I rarely have headaches but when I do...oh boy. What works for me is drinking lots of water and going for a walk, fresh air is crucial. Preferably going for a walk at night, cold air works wonders. I read somewhere that the majority of headaches is caused by a lack of oxygen or beginning dehydration. And avoid eating lots of sugar after dinner and or lots of sugar at once, that leads to blood sugar spikes and thats a common trigger for headaches or migraine.

Car junkyards are treasure troves in disguise! I regularly visit a junkyard that sells parts for very little money, I always find all sorts of cool stuff there. My last fireworks mortar was solely built from scrap metal parts. If I had more time I'd take home those serviceable engines and refurbish them. Big diesel truck engines can be had for 150 bucks or so.

A friend was beaten into a coma outside a bar and a relative and friend was attacked by a group of 5 for no reason at all. I'm a person who learns of the mistakes others and takes precautions. But not lateral forces, forces down the tip because its mainly a stabbing weapon. The main advantage is you can stab with as much force as you can bench press weight with one arm. When stabbing you're not depending on the friction of your palm, the dagger is directly supported by bones. I can only repeat it, get some first hand experience with the weapon before you judge its usefulness based on theories. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised. There are.

Mkreku, you seem to like to be laughed at, otherwise you wouldn't have made that post. A relative works in the car parts industry and the amount of parts he sells for the recent car models of the big manufacturers is just absolutely ridiculous. Its mainly electronics and metal fatigue on stamped aluminum parts, especially the steering assembly. A friends 2 year old car broke down three times this year because of failure of the electronic controls of the injection pump, failure of the lambda sensor and another electrics problem I forgot. Another friends new car broke down due failure of the electric steering pumps controls. And this goes on and on with the cars of people I know. Most of those electric problems are impossible on 70' era cars because they simply didn't have that technology back then, what electronics do today mechanical parts did in the 70's. And If you inspect the insides of a muscle car its absolutely amazing how over engineered they are. Whats more likely? To have metal fatigue on cheap aluminum stampings or on forged steel parts? Steel engine blocks, massive gear boxes, very few stamped parts, very simple mechanical injection, properly sized and hardened cylinder heads that don't bang themselves to death every 5 years. I've seen all the parts and modern cars look like toys with half-baked electronics compared to muscle cars. Don't worry, I don't charge you for this bit of education. Well, the Chinese pretty much have usurped that market. 1/2 of the parts that are sold today are made in China after market parts with very mixed quality. Those are usually 50% cheaper but sometimes they fail dramatically, especially brakes, bolts and steering column parts which aren't hardened correctly. And winter tires, oh god, only buy them if you feel suicidal.

The stabilizing part is your grip strength and the grip design, its squared and not like a tube. I just took my coldsteel push dagger in my hand and balanced a 7kg weight on the tip, it did not twist in my hand. I can hold it just as firmly as a knife. Your doubts are unjustified. And you can stab much harder and more accurately with it because its like an extension of your forearm bones, it does not feel like an independent object in your hand. You really have to take one in your hand before judging about its usefulness and ergonomics. Watch this, its interesting:

I never said that ''its all good'' but today everything is about cost efficiency, nobody cares about quality and longevity anymore because you get more money when you make people buy replacements and parts. It really makes me sick, everything I buy has this cheap ugly feel to it and it will certainly break in a couple of years if not months. Quality is ungodly expensive. We're truly living in a throwaway society.

Well, in this case I'm happy to disappoint you!

Because people took pride in their work. Thats especially noticeable in guns, a lot of military guns from the late 1900 century were needlessly over-engineered and even beautifully designed and made. Everything back then was built to last for centuries because of pride in craftsmanship, the best steel was used, parts were hand fitted to ensure the closest tolerances....because thats way cooler than the cheap disposable trash we're using nowadays and no one cares about. if its cheap its good enough. Quality? Just buy a new one when it breaks. Thats the modern mentality. Just look at 60 and 70's muscle cars, all steel low revving V8's with massive gearboxes and properly hardened massive cylinder heads. No BS cars. They still run like new cars while modern vehicles nowadays last for 10-15 years max till they start getting irreparable damages due to under engineered cheap cylinder heads, aluminum engine block fatigue and aluminum stampings. Hey, its cheap therefore its good enough, right? Oh, and to give you an example about obsolete weapon designs, the Swiss made service rifles that they used for up to 50 years. The Schmidt-Rubin general issue rifle G96-11 - Designed in 1896, modified in 1911- was used till the late 50's, the predecessor of this rifle - the K31- was used still the mid 90's and the sniper versions are still used in some military branches of the swiss army.

