The Mindset of a Champion [x-post from /r/fitness] by nerdninjain GetMotivated

[–]mfmbcpman 1 point2 points ago

You should read the same author's book Mindset It's a great book about having a fixed mindset versus growth mindset. It helped me a lot. Personally, I went from a 3.05 cumulative GPA a year ago to a 3.85 term GPA this semester with some adjustments in my mindset.

Best Headphones for working out and running? by ScannerBrightlyin Fitness

[–]mfmbcpman 0 points1 point ago

I just had to replace those same ones actually. I got a pair of JVC headphones that go over your ear for $18 at Best Buy. They include 3 different size ear pieces. I went for a run/hike today and liked them a lot more than the Sony pair.

Finding a house near Tempe campus by gnlcwrin ASU

Adam, just use a combination of Craigslist and the rental websites. No reason to use a realtor if you're only renting for 9-12 months.

Undie Run worth going to this year? by IsItTheBagelin ASU

[–]mfmbcpman 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it is going to be worse but still a cool event. I went the last 2 years and had a blast. I'm mostly looking forward to the after-party.

I know everyone who planned it and ASU administration has put up all the roadblocks. It couldn't be on the SRC fields. No cameras allowed. No official run course allowed. 10,000 person cap. Additionally, it's really hard to get funding for an event like this.

The aftermath of my friend's bike and the car that hit him. by impulsinatorin bicycling

Yeah, I was being sarcastic but apparently it wasn't clear enough

Yeah, how tacky it is trying to get karma from a picture after his friend was nearly killed...

North Scottsdale, right near where he got hit is pretty good for biking. We have a lot of bike lanes in the valley but of course, there are always risks. Where he got hit is a place where a lot of cyclists ride.

I've definitely ridden my bike on that same street. Scary stuff.

"That's Why You Don't Have Any Friends." by Splinesin GetMotivated

Great read; reminded me of my high school days.

Training Tuesdays by MrTomnusin weightroom

I've found myself having the problem of reading too much and trying to find the perfect program for my goals. Finally just picked SL 5x5 and it's been working great for me.

Pop in my lower back during squat.. by backpainowin Fitness

I've been going to parallel so I didn't think there was a problem, but thank you for the reply. I'll check out that link!

I can't do the Asian squat but I'm 5 weeks into Stronglifts. Is it very bad? How do I improve myself?

A police car just drove down my street announcing over a loud speaker "...Stay inside and report suspicious behavior." WTF is going on? by funky_thomas_edisonin ASU

[–]mfmbcpman 1 point2 points ago

I'm guessing it's because they stole it directly from someone with force instead of just cutting a lock and taking it.

Apartments: how much should I expect to pay? by hasbrenin ASU

[–]mfmbcpman 1 point2 points ago

The big variables are how close to campus you'd like to be and if you'd like to live with roommates. For example, Vista del Sol is an apartment complex directly next to campus where you will pay $680 a month plus electric in a 4 bedroom arrangement. For a 1 bedroom there, it's $1,200 a month.

Here is a link to the off-campus housing page. If you click on the Off-Campus Housing Guide, it includes a list of nearly every apartment complex in Tempe plus tips.

A box of 50 rounds of 9 mm ammo is about $12.

Lisa Love finally fired! by nopantsftwin arizona

It's just a title. It could be executive director, general manager, senior administrator, or CEO; they're all basically the same thing.

"...Crow has been lying to students and staff about raises for the past four years." by suburban_rhythmin ASU

[–]mfmbcpman 8 points9 points ago

That was an incredibly poorly written article. He mostly just listed salaries without context.

The indestructible Navy Chair. BIFL-worthy or waste of money? by purplegrrlin BuyItForLife

[–]mfmbcpman 0 points1 point ago

It's a chair. Chairs with no moving parts don't break. Waste of money for sure. If you really want a chair that withstands torpedo blasts, sure spend the $400.

Incoming business freshman attending ASU next fall, question about housing... by pirateflavorin ASU

Live in Hassy. It's very new and in a great location. The few people I knew in Sonora all transferred to Hassy mid-semester because they hated how far away it was. Even the apartment complex Vista del Sol is closer than Sonora.

This is where ASU burns all the freshmen that cheat on their Calc tests.... by sirdavidkahn1in ASU

Oh please haha, Barrett kids don't have to cheat. I found an old incinerator in the tunnels to the Secret Garden though, you should go check that out

I barely play Starcraft but this would be a lot of fun. I'd go once at least. I'm a student on campus too and I know the Honors College would be perfect to attract students for this.

That's why you give blood! I give the max, 3 times a year.

The people who say that they don't want to give away their blood amaze me.
