@homegymcoop That's the correct response to a 300lb snatch

The cops got called on these guys for getting hyped in their home gym. People criticize home gyms because you "have" to work out alone. My response is always the same: "Invite your friends to come lift, and the energy will be better than you've had at the gym." Exhibit A:

@JimElsnerBike @AB84 top 5 all time

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a GIF

@DCommanders5 @AB84 20+

@SnehDesaix There are a few aspects which create friction in the process. Signers must have a google account and also a fairly low file size limitation.

@stevebuckfl Ngl that's actually wild, google just keeps eating every tool's lunch. Did the signing feel as smooth as docusign or were there any weird gaps.

We just cancelled our Proposify service. Why? because Google added digital document signing to Google Docs. You dont need to draft in docs then copy / paste into Proposify or Docusign. The signature experience is solid. When complete a pdf is saved in drive. Secure. Simple.

We used to use video games to escape from work. Now they're ruining that too!

@CNviolations that's what I read

Minimum?

@MichaelTLester @ShawnRyan762 @ShawnRyanShow You stated that 22 states have joined the national popular vote interstate compact, which is incorrect. There are 17. Take a guess at how those 17 states have voted in presidential elections over the last 20+ years? They have all voted blue. And 16 of the 17 have dem governors.

@MichaelTLester @ShawnRyan762 @ShawnRyanShow Michael, you're wrong.. and what's worse, I think you know it. You are advocating for dense population centers to dictate legislation for the entire country. We should be moving powers back to states and away from federal control to maintain a lasting peace.

In my recent interview with @ShawnRyan762 on @ShawnRyanShow, as one fix to American politics, I suggested that we should 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞. Apparently, that is a hot topic for many people! Below is a deeper explanation I submitted as a reply to the comments on the interview. What do you think? 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: The Three-Fifths Compromise was primarily about how many House seats each state was given. Some of you correctly pointed that out. But here's what that means for the EC: Electoral College votes = House seats + Senate seats. House seats were calculated using the 3/5 enslaved population count, so the math runs directly from slavery to EC totals. Historian Garry Wills ran the numbers in 𝑁𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑜 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 (2003): Virginia got ~12 EC votes in 1800 instead of the ~8 it would have had under a straight population count. Jefferson won by 8. He wins only because enslaved people were counted at 3/5. That's just arithmetic, not politics. James Madison admitted in 1823 that the Electoral College had "failed its purpose." James Wilson, one of the most influential and outspoken delegates at the Constitutional Convention, argued for direct popular election from day one. 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐀/𝐍𝐘 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫: This is a common one, and it deserves a real answer: I hear you. The fear is legitimate. But here's the counterintuitive truth: under the current system, roughly 12 swing states get 96% of all presidential campaign resources (FairVote data). California and New York are already ignored, because they're non-competitive. So are Wyoming, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma, and every other safe state. 6 million California Republicans voted for Trump in 2020. Those votes had zero impact on the outcome. 5.2 million Texas Democrats voted for Biden. Those votes had zero impact. The EC doesn't protect rural America and small states, it protects whichever states happen to be close, and ignores the rest. Under a national popular vote, every one of those 6 million CA Republicans counts toward the national total for the first time. That's not giving California more power. That's giving you more power. Also, claiming that the EC was designed to protect small states from large cities is an incorrect modern attempt to use the current state to explain a historic action. In 1787, Philadelphia was the largest city with about 40,000 residents and New York City only had 33,000. The concept was brought up during the convention, but then almost immediately dismissed as irrelevant. 𝐎𝐧 "𝐰𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲": True. We are, or more correctly, we're a democratically elected republic. A popular vote doesn't change that. None of the Senate, the Supreme Court, the House, or federalism changes. The only change is that the person who gets the most votes wins the presidency. That's how we elect every senator, every governor, every mayor. Why should the presidency be the one exception, especially when the president is supposed to represent all citizens, not just those of specific states. O𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐧𝐨 𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝: The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is a state-level mechanism where states agree to award their EC votes to the national popular vote winner. It activates only when states totaling 270 EC votes sign on. 17 states + DC have already enacted it — that's 209 EC votes. Only 61 more votes are needed. Florida alone (30 EC votes) could push it to 239. No federal action needed, just state legislators responding to their constituents. If you want to do something today, contact your state representative, not your federal congressman, and ask them to support the National Popular Vote Compact. Track the progress at nationalpopularvote.com. Five times in American history a person who lost the popular vote became president. Twice in the last 20 years. I took an oath to defend the Constitution, and the Constitution says we the people determine what we want. One person, one vote isn't a left-wing position.

