What is *love*?
  • I think it means you would go above and beyond for the object of your love.

    Also I heard this somewhere and I agree: "Being loved gives you strength. Loving someone gives you courage."

  • The last time you were scared, why?
  • About a month ago a big burly dude fell on me. I hit my head and saw stars, then when I came home I googled it and learned that it was a symptom of a concussion and could be a sign of damage to the optic nerve. That was a moment of sheer terror.

    Looking for a gentle daily shampoo

    Please recommend me a shampoo! I have long 2b/2c wavy hair. I currently use tresemme flawless curls shampoo+conditioner 2x/week. I'm looking to start using a gentle shampoo more often now that it's summer and I'm working out 6 days a week.

    US drugstore brands preferred but I wouldn't mind driving to a cosmetics store to stock up. :)

    If you had $200 to spend on fitness, what would you spend it on?

    It's a one-time payment. You can spend it on anything fitness or health related.

    Edit: I'm not looking for recommendations, I'm curious what YOU would spend it on.

    I have 2 dozen eggs to use up

    The best by date is in 2 days. I know about the water test for egg freshness so I'm not super concerned, but please give me ideas for using them up within a week or so 🥺 I've boiled a few and am planning to make some cookie dough, but that only counts for half a dozen.

    How bad is it if I slack off on accessories?

    Recently got back into the gym and feel absolutely wiped after about 4 lifts. Lately I've been doing an A/B style routine where:

    Workout A: Squat, bench, RDL, row. Workout B: Deadlift, OHP, leg press, lat pulldown

    Now I'm not asking for program critique, but I'm wondering if it's okay to not do more accessories?

    Can I use the HDD from my laptop in a self-built PC?

    Laptop battery recently died, and I'm planning a new PC build anyway, so I'm wondering: can I just remove the HDD from my laptop and connect it to the motherboard? Would I need any extra parts or hardware? I'm guessing no, but it's hard to research on my phone. Any guidance is appreciated :) thanks!

    First build, looking for feedback

    Hi, I am looking to build my first PC. It will be for general use (web browsing, programming, office work; no gaming).

    Here is my part list: PCPartPicker

    I based it on the Logical Increments minimum tier. I will be using Arch Linux for the OS.

    Some questions...

    1. How painful is it to update the motherboard BIOS?
    2. Am I missing anything obvious? I'm unsure if I need a sound card, for example. Newegg says this motherboard has a wifi and bluetooth module. Is there anything else I should consider getting?
    3. Is there a way to check if any of the parts will not work/be incompatible with my chosen OS? I've never had a problem with Linux drivers on any of my laptops, so I'm fairly confident it will be fine, but I still want to make sure.

    Thanks :)

    Edit: I made an updated list based on your suggestions New updated link

    Tell me about your goals and hobbies

    I've been thinking of setting some goals for the month. I lost my primary hobby (temporarily 🤞), so I've just been reading and spending ungodly amounts of time on Lemmy & Reddit. I want to spend my time in a more healthy and fulfilling way...

    What are some goals you all are working towards? What are your hobbies that make you feel fulfilled? What's something that makes you look forward to the (near) future?

    Losing access to gym for 6 months, how to minimize strength loss?

    Hi all, I've been lifting for about half a year and following 5/3/1 for most of that time. I will be traveling a lot for a 6-month period; at best I will have sporadic access to hotel gyms. My goal during this time is to maintain strength and work on cardio/conditioning.

    And so, I am thinking that I should probably switch to bodyweight exercises, starting with the routine from Hybrid Calisthenics. I am not very strong (all 5/3/1 training maxes are 100lb or less) so I think I can make some progress with only bodyweight. When I do get access to dumbbells, I can do many of the movements weighted.

    Are there any other/better options that I may be overlooking, both for the type of exercise (calisthenics) and the specific routine?

    Any advice would be appreciated. TIA :)

    Also, what if it's connected to a machine, like a smith machine or maxrack?

    Affordable lifting shoes?

    Hello, I hope this type of post is allowed here.

    I'm a beginner lifter and my budget is ~$50 (USD). Any possibility of finding good lifting shoes around this price point, or am I going to have to shell out more money? :')

    Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Different fonts for editing and reading views?

    I want to use a monospace font for editing and a sans-serif for reading -- is this possible? I can only see a single "Text font" parameter in the settings and can't find plugins that can set different fonts.

    Informal cardio survey

    For people whose primary fitness activity is lifting or sports: how much cardio do you do? Specifically, what do you do, for how long, and how often?

    My primary fitness activity is a sport (recreational, 3x a week), with lifting 2-3x a week. I'm trying to do more LISS cardio outside of these for general cardiovascular health and possibly improved stamina.

    Edit: Thanks for all the replies, y'all!
