Try adding straight-leg deadlifts whenever you're hitting the back. For some reason, it's the only exercise that leaves me sore in the upper back. It's also a good idea not to deadlift on the same day you squat if you're already doing them, so you're hitting two birds with one stone. You could also try eccentric pull-ups. Great for building... your pull-up strength. Generally, don't bother finding different "exercises", but rather try different ways of doing the basic exercises you already are familiar with. Play around with tempos, rest times, eccentric/concentric focus, etc. Good luck.

Words are a medium, they are as restricted a medium as a strip of film or a marble stone or a canvas or a touch between two people or a motion before the eyes. There are things that can be done to express what you can via the medium and things you cannot. The medium will always bring its limitations, as will the artist as will the spectator, listener, viewer, feeler. This shouldn't be seen, in my opinion, as a devaluing of any medium, though, only an expression that all mediums are limited both in what they can accomplish and in the requirement of shared understanding of meaning. Yeah. Though, as usual, it's not as simple (?) as OP would suggest. Language is not just a medium. Language actually strongly influences the way thoughts themselves are formed. I'm sure this has come up before in these forums, but for anyone interested in how this seems to work, look up the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. OP is also wrong about scientists, of course. When trying to express notions that seem alien or impossible in the macroscopic world or otherwise beyond our normal parameters of understanding, they resort to math. The strangeness results from trying to put into common words what the math is saying. This is interesting, and tied to the previous point, because math allows us to progress and advance in fields that we do not "understand". Math is also a language of sorts, but not one that comes naturally for most people. For those to whom it does... it really is a ****ing marvel to watch, though. Humbling, too. edit: who/to whom, i cannot into words

Best Game Evar finally got a gameplay teaser and English(ish) pitch. http://collective.square-enix.com/projects/270/undungeon Looks interesting.

Well, we're going off on a tangent here, but from my limited non-software engineer perspective (I only took some CS classes in uni), I'm not sure it's so simple. If the data is encrypted or otherwise protected in memory (i.e. the game doesn't simply read a byte that tells it how many of X you currently have), Cheat Engine would not be able to do anything. Code/memory injection-type attacks are a thing, and countermeasures exist. You'd have to reverse-engineer the protection first and then write a custom application to inject the desired values. Essentially, a second crack. Did they even bother cracking the Keep thing for DAI? And that wasn't even "encrypted" AFAIK. Realistically, I don't know how much effort it would take to hide/encrypt/protect the game from such fiddling, especially if the decision to implement the microtransactions was more a management meeting thing after the basic design had been laid out. edit: yes, to lock you out, the game would indeed have to dial home.

According to the rumors (based on wikileaks) she is taking the same medicine as people with narcolepsy, parkinson's and alzheimer's. But it can also be abused by people who wish to stay awake for longer periods of time. Of course there people trying to meme her of being really sick, unfit for standing during the upcoming debates. Lincoln is suspected to have suffered from severe mercury poisoning caused by some pills he took for melancholy. Mercury poisoning symptoms include tremor, fits of rage, insomnia, and memory impairment. Thankfully he stopped taking the meds shortly after inauguration. I'm sure Hillary is just following in his footsteps.

There is something that doesn't add up, though. You say taxing the rich doesn't work because they have the resources to avoid paying, and at their current taxation levels, it's cost-effective for them to do so. But GD says 80% of tax revenue comes from the richest quartile. Which one is it? A sovereign debt of $19 trillion is not as problematic as a household debt/disposable income ratio of over 110%, because unlike the Fed, Joe Sixpack can't print money or use personal sovereignty to declare all his debts null and void. And in a consumer-driven economy, if consumers are choked by debt service, who's left to drive the economy? Shifting a bigger part of the tax burden onto lower quartiles is bad because most of that debt is consumer credit and mortgages, which you'd see a massive default on. So rather than fight fiscal fraud, reduce legal loopholes, and cut back spending to sensible levels, let's just... tax the underclass out of existence. A government so overtly unfair, as you admit yourself, would soon be seen as an invitation for revolution.

Funny how that works. Because right now somewhere around 11% of all wealth in the US is in the hands of just .01% of citizens (.00025% hoarding a bit over 3%). And many of the ones who have the most are still bitching it's not enough. And by the way, the flat tax is the most regressive option out there. A flat federal income tax would later combine with state/municipal taxes for an extremely uneven distribution of tax/earning ratios, punishing the poor(est) the most. You like this idea, why exactly?

