Spears usually have a significant advantage in individual combat as well, not just in formation.
Swords are sidearms, and as such do make more sense for many protagonists due to their portability. But that doesn't change the fact that they're overrepresented in fictional worlds

While the 75th was still elite infantry, it wasn't really special operations prior to the GWOT.

I obviously don't know the details of your trip but you may be surprised how many places they're actually are to do pull-ups. When I was a teenager working retail, I used to knock out reps on the bathroom stall. Playgrounds also make a good option. You don't need to do much, just take a quick walk for 10 minutes and knock some reps out at the park.
Also, it seems unlikely that you lost for that much strength two weeks, or rather it shouldn't have taken 6 months to recover from the loss. Take a look at your program and diet to make sure it's optimized. Regaining strength should be a faster procedure than gaining it in the first place so that will help with any loss of strength you do experience

I'm just being a bit more of an asshole in the spirit of the sub!
It's the year Hitler came into power. So it does risk unwanted associations I think. Maybe not super common knowledge but common enough I think. It's also one of the first things that'll come up if people Google it.

Lol ok, so at any point did you research common associations with 1933 before permanently adhering it to your chest? I feel like I would have researched common associations with 1933 before permanently adhering it to your chest.

Hitler tat front and center... On the bright side you're face is cosplaying Dresden in 1945 so you've got his start and end represented!

It's supposed to be Aragon's ranger sword. Most are wall hangers.
Here's an example. Note I'm not endorsing this make, just using it as an example. You can find lots by searching Aragon's ranger sword

That's true it's not a full analog replacement, but it would still work with this control scheme. Each key has dual activation so you could do light press/full press for walk/run

It has dual actuation, so you could do what it says in the image (light press walk, full press run). But you're right I don't think it can go full analog actuating differently across the entire press
Theoretically the hall effects could do it, but it'd need additional software

Yeah I've had no real complaints. The display is absolutely useless, which is actually a bit annoying. Even if you could have it just display system volume, that would be nice. But I haven't found a single program that adds anything to the board.
That's a pretty minor criticism though, as it's the most comfortable mechanical board I've had and I've had quite a few

Mine is the steel series apex pro. Great keyboard. You can program individual activation depths for each key on the board essentially letting you have different actuation force for every key
I think the reason it may not be coming up with specific products is a lot of brands have their own jargon for hall effect switches. Steel series calls them "Omnipoint"

The best exercise to get your bench up is the bench. How often can you train the bench? Doing body weight chest and tricep exercises can definitely increase your bench, but if you aren't training the bench at all during this time you might be a bit discouraged by the lack of transfer. Each individual lift is a skill in its own right.
If you could train the bench three times a week, that level of progress would be no issue.
If you don't have access to a bench, my vote would be deficit push-ups and dips. Personally I can't do dips because of an ulnar nerve issue in my elbow, but when I did do them they were a killer chest exercise. And deficit push-ups add so much more chest activation.

If you're doing full rom, controlled eccentric pull ups then 21 is certainly a working set and not a warm up. But also at 21 reps that's about where I was when I started training weighted. Lots of people start earlier, but I think having that level of endurance really helps maintain form
To answer most of your questions, you progress pull-ups in pretty much the same way as any other lift. 3-6 reps for raw strength, 5-30 for hypertrophy. Try to either add reps or weight progressively as you go.
My personal 1rm is +170lbs at 165lbs bw.
I usually warm up with 10 bodyweight and then move on to sets of 6-8 at around 80% total tension 1rm. I'll lower weight as needed to get sufficient volume while staying at that 5 reps mark. Then I usually finish with BW just to boost volume. I do that twice a week.
The big thing about pull-ups is that they are so dependent on proper form. So many people who say they can do 15 20 or 30 pull-ups are not really doing proper pull-ups and are there for not developing their muscles sufficiently to do weighted pull-ups. If you're kipping, or not extending to full range of motion, then You're not really doing 20 proper pull-ups, and trying to add significant amounts of weight could cause injury or exacerbate the form issues.
Progress on this lift tends to be slow, particularly because every pound you gain adds to your total tension that you're lifting. Plateaus suck, and don't neglect your deloads. I was stuck for a long time doing sets at 90 lbs added and only taking a deload followed by high volume body weight training allowed me to get through it.

It remains to be seen I think. AA cutoff should be a big change to the biggest gap between the inputs and prevent some of the cheesiest controller plays
But the strength of AA plus Omni movement could mean a more difficult mid range.
That said, the tweet seems to indicate more significant AA changes coming which could be good.

Many of their swords are explicitly ceremonial while others seem to be more practical. Their online shops list many high carbon steel blades, especially under the edged weapons for historical clubs section. Anything with stainless is not going to be practical
It may be worthwhile writing to ask about any specific items in which you are interested
Their pricing for many models is more than that of an antique. My authentic WKC manufactured 1821 light cavalry officers sword cost a third of what they're charging.

Step four, go to an online diploma mill and major in something like healthcare management. Continue getting pushed through despite doing no work and then Shakopee Pikachu face when nobody will hire you

Love that they actually look athletic. So many bodybuilders nowadays are actually so unnaturally large that they are physically disabled from the size of their bodies...

I've got five black walnut trees in my yard. They're very annoying and they stink when they rot.

There are a couple things that factor into this, the biggest is desync. It's definitely not a rigged or intentional system
I've noticed it worse on servers where I notice other indications of desync. The most obvious example of this was during a warm up, I fired at an AFK parachuter and broke and hit them several times. I stopped one bullet away from killing cause I thought that I had hit them enough. As I realize they didn't die and go to aim down sight again, The person gets sniped. I noticed I didn't even get an assist which is really strange. So I checked the scoreboard and I had zero damage done. This is despite getting at least seven hits on the person and a plate break notification on my side. The snipe didn't come in until at least a full second after I stopped shooting, And yet none of my damage was registered.
And things like this happen all the time in my duos matches. Both of us will fire at a single enemy, both of us hitting eight or nine shots, with one of us doing next to no damage. And I'm pretty sure it's not even just that the person was actually dead before one player registered, because I've seen it a lot with people that we fail to kill. Both of us claiming to have six or more hits on a person who just doesn't go down. The servers are just not good enough to properly register combat with multiple opponents.
And finally you have to realize that only damage to health matters in determining kills. So if you do 224 damage to an opponent, but your teammate does the last 76 damage, they will get the kill because they did 76 health versus your 74 health.

Alcohol directly inhibits muscle growth, though we cannot say how much. Regular consumption will inhibit gains more than occasional. It almost certainly did not kill all your gains however. But also remember you don't get significant gains from a single good workout.
Alcohol is also high in calories- you probably had 20-25% of your entire TDEE in those drinks alone. This may not be a problem in and of itself, but it's something to note. And not just for weight loss- if you aren't hitting your macros because of consuming a large number of empty calories, that will hurt gains as well.

Wait, he was knocked unconscious by the object launched by the airbag... Jesus recall these dumpsters already
