The Shack: This is Most Likely the Last Thread

Predictable. I knew you'd quote that part.

I already stated why I don't like credit cards. \/ \/ \/

That part seems to be the primary cause of your past troubles, and thus your current opinion.

I'll just use PayPal. I reckon there's still some money in there. May not be much, but I can easily buy her a Big Mac or two.

Bro, she's going to eat at least 2 Big Macs and a 20 piece nugget. Then she's going to give you a shake for desert.

Wrong, my kind chap. My current opinion is based on one simple fact: never owe anyone anything. I've done lots of crazy things in the past but I won't let them control or influence me.

I'd always try to make the payments on time (they gave me 45 days, after which the interest rates were quite high), but sometimes I'd miss them. I ended up paying lots of interest two or three times.

Do you guys have a collection centre over there? That's what we had here and it was open from 10:00 to 13:00 (Mon-Sat). I'd miss payments due to waking up late (out till 4 AM, drinking).

I've only paid my credit cards online. Last thing i made payments on that was not online was my previous car. After awhile I set it up so my bank sent a payment every month for me.

Most services now have automatic bill pay options available, but at the very least, just an online method to make payments.

I'm 21 and only have a debit card. One of my older friends was telling me I should get a credit card and just use it on all the stuff I buy now like gas, food, etc and to pay it off right away just to build credit.

My only fear is getting caught paying interest or some fees. I have a hard time trusting these credit card companies.

I had a Citibank one, and they'd give me 45 days to make the payment. That's plenty of time, in my opinion.

If you pay off the balance by the end of each month (before your statement is posted) the nyou will incur no interest fees.

You'll boost your crdit score, as the credit company makes their money by charging the stores/vendors a fee for each credit purchase (why some small stores will say they won't allow credit purchases under a certain $ amount. Generally stores are charged like $3-5 fee for credit charges or something. So it is not worth it for a small time company to have a zero profit charge)

theres also a thing as having "not enough credit"

[Farley1324]

True. There certainly is.

YOu can have too little or too much.

The way credit scores are tallied isn't published and probably doesn't make a lot of sense when you look at parts of it.

^ This. When you need a loan for a car or house, not having credit will suck.

Not having enough credit history will suck if that happens.

Steady income only goes so far if you are asking somebody to loan you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. A history of borrowing money and paying it back is important. So is not currently owing too much money!

That feel when you switch routers and go from 9 Mbps download speed to 17 Mbps download speed.

Hell yeah.

haha i was going to ask if maybe the old one was locked and you didn't realize there was a new one.

+ Yeah, I know that NPH is gay in real life. There is two plausible explanations:

1. NPH went gay as the ultimate bro to give the rest of us bros a solid chance.

2. Someone said, "I bet you can't act gay for the rest of your life!" and NPH replied, "Challenge accepted!"

i am now kicking myself for not figuring out how to use a belt to deadlift before today lol.

[Farley1324]

Is it just me, or is this creepy?

[Farley1324]

How hard can it be? Use a smaller/less stiff belt, maybe put it a little higher...profit?

suggest getting one? I rarely spend money on things. Only on essentials.

did it help?

[400Lb Gorilla]

definitely. i cant really cant say how though lol. it just felt like a "tighter" lift because of the belt.

[Farley1324]

The proprioceptive feedback of a belt is usually nice, if nothing else. (I hope I spelled that right, my browser doesn't know WTF to do with that word)

You probably were tighter. I've always operated under the assumption that the belt provides something for the core to contract against, allowing it to do a little more work/work a little more efficiently, and stabilize the torso a little better.

Gotcha, never used a belt in my life so I feel like it'd be pretty awkward at first. Real impressive pulling 4G coming along nicely.

[im2manly]

you guys ever listen to this song?



gets me super pumped for some reason (srs).

i dont even know what that means and google couldnt do anything with it

i think that is it lol.

thanks Manly. i have used it for squats since i got it but never really had an interest in pulling with it. but with the way my low back has been tight, sore, and very slow to recover lately i figured belting up was probably the smarter decision. i know it isnt a crutch to be used in place of good form but i am hoping it takes some of the risk out of the lift.

[Farley1324]

Proprioceptive feedback? That is you/your body knowing where it is in space because of the feedback received from 'feeling' something such as a belt, knee sleeves, clothing, your gut touching your quads, your hamstrings touching your calves, I think would all qualify.
