Any ideas for a good birthday present.

I mean for myself, I don't really want all that much that isn't way outside of family budget, so any ideas would be nice.

Anyone know which of these three different types of push ups are the easiest - hardest to do?

1) Regular push ups - body parallel to the ground.
2) Push ups with your arms elevated such as on a bench.
3) Push ups with your legs elevated such as on a bench.

In order of difficulty, hardest to easiest:

3, 1, 2

1 is a pushup
2 is an incline pushup
3 is a decline pushup

Did you try each one and figure it out?

Clearly not, because the head down pushup is significantly harder than the other pushups, since the majority of the weight of the body is being lifted by the arms. This is a basic body weight based training thing.

I tried to use a 64gb Kingston thumb drive formatted to exfat in two different Apple devices (A macbook pro and an imac) on Saturday and neither acknowledged its existence. I plugged it into my windows laptop and it works just fine. Why might it have not worked in either of the Apple devices?

edit: I just remembered that my 8 gb kingston flash drive worked, checked it, and that one is formatted to fat32. I thought exfat worked on apple devices? Or does this just mean they haven't updated their devices in a while?

if you give someone a pound of smoked brisket for their birthday and they like it, you can get them another pound of brisket next year and they'll enjoy that just as much, maybe even more because they will combine the flavor of the brisket with their happy memories of last year's birthday

if you give someone a smoker for their birthday, by the time next year's birthday rolls around they already have been eating all the smoked meat they could possibly want for a full year and you'll have to think of something else

No, you give them a smoker with a cleverly-concealed flaw that causes it to break after about 10 or 11 months. By that point they're hooked, and jonesing for the meat, so you give them their fix on their birthday and everyone is happy. :v:

No you give them the smoker and then next year you give them a brisket so they can smoke it and share the smoke goodness with you. Repeat each year changing meats as needed.

Look through here, does it look like one of these? It's probably a manhole section. The holes are where pipes connect to it, it's an expanded area where sewer workers can get down into it and do any work or maintenance that is needed.

I use 2 week disposable contacts (acuvue oasis if it matters). I used to wear them basically every weekday for two weeks straight then toss them. Now I don't have a job so I only wear them maybe once a week. Do I still have to throw them out after two weeks or do they last longer? I fail to see the difference between sitting in solution for months on a shelf and sitting in solution in my bathroom.

Sometimes I forget to change out my 2 week contacts for 2 months. You'll be fine as long as they don't start irritating your eyes.

The all-in-one solution is supposed to keep them protected while (somewhat counter-intuitively), that nasty hydrogen peroxide stuff that will hurt your eyes isn't as effective at longer term storage

I've got a spanish thyme that I grew from a cutting. I was hoping it would branch out somehow, but right now it's essentially a single-stalk sort of thing. How the heck do I get it to branch out?

It's a little counterintuitive, but cutting it back will encourage it to put out new growth near where you cut. Cut just above the node and it should start filling out.

Gotta Herd On?
How strict are music festivals, Bottlerock in particular, with frayed/damaged wristbands? My wife decided to buy me a ticket to Bottlerock and then when the bracelet came she didn't understand how these things work so she played with it and it got stuck. I tried all the tricks but this one has some weird rotating clasp thing and I got it open about enough but the fabric is pretty bad. What are the chances they'd turn me away at the door?

Totally depends on the production company running it and level of give a gently caress the security person at the door or gate has that day.

I spent most of last summer working at festivals, at strict ones you'll be hosed if you can't get your wrist in there, at a more lax one you might be able to do some shenanigans with crazy glue.

Can't you call and tell them what happened and swap it out? I get why they wouldn't want to do it halfway through the festival, but it's a month away.
