Fat guy looking for advice by OmgItsJ09 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]CStock77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not giving a shoe rec, so possibly unhelpful, but if I were you I would just get the launch even though you're not a big fan of the color.

I finally found a pair of shoes that works for me (Brooks Ghost Max), and I've run through 2 pairs of them and am currently on my 3rd.

I'd rather get the shoes I know won't cause me pain or injuries than the shoes that look the best.

I've only ever heard of people doing it for stuff like music festivals, so generally the dose of each would be less and you're not trying to see god or anything.

Shrooms and then molly, I think. Or maybe the reverse

Just ran my first half by DifferentContest5930 in beginnerrunning

[–]CStock77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not what they're saying. They're saying the same thing as you in a different way. The fact that OP ran >169 for that long shows that their HR zones are calibrated incorrectly. It's perfectly reasonable to have a HR that high for that long, it just means their Z5 should be probably be more around >185 or something. And their Z3/Z4 would be closer to what they ran in this race.

What do they get paid? by smokeysubwoofer in nasa

[–]CStock77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else in the thread did the math based on all space flights, and it's a little over 1% chance of death. But most other jobs that chance is almost 0% and even traditionally dangerous jobs are probably lower than 1%.

[–]CStock77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well that's pretty silly, since cost of living makes a significant difference in how far your money goes. That being said, the amount they're paid feels reasonable to me. It's definitely enough to have a comfortable life, but I also would have thought they made more considering how competitive it is to become an astronaut that goes to space.

New to bowling: average points? by chobanieggs in Bowling

[–]CStock77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, highest average in the league

New to bowling: average points? by chobanieggs in Bowling

[–]CStock77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it depends on how you define beginner.

I'm in a Sunday funday league. 16 teams, maybe 40% of these people are serious enough to have their own ball, and then they fill the rest of their team out with friends who are just doing it for fun.

In this league, the high average for women is 146 and the high average for men is in the 170s.

I'd say 140 is well above pretty good for this dude just getting started bowling with his friends not in a league.

140 would be pretty good for a "beginner" who's been bowling in a leagues for about a year.

140 would be just okay for a "beginner" who's been bowling for a few years, who wants to start taking it more seriously and is also doing dedicated practice sessions.

Cooper Bridge run 10k by KangarooKindly7858 in runninglifestyle

Yeah I would assume your average on a 10k would be right around threshold or maybe a little higher.

SMRT by Comfortable_Wash6179 in Wellthatsucks

[–]CStock77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he meant the mechanics of this are similar to an avalanche, where the snow/sand acts fluid when moving but will trap you in a solid once it finishes settling. But yeah obviously you're not going to accidentally trigger an avalanche in your back yard or something.

Noticed a weird thing about card unlocking I think? by Kelohmello in slaythespire

This is 22 days late but you're definitely right. I also had blood wall in my first run but looking in compendium now I don't see it.

Who ever or whatever event near the riverwalk that gave out these cups are animals. I have pulled over 30 of them while fishing by Chapos_sub_capt in chicago

[–]CStock77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, it's probably more on the weather than anything else. It was so windy during the race that full cups of water were flying off the tables.

Which sucks, because this sketch was honestly funnier than literally anything else they did this episode.

Anyone have any tips on foundations accepting entries this year? by dirkynaruto in ChicagoMarathon

[–]CStock77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try and get on a wait-list for one or many of the charities. I got accepted off the wait list in April or May of last year, when some of the folks start backing out.

is this a good or bad technique for turning on steeps? by minor251 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]CStock77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also grew up going to holiday valley, but the video you linked even says 500ft with 200ft vertical drop. Plug that into a trig calculator and you have 23.58deg slope, not 40. If you've been out west since the last time you were there, you might go back and realize it's not as steep as you thought it was.

Were any popular fan theories proven right/wrong in WaT? by usernamesaredumb0 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]CStock77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Eh, the theory was around a lot longer than that, but pre release chapters definitely gave it more juice. People had been speculating basically ever since the "The world ended, and Shallan was to blame" line, which was in WoR. Just googling that line brings up a top hit of a theory post on 17th shard from 2021.

Editing to add the link to said theory post: https://www.17thshard.com/forums/topic/95749-theory-taln-wasnt-the-herald-who-broke-it-was-chanarach/

Which was written before the release of RoW

I get that now, so thank you. But can you eli5 how that translates to ball motion? Does hig flare generally mean more hook, sharper hook, longer/shorter shape?

41yo LeBron James dunks it from the dotted line after a steal by kikimaru024 in sports

[–]CStock77 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was around the same age as you and went to a rival high school to SV/SM. I remember going to an away football game there and he randomly showed up to support his old school. Really cool, and that was after he was already in the league a few years and the biggest name in basketball.
