  • I am also 6’7"… Ish, haha. Tagged as fellow tall. There’s your explanation.

    I am exactly 2m. So just shy, but more than 6’6".

    I am actually mostly body, so my butts lower than yours. Idk, I’m curious if this is better or worse for my hamstring in a cramp? Idk if the back muscles it connects to affect it or not lol. Idk if it makes it worse either way though.

    My go to is to Indian leg wrestle a wall when it cramps up. Like I scoot my ass past the wall and raise my cramping leg to get my heel locked onto the wall past 90° and force my knee to lock (with my hands if I need to which, for anyone reading that has never experienced this, is basically necessary. Your hamstring is stronger than most of your leg, save your groin, but it’s basically unable to affect the hamstring in a cramp. So your biceps and triceps are necessary sometimes.)

    The physics make less sense to me but I actually end up getting relief putting my calf on the arm of a couch while I crunch my abs forward as hard as I can. Having a partner hold you in place here would be ideal as far as I’ve felt.

    Cheers homie. Good luck. The world was designed for a max of 6’5". We have it ok. But damn. Cheers.


  • With all muscle cramps. Do what feels counterintuitive.

    The muscle contracts/tightens. Stretching it hurts more, but it is what must be done.

    For when someone reading this has a hamstring cramp… You might wanna figure out that stretch ahead of time. It’s a bit heftier than the calf muscle and puts up a better fight.


  • I wish he went into more detail about the situation with the police seeming to collude with this business owner to harass and intimidate ben. That’s the bigger story.

    The legos and sick old man are the hook, but the meat of this situation is a corrupt police department colluding with a local church to protect a corrupt business owner.

    Like even if Ben were just a total troll and was in the wrong… These cops have completely fucked themselves if it gets federally investigated. It’s cut and dried federal conspiracy by Utahs statutes. 5 to life per count. Basically a law designed for officials.

    The unredacted bodycam stuff is wild.


  • This is not making you sound smarter, my guy…

    The 2008 example is completely unrelated to your original claim. Taxpayers did not own 50% of the banks, and they still got bailed out. So clearly ownership is not what creates bailout risk…?

    Bailouts are political decisions made under claims of systemic risk. They are not an automatic legal consequence of owning shares.

    The AI proposal is about companies paying a one-time tax in stock, meaning existing owners (read: Billionaires) give up equity into a public fund. If the companies fail, those shares can go to zero. That is equity risk.

    It does not mean taxpayers become the company’s creditors, guarantors, or emergency piggy bank.

    You started by claiming public ownership makes taxpayers responsible for losses. Now you’re arguing that the government sometimes bails industries out even without public ownership. That’s a different argument, and it actually undermines your first one.

    Like dude you got some upvotes on your first comment and it had appeal to people but it didn’t come from a person who read the article or knows what the fuck they’re talking about. And every time you respond to me you give it away more and more. Quit while you’re ahead and stay in school.









  • Under promise and over deliver is still king.

    “I cannot guarantee something won’t go sideways. I need at least 3 weekends of overtime available to be certain before it’s released.”

    Deliver it 10 days later. Or 12, after relaxing for a day or two.

    Your timeframe stands. New project? Do it again. Give yourself ~100-150% extra room.









  • So oddly tier iii is just tier 2. Most places don’t have a tier 2.

    1 years experience as sysadmin is great. Here’s the neat little trick no one tells you: what you say your job is on your resume should reflect WHAT YOU DO. Not the title of what you were hired for

    Are you doing dev ops at a small outfit as a support engineer? Your resume should not say “support engineer.” It should say what your tasks reflect to the market. Not what some dude said your position is.
