We have dry measuring cups and liquid measuring cups. I don’t know who created the system but it’s much worse than the metric system.

I was at Red Robin (daughter unfortunately loves the place) last night and their weird ceiling-hanging-photo-montage thing had a picture of Sandow on it. I almost tried to explain this great internet forum thread to my wife, but it wasn’t worth it.
Really though, even Red fucking Robin uses this guy as a measuring stick. Unbelievable.

Thanks the new systems knack for suggesting posts, I’ve recently reread several older PX debacles and been a cross between entertained and (still) horrified.

Please link them. Could do with a laugh at work
I happened to stumble upon the pec insertions thread. It was like watching a train wreck.
I still remember the ‘pre exhaust your triceps to get a better pec workout from bench press’ and ‘Imnot fat, black guys just dont get vascular’
It really does work that way if the trainee is used to just moving the weight from point A to B.
Think about it. If your ass rises first during squats assuming there’s no problem with hip activation, which muscle is usually weak?
so…net neutrality…
Confession, I think the customary system is better than metric. Sure, the 10s thing is handy, but what the hell is a meter, or a ml, or w/e. Wasn’t the meter based off some arbitrary thing in France?
At least customary is based off of everyday stuff so you don’t need a ruler or a beaker every time you want to measure something.
foot = your foot
yard = a step
cup = a handful

What a metre is is actually pretty interesting. It is currently defined against the speed of light and it started as a proportion of the distance between the poles.
The kg started as a rock/block of metal? in France but is more meaningful now.
I find this stuff fascinating.

Okay so what is that? My husband is losing his mind over this thing.
I believe he means that PX said one dumb thing and one smart thing, so the balance of the two comments is null.

It’s actually this thing going on concerning servers online. It’s supposed to not be free anymore? Or something? They voted last night on it. You like have to pay to use certain portals/servers. At least that’s what I think cruusial is talking about? That’s what I want to know more of.
Basically the previous rules said that internet service providers had to be “nuetral” in allowing online companies to use their network. Basically like driving on the freeway, whatever speed you could drive you were free to drive.
Now that is gone, and they can choose to throttle people or require payments for full speed from certain individuals or companies.
This could be problematic because now content creators or owners also are the distributors. For example, Comcast is not only providing you internet but they also own Hulu. They could decide they are going to charge Netflix $$$ to connect to their customers or throttle services from competing media providers.
Or if they have a stake in a news company maybe they could decide to throttle the opposing news companies pages. Or they could decide that you have to buy a Social Media package to access certain websites.
That’s the worry now that this rule has gone away

Well that’s stupid. Sounds like the consumer is the one getting the shaft in all this