Well, reports on unappealable automated bans from GTA5 and Take Two issuing a C&D and using intimidation tactics against the devs of the unofficial MP mod give you an idea of how much big name publishers care about bad PR nowadays, when balanced against protecting their microtransaction-derived profits. I know, I know, apples and oranges. In other news, WH40K: Eternal Crusade is leaving Early Access in a month. While it's obvious that this will be no Planetside, judging by comments, the launch is shaping to be a total trainwreck. Anyone here plays it?

I don't know, lock you out of the game for disassembling the code or whatever. If they are pulling this and their engineers aren't completely ineffectual, the savegames and even the way the game stores in memory how many of X you currently have, will be encrypted to prevent people from giving themselves billions of dollars worth of consumables with Cheat Engine. Between this news and the previous comments about further consolization, you guys have effectively killed my interest in this game, saving me at least 10€. Thanks, Obsidian Forums!

Are there in-game cheats that allow you to give Praxis kits to yourself? It'd be pretty stupid to have that and then sell them separately. There's always trainers I guess, but can they ban you over that?

That doesn't describe the current situation for many people. It's not asking people to choose how best to get the policies they care about implemented (which sounds great in theory), but rather asking them to choose how best to avoid policies that they feel are unacceptable... only both serious* candidates advocate policies that are unacceptable for many people. So yeah, negative voting. The system as it is structured rewards corruption and backroom dealing. And what you're proposing by suggesting that folks only vote for candidates with "realistic chances" (as defined by whom?) is that the US remains trapped in a sort of twisted self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hmm. Ruthless Powermonger The Ruthless Powermonger treats her country and her people as personal possessions. She is completely unscrupulous and she will let nothing stand between her and her goals. Sometimes she can develop a streak of paranoia which will endanger friend and foe alike. Of course, the alternative isn't much better... Barking Buffoon The Barking Buffoon is a great political dramatic actor. People see him as a strong and competent leader who will save the nation and restore it to its historical greatness. But behind his mask of bombastic rhetoric hides a weak-minded, vain simpleton. Those who really know him, know he is an incompetent man.

Long time no see mate. Was afraid you'd dropped something on your head while overhead pressing or something. Good to see you. I saw the trailer on YT. For some reason that kind of "horror" does nothing for me. In fact the only horror game I've enjoyed is Alien Isolation, and that was more about tension than horror, per se...

Mate, I'm not butthurt. I'm bored. The last few videos you've posted (except for the seizure-inducing cat-themed one and the other about rythmic gymnastics) are about Russian internet nobodies that are virtually indistinguishable from their Western counterparts. Nobody cares about that ****. Post stuff that's actually interesting. For example, the post about Russian writers and their lovers was cool. The next one about some dude going to the fair with his gf, not so much. Assume that the extent of my knowledge of Russian culture is this:

A site called forums.obsidian.net. You guys heard of it?

Or... an isometric, squad-based tactical strategy game. *cough*

Less stuff about Russian attention whores and more about how us Westlings can't ever fully comprehend the Russian mindset, pls.

The problem is if you don't much care about the racial or ethnic makeup of your country, you can't very well be a "nationalist". Being for the rule of law, separation of powers and the Bill of Rights does not make you an "American Nationalist", or "Civic Nationalist" because those things were not invented by Americans and are widely regarded as universal, i.e. they transcend national boundaries. No need to make up a new political denomination containing the word "nationalism" when one already exists that perfectly describes the set of tenets you subscribe to: classical liberalism. I'm sorry, but "Civic Nationalist" is either a) whitewashing ethnic/racial nationalism or b) an oxymoron.

There's always "that guy".

I don't know about Quebec or Scotland, but last time they tried going that route in Catalonia, they failed miserably: martial law was declared across the country, autonomy was suspended, political leaders were jailed, and two years later a military uprising threw the country into civil war. Boggles the mind that they are trying to pull the exact same **** again, step by step. You can be excused for not knowing our history, but the same doesn't apply to present-day Catalan politicians. So yeah, you may want to review your perspective on how secession works in reality.

It is now.

"For security and data protection purposes, the applicant information will be available once the basic application fee is paid" I missed that, good catch.

doesn't say who filed it, could be a joke Yeah, obviously fake. It should be New-New Orleans. Seriously though, filing a trademark registration isn't free. While certainly not beyond the lengths /b/tards may be willing to go, I doubt anyone would really spend money on such low-key trolling.
