Apologies if this isn't a great fit for this sub, but I don't really know where else to ask. I've been very interested in JP for the past six months or so, and I've been taking in as much of his material as I can while trying to remain balanced.

Anyway, I took the personality test and I'm a bit shocked at my results.

Hey all

I do barbell training 4 days a week on a 531 program. However, for the foreseeable future I'm going to be staying with my parents on weekends, far away from a gym, so I did what any sane person would do and ordered a 28kg bell to their house so I can work through S&S while I'm there and don't have gym access (I had previously gotten very comfortable with 24kg swings and 16kg getups).

I've been doing one and two handed swings, rack carries (love these), and goblet squats with my 28kg on weekends. At the gym, after barbell training, I have access to 16 and 24kg bells so I do higher volume swings and getups two days a week. My barbell program is kind of squat/leg/back centric so I

For two handed, I have it down pat. The middle of my forearms hit the inside of my thighs, so pushing them when I contract my glutes feels natural.

With one handed, my forearm goes all the way between my legs and pushes against my junk. It doesn't hurt but doesn't feel right either, and it's hard to know where I'm supposed to be pushing from.

I've watched videos but none really focus on this point...

Hey all,

I'm going to create a simple Pixel art game for my son just in my spare time for fun.

I just need a generic cityscape background (640x480ish), and sprites for him riding a firetruck, a fire, and waterhose. I'm sure you can guess what the game is about :). A splashscreen with a pixel version of him would be cool too, depending on cost.

I want to pay for this just to make things simple, but it's a hobby side project so it doesn't have to be anything crazy. I will however put it up on Github for distribution.

If you could reply with estimates we can exchange contact info.

Thanks so much,

I almost shed a tear... It was magical. I never realized how much I'm subconsciously worried about a "regular" tshirt not covering my ass crack, or constantly fucking around with extra material because I'm used to buying XXL shirts just to get a couple extra length inches.

I went and ordered 4 more of the same size. Just wanted to share because it feels so good. Throwing out all my other tshirts as we speak.

r/Cplusplus•

I'm coming over from a C/lisp/ASM background and want to learn modern C++. I'm having trouble finding introductions that either:

  • Don't assume complete lack of knowledge
  • Don't start with earlier versions of C++

Basically, I'm looking for "C++11/14 for C programmers" papers/articles/books/blogs.

Thanks so much!

r/Parenting•

I love my son and am so proud of him. But after the flirting/first date stage when I mention I have a son the past three women I've sensed a strong connection with immediately go cold.

There's always the, "What?! Really?" reaction, so I tell them I see him two days a week, and hopefully more when he gets older. They don't ask about him, and then that's it. The date gets awkward and the relationship kinda peters out.

I mean, I understand where they are coming from. It must be a bit of a disappointing surprise. But I believe strongly in disclosing my situation early, especially before sex.

Just looking for sympathy/advice I guess.

r/PS4•

I bought myself a PS4 pro as a divorce gift and am loving it so far as a PC gamer. Feels great to just lay back on the couch and fire up some games.

Anyway. I bought the pro because I knew at some point soon I would ditch the 32" 720p LG for 4k, but I'm wondering when is the best time? I'm mostly playing FFXV and Elder Scrolls, if it matters.

I know OLED will drive current prices down a bit and 4k is still relatively new, but I'm not sure if the tech will iron out in 6 months or not (my limit for waiting to buy something new).

Should I consider buying a new set now? I'm looking for 49 or 55 inch.

EDIT: Okay I get the message, gonna buy an X800D unless there are serious objections?

Sockeye runs have been pretty good the past couple of years, so canned sockeye is fairly cheap in my area.

But I have a feeling this is it. And it's going to be a slow decline both in quality and volume, and in 5-10 years the fish I take for granted now is going to be extremely expensive.

I've eaten 10 year old canned fish before and it was totally fine. Should I spend a couple grand on canned fish? Am I crazy?

There's a local Korean market here that makes wicked raw kimchi. I try to only eat it at dinner but it goes with anything and tastes amazing.

Besides the bad breath, is there any negatives to eating it once a day or more?

r/sysadmin•

I'm normally not the type of guy to give a shit what people think or say about me, especially co-workers, but I'm coming into this position where the last guy had everything. I was given a chance to move into a "Junior System Administrator" position from a totally different field, and my company was kind enough to give me a chance.

I've tinkered around with home networks, programming, and Linux quite a bit, and I've been able to fill this position not by being intelligent or having papers, but by being tenacious when it comes to figuring things out and learning what I need to. I've written backup scripts for the old Unix server and used Powershell in a handful of places to make things e

I'm migrating our small (40 PC) office to a domain. I've managed a domain before but I've never set one up from scratch and moved workstations over to it.

I set up ten user accounts and computers to start, and began joining them one by one. The first two went fine. The third, however, I happened to notice, doesn't prompt for the domain admin password when I want to change something. This user can even remove themselves from the domain.

It's a regular Domain User account like the others-- and with those I need to enter the Administrator password as it should be. Since I used the exact same powershell command to create all of the accounts I'm baffled why this one is suddenly different. The

I'm dead set on writing the core of my roguelike in C, because I need to advance my skills and become more familiar with the language.

But I thought it would be fun to interface with an interpreted language for objects and AI. I was thinking Guile Scheme but I'm open to anything.

This is probably more appealing because I've chosen C instead of a more modern language, but for anyone who has mixed languages like this, how did you do it, and how did you feel about the results?
