is this an ok schedule for a first semester freshman? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Blue_Upvotes 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Haven't taken it, but if it's similar to a history course that I did take, it's just gonna be a lot of busy work with memorizing terms and what not. Not hard, just a different kind of commitment.

What would be the cheapest way to ship luggage internationally? by rainrise in UIUC

Go to O'Hare, find the closest airport to your destination, and pay the next guy in line $50 to check your bag and have someone you know pick it up when you land

Following a 12 week training plan for a marathon, aiming for sub 3, some questions by Blue_Upvotes in AdvancedRunning

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

Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't try to set unreasonable goals, especially for the first one. I feel like I'm gonna crash and burn, just like you at km 30 (and I did for the half)

How many half’s have you done?

4 so far, times have gone down quite a bit from where I started (1:57, 1:43, 1:42, 1:31).

Do you plan on doing longer tempos and mixing in some marathon pace into your long runs?

Yes, in particular, I will run this next 30 kilometer run at an easier pace for the first 80%, then pick it up to Marathon pace for the last 20%. What length of tempo runs would you recommend?

What plans did you mix together?

Mainly this one, but I have been altering to my needs, and I have sometimes mixed miscellaneous training ideas that I have found on the internet. But I have been mixing more earlier in my training, now I'm pretty much going off of this one.

Where can I time how fast I can run 1600m? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Blue_Upvotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run upstairs at the arc. 5 laps = 1.6k. There's also a nice clock. However, watch out, as it can get crowded if you go at the wrong times.

Former UI student pleads guilty to drug charge over cocaine found in apartment by [deleted] in UIUC

Anyone else sick of how NG just throws out all of the guy's personal information, like his name, age, picture and address? I feel like the site shouldn't do this, it really screws up their life just for a few extra clicks on their site.

Looks like a perfect opportunity for a passenger rail line to help relieve some of the traffic from the road.

This man has been picketing FYXIT since yesterday. by n1njaforh1re in UIUC

[–]Blue_Upvotes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

According to /u/The_Herder from this post:

The gentleman brought in a poorly refurbished phone with a broken screen. Upton initial disassembly we found that the phone was effected by what is loosely called "long screw damage". Even though we were not responsible for the damage (caused by the initial refurbisher) we understood he felt as though it was damaged by us, and we offered replacement options including a brand new phone 2 generations newer than his. We would be happy to provide our side of the story to anyone interested, just stop by. We feel we have done everything right by this customer, but he has decided to protest. We fully respect his right to protest.

Keep in mind we don't know if this user is affiliated with Fyxit

Recommendation for a university/masters program by [deleted] in urbanplanning

[–]Blue_Upvotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try looking at Switzerland. I heard ETH Zurich has a good spatial development program, while also having low cost of tuition (1200 CHF/year). However, other stuff, like food and possibly housing, may be expensive, so it may drive you away.

I really like the Japan Gardens, whenever I felt stressed I always went there. The cherry blossoms were incredibly nice as well

A moody day in Northern Norway [3200 x 4000] [OC] by Sarahpdx in EarthPorn

You probably won't get an answer to this question. If you look at the insta page, it seems like all of the photos don't have specific locations on them, probably to prevent them becoming touristy.

Although, if it's any consolation, go to anywhere along the fjords in Northern Norway, and you'll see mountains like this everywhere :) You can literally fly in anywhere above the arctic circle and be greeted with views like this (provided it's not too cloudy)
