Hi, i recently moved to Southeast Michigan from the NE area, and I'm finding that my hourly based forecast app (weather.com) isnt very accurate?

For instance, just now it showed no rain for the rest of the night (9:14pm), yet all of a sudden it started pouring...

Is this supposed to happen? Where im from the app is usually 99% accurate, especially if looking at the most recent upcoming hours.

Hi, so im not new to lifting but have been researching bench form. Is it correct to say that my elbows should be less than 90° on the way down, basically tucked, but on the way UP, some flaring is correct and even encouraged?

Hi, so ive been thinking about water filtration methods.

If I use chlorine dioxide first to get rid of the bacteria, parasites, and some viruses, and then used a brita (etc) water filter pitcher, would that cover everything needed to make the water 100% safe and normal-tasting?

Please share your thoughts, thanks!

edit: SO! ive discovered that brita and other normal filters wont get rid of parasites. in this case what about using a gravity system using the sawyer squeeze?

Hi! Im around the SGV area, but anywhere would work.

Which restaurant has the best Japanese Karaage like the type you'd find in Japan?

Super crunchy yet soft, moist interior?

Please recommend!

Where can I find a place that serves or sells a variety of different dishes in smaller portions?

For instance, Japanese grocery stores with bento boxes, or Woorijip in Manhattan (korean small lunchboxes), or Chinese 3 dish one soup, etc

Cuisine doesn't matter. Mexican, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc.
Please share your recommendations!

I have two bars in my budget and they are Bright Zinc and Hard Chrome.

I am in a high humidity area in the US and will be mostly lifting in a humid garage.

Which coating is more rust/corrosion resistant?

Which is more preferable?

Hi! Ive recently bought a greenworks mower and would like to expand my collection of Ryobi tools.

For a small, 1/4 acre lawn, would I need a 40V string trimmer? Or would 18V be sufficient?

I'm looking to buy something good for around $120 or so, hopefully.

Thanks for any help!

Hi, I recently moved into a house for the first time and would like to know about video doorbells.

If I buy a local storage, non cloud, wifi enabled video camera such as Reolink or Tapos, what would the danger of these units be?

They have wifi. Is that an issue if the video is locally stored?

Hi everyone, I'm currently using non-stick and stainless steel cookware and would like to buy a carbon steel wok.

I was going to get carbon steel but had no clue it could leech arsenic. Is this something I should be concerned about at all? Or is it overblown and unrealistic?

I am planning on moving my family away from non-stick cookware, so any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello! So I know that you can do many things to make a tough cut of meat tender: slow cooking, tenderizing, braising, etc.

But what about mincing the meat? For example a Beef Chuck Roast. Couldn't you simply mince the beef chuck, and then just form it into a patty, meatballs, etc then pan fry or grill, etc.?

Wouldn't that also work well and be far quicker?

E.g. slow cooking for 2 hours vs. mincing, forming patties, then frying them (maybe 30 minutes)?

Does anyone mince their meats to make them tender, and can you recommend your recipes? Thanks!

Since its far easier to lose fat than it is to gain new lean muscle mass, isnt it better to be more aggressive during the cut and less aggressive during the bulk?

Isnt it that the sooner you finish cutting, the earlier you can return to the bulking phase and regain+gain new mass?

quick edit: no i will not be using any form of steroids
