I think the etiquette is not praying on other people's lawns without asking

I mean, I think it was nice of you not to interrupt him. But also, wtf?

some people are strict about it. good on you for not interrupting him. it seems weird since he could just pray on the sidewalk or whatever? harder on the knees i guess

also i don't know if you know this but you're also not supposed to walk in front of muslims during prayer :themoreyouknow:

With the size of our sidewalks and the direction he was facing, I think he would have been blocking the whole thing to do it there, so being on the lawn makes sense to me.

well they could believe in a flat earth centered at mecca and be mostly fine

the closest population centre to the antipode of mecca is in french polynesia which does not have a significant muslim population afaik

i definitely want to get something to put them on top of - it's hard to pick them up off of the floor without lifting with my back (not good)
cardboard is a good idea for now, though. might also would be good to put under a weight stand, too
i'll probably just get one of these https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=weight+sta ... doa-p_1_12

I think you'd want something more like this https://www.ironmaster.com/products/sta ... dumbbells/ although that particular one is kind of custom-made for that company's adjustables

something like a nightstand might work if you don't care about damaging it

i would be concerned that a nightstand would not support 105 pounds
but yeah, i only have one pair
(i mean actually i have another pair, but they're not as heavy and they're not metal so probably if i put them on a metal stand it would dig into them and damage them)
so really i don't need a stand per se, just something table-like to put them on top of

yeah if you're still bending down to the floor to change the weights you're not really benefiting much from a standard dumbbell rack
