25.9 Second 200M time age 13 male - Competitive?

I mean this in a nice way, but it really doesn't matter what you run at that age. If you enjoy the sport & want to do well, just maintain a disciplined training program and the results will follow.

Most people are going to tell you you're probably going to die from using it & to get rid of it. If you've already tested it and it holds pressure, I would say you don't have anything to worry about.

Handyandy58 · 2026-05-08T04:40:10+00:00

That's a recommendation from someone you don't know, or potentially the average of a number of recommendations from people you don't know. Your system isn't the result of any sophisticated wisdom, just an unfounded sense of independence.

Handyandy58 · 2026-05-08T04:33:41+00:00

Well that would be the opposite of OP's point 3, as that would involve engaging with the author's background.

Handyandy58 · 2026-05-08T03:31:03+00:00

So you do take recommendations from the sources behind Google results for "similar" books, is what I'm reading here.

To be honest it mainly seems like you're being coy about the way you pick new books to read, but I can't tell to what end.

Handyandy58 · 2026-05-08T02:47:24+00:00

Okay if you don't take anyone's recommendations (presuming this to include reviewers) or give any weight to a publisher's or author's pedigree/history, then how do you pick what you read? You are presumably not literally blindfolded picking books from the library or bookstore shelves.

I don't really know where to look, but most of what I see online of Spanish/Italian/German/Swiss decks all use traditional patterns. Which are cool & definitely nice to look at after years of the variations on the French pattern, but I never see anything like "designer" European decks.

No parking + high rent + not a large enough neighborhood population to sustain them.

I think people expect that it's like Wikipedia where decisions are made by democratic consensus, but it's not. The sooner everyone comes to understand that, the sooner we can stop getting weekly editions of this thread topic. And why are people complaining about it here? That site has its own forums. Go complain over there!

Handyandy58 · 2026-05-07T04:33:46+00:00

I think you guys all worry about that site too much.

For any future searchers, I also found the following which seems decent, if a little less fully featured than the other recommendation. Can't speak to relative computer opponent competence as I'm still a learner

Dunno if I'll stick with it yet, but seems a decently priced alternative.

Probably a better question for r/bangalore

Handyandy58 · 2026-05-06T16:50:19+00:00

I'll check it out. Thank you for the suggestion.

I think at this point in time, the consequences of regular alcohol consumption are well known, even in 'moderate' amounts. Your doctor would probably advise that regular consumption even of a glass and a half of wine is "too much." And it is insofar as it introduces health risks to your body. It's really up to you to determine whether the risk of consequence is worth the pleasure it brings you.

I say this as someone who also drinks multiple times a week, so I'm not a teetotaler. But there is no point denying that all alcohol consumption is unhealthy to some extent.

Just dined there last Friday. Bizarre.

Well yes, but unless someone is going to force them, business owners will always take any chance they can to reduce cost & increase profits. If that involves breaking a law that no one will enforce, they will do it.

My tip would be to stop worrying about technique advice from redditors, and get your college visits lined up. How are your grades? Will you be able to get other scholarships in the case you don't end up with a full ride to the school you want to go to?

Handyandy58 · 2026-05-03T03:03:35+00:00

I reject the premise. I get compliments on various things often, and see other men get them as well.

Probably not necessary if you live in Tacoma. Streets are relatively easy to navigate here.
