I have a crumpler banana hammock which I quite like.

If the above is true, then your bench may also be sucking from a lack of lat activation.

If you want really cheap, then decathlon near canada water does sailing gear. I make no guarantees about quality.

There are some funny examples in Mandarin as well. Pen and C*nt are only a tone apart as I recall. A friend of mine got a slap asking to borrow a waitresses pen in Shanghai. True story.

Yeah... But I miss minimal installs since leaving gentoo.

Some distro's have a server edition which avoids all the default packages, you can then futz about setting up a desktop to your hearts content.

My preference is to go from a basic debian install.

Fuck it. Reinstalling Fedora, hoping the /home partition will be fine. Assuming the HDD is okay, I'm mostly annoyed about having to get Wine running Office again.

I recently set up office with PlayOnLinux, which went very smoothly.

As I recall, when apprentice boatbuilders were learning how to to use an adze, they had to stand in a metal bucket for precisely that reason.

Any gym recommendations around the Goodge St/Tottenham court road area? I am particularly interested in somewhere that might have equipment like rings or TRX stuff and maybe a pool. I can't lift weights properly due to my hip being messed up by a previous powerlifting habit.

I'm not entirely sure what goes to / and what goes to /home but it appears that /home is taking more space.

Home is all of your user files, which will include configuration settings and the default Pictures, Video, Documents etc. folders. / will be system files, installed software etc. 92G seems like a lot for that (Mine is 6G) I think you would be fine with half what you have at least. Boot is all of the stuff needed for booting. This is often on a different partition if you are using encryption or lvm on your other partitions (which would make them inacessible at boot time).

If you want a good graphical tool for faffing with partitions, I have often used gparted from a ubuntu live cd/usb.

It kind of depends on how things are set up, whether you are using lvm, have home or boot on a different partition etc. Some useful information can be found by running df -h in the terminal. If you could post that here I could take a look.

I wonder if what you might want to do is partition the new drive how you want it, and then dd the partitions over individually. Or even - at least for the ubuntu partition - just format the target partition to whichever filesystem you want and then rsync the files over (I don't use nfts on anything, so I don't know how this would behave). This would avoid having to resize the partitions + filesystem on the target drive.

cross-posting horribly from the rugby thread

Just tried some Workshop Espresso beans for the first time, and am very impressed. None of the acidity I was getting from the Red Brick blend (which I had been blaming on my poor lever technique).

I am wondering if he didn't realise the level of division it would cause in his party. It probably seemed like a good way of distracting attention from the economy.

The problem with the issue is that marriage is both a religious and a social institution. As a social institution it should be open to everyone, but as it is also a religious institution, the church has to go and stick its oar in. France has, I believe, the best solution to this. Getting married in a church doesn't make you married in the eyes of the state, you still need to do the civil bit at the registry office. The government should offer religious institutions a choice. To count as a (legal) marriage, the ceremony has to be open to all. Or they can restrict the ceremony to certain groups, but it ceases to be a legal marriage in the eyes of the state.

Anything, whatever is cheapest. I am assuming you just want more protein in your diet so it doesn't really matter. Just pick whichever gives you more grams of protein per £ and doesn't sound like it tastes awful (and unflavoured anything generally will).

(Casein is absorbed slower than whey, which allegedly makes it better as a meal replacement. Whey is supposedly better after training. Hydrolyzed whey is even faster absorbed, and is good if you are looking for an excuse to spend more money than you need. Bulking powders will just be one of these mixed with carbs (probably). It might be cheaper to eat a piece of bread with your shake though. None of these differences will matter a jot unless you are already pretty advanced, and even then will probably lead to .5% difference in lean gainz)

I know the key to building muscle rather than fat is protein, so shakes seems the only way forward, can't just eat a piece of chicken in the middle of the morning at my desk!

I suspect that lack of protein, rather than lack of calories, would be part of the problem if you are putting on weight, but too much fat and not enough muscle. If the scale isn't moving up, then (while getting enough protein is important) I suspect you just aren't eating enough. I wouldn't be too afraid of eating junk food if you are trying to put on weight. In particular I would be trying to get a crapload of carbs around exercise, particularly lifting. And fatty foods are calorie-dense, making them a good option for getting more calories without having to eat a lot of volume.

I use myprotein and consider them to be very good, not least because they are cheap.

Bear in mind that gaining weight is at least as much to do with getting plenty of excess calories as with getting lots of protein. It may be that what you need is just to eat more. Protein shakes aren't particuarlly calorie dense.

6'2 and 115kg (ish).

Something like that. Though [and I will preface with with a disclaimer that I know nothing about lenses] because it is cropped rather than actually being a different focal length I think you still get more distortion that a natural 28mm lens on 35mm. So it is rare that the resulting pictures don't have a bit too much of a fisheye-ish look, just because the straight lines are all bent.

(if this is complete bollocks I apologise)

Not quite a fisheye - 16mm on APS-C

To be honest, I don't get a lot of shots out of it that I like, mainly because of the distortion.

Also some physio services. I went there after my hip op.

If you want glory abs, use some weights. But if its strength you're after then repetition is more important.

I would be inclined to think that if you want strength, then enough weight to get you 1-5 reps would be right. 8-12 reps for growth and past that for endurance.

I'm giving my rather abused laPavoni Europiccola a bit of a service. I was wondering whether one needed to grease the piston at all. I am conflicted because it seems like I ought to, and have seen it mentioned online, but don't want any chance of any grease getting in the espresso. Does anyone have a similar machine?

I have also noticed quite a limescale build up, which seems resistant to my usualy soak in tartaric acid solution. I was assuming I am just descaling the boiler, so it should be easy to rinse out and shouldn't damage any seals, would it be worth using something a bit stronger, and has anyone any recommendations.

depends on the squat. I found that planks, crunches etc buld the core directly, but to get a carryover to whole body movements, particularly to improve hip stablility at the same time, it was good to be doing something with my legs as well - particularly if I was loading asymetrically - with just one dumbell or something.

how does it limit what you can do with your arms? I would be tempted to look at things like split squats with a dumbell overhead for the powertransfer stuff, maybe farmers walks, that kind of thing. I also quite like squats with a plate held at arms length in front of you. But I don't know if your injury will allow those.
