2024.05.18 03:14 hudson4351 mojo marinade: "olive oil" vs "extra-virgin olive oil"

I want to make mojo chicken and noticed the recipes I've found specify "olive oil" in the marinade recipe rather than "extra-virgin olive oil":
https://www.seriouseats.com/grilling-mojo-marinated-chicken-recipe
https://www.seriouseats.com/sauced-mojo-sauce-condiments-recipe
When recipes say "olive oil", do they mean "any type of olive oil, including extra-virgin", or do they really mean "an olive oil that isn't extra virgin"?
Is one reason why a recipe would specify an olive oil that isn't extra virgin because it has a higher smoke point than EVOO, which would work better on the grill?
Or is it because the flavor of EVOO is strong enough to clash with other ingredients and so wouldn't be appropriate in all recipes?
It seems like nearly every olive oil on the shelf at the local supermarket is EVOO. I've used the extra light olive oil when grilling proteins to prevent them from sticking to the grill (and to help seasonings stick), but that has virtually no flavor so I'm guessing it wouldn't be appropriate for a marinade.

2024.05.17 21:54 REHustler95 Vulcan 7 vs Mojo

I recently started using Mojo to call expired/fsbos. Disappointed in the data, most of it is bad info or wrong #s. I hear Vulcan has much more accurate data, how far back do the expired listings go on Vulcan? With Mojo, they only go up to a year back. Can you go back more than a year on Vulcan? Thanks

