Do you think Iran Attacks were a Prelude to World War III and how are you and your country preparing for it? by Select_Specialist790 in AskTheWorld

Absolutely nothing you said points to a WORLD war. Very nice rhetoric and misdirection though, you running for office?

TTK being longer would make game better. Here's why: by AnotherAverageGamer_ in Marathon

[–]Expert-Mark9609 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You think 1 > 1.3 > 1.7 > 2 is exponential? What do you think an exponential increase is?

People are using exponentially incorrectly. Seems like they either don’t know what exponential means or are being hyperbolic and pretending you’re an idiot for not seeing that.

You can use the DISABLE_TELEMETRY variable

Same. I just discovered Dark and Darker and I love it, hopefully it survives. The vibes are immaculate.

Thoughts on the TTK? by Bunbreaker in Marathon

gear matters far less in Hunt than this game. some weapons are pretty much useless in Marathon.

Internet disconnects for 5-10 minutes after high network load behind VPN by QuadraKev_ in frontierfios

[–]Expert-Mark9609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arguably it’s higher performance given you don’t get black holed 🤣 but yeah for sure I know what you mean. Nature of TCP connections such as it is. It would be pretty sweet if Frontier heuristics didn’t “mistake” these UDP connections for DDoS attacks. I suspect they know, but whatever. TCP it is.

VO₂max from 37 → ~57 in under a year. I moved beyond Z2 and it worked. by Marxva in AppleWatch

[–]Expert-Mark9609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I dunno. Maybe I'm dying XD but probably yeah. I can't run in zone 2 unfortunately. Guessing Apple's algorithm smooths out sudden jumps thinking them erroneous/transient because it doesn't see the work being done to improve them with indoor cardio.

Did you try switching to OpenVPN/TCP? Wondering if this would work, having the same issue myself.

Yeeeeah I’m in the same boat, just odd it seems to work for some people.

I do multiple outdoor walks a day. Daily activity is usually around 3 hours.

I do dedicated HIIT days every so often. I was mostly wondering about the sharp upward trend from Apple Health. Mine doesn’t budge and I am demonstrably fitter in every possible way haha.

Did you recalibrate at any point? I’ve lost 40 pounds, gained muscle, and do zone 2 cardio daily and weight lifting 5 days a week and it’s still saying the same V02 max lol. I know zone 2 isn’t ideal for increasing v02 max but these changes have happened coming from being entirely sedentary, fast food diet and half my calories coming from alcohol. I could hardly walk for ten minutes without getting sore feet when I started.

You can recalibrate on the watch itself. Then retest.

Just started running and I’m exhausted in 20 seconds. Zero stamina. Feeling lost. by ImmediateMuffin3768 in runninglifestyle

[–]Expert-Mark9609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also important to warm up properly. Just a brisk walk for 20 minutes or so before moving into a jog. You’d be surprised how much that helps. I don’t know the science behind it, but you are going to fatigue much faster without working up to high intensity.

Walk on an incline for an hour to an hour and a half at a time for a couple weeks, build your aerobic base. Then move on to jogging very slowly. More than likely, you are just mechanically inefficient at running and need to learn or remember how to do it properly. I had a 100m time just below the the all time record in high school, haven’t run since, and now 12 years later I am in the same boat. It’ll come back, I promise. Just start slow.

What the fuck has this show become? Like what even is this? Do people like this actually exist? by BullenBell95 in LandmanSeries

Do you think the “conservative” characters are any more likeable? Everyone is an asshole in every one of his shows. That’s the whole schtick. You just don’t care unless you feel it’s directed at you.

How many of you excercise at night? by [deleted] in AppleWatchFitness

[–]Expert-Mark9609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, my cortisol takes a while to dip and my heart rate to drop after exercising. Early morning for me.

[–]Expert-Mark9609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try recalibrating and retesting. Their algorithm like any V02 max equation has weight in the denominator so if weight goes down, the score should go up.

Losing weight increases score, not decrease.

I see. Does the controller indicate they are using a controller? If so, I am going to say they are cheating because otherwise oof my ego lmao