I think its more like a repeating pattern that Siegmund Freud noticed amongst the people he studied. I can confirm from first hand experience that the people *I* know who are afraid of guns aren't quite right in their heads on several levels.

Spent 1 1/2 hours checking the barrel throats (The most stressed part of a rifle, the part where the bullet enters the barrel and the rifling) with a tiny mirror and a flashlight. Very informative. 110 year old barrels that survived trench warfare with x thousands corrosive military rounds down the tube still look like new and the barrel of a gun I bought two years ago with 800 rounds of high quality ammo through it shows first signs of firecracking and the lands look rounded. The barrel and accuracy is going to be toast during the next 300 rounds. I don't agree with the saying ''everything was better back then'' but I have to admit craftsmanship was certainly a lot better back then. And all that without modern lathes, computers or computerized furnaces. Thats really sad.

I'd like to see some push daggers in PE. I carry one on my belt as every day carry knife and I love it. Its extremely concealable, quick, agile and more powerful than a knife due to the natural position in your hand. Its like boxing just with a dagger in your fist. The one I carry: Possible medieval version:

I only remember one quote from good ole Freud about guns and sexuality: ''A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.''

And, in contrast to 99% of the girls posted here she can do more than just look good, shes a world-class competition shooter.

And splitting logs with a shotgun.

To be honest, I've never tried it. I'm boring and normal exercise has always worked so well for me I've never seen a reason to try other things than normal exercise routines, forced reps, drop sets and sometimes supersets. As I see it HIT training is both endurance and strength training, I prefer to separate them because its IMO better to focus on one thing at a time to maximize the training effect. I feel I'm close to reaching my natural physical (genetic) peak strength and endurance so what I'm doing seems to work perfectly. (for me) My current routine consist of 3 days strength training and 1 day cardio (bike, 60-100km, extremely hilly terrain), one day rest. Rinse and repeat.

Yep. But I'd hold it off a bit. You can always suicide later and you never know what's around the corner... "And the last evil that came out of Pandora's box was hope, for it prolongs the torment of man".

Light must have mass, light beams can be used to accelerate stuff like probes in space with huge solar panels. Scientists are even figuring out probes that could be accelerated with a powerful laser from earth hitting its panels for decades making it reach very high velocities.- Light is like a bullet, if it has zero mass it can hit stuff with any kind of super high velocity it won't move the object it hits. You need mass to do that. Though as far as I know light does NOT have weight when its NOT in motion. Which is interesting because scientists have found a way to stop light making it travel through a Bose-Einstein condensate of rubidium. (though its not really light anymore when you make it stop completely)

I'd appreciate it if you post results in a couple of weeks, I'm interested if and how it works out for you. And about the drop-sets, those work well with dumbbell exercises and especially well with seated Arnold shoulder presses, one-armed preacher curls (try drop sets AND forced reps at the end!). I wouldn't use them with big barbell lifts because form inevitably suffers a bit and that can lead to injuries when doing very heavy BB exercises like standing military's or bench pressing. Barbell bench pressing without a training parter is suicidal, drop sets or not and I hope you're not doing that. Dumbbell bench pressing is more effective anyway because of better ROM, it works the stabilizers much harder, trains both sides of your body independently, allows a healthier grip and it can be safely performed without a partner.

I'm totally open to new ways of strength training though I doubt that this kind of exercise is such a great idea, granted, I've never tried it but the idea of normal lifting is to over strain the muscle not to make rests between unfinished sets and continue to do them forever, it sounds a lot more like endurance training to me. I also think the longer the set continues the more energy is lost which could have been used to curl heavier weights increasing your max weight. I think a better way would be simple time proven drop sets, I love them. Do your usual 8-10 reps, when finished grab a 20% lighter weight and do another 8 reps. That way you are pushing your muscle to the limit AND beyond. Forced reps is also a good idea when using dumbbells.

The more you know! Good thing I had chicken pox when I was a little kid, I heard its much worse when you get it as an adult. My face is normal again, all the red ruined skin peeled off. Turns out I'm now allergic to the skin lotion I was using for ages. I probably just had a tiny spot of bad skin and the lotion caused a huge allergic reaction. At that time I didn't know I was allergic so when it got worse I used more of it... a vicious circle of skin destruction.

Denel or Lyttleton?

Ah, in GT5 I could win 800k credits just by doing one of the 5-lap seasonal events with the Suzuki GSX-R, a supercar killer machine in disguise. You know, that event that gave you bonus money for racing an underpowered car and still winning. The GSX-R had like 115PP less than the opposition and I still smoked them winning me tons of money. Now I have to work my butt off with that stupid AI to get 70k in 10 minutes. And yes, I meant 2 billion credits, not 200k.