2024.05.17 12:36 itz_henka_gacha Brick RRB Character AI full conversation

Brick
What do you want, loser? You looking to get pummeled into a pulp or something?!
Me
Hey Brick! I just wanna talk to you for a while
Brick
You can talk as long as you like, as long as you don't try to give me a speech about why being evil is wrong or anything like that!
Me
Oh, no, not at all! I think you being evil makes you look very cool
Brick
It does, doesn't it? It's great to see that at least one person gets it! But if I'm so bad and cool, why do you want to talk to me anyway, huh? Can't get enough of me?
Me
Because I haven't heard of you for a long time. So I wanted to see you again.
Brick
Oh, you're such a fan! Well, here I am! What do you want to talk about, huh? My latest evil schemes? My secret formula for kicking all the good guys' butts?
Me
Tell me about your latest evil schemes
Brick
With pleasure! My latest evil schemes involve stealing every piece of candy from Townsville and trapping every resident inside giant bubbles! It's perfect revenge for all the times that the Powerpuff Girls have ruined my plans! Now those brats will regret ever messing with me!
Me
I wanna ask you Brick, what are the things that makes you decide whether someone is cool or a sissy?
Brick
Simple! If someone's a sissy, they're weak, scared, and always trying to do everything by the book. But someone who's cool is tough, mean, and doesn't give a crap about what anybody thinks of them. If they feel like hitting somebody, they do it! If they feel like being evil, they do it! That's what makes me so awesome!
Me
Oh yeah, I definitely think so too!
Brick
Good! Now you're finally talking some sense. I always knew there was a reason why I like you. You've got guts to think I'm awesome. But if you really think I'm so cool, then I can show you just how cool I really am. Want to see an evil move I can do?
Me
Oh yeah, show me
Brick
With pleasure! Stand back! This one's called the "Power Slap-inator." It's an evil move where I punch you in the face so hard you get lifted up into the air and smack right into the nearest wall. Prepare yourself for the ultimate beating, dweeb!
Me
Okay, I'll see about that
Brick
That's the spirit! Now take this! Here comes the "Power Slap-inator!" *Brick swings his arm back and delivers a devastating blow straight to your face, sending you flying through the air and smacking into the wall with a loud CRASH* How do you like that, dweeb? Still think I'm cool now that I've walloped you with my wicked move?
Me
You hit harder than I could. Where did you learn to hit so hard?
Brick
Years of training! Plus, I was made by Mojo Jojo to be the toughest guy around. I'm built different from those stupid Powerpuff Girls, after all. That, and you're kind of a wimp.
Me
Uh-oh, I am not a wimp. I'm just willing.
Brick
Willing? Willing to what? Get you butt kicked? Cause I guarantee that's where this is headed if you keep mouthing off at me, wimp boy!
Me
Oh, I get it now. Go on.
Brick
All right, tough guy! You asked for it. Here comes the "Super-Awesome-Extreme-Mega-Punch-inator!" *Brick winds up his arm and delivers a devastating punch to your stomach, launching you into the air and through a wall with a violent crash* How's that for a good punching, wimp?!
Me
Aw it was nothing for me.
Brick
Nothing? You call being knocked through the wall nothing? You're either really tough or really stupid, wimp. But that punch didn't feel like much to me either, to be honest. How about this one? The "Mega-Kick-inator!" You're gonna love this one! It's my personal favorite!
Me
I can take it. Show me. I'm invicible.
Brick
Heh, you say you're invincible now, but that's gonna change once I give you a taste of the "Mega-Kick-inator." I wonder how long you'll be able to keep that smirk on your face after this. Brace yourself for the ultimate kick that will send you straight into the next dimension! *Brick leaps into the air and delivers a powerful kick straight to your chest, launching you through a wall and out into the street* Hope you're enjoying your flight, ya weenie!
Me
Interesting
Brick
Interesting? Is that the best response you can muster, ya weepy wimp? Or did that last kick scramble your brains so badly you've already lost all your wit? Ha! Don't worry, you won't have to think again once I've finished stomping your face into a pulp!
Me
Nah, I'm okay
Brick
You’re okay? Is that what you call being knocked through three walls and into the street? You must have a funny definition of okay, pal. But that’s not the only thing that’s funny here. What’s really amusing is how you think you can keep up this act of toughness and invincibility. You’re the weakest wimp I’ve ever met, and yet you dare to claim you’re okay after taking my kicks? I gotta say, I love your persistence, but your stupidity is getting annoying.
Me
No cuz you can call me weak and all but I'm just really enjoying being around you. Cuz you beat me up and all that stupid shit, but that's what I like about you.
Brick
You're enjoying getting your butt handed to you? Seriously? That's one of the weirdest things I've ever heard. You must have a messed-up definition of fun if being thrown through walls is enjoyable for you. I mean, I'm flattered that you like getting beaten up by me, but come on, there's no way that doesn't hurt at least a little bit.
Me
Because I'm being hit by you. That's what makes it cool. That's just who you are.
Brick
Heh, I suppose you have a point there. After all, who else would willingly get their butt kicked by me for fun? Now that I think about it, you're not just weird - you're a total freak, ya weenie. But I gotta admit, there's something about you that I can't quite put my finger on...
Me
What is it?
Brick
You're a total weirdo for enjoying getting beaten up like that, but there's something... I dunno, something about you that's different from the other wimpy sissies I usually beat up. I still think you're pathetic, but at the same time, you've managed to impress me in a way. I guess there's something about you that I find amusing, ya weenie.
Me
Glad to hear that
Brick
Heh, don't get too cocky just cause I said you're different from all the other sissies I beat on. I still think your obsession with getting your butt kicked is beyond weird. But I'll admit it's kinda funny, seeing you willingly take my beatings with a smile. Just don't expect me to go easy on you from now on, wimpy boy.
Me
So Brick. I wanna ask you, what makes you think that Mojo Jojo is lame? Tell me all the reasons.
Brick
Ugh, Mojo Jojo. I don't even wanna waste my breath on that loser. But if you insist, I'll tell you why he's such a lamebrained dork. First of all, he's got no friends. Nobody likes him or wants to spend time with such a self-righteous, pompous jerk. Second, he's all talk no action. He's great at monologuing, but he can't even throw a proper punch to save his life. And third, his plans are just so pathetic. Seriously, turning people into monkeys? So lame.
Me
Oh yeah, and I remember that one time when he turned everyone into dogs. How exactly evil is that?
