is yet to come, The monster always comes back to where they are from.
But, society refuses to believe that monsters are created, Their urges just need to be sedated.

"Zach, stop it!" Audrey slapped my hand away. But how could I stop? She'd been egging me on throughout high school, the tease. Was she expecting me to give up that easily, on the final night before I moved abroad?
I'd been watching her for hours. Dancing, getting drunk, losing herself to the thrums and hypnotic rhythms.
"Oh, you don't get to decide when I stop," I told her with a gleam in my eyes.
But she shook her head and withdrew herself from the crowd, perhaps from me. I mean, how could she not expect me to just follow her?
"My head's spinning," Audrey murmured. Almost a thousand graduates attended the outdoor rave, but the DJ was on fire, so no one paid us any attention.
"Come, I know a quiet place."
"No, I live nearby –"
"Doesn't matter, come on."
"Zach, stop. I think I had too much," Audrey said, but this time I caught her hand. Smiling, I lead her further away. "No, Zach, no, you can't –"
"It'll be fine," I reassured her, leading her from the field into the dark of the nearby forest. Audrey made another feeble attempt to get away.
My heart pounded. It was finally happening. All it took was a couple of drinks and a little Rohypnol. Tomorrow, she wouldn't remember a thing.
I'll admit I had no idea where I was going, I just dragged her along, far removed from prying eyes. Soon, she was walking without a fuss, aimlessly changing directions in her stupor, a poor attempt to evade.
I guess the night had been exhausting for me as well, one too many shots, the thrill of anticipation. Audrey would, yes, she would, uhm, make up for it. I felt tired, a little aloof, perhaps, had to catch my breath, uhm –
She lunged forward. In retaliation, I stubbed my toe and tripped over a metal bar, that somebody had carelessly abandoned in the dark of the forest. I landed on gravel and hurt myself, sputtering obscenities.
"I saw what you did," Audrey said softly, her voice void of emotion. "I swapped our drinks."
"Uuuuhm?" My words tumbled out in confusion.
She shone the light from her phone straight into my eyes. I swatted at her, tried to grab her legs, but there were two, no three Audreys.
"Mothfuk," I murmured, trying to fight the stupid, uh, stupor. The light shone more brightly now, dots and glares all around me, playing tricks on my mind.
Audrey rumbled. No, the rumble rumbled. No, something was being loud. The light was loud, and Audrey was laughing at me, arms pointing toward approaching circles.
"They'll just think you went trainspotting," she rumbled, no, no, cackled, no, her voice lost in deafening echoes. Losing track, no, train, tracks. Train tracks. Shit! No, no, no, crawl away, bend the track, derail, stop, help, hel-
