i would have guessed a null modem adaptor, cuz - why the hell not! but… assuming the USB to serial is a typical DTE (M) then the 9pin to 25pin would likely be (F) to (M), but the potato markings on the mystery adaptor seem to suggest M/M… so… 🤷‍♂️

your breakout box suggestion is a reasonable one.

idk… i think we can, at least, declare it a WM. tmux is quite possibly my favorite thing ever.

yes, they are smaller, aerobic, slow twitch muscle fibers. my endurence comment was more related to delivering oxygen to the muscle, but was sloppy. was waiting for someone to poke me over it :-)

smaller functional muscle fibre size is one of the reasons you will often see very svelte endurance athletes.

you can build both slow twitch and the 2 types of fast twitch muscle fibers simultaneously with well planned workouts, but dont worry too much about this. your body will adapt to whatever you train for, just keep a good mix of everything you have mentioned so far and your body will respond.

never neglect the cardio though. a resonable mix of HIIT cardio will add aerobic capacity without sacrificing muscle mass or size. your high rep. punches with 16oz gloves will take care of shoulder endurance.

if you are looking for volume, research bodybuilding - its a specific approach. strength training is also different. what you are likely experiencing is endurance (muscle/cardio/etc) training in addition to the skill bumps.

fat wont hold back muscle gain, but it will hide it. good news is that as you more build muscle, you burn more calories. less mass means better cardio, which builds muscle endurance.

good luck with the boxing! its a fantastic martial art.

TNG. coming off of TOS, they absolutely made it their own. everything about it was both fresh and familiar. perfection.

someone reach out! I feel a house lawyer in the making.

not disagreeing with you - I find performative “wrestle drama” absolutely, mind numbingly pointless. my preference is to participate in (and ocassionally watch) unscripted combat sport.

however… I have trained competitive martial arts for decades (muay thai, bjj, others) and most of these “wrestling” participants are pretty skilled athletes. it takes training to turn combinations of techniques designed to injure into something reasonably harmless. there is a pretty fine line separating sparring from a fight.

I know you know this, but its still useful to remember that these players are actors as well as athletes and that can obviously be pretty inviting for a lot of viewers.

he brings live shakespearean actor mojo to the small screen and makes zero fucking apologies for it. its like watching a honda civic do a quarter mile with a corvette engine.

best. captain. eva.

there is a shift happening. things are bleak af for a while then, suddently all at once, something breaks. a us senator getting off his ass and getting proof of life on his constituent gives me, and I think many others, fire to keep on. these fascist fuckers are not inevitable.

fixing this absolute clusterfuck is going to take time and warm bodies on the streets and lawyers in courts in front of judges that uphold the constitution and members of Congress that tell the truth and a million acts of defiance across the country. its been happening and its getting bigger.

gotta love the not so subtle use of red shipping containers in many of these thumbnails. perfect!

to be fair, perhaps we are not in the worst of all multiverses. I would say my heart goes out to him, but… you know.

still hopeful that, if trumps idiocy does not directly blow us all to hell, an economic downturn may give us another COVID style environmental breather. silver linings and all that.

elbows up, my friend. elbows up!

old info? have things flipped?

we seem to like it dirty.

[…]our refineries were designed to process oil coming from Mexico and Venezuela. “And a lot of that tends to be relatively heavy and relatively high in sulfur,”

based on proven reserves it looks like venezuela is gonna get canada’d harder than usual.

good observation. wonder how texas and louisiana “drill baby drillers” are doin’ right now…

and, as trump shrinks us soft power, whats left? the chance of direct US military involvement against non-trivial opponents is skyrocketing. remember, trump declared himself a “wartime president” last term - he loves this shit.

ediit: missing word

Current soy volumes being shipped do not yet reflect the effects of the new trade war, the analysts said. They believe an escalation will direct more Chinese demand to Brazil over time, as was the case in 2018.

slow motion footgun is the best footgun.

I know, right! millennia of boring European history. nothing ever happens over there.