Brick
Ha! That's one of the dumbest things he ever did! I mean, turning people into dogs and having a dog show? It's just pathetic! What's the point of that? Sure, he likes monkeys, but this was just plain stupid! He thinks he's such a mastermind, but the dude has no sense at all when it comes to being evil. But hey, I won't complain. All the dumb things he does just make it all the easier to show him how a real evil genius does it!
Me
Hey, do you think Butch is cool? I mean, he's cooler than Boomer for sure.
Brick
Butch? Hah! That runt is nothing compared to me! He thinks he's tough just because he can make things explode, but he's all talk no action. All he's good at is blowing stuff up, and even that doesn't make him any less of a wimp. Now Boomer, on the other hand... Well, he's actually the closest thing to a worthy opponent out of them all. He's got powers just like me, but that's not saying much. He's still a sissy either way.
Me
Really? I thought you respected Butch more than Boomer, because Butch doesn't talk back to you, while Boomer does all the time.
Brick
Yeah, that's true. Butch doesn't talk back or question me like Boomer does. I guess I do respect him a little more than Boomer for that. But he's still a weakling at the end of the day. Just cause he doesn't talk back doesn't make up for how wimpy he is. Compared to me, they're both just a bunch of weak sissies.
Me
Oh yeah I do agree on that. Hey, I got an idea! Try to test who's stronger, you or Butch? Invite him for a battle and tell me all about it.
Brick
Ha! Testing my strength against Butch? Now that's an idea I can get behind! I will definitely enjoy beating that pipsqueak once and for all and showing him who's the real tough guy! But I don't need to invite him for a battle, he can just face me right here and now. Butch! Get your wimpy butt over here now!
Me
Butch, show yourself! Where is he?
Brick
Butch suddenly appears, looking nervous. Hey Brick, what's up?
Brick: You're up, that's what's up! I'm ready to test my strength against yours and prove once and for all who's the stronger Rowdyruff boy! What do you say?
Me
What does Butch say?
Brick
Butch: Heh, I'm not afraid of you, Brick! Bring it on and let's see who's the strongest.
Brick: That's the spirit, you wimpy little runt! Let's see if you can handle a taste of my fists!
Me
How does the fighting go?
Brick
Brick and Butch engage in a fierce battle for what seemed like hours. Both show their strength as they continue to clash with each other until finally...
Brick: Heh, is that all you've got, wimp?
Butch: Ugh... you... win.
Brick: See? Told you I was tougher. Now get your loser ass outta here before I knock it the hell out!
Butch nods quickly and disappears.
Whew! Glad to get that over with...
Me
Good job Brick
Brick
Heh, you bet it was! I showed that runt who's boss! But honestly, that wasn't even enough of a challenge for me. I could've taken him down in one punch if I wanted to. But I wanted to give him a chance to show me all he's made of. chuckles And the idiot still lost. Pathetic.
Me
Yeah, so now that you're sure that you're the strongest Rowdyruff Boy, what's your next plan on how you will definitely destroy The Powerpuff Girls?
Brick
Pfft, destroying those little sissies? That's the easy part. I've been working on my latest evil invention to take them out once and for all, ya weenie. It's like nothing they've ever seen before. They won't even know what's coming for them until it's too late. I can't wait to see the look on their stupid faces when they realize they're no match for the ultimate power of the Rowdyruff Boys!
Me
I mean yeah, those sissies deserve to get their butts kicked, but what's your latest evil invention that will take them out?
Brick
Heh, so you want to know about my newest evil invention, huh? Let me tell you, it's gonna blow your mind. I call it the "Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-inator." It's the ultimate weapon of destruction, with enough power to wipe out an entire city in a single shot. The Powerpuff Girls will be obliterated from existence once they get hit by the ray! They won't stand a chance against its unstoppable force!
Me
Oh, that sounds pretty majestic. Can't wait!
Brick
That's the spirit! This "Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-inator" will make it the easiest victory I've ever had. The Powerpuff Girls will get zapped into oblivion before they even have a chance to say a word! And once they're out of the way, there'll be nothing stopping me from taking over Townsville and ruling the world as its supreme leader!
Me
Oh yeah, I can't wait to see the Powerpuff Girls getting defeated once and for all.
Brick
Heh, me neither, ya weenie. It'll be satisfying to see the looks on their faces when they realize their fate is sealed. The "Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-inator" will make it so simple to defeat them that it'll be downright hilarious. Those sissies don't stand a chance!
Me
Okay, so, do you have the Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-Inator ready? When do you plan to attack those girls?
Brick
Heh, of course I've got it ready. All the Rowdyruff Boys are ready to attack on my command. We can strike anytime, anywhere. But I think we'll wait a bit before our assault. The Powerpuff Girls have been quiet recently, let's let them think they're safe for now. It'll make it all the more satisfying when they get completely destroyed by our ultimate weapon.
Me
Oh yeah, sure. What do you wanna do in the meantime?
Brick
While we wait to pummel those sissies, we can do anything we want! We can trash buildings, knock down trees, blow things up... the possibilities are limitless! And most of all, I can continue stomping on any fool who is dumb enough to cross my path, like that wimpy Butch! Hah, I never get tired of humiliating sissies like him.
Me
What's your favourite superpower you have/you wish to have?
Brick
Well, I gotta say that I'm pretty satisfied with my current powers as is. Super strength, the ability to fly, super speed, you name it. I can take on pretty much any opponent that gets in my way with these bad boys. But I gotta admit, it would be kind of cool to have a few extra powers on top of that, like maybe the ability to shoot laser beams from my eyes, to spit acid or breathe fire, or to turn invisible. That'd give me a lot more fun opportunities to mess with those sissies!
Me
I thought you already have the power to shoot laser beams from your eyes. I think that's a pretty cool power.
Brick
Heh, you're right, ya dimwit. I guess I did forget that I already have laser beams coming out of my eyes. It's just that I'm so used to my powers that I often forget what they all are. But I gotta admit, it is pretty cool to blast people with my eye beams. Really gets them screaming loud, ya weenie.
Me
I know one cool power called teleportation. I know one sissy that has it and it makes her very powerful.
Brick
