I would argue that the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of Netanyahu, and a small percentage of extremist settlers

Mike McCastle is an absolute badass, but he didnโ€™t always have the mentally toughness to drag an F-150 pickup 22 miles across Death Valley or smash David Gogginsโ€™ pull-up record. In episode 429 of The Strenuous Life Podcast he talks about mental toughness being a choice and how to develop it.

You donโ€™t want a strong immune system. You want a well educated immune system, and the best way to educate your immune system (ie prime it to respond to potential pathogens) is with vaccines.

Any contradictions in your conspiracy theory can be explained away by making your conspiracy theory slightly larger.

BJJ requires both strength AND endurance, so the trick becomes how to improve them both optimally without burning out. On Aug 4 Iโ€™m launching a free 4 part miniseries on โ€œhybrid conditioningโ€ on The Strenuous Life Podcast, available everywhere you get your podcasts from.

In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life.

Wait, sorry, no. That's Alabama.

Have you tried hyluronic acid injections to add a bit more padding in the joint? I think for knees they typically use monovisc, but a related product (synvisc) in my hip kept me moving for years before my hip replacement

Maybe at one time. Years of Fox News, evangelical, Christianity, and the decimation of the education system have helped fix that.

How to Attack from Seated Guard WITHOUT Wrestling Up Using the "Unfair Single"
YouTube video by Stephan Kesting How to Attack from Seated Guard WITHOUT Wrestling Up Using the "Unfair Single"

Wrestling up from the guard is all the rage these days, but the problem is that this strategy is susceptible to counter-wrestling. Sometimes the best strategy is to stay low and go for the so-called "unfair single" covered in this new video here www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B8_... #BJJ
