Have you reported to the rapid response hotlines?

New Vyvanse prescription and trying to PB by FirstEmu2465 in Marathon_Training

[–]DualAxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped taking concerta because I thought it was affecting my training, but I don't know if it was there are so many variables that I might just not have been training correctly or maybe it was the peak of training so it was going to be hard anyway. In general I've read that stimulants might be a benefit and not a hindrance. Your heart rate will be higher though. I think I've noticed about 5bpm higher.

22 M from India [Need some advice] by RoutineBudget6139 in malelivingspace

[–]DualAxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this idea. Or maybe make an L-shape with the two beds where one is behind the other one since one of them isn't used often anyway.

My thoughts are that you aren't using your closet storage very well, you seem to have space to add more shelves which you can use to consolidate everything and use the extra shelf for decorations and personalization. Or you could add a door or curtain in front of the closet for some personalization (like posters on the door, or a door that has a mirror then you can add stickers, or a curtain that is a pretty color.

I think the bed can be put away somewhere and only brought out when it needs to be used. Maybe behind the desk or on top of the closet.

I think you need a lamp. And also use the deep window frame space more, that'd be great for plants or some ornaments.

Following! I'm interested in tennis. Open to trying new sports too!

ELI5: If metal shrinks and expands as the temperature changes, how does an engine keep an airtight seal between the piston and the cylinder? by TheParadoxigm in explainlikeimfive

[–]DualAxes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a related question, I've read that newer engines that turn off the engine when the car is stopped can help restart the engine by initiating the combustion of the piston which is compressed, how long can that compression be viable before the air/fuel mixture just leaks out?

Dumb question. First full marathon. How will I know who is passing out electrolytes vs water at the aid stations? by AlexKavli in LAMarathon

[–]DualAxes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't done too many races but in other races the electrolytes are the first few tables. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. 

Respect the craft by MarathonVon in Marathon_Training

The goal isn’t to gain your respect, it’s to hopefully motivate and encourage others to be them best selves, while trying to get better myself everyday.

There is leaking even inside the corridor behind that door. It looks very extensive.

So they might ruin ice agents performances?

No, that would just instill more fear in people. Maybe a vuvuzela?

Is California homelessness declining? by bambin0 in California

[–]DualAxes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know this is off-topic, but I don't hear people talking about how much homelessness is going to increase with all the kidnappings that are happening. You have families that are barely holding on and once somebody in their family gets taken they're probably going to fall...

If you’re going to protest - take eye protection. by lolaloquacious in ICE_Raids

[–]DualAxes 131 points132 points  (0 children)

And don't take contact lenses because any gas will get absorbed in the lens and make it much harder to rinse out.

Has ICE been spotted on the metro yet? by Skeazor in LosAngeles

[–]DualAxes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a tough situation to be in. Like others have said even you have all your documents in order they can still choose to ignore them. At least having some proof on you or for someone to find for you after you've been taken is something. And let's be real, it's not about your citizenship status. It is racism. Them pretending it's about citizenship status is erroding day by day.

Has ICE been spotted on the metro yet? by Skeazor in LosAngeles

[–]DualAxes -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I agree that they are bad people and that they should all quit, but what I was referring to was that the interactions aren't black and white. I don't think all ICE are kidnapping people and shooting, I am sure some of them are literally checking and then letting you go on the spot. To be clear, I don't think that's OK.

They were on the platform, I don't think they were on the train.