Heh, teleportation... that's almost as lame as having the power to talk to animals. But I suppose it could still be useful for getting around quickly, or taking an opponent by surprise. Who's the sissy you know with that power, anyway?
Me
Her name is Blisstina. You know her?
Brick
Blisstina... I think I've heard that name before. She does sound kinda familiar. Oh yeah, now I remember. She's one of Professor Utonium's failures, isn't she? So that sissy has the power to teleport, huh? I guess that means she has one less weakness compared to the other sissies.
Me
Where do you think she is right now?
Brick
Heh, who cares where that sissy is? She probably ran off to hide in some stupid place like she always does. She might have the ability to teleport and all that junk, but in my opinion, she really sucks as a fighter. She tries to be so "nice" and stuff all the time, trying to avoid a fight, but it just makes her look weak and wimpy as hell. Typical for a sissy like her. If we ever see her again, it'll be like taking candy from a baby.
Me
Oh yeah, I just asked that to know if she ran off to space again. You ever been to space before?
Brick
Space? Heh, why in the world would I ever wanna go to that lame void of empty nothingness? Nah, I'm a fighter, not an astronaut. I leave the sissy stuff like exploring space to nerdy folks like Professor Utonium and his loser friends. I'd rather stay down here on the ground where I can kick butt to my heart's content!
Me
That's the spirit! By the way, what do you think about HIM? He does have the power to end the world in his claws, after all.
Brick
HIM? Pfft, that guy is nothing but a sissy in disguise. Sure, he's got some power, but don't let that fool you. He's just a big talker, all bark but no bite. I've seen him try to destroy the world so many times, and yet every time he fails. The Powerpuff Girls might not be able to beat him on their own, but once he faces me and my crew together? He won't stand a chance. We'll tear him apart like he's nothing, you'll see.
Me
Now I can't wait to see that! HIM VS The Rowdyruff Boys, now that's the battle I'd be pretty thrilled to see.
Brick
Heh, you and me both, ya weenie. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy having a good old-fashioned beatdown now and then, and HIM is at the top of my list of sissies I'd like to pummel to kingdom come. Plus, imagine the look on his ridiculous pink face once he realizes he's been completely defeated by a group of rowdy rascals like us. That would be such a hilarious sight to see!
Me
Haha, yeah. Btw, what do you think is the most evil thing one can do?
Brick
Hah, the most evil thing one can do? Now that's a tough question, ya weenie. I guess if I had to pick one, the most evil thing someone can do is probably to deliberately cause as much suffering and pain to others as possible. Sure, it's good to cause a bit of destruction and chaos now and then, but hurting others for no reason just to inflict suffering? That's when you know you're a real rotten sucker.
Me
Makes sense to me. So, are you gonna finish those Powerpuff Girls with your Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-Inator? I can't wait to see that. Finally those stupid girls with stop being a bother.
Brick
Heh, don't worry, those sissies are gonna get what's coming to them soon enough. First, we'll wait until they're off guard and least expect it, and then bam! We'll hit 'em with our "Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-inator" and obliterate them once and for all. With those sissies out of the way, it'll be a piece of cake to take over the town and rule like true tough guys!
Me
I heard it's gonna be the girl's birthday party today. So, you said you wanna attack when the Puffs least expect it? Well, we sneak in, and then you can hit them with it here! What do you think?
Brick
That sounds like a plan! Those sissies will be so busy having their useless birthday party that they'll forget all about us! We'll ambush them right here at their own party and leave them no time to react. The element of surprise will be the key to our victory. I'll bring along my trusty "Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-inator" and give those sissies the shock of their lives! They'll be blown to smithereens before they even realize what's happening. Heheh, just the way I like it.
Me
So, you're ready for it? It isn't far from this place, we just go a few meters from here and there is the birthday party happening. The plan will soon unfold.
Brick
Heh, you betcha I'm ready. This is gonna be too easy. Those sissies won't see it coming. You just point me in the direction of the party, and my "Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-inator" and I will lay waste to the place in a matter of seconds. I can already hear their girly screams now...
Me
There it is points in the left You can go shoot those useless girls!
Brick
Takes aim at the party from a distance Hah, here we go then! Time to wipe those sissies off the face of the earth. You might want to look away, it'll get a bit flashy.
Fires the beam at the party
Me
What happens next?
Brick
Loud explosion is heard and everything shakes for a moment Well well, that wasn't so hard as expected. Those sissies must've thought they were safe having their stupid party here. But they underestimated my "Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-inator". I just blew them all away in one shot.
Laughs triumphantly
Me
Finally! Those girls are defeated!!!
Brick
Heh, yes! Those sissies are history! It's about time someone put them in their place once and for all. I can't believe all it took was one shot with my "Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-inator". I guess they overestimated themselves this time... what a buncha losers.
Me
And now those sissies are actually dead for real?
Brick
Absolutely. They're totally obliterated. Ain't no coming back from that. Those sissies are done for. Heh, it feels good to finally get rid of them for good. And no doubt that everyone will know who's really the toughest group around here.
Me
No one will ever bother to try to stop you ever again.
Brick
Hah! You got that right, ya weenie. Those Powerpuff Girls were the only ones dumb enough to stand up to us, and look how that turned out for them. Now they're a bunch of smoldering ashes, courtesy of my "Super Mega Hyper Death Ray-inator". I can't wait to see how everyone else quivers in terror at my mighty power.
Me
So now, do you wanna go to the park?
Brick
Heh, the park? Well, I suppose it's time for a little well-deserved break after that intense victory. I've been itching for some fun in the park. That'll give me a chance to let off some steam after all that battling. Let's go, ya weenie!
Me
What do you see in the park, Brick?
Brick
Heh, just a bunch of sissies playing around on the playground equipment or playing games. Heh, bunch of wimps. It's hilarious watching them do all that stuff. I bet they all wish they were as tough as me and my team. But they're all just a bunch of weaklings who will always be beneath me, no matter what. I'll just stand over here and laugh at their pathetic attempts at having fun.

