  • warning: n of 1 bro-science ahead

    interesting. in my experience, creatine has zero impact on muscle endurance or the refractory period, but absolutely promotes increased power output and therefore more work done per set.

    with basic progressive overload lifting, creatine has enabled heavier lifts for the same number of reps - producing a bigger window for additional muscle growth and, barring damage from lifting weight you should not be lifting, my personal experience shows that creatine is useful for muscle gain in experienced lifters. obviously, you still have to do the progressive overload work.







  • depending on specs it will be a little power hungry, but a good virtualization platform.

    yes, the power supplies are likely redundant and the server will complain if they are not both powered.

    it will use a VGA connection, but you should be ale to find cheap VGA monitors or cheap adapters.

    RAID controllerfor those drives? how many processors and cores? how much RAM? what OS are you planning on running on it? iDRAC included? (if so, likely idrac6, but still usable)

    this hardware is very well supported by linux - I have used these older servers extensively. your boss was right to be excited for you. its a great exploration platform that you will be able to do lots of things with.

    fire up a live linux distro and get detailed specs on the box - that will guide what you can play with right away.










  • Firefox reader mode seems to get you the article, but the gist…

    1. previously to provide “evidence” of leo presence at the scene with fingerprints (outmoded with cameras and fingerprint evidence being questionable).

    2. to instill surprise/fear in the vehicle occupants (disrupting any attept to supposedly hide evidence) and to provide the leo with some comfort that a potential assailant is not going to pop out of the trunk

    but lets face it, imho its a power and control move.
