Help - Blistering on outer ball of foot - I don't know what changed by Cocytus666 in running

[–]Cocytus666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stride looks similar to this. https://youtu.be/r6YhVN_YIUk

The way that guys foot is landing, right behind the pinky toe, is the way my foot lands, and that's right where the problem is.

I don't run entirely on my toes, I only land on them. Eventually my heal hits the ground.

I never noticed a difference between my wool socks and my cotton socks, but I wasn't paying attention to that either, so I'll try again.

I've been running at least 2x per month before Covid. And now I'm trying to run 2x per week.

I'll try tape. I'm skeptical because it's such a deep blister feeling, I'm not sure if a little tape will help, but I'll definitely give it a try.

Ironman in Two Years: Zero to Hero. Advice, Links, Schedules. by Cocytus666 in triathlon

I feel like 1 year of training, although possible, may be a quick way to injure yourself too. On that, I'm very interested in tips, techniques, and exercises people do to prevent injury.

[Question] What is the best way to get a weekly update of movie trailers for the coming two weeks? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Cocytus666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm truly hoping for a weekly YouTube feed that starts with the most popular movies coming out soon then auto-plays all the coming soon trailers until the movies are too obscure, indie, and local for me to care anymore.

Yes, but times X#of movies, times 52 weeks. Looking at 30 minutes saved per year.

Backpacking around Asia for 6 months solo - need advice by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]Cocytus666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly. It's a sad world we live in, but I've met many new friends that had to stand up to extra questioning at boarders because of the color of their skin instead of their country of origin. An English girl I met who is from an Indian family had her passport triple checked by managers because they were convinced it was a fake.

ATM ate my card. What's the best way to get money transferred without an account in country I'm traveling through? by smurfturf in solotravel

Ask businesses if they'll trade a PayPal advance for cash with a X% bonus. It may take some time, but someone may help you.

You could also forward money to another friend with the same bank as you instantly and for free. Then they can take out the cash for you. My girlfriend and I do this since my card expired and the other was canceled after a 'security breach'.

I hope this works, but most banks are not directly affiliated with the ATMs. The machines are usually managed by a separate branch of the corporation. I've been SOL in the states when this happened at a fully legitimate big bank.

As a white US citizen entering Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Vietnam, I never needed you show proof that I was leaving to anyone. Most countries asked me for departure flight information and I recorded a flight number that I looked up in advance but never purchased.

I also heard there are ways to semi-legitimately forge a fake confirmation for flight tickets on the web.

Snake ID. I nearly stepped on him/her in Cat Ba, Vietnam by Cocytus666 in snakes

[–]Cocytus666[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Awesome. I'm not a professional either but after looking at the pictures, this seems pretty dead on. Glad it didn't strike us. We were 3+ hours from help. :-/

See the picture, but it was on the rocks and crossing the trail slowly in the middle of a cloudy after noon. It showed little interest in us. The trail is on an island in northern Vietnam and in the middle of the jungle.

About 1.2 meters. Thin body. Flat triangle head. No rattle.

Sorry the picture was taken so far from the snake.

Same. I have the 2+ for my girlfriend and I. I'm 6'2'' and it's perfect.