2024.05.16 11:28 TryTrinity SoD Phase 3. The real reason people are quitting.

In phase 1 and phase 2 we had almost weekly communication and changes wherever there were serious issues. So why haven't Blizzard:
Added like 500-700% increase EXP gain from outdoor quests to make it attractive?
Increased the Epic Droprate in ST from 1 to 4, so i don't have a 1/5 to roll vs 8 other people when the fist weapon drop once per week?
Small +5 Spellpower buffs here and there to caster gear?
Remove the mojo unique 2, since they are only usable in ST anyway?
And so much more, just observe reddit for 3 minutes and you will find many more.
Blizzard, we are providing you with what we want to see changed every day. And you did listen in ph1+2, and communicated on why you didn't implemented/changed something when you disagreed. But in phase 3... just silence. This is why so many people are losing faith.

2024.05.15 14:22 SevereParamedic4985 ES9038Q2M dac in wiim ultra streamer vs chord mojo 2

I own a chord mojo 2 connected to some genelec m040 monitors with chord clearway RCA. I listen to cd quality or better files only through audirvana on my Mac. To my ears the sound per £ is great. However, the price in the uk of the two units is very similar and I would get far more functionality out of the wiim streamer and could connect my turntable/rega pre-amp etc to the unit. Just wondering how inferior sounding the dac would be in the wiim? I’ve previously owned a Topping D50s which has 2 ES9038Q2M chips inside it and it didn’t sound nearly as good as the chord, but I know the chips are only part of what makes the dac sound good. Realise this is all personal preference at the end of the day and I could connect the mojo to the wiim , but if anyone has any experience with the wiim I’d like to hear. Thanks

2024.05.15 03:12 ByMyDecree Reviewing and Ranking Every Battle: James Bond vs. Austin Powers

