Sony Vizio has unparalleled picture quality but they are full of bugs/manufacturer defects and don't last. My mom paid nearly $1000 for a high end Sony 42" and it's less than 2 years old but having all kinds of problems which are apparently common among the line.

Anything that puts me into an unintended surplus. Why would a single slice of pizza count as a cheat when you can still easily stay within your calorie limits after eating it? Unless you've eaten a significant portion of a large deep dish pizza loaded with all the trimmings, and extra sauce it's fairly easy to stay within…

OP: No offense but you clearly aren't yet at the level of proficiency where you can get the most out of a program like the one you're attempting to do without injury, and you also don't have the knowledge you need in order to be able to put together a decent program on your own. You should do one of the cookie-cutter…

I have put some money into it but it's not necessary. Some of my best matches have been in mechs available through c-bills. In fact I have a video on my youtube channel of me absolutely dominating in one. Light mechs like the Jenner require a lot of skill to pilot correctly and are not very beginner friendly. You need to…

The lunk alarm at mine would typically go off 2-3x over the course of the hour and a half I was there, without fail. I only ever set it off once myself, when I attempted to do squats on the Smith machine and a staff member told me that was prohibidabido.

I wouldn't say unfortunate. Just different. Different perspective. Comes with benefits too.

I guess there's my problem. I don't do well with symbolisms in general. I also have issues understanding when people use sarcasm or speak in metaphors. I tend to only get literal and logical. I do not appreciate or understand gestures that may mean something, nor do I give them when they do not have a practical…

Can I ask the point of the whole "rising" when a woman enters thing? I'm just trying to understands its origins and possible symbolisms.

I wouldn't call it questioning authority, just rather simply being born with a very inquisitive nature. For as long as I can remember, I've needed to know the "why" behind everything I did. And if I couldn't find a valid "why" then it made no sense to me from a logical point of view to go along with it. Even traditions…

Test for what? And questioning things for logic is undateable? Okay, if that's your thing, that's cool, but it doesn't matter to me whether or not it makes me undateable.

How is that "celebrating" differences? Forgive me but I tend to take words at their literal meanings and I don't see how doing things for a woman that you wouldn't do for other men constitutes a celebration. Also, different does not mean better. But doing things for them you wouldn't do for others does say "better."

That is the way it should be. And that's not chivalry. It's common courtesy.

Please don't use the whole "knights" example. There was so much hypocrisy in knighthood when that was written it isn't even funny. Cheating on your wife is adultery. But raping the wife of a man you kill in battle? Not adultery, spoils of victory. Let's not forget knighthood was basically bought. Your idea of the whole…

I was raised with it. I just questioned it, is all. The person I am has very little to do with how my parents *tried* to raise me and it bothers me that people talk about it's how you were "raised." It has simply always been my nature to question the logic behind things, even the things my parents tried to teach me, and…

The whole point I was addressing/attacking (whether or not you choose to call it that) are the gender specific aspects of what people refer to as chivalry. In your eyes, does it say something negative about someone if the way they act toward strangers is in no way gender specific, even if it is overall common courtesy?…

We live in a world where physical strength doesn't count for much anymore. Not in the grand scheme of things. And I fail to see how physical strength has any bearing on the whole matter. And guess what. Those "little" gestures? More often than not he does them because he was simply programmed to from childhood. Like a…

So question then. Why do only women get to get put on a pedestal? And why do only women deserve your protection?

I'm not saying you're incorrect about the holding doors for others, or about how a man treats others says volumes about him. What I question are the parts that apply specifically to women. And protective? I'm sorry but how am I supposed to feel protective towards someone I have no emotional bond with? Anyway, what I…

Sooo putting someone up on a pedestal and showing "reverence" as you would to the queen is celebrating.... equality? And showing respect? Again, not seeing the correlation here. In fact that sounds like something totally different. I do not comprehend the idea of opening a door for someone as showing respect. For many, it…

I fail to see what the point she's making (which I agree with) has anything to do with opening doors for her or offering to help her carry something. I just don't see a link. Is she so physically weak she's unable to pen the door? Or carry the package? If not, then I'm sorry but it seems totally unrelated.

Honestly, "Princess" makes me think of a selfish woman with an entitlement complex.

Therein lies one of the issues. People have different definitions of chivalry. For some, it's a series of behaviors such as opening doors for women, pulling out chairs for them, things like that. For others it's something else. The behaviors themselves I have a personal issue with because I see them as being very…

I fail to see why "how you were raised" was a factor in this whole chivalry mess. My parents tried--really tried--to teach me these things, but it was always my nature to question the logical reasons for these behaviors. I could not find a logical reason for it, so I did not honor it.

Personally I disagree with the concept behind chivalry and am glad it's dying. I think it's an illusion and I cannot comprehend the idea of giving someone special treatment based on the fact that they are a woman.

From what I understand the "corporate policy" is more of a guideline that the franchise owner can choose whether or not they want to adhere to. That being said, official PF corporate policy does prohibit the type of workouts/exercises that necessitate use of a squat rack, which is why many locations don't even have one.…

As long as you are willing to take supplements and plan meals extensively you can do it with pretty much any diet plan. An omnivorous diet is simply the easiest way to meet your nutritional goals because not nearly as much planning or supplementation is required.

I used to play Eve. I sold my account because the playerbase as a whole was ruining the game for me. MMO games in general tend to be bad about this but Eve was the worst. It seems that it's difficult to find players who are good enough to play at the high level but at the same time don't take the game too seriously.

Suspension trainer. There is a program called TRX Force using one that was designed specifically to prepare you for that test. Also look into the Ultimate Sandbag Selected! training program which is similar.

It debuted in 2010 and there has been a new one to come out each year since. They're all excellent workouts.

In my personal opinion the only actress I can think of off the top of my head who has both the acting skills and the look (or the genetics needed to attain the look with the proper investment of time in the gym) is Rhona Mitra. Imagine if she spent more time in the gym and had a costume supplied by an actual Hollywood…
