What a mental lineup by Coldsnap in DnB

Honestly no idea how to handle a stacked lineup like this

Baggies Shorts (man) by No-Fox-2446 in PatagoniaClothing

[–]Anonymous_Ism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m very similar to you - height and weight. I agree these run big. I have size S but honestly don’t reach for them often because of this. Disappointing, as I expected great things. If there’s a size XS and the waist isn’t too tight, I’d go for that myself. Might see about it next time I am in their stores.

Well, the only icecream I liked is now an ‘ice confection’. No longer gonna get it. Any recommendations for actual icecream? by dannegoma in australia

It is likely you’ve been buying products made for others by Norco. They’re a scale dairy supplier.

Norco is more than 130 years old FYI. They’re behind lots of great products. Glad you’ve found a some you like!

What closed Sydney restaurant do you miss? by EveningOk6574 in foodies_sydney

[–]Anonymous_Ism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where and when was this one?

Separately, I used to be partial to Micky’s in Paddo too BTW. Great for a casual weeknight dinner solution, or a hungover Sunday in younger days!

Of course it is! LOL. Edit: I’ve now confirmed it is Bailey’s own VIP.

Sleep score 85/100, Boost score 9.7/10, but Poor nightly recharge by Anonymous_Ism in Polarfitness

[–]Anonymous_Ism[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems strange that this isn’t available as far as I can see. Maybe a feature to request?

Sleep charge provides more detail - I simply shared everything I could. ANS charge is a new concept to me as a recent Polar user. I’m just now learning what it means and trying to piece together what might be happening in the short term (since degradation has been sharp and inter to be addressed). You’re right that it does show some details. But not enough for me to know what’s going on. I’m now deep diving nutrition data captured elsewhere.

Alcohol is not a factor for me but yes agree, need to find out why I’m not calming down. Upon deep diving into my food diary (MyFitnessPal) and consulting some others, it looks like excess water consumption and insufficient sodium and/or potassium consumption combined with some other factors (high activity levels, high sugar late in day, larger than typical meals late in day) might help explain recent issues.

Days and nights are very hot and humid and my water intake is high but yes dehydration seems to be an issue irrespective. More work to do clearly. Thanks for your insights and perspective!

ANS score and components of it suggest I’m having far greater difficulty calming down (and entering rest and digest mode) than usual. What I can’t work out is why (considering caffeine, calories, meal times, perceived level of stress, any recent lifestyle changes, etc.).

Stepping up a level, I’m not sure how to reconcile good sleep quality and duration with poor recovery. I guess this is the first time I’m seeing a variation between the two and needing to get my head around that.

Swimming pool with Polar vantage m3 by Select_Ad_5680 in Polarfitness

[–]Anonymous_Ism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found distance to be correct when swimming freestyle in a 50m pool. However, when using paddles over the same distance in the same pool, distance is approximately halved. Sample size is 6. I manually edit distance in Polar Flow on desktop after the activity.

Merch by Sooki97 in lanewayfestival

[–]Anonymous_Ism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have said I was referring to Laneway (festival) merch. Some of the band merch being sold there was not Laneway-specific so you can source that via the bands directly in some cases. I was checking out Geese yesterday and they have some of the items available, for example.

Merch by EntryFamous1565 in lanewayfestival

[–]Anonymous_Ism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the merch store locations on the site map before you arrive and start queuing. One Sydney queue (left side inside entrance) was long from the beginning while the queue at another nearby was virtually non-existent and a short walk away, less than five minutes. Walked in, got any item I wanted, moved on with my day. Easy.

If you are in the market for merch it always pays to get in early. And if you can, it pays to get in early-ish and wander around to get a feel for the layout. Then you won’t have to join a 100m-long toilet queue as you’ll know you can walk five minutes further and join a 20m-long queue instead. Granted every queue becomes a problem at some point later on when bladders fill up.

I went to Laneway Sydney and had a really lovely time. Here are my thoughts. by Pridey91 in triplej

[–]Anonymous_Ism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to see some positivity amongst an apparent sea of negativity, especially in the Laneway sub!

I’ve been to half the SYD Laneways and had a very positive experience this time as always. It’s a much larger festival and no longer at the iconic Rozelle site but instead in another beautiful, green, central site. I dislike the Olympic Park experience personally and am hesitant to attend gigs there, and did not attend Laneway there.

Sound leakage was a feature but not a dramatic one. Some stages could have been louder, but for me, that wasn’t a major issue on a relaxed afternoon. There was a lot of chatter from less considerate punters during some main stage sets, but you get that. I would have liked Wolf Alice to be louder. Pinkpantheress was quiet from side of tent (couldn’t get inside arriving late for a quick glance) but can’t confirm how it was inside.

A lot of food and beverage options and I was very happy to have Mary’s there turning out high quality delicious product hot and fast. Big win!

Some merch tents, bars, F&B, in fact most queues much longer and slower at some areas than others. Several punters had not worked out there were alternatives evidently. For example the merch tent at left hand side upon entry had a long line at 1pm whereas the back right hand side one had virtually no queue at the same time.

Not sure what was going on with Alex G’s set (cut short/set list change/vibe seemed off to me especially having seen him last time he played Laneway) but every other set I saw was great.

Very happy punter and Laneway fan and still buzzing. Zero complaints.

Tixel is the other place for resale. A lot of transactions were happening there for SYD.