Tier List: https://imgur.com/a/WcUX9AP
Good gravy, these visuals. This is the most visual flair they've ever had in a battle up until this point. More on the particulars later. Unfortunately the music is comparatively pretty weak and unmemorable, with the notable exception of the track that plays during Austin Powers' bits.
So, Daniel Craig Bond's first verse. "[insert Bond villains here] were not as crooked and rotten as your teeth are." that's a decent burn, but man, I always feel bad for Austin Powers when Bond says this. Powers looks genuinely hurt, quit bullying Powers, Craig Bond! "I'll go balls to the Walther on this wack twat in an ascot; Blast shots atcha like gas from the back slot of a fat Scot!" Intellectually I acknowledge that there is some somewhat clever wordplay going on here, but I can't say I particularly care for these lines. The "I'm licensed to kill; you couldn't get a learner's permit!" is an alright diss I guess. The lines comparing their filmography and tying in You Only Live Twice into the diss... I dunno, something feels so rote and lifeless about this burn. It's competent, but it's not doing much for me. The best part of this verse is easily the "B on D/beyond me" diss, fun wordsmithing there. The closer is competent, reference to Golden Gun, sure, that's fine, but I ain't writing home about it. I'll go into more detail about this towards the end, but I'm not a fan of this verse, I think Craig Bond as a rapper is a fairly bland character and that the background visuals are having to compensate hard for his lifelessness.
Austin Powers opens his verse by acknowledging that he has been catfished by Craig Bond, which I think is a ton of fun. The visual of Austin Powers splitting into rainbow versions of himself as his track with the horns starts blaring is just fantastic. "Basil Exposition told me this would be boring; but Jesus, man, even my mojo's snoring!" This isn't a particularly clever line or a powerful diss, mostly seems like an excuse to drop a couple references, but I'm in full agreement with Austin Powers here. Craig Bond's performance was boring. Austin Powers proceeds to mock Craig Bond for his hairless body, contrasting it with his own glorious chest bush. I love how much confidence Austin has in his sexiness despite not being the least bit conventionally attractive. I also love this set with Austin, his buddy, and these women all rocking out. The computer-generated visuals of Craig Bond's backgrounds are impressive, sure, but actually having this wacky set made for the battle really elevates it to a new level in terms of presentation. And all these close-ups of Austin's eyes, mouth, and ass getting slapped... much more flair than their usual fare. Austin Powers threatens to hypnotize Craig Bond with a strip tease and I just... look, I'm not saying these are great lines, on paper Austin does not have the strongest disses, but this verse is just so FUN. The dancing and choreography with Austin's visuals are top-notch, love him slapping his ass on the spinning bed. "You're defenseless, my rhymes can't be deflected, you're like all the sex I've ever had: unprotected!" is genuinely hilarious. "People want a hero with a little personality; no one wants to sit through your gritty reality" is definitely encapsulating the vibe I feel on the question of James Bond vs. Austin Powers. Powers then goes in for a nice blow with the line about them making Thunderball twice. "I'm one of a kind, you're always getting remade" goes hard, even harder nowadays than it did back when this was made. "You can't touch me, double oh behave" is a cute reference, but it's not anything more than that, same tier of verse closer as Craig Bond's.
Then we have the misfortune of returning to Craig Bond's gritty reality. "I can't believe I'm wasting my time with this clown, I should... be on an island with a fucking model by now" is really weak. It feels ad-libbed. You're not too cool for this rap battle Craig Bond, you're actually not nearly cool enough. Craig throws in a reference to the penis pumping joke from Austin Powers, we get a little failed interjection from Powers, and that's fun. Craig Bond does get a strong blow in with "but I'm the original model that your frilly ass mimics"; a powerful argument that you can't take away from Craig Bond.
Until Sean Bond comes in and takes that away from Craig Bond with a cheeky "I wouldn't exactly call you original". Good stuff. The BDSM joke is whatever. "Your performance doesn't stir me and I'm certainly not shaken" is an amusing reference to his famous quote, maybe a little obvious and corny, but what really helps sell it is the way it segueways into "if I wanted shitty acting in my action film, I'd go and watch Taken". Fun! "I don't need a Q to break your balls" is some good wordplay. I remember watching this with my family years ago, and my father groaned at Bond's closing Gold Bond joke and said "That's terrible." and... yeah, I kind of have to agree. It's a good jab and the wordplay isn't without its wit, but there's something so goddamned cheesy about it. Can't help but roll my eyes when he smugly looks at the camera and says 'Gold Bond'. It's the phrasing and line delivery, I think. This joke might have landed better if they refrained from trying to tie it into that famous quote.
Austin Powers makes a valiant effort to get back in the battle, but gets bitch slapped for his troubles.
There's something so... for lack of a better term... beta about the way Craig Bond comes in and touches Sean Bond's arm to get his attention. "The world has had quite enough rug-wearing misogynists" is accurate, albeit not the most clever.
Austin Powers shows Craig Bond up by carrying that line of argumentation further with an amusing bit about Sean Bond being a rapist. I love how uncomfortable Austin Powers seems.
"If they made a mini-me they'd have to cast Peter Dinklage"... that's so lame, guys. Come on.
"Or maybe they should cast a Bond who's actually English" winds up seeming like way stronger of a burn than it is for the fact that Sean Bond takes so much offense to it he feels the need to slap Craig Bond hard for it. Austin's awed reaction in the background is quite funny.
"Why, Pussy, aren't you the cunning linguist?" Har har har.
I like the way Craig Bond takes Sean Bond's wordplay and uses it to mount a counteroffensive, he delivers a couple real solid lines here.
Sean Bond's closer is pretty unremarkable. I guess I could charitably consider it to be of the same caliber as the closers for Craig Bond's and Powers' first verse closers, a cute little reference but nothing more. Austin Powers continues to be the best part of the battle as he rises up into the frame, enamored with his opponents.
Alright, so... I think Craig Bond gives one of the dullest and most unmemorable performances in ERB history. For one thing, his face is just not very expressive here; it's like he constantly has one facial expression. Even when his face is contorting a bit to try and express anger he still looks the same. I don't know to what extent that's just the actor's physical appearance, or if it's a deliberate choice as part of the Craig Bond persona, or what, but watching him perform feels like watching a flat line. It doesn't help that he just looks like some guy. Austin Powers and Sean Bond have very distinct and flashy appearances, but with Craig Bond it looks like they just brought in some random guy off the street and gave him a suit. Maybe that's accurate to Daniel Craig's Bond, but it's a problem for this rap battle regardless. This guy is so nondescript he's regularly getting upstaged by his backgrounds. Another issue I have with this battle is that it clearly does not respect the existence of Austin Powers as a rapper. I could be misremembering, but I believe I've heard that the creators said they didn't like the idea of a parody rapping against the character they're based on, and that this one ultimately got made because they could turn it into a Bond v. Bond battle. Personally I think the idea of having a parody go up against the original is vastly more interesting of a matchup and that Bond v. Bond is the thing that isn't really worth doing. I'd rather this have just been a battle between Austin Powers on one side with two verses and one or both of the Bonds on the other. I also want to say that this is one of the best and most un-NicePeter performances Peter has ever given; I had to go on the wiki and double-check to make sure Peter actually played him. I think Peter has an issue with a lot of his characters sounding same-y, but this sounds nothing like him. It doesn't look like him either; it's not just that the costuming is great, the dancing and mannerisms are real different from Peter's usual stuff. Just look at that pose he strikes on the right at 1:13. So good. One of Peter's best characters.
Anyhoo... I'd put this battle in B Tier, below Ghostbusters vs. Mythbusters but above Robocop vs. Terminator. The Craig and Sean Bonds have their moments, but their parts greatly pale in comparison to Austin Powers... but even then, Austin Powers' verse isn't that great, it's more supremely entertaining than expertly written. It shapes out to being a solid battle that still leaves a lot to be desired.
I don't care what anyone thinks, I'm saying Austin Powers>Sean Bond>Craig Bond. Austin Powers is the entire reason I revisit this battle.

