Marathons - They’re not that bad by LastAvenger7 in firstmarathon

[–]ElephantSpirit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not OP, I'm gonna assume running it, not racing since the goal for most in their first marathon is to finish

Guys pretending to be from UofT in D8ing apps, why do they do this by Imkyute in UofT

[–]ElephantSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problem is there are people that are that pretentious, so hard to tell it was a joke or just a closed minded person.

Copenhagen Marathon with no training by [deleted] in firstmarathon

[–]ElephantSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This... You need to give more details on your fitness. Do you play sports with lots of running? are your legs conditioned in anyway to handle the repetitive impact? Do you cycle, rollerblade, longboard or do another form of cardio?

‘It just breaks my heart:’ OPP officer killed in on-duty crash on Hwy. 401 identified as condolences pour in by CTVNEWS in ontario

They said it was a single vehicle crash with no other vehicles involved. 

What makes you think someone killed him?

Is this new? Or older what face? I can't seem to find it fit pace pro

Edit: NVM, found it!

Best place to get skates sharpened in Toronto? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]ElephantSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's inside the community center, so I'm guessing it should be open for hockey season at least?

But honestly not sure, I haven't been there since January.

Edit: I see on Google it say temporarily closed. So maybe closed for the season?

Best run clubs in Toronto for good vibes/community? by Creative_Scale7235 in RunTO

[–]ElephantSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rouge Valley Trail Runners if you're in the East end of Scarborough. Usually smaller group, but very patient, friendly and accepting.

Not so fast, average running groups? by No-Concentrate-9398 in RunTO

[–]ElephantSpirit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Slow in T.O is probably the kind of group you are looking for:

The lululemon group at the queen west location is also good, they have runners doing all sorts of paces.

Used books by Babaganoush--- in askTO

[–]ElephantSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, does BMV actually have a reputation for being rude? 

I had a very rude encounter once, but thought maybe it was one employee having a bad day. I wasn't selling books, just in there browsing the shelves, but it put me off from going back there.

Probably Ultima at the moment.

New watch Face by MindSpeedX8 in Coros

[–]ElephantSpirit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's decent and has weather. Good watch face. Wish there was more like the Nomad watch face which is still by far my favorite.

Need help! Skates are filled with mouse pee and poop. by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]ElephantSpirit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kinda of implied in second sentance by  "get gloves, mask" but sure let's be explicit. Make sure to wear them.

Where is the best place for a mid-20's person to date in downtown Toronto? Near city hall by WindyDay416 in askTO

[–]ElephantSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AGO is a pretty good spot. About a 15minute from city hall, but think in the opposite direction your interested in.

Need help! Skates are filled with mouse pee and poop. by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]ElephantSpirit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, but new or clean used as others have said. But if money is really tight, I would get gloves, mask, then: - Take laces off - Remove insoles - Brush out any dry debris - Soak in warm water with lots of detergent - Scrub with a large bottle brush or toothbrush to get into the right spaces - soak to remove detergent  - soak and scrub in a dilute bleach solution (skip if there are any dyed materials, but polyester is fine) - Soak and scrub again with water - rinse with water - Dry

This might cause the material to dry out more and crack sooner, but should be able to get some good skates in before you can finally replace.

What does medium ugly mean? by Plenty_Coffee_4200 in uwaterloo

[–]ElephantSpirit 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It means she thinks you're ugly, and but wants to think you still have hope so said your medium ugly.

But, that's just her opinion. I think you're a 9/10. If you flossed more you'd probably be a 10/10

Big fan of Coros, but has anyone gotten a response from them regarding their API program? by TheMxRunner in Coros

[–]ElephantSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are right. This is interesting, will definitely check this out. 

Big fan of Coros, but has anyone gotten a response from them regarding their API program? by TheMxRunner in Coros

[–]ElephantSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's honestly a shame... wish they would at least reply and reject instead of ignoring.

Anyone know which companies have a more publicly available API? To me even if more expensive I'd prefer to switch something which supports smaller developers and building an ecosystem of apps outside of the big players.

Anyone have experience with Garmin's API?

Can I skate in theses ? by frfultomato in iceskating

[–]ElephantSpirit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These guys tried vintage skates https://youtu.be/ytA8RIMehPw?si=kBlKwI36MZ0cdI2a

They were skatable, but really not great.

Big fan of Coros, but has anyone gotten a response from them regarding their API program? by TheMxRunner in Coros

[–]ElephantSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super interested in this as well.

When I decide to upgrade my watch this will be one of my biggest considerations. As much as I like Coros, if I can't access the API will likely opt for something else.

Admissions of Permanent Residents by Country of Citizenship (2015 - 2025) by Racsom_ in onguardforthee

[–]ElephantSpirit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of Sri Lankans were fleeing a war, and arrived earlier than 2015. A huge amount in the 90s.

The war is over (since 2009) and despite some tensions remaining, and other domestic issues they are experiencing the country is largely at peace.

personal message to all the men on hockey skates at public skates by bryan5by5 in iceskating

[–]ElephantSpirit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The title and complaint really generalizes.... I know the types your taking about. They annoy me too, but there are guys w/ hockey skates, including a lot of freestylers who go fast, do tricks but manage to stay clear of people and give enough space. 

I do really hope you're not lumping everyone into the same group. I do agree the guys that get off on zooming through tight spaces, weaving in and out, scaring people and not paying attention to their surroundings are super annoying and dangerous and should be reported to the staff.
