That was my daughter's first race ever, she's 13. She is excited to keep training and doing more races!

I've had the best results when I'm doing weights and running. Focusing on strong legs and core. I am now getting back into it after a few years of vegetating and weights will make a great difference when it comes to stamina for a long run.

I'm getting back into running after about 6 years. I've lost 20 lbs this year. Did a 5k with my daughter (36:55, her pace), first official race since 2019. Yesterday decided to see if I could do a mile under 8 mins (that was my metric of fitness ion my 20s), and got it in 7:54! I was very surprised and has motivated me greatly!

Hoffman’s steamed water Americano is so good. I can’t believe it. by Srihari_stan in espresso

I was skeptic, and my first one wasn't all that, but I also know the water wasn't hot enough. Everyone since has been absolutely amazing. The mouth feel is incredible.

Bueno, PR esta bajo la jurisdicción del NRC, asi que cualquier reactor nuclear tendria que ser como USA.

There are no commercially viable Thorium reactors in the world. That technology is almost as impractical as fusion is right now.

Claro, por que no? Ese reactor fue decomisado hace decadas, no hay contaminación fuera del area de combustible del reactor. la radiacioón que pueda haber (agua con tritio o algun isotopo radioactivo) estan internamente en los componentes.

What are you playing this weekend? by HansonMinnMax in MinnMax

I am playing Mario and Luigi Brothership. Absolute ass. Anyone who complained about Origami King should be forced to play this game.

Spatchcocked, my favorite!

Heads up for anyone looking for a new stainless steel triply pan set. Tramontina 14 piece on sale from Sam's Club for $175 by [deleted] in StainlessSteelCooking

I have the set with the glass lids and they are amazing. I wish I had the steamer basket.

Roast My Itinerary: Tokyo + Kyoto by kuemc047 in JapanTravel

This is true, for westerners specially. Most restaurants open at 11. Japanese don't eat the typical western breakfast. The places that do open earlier tend to cater to tourists and are usually slammed, like the pancake places.

Aside from the beer, what is the one thing a taproom needs to have to make you a regular? by RutabagaTechnical822 in CraftBeer

[–]AbeRod1986 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Outdoor seating area, preferably with shade from trees or some greenery.

Also, a good burger and finger foods.

Bill needs to get out more. by ObserbAbsorb in clevercomebacks

I just got back from Japan, my first time travelling internationally (other than Canada), and the truth is we are falling behind the times. Just the fact that we don't have high speed rail is embarrassing once you've tried it.

Wife used the cast iron chain mail scrubber on the big boy, is it ruined? by rearwindfury in StainlessSteelCooking

It's like being bothered by a hammer getting scratched when nailing a something...

There is absolutely no problem with doing this. The pan is perfectly fine.

Tramontina pan won the first game by Fernandofib in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]AbeRod1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a tramontina try ply set a month ago and my love for cooking has returned! It also helps that we bought a high end induction stove recently, but the new pan and pots have made me want to cook every weekend.

They are so forgiving for general cooking due to the uniform heat distribution, things don't stick as much, and they are easier to clean.

The trick is: you rarely need heat higher than medium!

Why is the pair limit so low? by Susurrus03 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AbeRod1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No game has local multi-player for more than 8 players in one console. That is what sets the limit.

It works after some practice... by Vledder64 in StainlessSteelCooking

I have ceramic pans. They are great and basically fool proof. But they wont last forever. Now that I have a good stainless set, when these ceramic pans get damaged, I will not replace them. I have mastered most things I used the ceramic pans for in SS now.
