Ram trucks also are the #1 vehicle for DUIs in the US.

So there's no way for Linux cups drivers to run these printers. Another reason to pass on them!

I know you asked this 3 months ago, but just wanted to give my two cents:

I ran 5/3/1 for 6 years. I started at 27 and stopped it when I was 33. I saw huge gains with it and it was fun for a while. But it wasn't sustainable. Jim Wendler explicitly markets this program as one you can do forever. My experience completely contradicts this and your success with this program entirely depends on your age and quality of recovery. I would never recommend his program if you're not in your prime.

After the spike in gains over the first two years, the constant push for PRs absolutely burned me out and left me bored. And then I ended up getting seriously hurt in a number of different ways. My body just couldn't take it anymore. I had to get shoulder surgery. Then I had to PT my knees. Then finally I fucked up my back in a way that won't ever fully recover.

I spent a year going barely 1x/WK because I was so tired of the program and the intensity constantly aggravated old injuries. I finally got 100% back to the gym regularly, but I did so by throwing that 5/3/1 book away.

I just want to look good naked. The old school thinking was that hypertrophy was hugely dependent on lifting low volume, heavy weight. More recent studies contradict this and show that high volume lower weight can have the same effect. So that's what I've chosen to do, my program focuses on this, I'm getting good gains in mass and I'm finally not leaving the gym in pain anymore.

I guess what I'm saying is, use 5/3/1 and all variants at your own risk. It might be perfect for you depending on your goals & age, but consider a different approach to lifting if you want this to be a hobby you'll enjoy for many years to come.

That sucks. The controller that came with my Xbox S randomly developed stick drift so bad it was trashed. I got maybe 10 hours of use out of it.

I bought a third party controller with digital stick encoders to prevent the problem because Microsoft refuses to fix their controller design.

Oh well guess I'm disabling console updates now

I imagine these are elements that are so short-lived they decay into known daughter particles in fractions of a second

It is exactly as you describe!

You were correct. It was indeed an improperly done piece of kick flashing at the very bottom near the gutter

No diverter is present there at all. There's a bunch of things going on here that could be causing this problem and I think it would be best to address all of them at once:

  • No diverter
  • No drip edge present along gutter, and I've seen water drip from soffit vents. It's possible water is coming into the damaged area from where the soffit meets the wall
  • Vinyl siding was installed over original wood composite. It's questionable whether the step flashing is effective given the setup
  • Gutter potentially too small - I have to clean it out like 6 times a year even with gutter guards over most of it

Good point on the rafter tail. I'll look in the attic in that area to confirm.

Yeah there's flashing above there and it's possible this is the source of the leak.

I'm afraid what I'm going to have to do is take all the siding off above here to expose the flashing and inspect it and repair. Then to remove and fix the rot I'm gonna have to take everything apart to get into that area behind the soffit - remove the gutter, fascia, etc to gain proper access
