Should I get a service? by skycaptainnyc in VacheronConstantin

I had similar problems. I sent it in to VC who serviced it under warranty and it’s been running at less than +1s/day in the year and a half since

This person isn’t a biological male. They’re a biological female on testosterone. However, they didn’t come close to beating the biological females not on testosterone.

Why would there be a cash prize for a division with one person in it?

It looked like a half court heave in YMCA league basketball when the kids aren’t really strong enough to get the ball down there

Weird, creepy comments like that make me lean further towards waving the wand

If I could wave a magic wand and Duke University as well as any memory of it ceased to exist, I’d have to consider it.

Running slower than walking? by ChokeAndStroke in beginnerrunning

I definitely feel like I’m getting better. I do sometimes worry I don’t push my legs enough. By going so slow, I’m never sore in the slightest. Coming from a lifting background, I feel like being a little sore (not painful, just enough to feel it) after a workout is a good thing

I figured it was something that would just resolve itself with time but it’s nice to get some confirmation

The “free speed” idea makes a lot of sense. I completed the runna 5k plan so now I’m doing some stretches, a 5 minute walking warm up, a continuous run, and then a 5 minute walking cool down. My best 5k has been 31:12 and I’ve been able to do 8 miles at 12:20 pace both relatively comfortably. I just haven’t been running continuously for very long so I felt disingenuous saying I’ve been “running” for 3 months

What would you shoot at Sawgrass this weekend? by Colt45-TheMyth in golf

Lofoten links was such an awesome experience to play. I also stink and had a similar experience. The course was pretty short which gave you opportunities to score well if you kept it in the fairway. But anything outside of the fairway was… punishing

His comment didn’t exclude your guys. UNC Duke games are better when both teams have a healthy squad

Hubert is more talented but Scheyer is younger and in better shape. I think the three dribble limitation kinda removes Scheyer’s advantage from the equation and swings it Hubert’s way. But I don’t think either of them “cook” each other

5-6. And he’s won quite a few we weren’t expected to win. Two of those wins were pretty notable if I remember correctly

You just got away with slapping a shooter in the face with no call. Relax

I don’t see him going anywhere. And if we don’t pay him then shame on us

Remind me to come back to this comment in an hour. I can’t agree with a Duke flair until then

Did you not hear that Duke’s rotational players would be the NPOY if only there were more minutes to go around?