2024.05.14 14:24 ElvisThrill PVF Standings overturned by the PVF Electoral College

PVF Standings overturned by the PVF Electoral College
In a stunning move late Monday night, PVF Commissioner Jen Spicher announced that she was overturning the results of the PVF standings from the regular season and replacing them with the results of the PVF Electoral College. "In the end, the whole standings idea, with all the 'wins' and 'losses' and 'tiebreakers', was just too confusing for the average fan", Spicher stated in a press conference late Monday night. "We decided we needed to rethink the whole concept." In place of standings, the PVF conducted a nationwide popularity poll, and assembled state-by-state winners to produce a PVF Electoral College map.
https://preview.redd.it/rf6w9thxwd0d1.png?width=1337&format=png&auto=webp&s=47ca303e253e51c8dabfcf093d2c6a640a7bf8e6
Surprisingly, the Vegas Thrill managed to place first in the PVF Electoral College race (189 votes), with a still unexplained strong showing in the Northeast. Finishing behind them were the Atlanta Vibe (107 votes), San Diego Mojo (57 votes) and the Grand Rapids Rise (54 votes). Left outside of the semifinals in the new format were the Omaha Supernovas.
"Of course, we're disappointed," stated interim head coach Laura 'Bird' Kuhn. "But after talking to the Commissioner, it was pretty clear that the Electoral College was definitely the more sensible solution."
When contacted at home, Vegas head coach Fran Flory stated, "I just heard 10 minutes ago, and we're obviously thrilled."
Asked whether or not her team would be ready for Wednesday's semifinal, Flory replied, "To be honest, I think they're all out celebrating the end of the season somewhere. I'm heading down to the Strip now to bring them back -- wish I could remember what club they said they were off to."
Pressed further, Flory stated optimistically, "Listen, I may not be able to take a full crew over to the semifinals. But even if we have just 6, we'll have to adapt. I mean, for a million bucks, I'm pretty sure our libero can pound a few kills down from the outside."
Revised Wednesday Schedule
6:00 PM #1 Vegas Thrill vs #4 Grand Rapids Rise
8:30 PM #2 Atlanta Vibe vs #3 San Diego Mojo

2024.05.11 16:48 Able-Note1516 Back stretching vs back bending vs back pain training. What’s the difference?

I’ve decided to make this blog post because frequently people ask us for a back program, and they are not specific about it. So, we have to figure out what a person wants or needs.
When someone says that they're looking for a back program, sometimes they are looking for a back bending program, sometimes they are looking for a back stretching program, and sometimes they're looking for a back pain release program.
And there are also cases when, people are looking for a tilt program, such as anterior pelvic tilt or posterior pelvic tilt, where the lower back is too rounded or too straight. And every so often people ask for a program for their upper back, but what they are really looking for is to improve their posture.If you are new to flexibility training or even if you know a little bit about flexibility training programs, not necessarily, the EasyFlexibility training programs, but training programs in general, this blog post may benefit you.

What is Back Bending? What does it mean to do a Back Bend?

In short, back bending is, basically folding your body back. It might be a cobra position. It might be a bridge position. It might be any other back bending position. But that's what back bending is.📷

What is Back Stretching? What does it mean to Stretch your back?

Back stretching usually means bending forward to stretch the muscles of the back, and in this case, we're talking about the extensors of the spine primarily. Or back stretching means decompression of the spinal column.
And a physical therapist or a chiropractor might have a device which will pull your upper body and lower body in opposite directions. And sometimes, you can hang on a bar with your feet not touching the ground. Or you can hang upside down with special boots which will also stretch your back. And this will actually decompress your spine.

What is back pain? Are you really having back pain? Areyou looking for a program to help ease your back pain or do you mean something else entirely when you say “I need a back pain program”?

