How the fuck do we know how much we're really lifting bros? How do we know our local gyms bar and weights weigh what they see they do? It's not like all gyms use eleiko colours discs, I've gone to gyms where I suspect the plates were probably cheaper than my home ones
at my gym someone at one point weighed all the 45lb plates (~20kgs to yurohomos) and wrote on them with a white sharpie. So you know. We have a set of precision milled kilos plates as well. Plates smaller than 45 lbs don't matter as much. Close enough.

Some bars in my gym weigh 43lbs and others are as heavy as 49lbs.

>Have to do a project in c++ and literally know nothing about it
who here /fucked/?
You just cannot make this shit up hahaha

I weighed one of the bars at my gym and it was 50lb. Got to add 5lb to my OHP so that was nice.

I've weighed some of the plates at my gym and they're the right weight.

c++ is easy m8 just read the book

>just read the 2000 page book that takes hours to explain the fundimental concepts
>>36595857
what's the project?
>>36595946
not op but fuck you if you think its easy
just got to smart pointers and reference counting and it makes me wanna die
also have to redo a test in OOP, failed because of operator overloading and templates senpai
>>36596008
I have to create a program that permutates words, simulates a cryptograph and does all kinds of shit with cyphering. It's annoying af.
>>36596050
>annoying as fuck
is this for non-majors or something?
if not, why are you doing it if you don't like it?
>>36596050
>tfw learning C and fucking hate it
>only learning pointers and 2D arrays
glad I'm not a cs major
fuck all that shit
>>36596035
You better fucking thank God there are smart pointers. Or do you want to handle all that shit on your own? The truth of the matter is with modern c++ you barely even need pointers and manual memory management anymore.
It's still important to know the underlying basics though so learn that shit.
