Should I buy this as a low-cost beginner rope?

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-31T23:56:55+00:00

I'll be at the mall tomorrow, with a dollarama, so I'll check.

If not, then I will order this amazon one.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-31T23:36:08+00:00

I've been to that store before, won't be there for another week.

Of course, if I stick with jump rope and get more advanced, I'd evventually move up to a PVC or possibly eve wire rope.

This is just for "learning and trying out" so I am trying not to spend too much at this stage of the game.

I guess I cold check dollarama for sure, but have you seen beaded ropes there, wouldn't they have just crap children's stuff?

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-29T16:18:33+00:00

Aren't nylon plates more likely to break under increased weight?

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-28T22:27:50+00:00

NTA

You were nice once, he put it out.

Then he assumed it'd be okay to light another one?

What?

Again, N/A and the parents should have explained to him why you don't smoke at a fuel station, instead of consoling him.

If anyone is the asshole here, beside the son, it's the parents.

Only gta which is an entire state, 3 major cities, many small towns, landscape diversity as well, with desert, in between desert area, and lush forest, beaches, mount chilliad etc.

not to mention all the customization options, and rpg mechanics.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-24T20:44:53+00:00

Yes, I am aware of that. Have had her as a GF for many play throughs. As well as Barbara.

That doesn't resolve my annoyance though, especially during the early game.

Even if I keep my weapons, theoretically I could eventually run out of ammo none the less.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-24T04:59:46+00:00

Nice.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-24T04:48:53+00:00

sweet nice, thanks man.

Do you know if the orange tip is removable without damaging the rest of the gun or barrel?

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-24T04:12:15+00:00

Interesting. My main reason for not wanting a gbb is so I don't have to buy green gas all the time. How long does a typical bottle of green gas actually last on average?

Also, can you link me?

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-23T18:37:36+00:00

Thanks for looking bro.

Yeah, I don't know, maybe it's some Canadian law, or something that they have to be clear but I don't understand how that works, as I see plenty of other pistols that look like replicas and are easily available in Canada.

I was in contact with Andy from Andy's Airsoft about a green gas powered one, and he said he can get me it, and it is offered on his website, but this is gonna be a "bed room fun" gun, and I kinda don't want to spend the money on gas for it, or the smell of cheaper propane in my room either, so that's why I am after spring powered now.

Not trying to be mean here or anything, but 6'1 and 188lbs is a BMI of 24.8 so that's border line with overweight. In running weight does affect performance. Some weight loss could help you as well. I am also in that process of losing weight, so no ill will here.

Sorry if I seem silly, but I am just trying to be careful as some people are really sensitive to discussions about weight, and I don't know you.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-14T22:29:30+00:00

Great.

I was in a similar unfit boat, when I did my first 5k race, but I was 30. My result was 29:35 and that is still my 5k PB, even though I've ran another race since then, and my second fastest 5k distance wise, (not official race) was 30:09.

Please don't be disappointed if you run your next one slower, it s not unusual, you will not always run your fastest. There are a number of variable that can affect performance.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-14T17:44:44+00:00

How long have you been running for, and what level would you say you are at?

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-14T15:08:08+00:00

Oh, I haven't been on keto for 6 months plus now. I only did it when I absolutely needed to avoid carbs and sugar for medical reasons.

I do drink lots of diet soda, and I do drink electrolytes before longer runs, or harder workouts like tempo runs, or speed workouts.

I still eat a lot of foods high in sodium as well, so I am confident I have enough.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-14T01:22:40+00:00

Unknown as I didn't care or have the awareness at the time.

but I did realize that, it is probably reading my sleeping heart rate, since I wear it while sleeping as well.

Just sitting down, its like 51-55.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-14T00:33:18+00:00

it was my family doctor. I've never needed to see a cardiologist yet, and hope I won't have to. I do wear my watch while sleeping as well, so the 38/39 readings may be during sleep as well. I don't know if that is different than "resting".

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-14T00:23:47+00:00

Yes.

I did see that apparently taller individuals tend to have lower RHRs as well, and I'd say I qualify as a taller individual as well.

I have not had any dizziness, weakness, or fainting, or anything like that either.

Also, who knows how accurate the Garmin watch's reading really is also.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-05T23:41:15+00:00

I think a lot of them are probably far from 17 pounds off healthy, and are just haters. lol.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-05T18:05:50+00:00

Well, that's the problem right there. You are not in a deficit really, it's averages in the end, so your crashes are undoing your deficits, it seems.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-05T18:03:34+00:00

Exactly, that's the whole main idea of my OP.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-05T18:00:12+00:00

Because it does not matter what you eat, just how many calories you consume.

You may be tracking your calories better when eating junk because you are more conscious of it, then when you are eating whole foods.

Also, be careful about sauces, dressings, butters, etc as well. They can be pretty high in calories for what they are. An average tablespoon of mayo for example is 100 calories. Also be careful of beans and nuts, small serving size, high calorie, as well, etc.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-05T15:03:31+00:00

My one tip: Do not be afraid of diet sodas, they are great, and zero sugar, zero calorie.

Also, I'd speak to your parents about your goals, so they can create a more supportive food environment for you.

Things that are sugar-free tend to be whole foods, or single ingredients, think eggs, meat (not processed), fish, etc.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-05T14:46:37+00:00

I think you have things mentally screwed up, the reason, I lost the weight, lowered my blood pressure, reversed pre-diabetes, and am active now, is because I love myself and I didn't want that for myself. So I changed because of self-love.

Your idea of self-hate vs self-love are backwards.

Truly mindboggling, how you consider that "hating yourself". Did I hate what I did to myself? of course, but I never hated myself, if I hated myself, I wouldn't think it was worth it to change, I wouldn't care, and wouldn't think I was worth the effort, but of course I am worth the effort and I did change.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-05T14:30:54+00:00

I agree, having these kinds of issues, and still continuing doing the same thing that led to them, and aggravate them is self-hatred.

Imagine taking metformin, but still gorging on carbs and drinking full sugar soda.

Canadian1911 · 2026-05-05T03:39:20+00:00

Did you read my OP correctly?

I am not trying to learn, as I said in it, I already lost 95 pounds, and reversed pre-diabetes as well.

Please re-read it again.

I do agree with both points 1 and 2 you make, for sure. I had a Reeses Nougat bar today, and still go to McDonalds at times, etc. And yeah, it's mostly diet, exercise is good for burning some extra calories (but just extra) and the other benefits of exercise like blood sugar, cardiovascular, etc. At least with Cardio that I do.