@bscholl Include a link to buy the damn thing!

LiDAR is unnecessary for self driving OTOH if you have a mosquito problem…

This guy deserves free @Runza's for life

@Timcast Looks like a dad and his kids learning how to ride a motorcycle by cruising around their own neighborhood. The old guy posted a video where he quoted himself politely asking Alan to please stop racing through the streets.

Alan Ritchson did nothing wrong

Nebraska facing Iowa in Houston is like when you travel out of state for a travel ball tournament and wind up playing the rival team from across the street.

NEBRASKA EARNS ITS FIRST MEN'S NCAA TOURNAMENT WIN EVER‼️

We're all Irish today

@KyleEads @MarcLobliner It's the same thing they use to make nukes. So basically... youre drinking a bomb

@MarcLobliner 👏👏 I hope this guy doesn’t figure out how dangerous the hydrogen in his water could be

My goodness these people are stupid. This argument sounds scary, but it’s misleading and misunderstands how chemistry and supplement manufacturing work. First, the claim about it being made from fertilizer and cosmetic chemicals is just a scare tactic. Many substances used to manufacture ingredients also have other industrial uses. That doesn’t mean the final compound is unsafe. Chemistry works by transforming starting materials into a completely different finished molecule. What matters is the final purified compound, not where the starting materials are used elsewhere. Creatine monohydrate is a specific molecule (it’s actually C4H9N3O2), and once it’s synthesized and purified it’s the same molecule no matter how it was produced. Second, the manufacturing process they describe is normal chemistry. Creatine is typically made by reacting sarcosine (or sodium sarcosinate) with cyanamide. Heat, pH adjustment, and crystallization are routine steps used in pharmaceutical and food ingredient production. Those steps are not unusual or suspicious. They’re simply how you get a clean, stable compound. Third, the starting chemicals are not present in the finished product. After synthesis, creatine is purified and crystallized so unreacted materials and impurities are removed. High-quality creatine is tested for contaminants to ensure they’re well below safety limits. The “real creatine comes from steak” argument also ignores basic nutrition and is also, well, stupid. Creatine does naturally occur in meat, but only about 1–2 grams per pound of raw beef. To get the typical 5-gram daily dose used in research you would need to eat roughly 2–3 pounds of meat, and cooking reduces the creatine content further. The creatine molecule from steak and the one in a supplement are chemically identical. Finally, creatine is one of the most researched supplements in sports nutrition. There are hundreds of studies showing improvements in strength, muscle mass, and power output, along with decades of safety data. So much safety data. So the post is basically relying on scary sounding chemistry terms to make people think something unnatural is happening. In reality it’s just standard manufacturing of a molecule your body already makes and that also exists in foods like meat. In summary, stop listening to idiots.

@ShawnRyan762 The run and left handy throw is diabolical. Lose twice and you should have to make it your profile pic.

In this clip from The Shawn Ryan Show, defense tech founder Ethan Thornton steps onto the range with former Navy SEAL/CIA contractor Shawn Ryan for a shooting challenge that quickly turns competitive. As they run through targets at multiple distances, Ethan gets hands-on experience firing the SIG Sauer MCX SPEAR — the powerful battle rifle adopted by the U.S. military’s Next Generation Squad Weapon program. What starts as a friendly range session turns into a fast-paced shooting competition, testing fundamentals, recoil control, and accuracy under pressure. As Ethan learns, shooting the rifle in real life is very different from watching “YouTube armchair experts” talk about it online. @ethanrthornton @Mach_Industries

@FoxNews Im with the professor on this one

CAMPUS CHAOS: An Ohio State professor was reportedly placed on leave after he was caught on camera tackling a journalist to the ground. The violence began as a documentarian was reportedly trying to interview former Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee. "We are aware of the incident, and it is very concerning," the university told local media on Wednesday. "Pending a full OSUPD investigation and thorough review of the facts … The faculty member was placed on leave February 10."