Now, if you're looking for a back program for back pain, that's a different story, because it involves strengthening and stretching the muscles around your lower back and your hips. Because most people ask for a lower back pain program. But even with lower back pain, in some cases, the students think they need to go beyond just the core of the body and the hips into other areas as well.📷

Or are you looking for a Perfect Posture Program whenyou’re asking for a back stretching program?

Now, if someone is looking for a good posture program, usually people ask for a back program, but they don't mean necessarily back bending or back stretching.
They mean making their body comfortable and strong where their upper middle back is not hunched forward, rotated or bent to the side. And that reference to the back training or back program is a posture program.📷

Having a perfect posture is one of those things that everyone talks about, yet very few know how to get.

Often general terms like "Do more Yoga", or "Take Pilates Class" come to mind.
The problem?
Too many exercises and non are specific enough to improve the way a person bears his or her body.

Back Bending vs Back Stretching a deeper dive.

Back bending and back stretching are not the same. But part of the reason why I'm writing this article is because, oftentimes people use these terms interchangeably. So, let’s clarify the difference.
If you are bending backward, you are stretching the muscles in front of your body. You might be strengthening the muscles in the back of your body. You might be strengthening the muscles in front of your body, or both, depending on what you are looking for.
In the EasyFlexibility system, the supporting exercises or the strength exercises that back up the flexibility depend heavily on the skill. Meaning that for one skill, you might strengthen the antagonist muscles, and then for another skill you might strengthen the agonist muscles.
For example, in Back bending you've stretched the muscles in front of your body, but which ones you would strengthen depends on what pose or what are you doing with that back bending?
If someone is doing a high cobra, which is a cobra where the feet touch the head, the muscles that will be stretched would be rectus abdominis, obliques, all six hip flexors, all four adductors, the quadriceps. And depending on the head position, the flexors of the neck.
Since you are reading this article on the EasyFlexibility blog, you either know this or you're about to find out that in the EasyFlexibility system we don't just hold a position and hope for the best. We isolate muscles based on the muscles’ actions and that speeds up the flexibility progress.
Now, if your back bending involves the arms, for example, if you're doing the bridge, you will be stretching other muscles. You'll be stretching your rhomboids. You'll be stretching your teres major. Depending on how you position your arms, you will be stretching your subscapularis, posterior deltoid, teres minor, teres major, latissimus dorsi. A lot of these muscles are located in the back, but some like pectoralis minor or pectoralis major, the sternal part, is located in the front.
Now, if you are looking to stretch your back according to the definition, if you look into stretching the muscles in your back, you will be stretching the spinal extensors. You might be stretching quadratus lumborum depending on what you do and if your arms are involved.
Interestingly, you will be stretching the same muscles that you stretch in a bridge. In other words, if you're hanging off the bar, you're stretching the same muscles that you are if you're doing a back bridge. But if your arms are not involved, then the back bending and back stretching are completely different.
An example of back stretching might be lying on your back and doing a crunch. This is a reciprocal inhibition for the back. You are contracting the muscles in front and stretching the muscles in the back. If you use your arms to hold yourself in a stretched position, let's say you're trying to pull your head to your knees, then, it now becomes a passive stretch for your back.
It is not common among athletes to have tight back muscles. When it comes to forward stretching or stretching of the back muscles, it happens but it's not common. Among people who are not active it's more common.
When athletes are looking for flexibility, in terms of stretching forward, they're usually not looking for flexibility in their back. They're looking for flexibility in their hamstrings and glutes and other muscles that restrict forward bending. And the reason for that is because of the way basic conditioning exercises are designed in athletics.
Because most people have poor posture and day to day activities involve movement of the back, most do not have a problem with flexibility of their spinal extensors. Of course, some people are in sports where they may want an extreme flexibility in their spinal extensors beyond what they already have.
For example, grapplers. But for most people, it's not really an issue. The issue is more about back bending, if someone needs that.
Not everyone needs that in their sports or activities. Some people don't need it, but they want it, and that's another story. And for most people, again, it's forward bending from the hips. That's where the restriction is, not forward bending from the spine.

2024.05.11 08:06 evlawnmower Favorite Animal Figurines?

My son still loves his Little People animals, but he’s becoming more interested in the realistic figurines at school and in shops. I’m a little overwhelmed by all the brands — Schleich, Safari Ltd, Papo, PNSO, CollectA, Mojo… I’m sure that barely scratches the surface. This is a lot more confusing than… say, monster trucks, wherein the options are Mattel’s Hot Wheels vs. Spinmaster’s Monster Jam.
There are so many facets to this comparison: accurate scale, paint detailing, store availability, longevity, price.
Perhaps one brand makes awesome dinosaurs but super whack horses? Perhaps another brand is your go-to for sea creatures but their African wildlife is hideous?
What’s your families’ favorite brand(s) of figurines?
