That looks that it came straight out from the History of Torture Museum.

Yes, by Argentinian standards. That is not much, taking into account the left bias that Argentinian politics have at the moment. By most standards, Juntos por el Cambio are a social-democrat solution. That is pretty much left in most countries.

“Planned by the libs”, as if the “libs” were a single entity that have a homogeneous plan. Let’s stop giving entity to stuff that never existed and realise that there is a structural problem that occurred because of bad management of our economy and policies. Because we had mediocre actors and in some cases actors with bad faith.

No, that’s an effect of collusion and cartelization of the economy. It’s because you have very few actors supplying the product and the barriers of creating a similar product are too high, so new competitors cannot access the market. Then the current suppliers can sit on the product and wait for it to be at the right price, as long as it doesn’t go to waste.

As you can see, all of this screens about real estate:

• Cartelization/collusion: The aren’t that many companies that have properties on sale
• High cost to enter: Building is pricey, and it depends on the location of the property more than anything. So a building in one neighborhood is not a direct replacement of a building in another neighborhood.
• Real estate does not go to waste. Unless bad luck or poor choices, your building should work fine for a couple of generations. And worst case scenario, the land already has a price.

This is the time when governments should intervene and come up with a proposal to solve the cartelization.

What about the respect given to an individual because of its status in society? There are certain people that have a base level of respect because of their seniority, job or role during a period of time.

Those people may or may not show the same amount of respect towards others as is shown to them in general. And I dare say, there will be people willing to defend them even if they are not up to expectations, just because they have that seniority/job/role.

Take for instance:

• Some politicians
• Some celebrities
• Some senior members of an organisation, like CEOs, CTOs, senior managers, etc.

I was actually just trolling and with low effort. But I appreciate the wall of text. It means I’ve done it well.

Thanks for the compliments, have a pleasant evening.

Because, in case you didn’t realise, we don’t think that waging wars, hoarding nukes and “exporting freedom and democracy” is a good international policy nor a wise use of tax payers’ money.

But what do I know, right? I just have low crime rates, an affordable university system and don’t have to sell my kidney for a ride in an ambulance. All the while having 1 month paid vacation and a minimum salary that allows me to not live in the streets.

Sorry, I’m out of line.

Sorry, I cannot hear you over the sound of my state funded healthcare system and minimum wage over the poverty line.

You are not putting luck in the equation. There’s still a chance that it can hit something before the truck rolls over or is blown by any projectile.

Risotto. I make one with panceta and mushrooms that can’t be easier to make. And the principle is to just stir for 20’ or so.

Ingredients (serves for 2)

• Risotto type rice (Arborio, Carnerolli or similar) 150 gr
• Chicken broth (homemade, if store bought then liquid, never in cubes) 1 lt
• Onion 1 medium
• Panceta 200 gr
• Mushrooms (fresh) 200 gr
• Olive oil
• White wine
• Parmesan cheese (grated or in very small chunks) 50gr
• Butter 20 gr

Prep

1. In a pot, put the broth to heat. It’s not required for it to boil just to be hot.
2. Chop the onion in very small cubes, as small as the rice grain if possible (so when you are eating it, you don’t feel it)
3. Chop the panceta in cubes (no bigger than your thumb)
4. In a big pot, at mid heat, put the panceta to brown and defat
5. Once the panceta is brown and you have a good fat source at the bottom, remove and reserve the panceta
6. Put the onion in the pot and use the same fat from the panceta to sauté it. If you need more, you can use olive oil.
7. Once the onion is almost translucent, put the rice and pearl the rice. From now on, you should always be mixing the rice with a big wooden spoon or similar. Never stop stirring. This will make the rice to let all the starch go, which will make your risotto creamy.
8. Once the rice is pearled, pour some wine to deglase and keep stirring.
9. Once the wine has evaporated and you hear the crackling, pour some broth until the rice is submerged, keep stirring.
10. Once your broth is evaporated and you start hearing the crackling again, put the panceta, the mushrooms and pour some more broth. Keep stirring.
11. When you see that you are low on broth and hear that the rice is crackling, check on the rice for the cooking point. It should be al dente, meaning that you should be able to bite it and feel some resistance, but it should be very edible. If you still feel it too hard, pour more broth and keep stirring.
12. When your rice is done, take the pot away from the fire, and put the parmesan cheese with the butter. Stir and mix until it’s uniform and creamy.
13. Serve hot in small bowls or similar plates
14. Decorate with olive oil, fresh grinded pepper and parsley.

This is actually something that I’ve been thinking about Lemmy too. Now Lemmy.World is a good instance, but if I ever need to move, I’ll lose a lot, and that’s not what Lemmy and the Fediverse as a whole should stand for. We need to allow users to migrate to another instance as a whole. Not just the name, but the messages, posts, replies, everything should be repointed to the new user.

Of course, this brings new and interesting attack vectors on instances for DSoS and for users data. Identity theft would be a real bitch.

The difference between grips and gloves is that usually because of sweat, looseness or whatever, gloves tend to slip. Grips don’t, and at most they’ll do a wrinkle which sometimes I feel it improves my grip.

The insides are still protected, with a rugged surface maybe, but still better than barehand.

So, as many have said, there are short term and longer term things to try. Short term:

• Use chalk/magnesium to improve the grip
• Use grips instead of gloves, like these ones
• Mixed grip

Longer term:

• Improve grip strength

Improving the grip will improve your game overall, so it’s highly recommended. Some exercises for that could be doing Farmers Carry, Pull-ups hold, and so on.

Edit:

A warning on mixed grip, is that although it helps to lift more weight, it will worsen your technique. So you have to improve that technique as well. I only use it for the heaviest loads. I don’t go to mixed grip until 85 or even 90% my 1RM. Before that, the standard one, so I can improve my grip too.

I used to do one from Freelitics that was really for a biginner/mid level.

For Time/5 rounds

20 Air Squats 10 Push-ups 20 Sit-ups 20 Superman/arches 40 Jumping Jacks

It was great because I could do it in 30 minutes, almost no warm-up, it activates the whole core, and can be easily modified to different levels. You can very quickly change the difficulty level of each exercise individually or increase reps. You can also try to improve your time. Finally, you can add weight with cheap dumbbells to every exercise.

I would usually change the supermans/arches for hip raises to engage glutes an hamstrings.

I would do it twice or thrice a week as a complement to some Natural Movements warm out, to get a full 1hr exercise. It was really easy to track progress too.
