Hey Andrew I just started learning Python... I was wondering... what's your opinion about it?

I've heard it's a good idea to start with Python as a means to learn programming. What do you think?

Well yeah, but you must look at the overall stuff that happened throughout history. And throughout history, we've always defended our country from attackers.

If you look at the USA, besides killing almost all the population of native americans while you established the USA, you're now actively searching for wars in order for the defense and weapons industry to make money off these wars (not to mention getting oil).

So... there's really no comparison.

I know I know... of course... it's just that for some reason (and hate me as much as you want) - when I see an american complaining about killing I just... I just am not impressed.

Why? Because you guys stand as the pinnacle of freedom in the world and yet you resort in the same terrorist tactics (albeit it with less risk - radio guided drones so that the pilot is not in any danger - he just presses a button).

Is that the fault of the american people? Of course it isn't. But for me, I just... you know what I mean. It's like blaming germans for what Hitler did.

The reality is that Hitler got in that position and the leadership of the USA is doing all these things PARTLY because they have been allowed to do it by their country as a whole.

Not to mention the USA is the only country in the world to actually use a nuclear weapon, and then pretend that nobody else should have it. There's a lot of stuff going on with hypocrisy.

Yeah you can see Larry Nance here, his quads sucked:

At least it wasn't a signature strike by an american drone, followed by a second strike to kill the first responders - the people that are trying to help.

This is not about being rational, it's about not being able to cope with all that.

I don't get how people fly... I couldn't stay in that flying cage a few minutes, let alone hours over the ocean...

Does it go into turbulences etc? I'd freak out at these and at the take off were it accelerates. Just thinking about it makes me freak out.

Then I have no idea. Maybe the presence of the belt distracts your attention and makes you lose form?

Yes exactly what i'm saying. Based on this article,

Quote
Wearing a belt allows you to lift more weight, and even with the same training weights it increases muscle activation in the quads and hamstrings without decreasing abdominal activation.

So it seems to me my quads are getting overwhelmed whem using a belt. Too much force to absorb. Or the hamstrings are overpowering quads. Either could be happening i guess

The reason why you have worse form with a belt is because you use heavier weights because you feel stable enough to use them due to the increased abdominal tension (because of the belt). The CNS translates that into "this is safe(r) enough for this heavier weight" so then the leg muscles are being overloaded (since they aren't used to that heavy weight) and you start to use your back more etc to compensate.

If you want to see what the belt does or doesn't, compare a squat that you're able to do without a belt with the same squat done with a belt.

So say 140 kg beltless with 140 kg with a belt.
