I should amend my comment to say that even if ramaswamy doesn’t know it, he’s not really being honest though. The federal govt isn’t that inefficient. And his purpose isn’t to make it more efficient; it’s to degrade and destroy federal institution function.
Even the ghoul Larry Summers said attacking payroll is a losing battle, as it accounts for like 15% of the govt ledger, and that ledger is made of fun money to begin with. Sigh.
More awful and stupid bullshit. I guess I should be glad he’s being honest though, he’s proposing it not for collaboration or efficiency, but as an end run around employment protections to thin out staff. Love the DC mayor trying to get the govt to force RTO… everyone should suffer a commute so we can have more chain fast-casual eateries, yay!
Got to see blast wave, lost my eyes due to exploding window, worth it.
Well, yeah, there is that possibility.
Great will check that out
Yes, and try and live close to the center of where you think the nuke would be targeted. If it comes, you’ll be vaporized instantly with no awareness. Depending on the size of the nuke, if you’re outside of that radius, you get shockwave, firestorm and fallout depending on distance, and while you will almost certainly die, it may not be quick and painless.
Yeah that makes sense—we send them a bunch of our stockpile (don’t we also keep a stockpile in Israel anyway, is that like the summer camp store?) and bonus! We get to get that newly made jdams and shells!
But hey, things are tough, and belts need to be tightened; really need to get a handle on entitlement reform. I’m guessing one of the few agencies the DOGE thing won’t try and streamline will be DOD budgets.
He totally didn’t do any of this.
like the other comment said, it's a fluid situation. It was bombed/shelled earlier, but was still operational. I think it's now been physically raided by troops, and majority of the staff has been forcibly expelled or arrested. per a news program I saw an hour ago, the hospital was turning away casualties from the overnight bombing that killed 100 people in one building, since they have no capacity to do anything at this point. I suspect the couple of staff still left are doing what they can for any patients they still have, though I know the kids that were on ventilators died when they shelled the hospital earlier, so who even knows. I unwisely watched this news program over lunch, and they had images of the children loaded into body bags 2-3 per bag, open. Those photos should be plastered all over billboards across America: this is where the bombs go.
Is leaving one doctor like some vicious troll move? Or did they just miss him on his lunch break? (dark joke, because, what lunch, what break?) What is the 1 doc and 2.5 nurses left supposed to do with human wave of casualties that Israel creating with each high rise they level.
Former rower also, co-sign all of this. Form/technique is key, and contrary to most people’s assumptions, the machine is, like you said about a stable core and leg power with arms doing not much till the end of stroke. Definitely worth watching stuff to get the form down, most people use the machines incorrectly.
Nice thing is the difficulty is mostly self driven—and comes down to split times. I’ve had erg sessions where I barely broke a sweat. But we also had some erg races… where we all ended up puking haha. Do not miss that.
Shouldn’t be tough on knees unless they have significant mobility issues with bending the joint.
I would search around a bit on craigslist or Facebook marketplace or whatever and see if you can find a second hand concept II air machine. There should be a fair few of those in circulation.
Every time I’ve bought sub 200 dollar home excersize machines off amazon I’ve been disappointed (3 times).
Also this just could be my hours spent on the machine back in the day, but… it can be pretty boring. Unlike a stationary bike, your hands are also engaged all the time which is good for workout, not means you’re not playing with tablets or books etc.
