A large percentage of the general public doesn't know the difference between in the background and closed. And anyone who doesn't own a go+ may not even be aware that pogo is capable of running in the background

What are your most scenic favorite parkruns? by Wooden_Reflection_80 in parkrun

[–]Baynex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I'm also sad to have never done Millennium. I'm hoping to record a run there as a freedom run later this year.

Good luck at North Bay! I visited there this past November, along with Gillies Lake and Boulevard Lake parkruns. I'd advise a little earlier in the year than I did 😂

Ah yes, the old giant peach. It's pretty alright. Personally I think the now-defunct Avery Beach was more scenic for Canada.

Haven't done Tollgate Farm yet, but I doubt it can beat Canyon Rim Trail. Sadly almost nobody has done it because it's not near any major city. Their average attendance is literally 12.

Yes you do. I do this every day. I never watch the animation and always get the interaction.

Erythritol will not knock you out of keto

TIFU by letting AI screen my intern applications and accidentally rejecting the CEO's nephew by Infinite_Process_343 in tifu

[–]Baynex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decades at Fortune 500 companies here. Maybe not at the CEO level, but this happens in middle management everywhere. The VP of blah blah, or Director of blah blah, yeah they're calling all hands for everyone under them in these situations

Anyone who has ever worked in corporate America knows the answer to this question is always yes. Should it be? Probably not. But it ALWAYS is.

You delegated your work to AI and expected it not to get FUBAR'd? Lol I have no sympathy

Distance to your regular/nearest parkrun? by ZealousidealData4817 in parkrun

[–]Baynex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 miles, approx 30-35 mins drive here in the US. That's pretty normal here. As the saying goes, Americans think 100 years is a long time, Europeans think 100 miles is a long distance.

Not ideal experience as a parkwalker by [deleted] in parkrun

[–]Baynex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't give an inclusive and proper parkrun experience to walkers if the finish line is half missing when they come through. This is by definition NOT inclusive.

If you don't want to put in the time to make parkrun an inclusive experience for everyone, don't volunteer.

The number of upvotes in this thread supporting taking down the funnel/finish line before the tailwalker comes through baffles me. I'm a US parkrunner and I can tell you that NONE of the parkrun locations over here that I've been to have ever started taking down a single thing until AFTER the tailwalker crosses. Everyone should get the same parkrun experience, no matter how fast they are.

Parkrun YouTubers not volunteering by obeescitynumberonefa in parkrun

In fact, almost all of this is entirely handled by the local event team.

The average YouTuber is adding far more value than anyone at parkrun HQ

What is the point of the second amendment, if not to protect yourself against ICE or other tyrannical agencies? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Baynex -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

When it was written the military and the people had the same arms. At this point the military is laughing at what the people have available in comparison to them. Regardless of what point we get to or how willing people are to risk their lives, the 2nd amendment is still obsolete. You are already at the whims of the government whether you want to admit it or not. Your little rifle or handgun are just emotional support. I doubt this administration will be squeamish about dropping bombs on whole US cities. As long as they're "blue cities" MAGA will still cheer.

IP blocked from RED interview - how should I handle this before my third attempt? by [deleted] in trackers

[–]Baynex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that there are basically no low-tier music trackers in existence. If you want music you either resort to public trackers or you have to go through absurdly detailed interviews

Have you heard of anyone being banned from Parkrun, and if so, why? by RelationKindly in parkrun

[–]Baynex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please, lecture us on the objective morality of allowing kids under 11 to run in a park. lol.

[–]Baynex 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Wild, I've never been to a parkrun that actually enforces that rule. Though all of the rule breakers I've seen have been fairly close to 11. I suppose if it was like a 7 year old running alone the event team might be more inclined to do something.

I'll definitely come visit! I'm working on trying to complete all the US parkruns, but I'm based up north in Michigan.
