[NSV] Shut a guy up without saying a single word. by andreaamazonin Fitness

[–]jgarfink 13 points14 points ago

Again, that attitude is what keeps people away from the weights.

Just an fyi for you - you can do quotes by putting a > in front of your text like this:

>hello this is text

will show as:

It's not even like 30lb dumbbells are that heavy (no offense OP)

No, 30 lb dumbbells aren't heavy to you. They're heavy to me, and they're heavy to a lot of weaker people, both women and men. I know you meant no offense by it, but this kind of attitude is one of the reasons some people feel intimidated lifting weights.

Question: Traveling by air with knitting projects by hobbularin knitting

[–]jgarfink 0 points1 point ago

Lately, I've ended up flying an average of once a month, and I've had absolutely no problems. I keep a printout of the TSA's policy on knitting stuff with my needles and such just in case, but tapestry needles, knitting needles, and even little nail scissors should be fine.

My father once told me that in most offices/careers, you will find that 10% of people tend to do 90% of the work. Have you found this to be true in your workplace?s by 1ncognitoin AskReddit

[–]jgarfink 8 points9 points ago

Thank you for saying that. My first job was basically 2.5 years of me twiddling my thumbs and I feel like I'm useless now.

Curly-haired women of Reddit - what hair products do you use? by jgarfinkin TwoXChromosomes

[–]jgarfink[S] 1 point2 points ago

My understanding is that shampoos generally tend to dry out your hair, which is part of why you condition hair right after. If you're used to shampooing once a day, if you go three or four days, it'll probably get greasy. After a while, it just kind of evens out. I only shampoo my hair if it feels really gross. I do use conditioner every day, which still kind of washes it.

I'm in Chicago, but I'm still new so I don't know where things are. I'll take a look at Marshalls.

Thanks! Do you know where I can get the Rusk? Would I have to actually go to a salon?

Strength training videos for beginners? by rockinrobin714in xxfitness

[–]jgarfink 2 points3 points ago

P90X might be a good place to start. You'll need some weights or resistance bands and a pullup bar.

The Great Trekkit Poll 2012! (or, how many people *really* hate Enterprise?) by mathazarin startrek

[–]jgarfink -1 points0 points ago

Whatever the last episode is on Netflix. The one with Riker and Troi. Just hated it.

What trivial act would you like to ban or make illegal? Personally, I would like to outlaw public speakers who start off by saying, "I can't hear you!" or "Let's try that again!" by danger_mcboomin AskReddit

[–]jgarfink -1 points0 points ago

Whenever I'm not smiling, however, my neutral face apparently looks like I'm angry.

This is what we like to call "chronic bitchface." I too suffer from this.

How can I subscribe to HBO without a tv? by lofi76in entertainment

[–]jgarfink 1 point2 points ago

You're right - you can buy seasons on dvd and itunes and whatnot after they're released as full seasons. However, if you want to keep up with the show while it airs and don't have an HBO subscription, there's currently no legal way to do that.

By Request: I design frozen dinners, AMA by RyRyFoodSciGuyin IAmA

[–]jgarfink -1 points0 points ago

Eww, normal bodily functions.

Anyway, did some googling and came up with this. Some of those might help. Some bean and pasta salads are good and can be eaten without heating - if you want stuff to be cold, you can get an insulated lunch bag and an ice pack. I found this one too! Also, check out the post-punk kitchen for all sorts of vegan options.

Well, along the same lines of basically just popping something into the microwave, why not cans of soup? I imagine Progresso and Campbells and them have minestrone/black bean/lentil soup and at least one of them has to be vegan.

IAm Phil LaMarr voice actor, face actor (Mad TV, Pulp Fiction, Futurama) by Imphillamarrin IAmA

For those of you looking to download, it's here and downloadable on iTunes. I personally have no interest in becoming a voice actor, but his podcast is just so much fun to listen to.

What is one statement that you stand by but might get unpleasant reaction from others? by no_front_teethin AskReddit

He doesn't sit outside her window, he actually comes inside, which is so much worse.

Switch genders. 40-year-old dads going nuts over 15-year-old girls. Still okay?

[–]jgarfink 1 point2 points ago

Twilight sends a bad message to those tween girls, though. I haven't read the books and I've only seen the movies once each, but the idea that a guy can just enter my bedroom when I'm sleeping and there are no consequences for that? Not only are there no consequences, but it's totally 100% okay for him to have done that? And tweens/teen girls are learning this is acceptable behavior? This is the main problem I have with Twilight.

How can I subscribe to HBO without a tv? by lofi76in entertainment

[–]jgarfink 47 points48 points ago

You can't. That's why piracy of their shows is so high - there's no legal way to get HBO shows without a subscription.

So I just 'counted' up my calories I've eaten today by dedbodiezin Fitness

[–]jgarfink -1 points0 points ago

If you can continue on doing your 900-1200 calories a day while getting your workout in and you're not tired/burned out/whatever, then go for it. Generally speaking, you'll start to lose energy in a couple weeks. At that point, you'll probably have to increase your caloric intake. Between 1200-1500 calories will help.

Also - why only the egg whites? The whole egg is tasty!

You could always cook up a batch of beans or lentils and just have them ready in the freezer. Something like a veggie stir-fry with beans would be easy for her to make.
