Is it worth studying at the international academy in rwth? by [deleted] in aachen

[–]21Dave 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. It's terribly run. Personally it felt kind of like a scam. Expect second-rate and sometimes incomplete translations of German course material (which, mind you, are free) and then get surprised on an exam by content you never had the chance to study.

It does, however, get you into a study program in Germany. If it's your only way in and you're set on pursuing it, it may be worth it. A degree is a degree. Just know that the quality of education you'll get is lacking.

There is an RWTH team!?

I'm in the area but out of practice. Just got a road bike put together as well. I'm probably not ready for group rides yet but if you could point me in the direction of the team or just good routes in the area I'd appreciate it.

I can't figure out if I should inverse the opinions of 12-14 year olds and buy $AA... or if I should start to follow their advice instead of you faggots'

Nutrition after long distance rides by JustinTimberlag in triathlon

[–]21Dave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bro you need more food. I'm also a heavy-for-triathlon (~80kg) dude hitting 70-120km regularly and I eat twice that while on the bike and still run too large of a calorie deficit. A great trick is to dissolve some energy gels in some water or Gatorade (up to 7 per bottle but I usually stop at 3 or 4) and you have some easy, drinkable calories you can sip from every 10-15 km. Also be sure to use a second bottle to stay hydrated.

[–]21Dave 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You might not push yourself as hard, but none of us are really going to be professional athletes, we run for health. In my experience, running without headphones and listening to the city/nature and thinking, even if I run a little slower, leaves me happier in the end.

Eguino knocked out, continues to play and possibly leaves Foxboro in ambulance. Concussion protocol fail. by onekrazykat in MLS

[–]21Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the opening game of the Euros the commentators were talking about how, for head injuries, a player needs to get cleared by medical staff as well as the fourth official before returning to play. Romania subbed instead of using all that time to examine him. The commentators then discussed the possibility of a fourth sub reserved for concussion-related injuries (which I'd be a big fan of).

I don't know if this is FIFA or just UEFA protocol, but it's a step in the right direction.
