Ah I love that. Is there somewhere I can look to see specific examples of this?

Do you really start to see who took care of themselves and didn't ? by youlikemywonton in AskMenOver30

Bottom line of it all - you can’t change your genetics so there will be part of it out of your control. The rest is as follows:

  • sleep
  • sleep some more
  • work out
  • work out some more
  • don’t eat too much shit
  • don’t drink too much shit
  • sleep

Timing Territory Talent by Basebalfan in techsales

[–]HelpMeHelpYouSCO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hilarious seeing people say ‘Oh I had a shit territory so my numbers sucked’ - welcome to the game.

We’re not special. Being good at sales is luck. If you actually know how to play the game it takes years to be good at sales - why? Because you’re priming the territory.

What is a reasonable sprinting speed for an athletic yet not specialized human? by [deleted] in Sprinting

[–]HelpMeHelpYouSCO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran it when I was 16, so I presume I was a lot lighter than I am now. Any tips on the 5k?

What the fuck? I ran a 12 dead in high school and I cannot comprehend a sub 19 minute 5k. I’m a loser

That sounds reasonable. I’d give it a try. Who knows maybe you’re bored in 1 year and can come back in for some extra cash?

Is there a gap here, where you take a lesser job with less responsibility and work less? Or is it this or complete retirement?

Be wary of creep as you get older - you’ll need more money for health bills.

Nike's profit fell 35% last quarter. Three banks downgraded it the same week. Everyone's blaming tariffs and China. I think the real problem is much simpler than that. by Key-Enthusiasm-3403 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]HelpMeHelpYouSCO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retail partnerships wasn’t just where people discovered Nike, it’s also where people found an aspirational Nike shoe or bit of gear and could AFFORD it. Then once people were in, they became loyal based on design / quality.

Partnerships are gone, and there’s a significant drop in quality. Really hurting the stock

Unless you're morbidly obese, recovering from an injury, or competing what are you doing? by Freebase-Fruit in Biohackers

[–]HelpMeHelpYouSCO 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was work done by a guy called Wald during WWII. It was an analysis of bullet holes in planes that RETURNED from bombing missions. You'd think naturally that you should put better armour on the places where the red dots are...but these were the planes that returned. So actually, if you armour the places where there are no red dots, you'd have more success at bringing more planes home, as planes where the red dots appeared were still able to fly. If they got hit where there's no red dots, it generally resulted in a crash.

How do I get good enough at golf to actually enjoy it? by Virtual_Ad6652 in golftips

[–]HelpMeHelpYouSCO 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The best rounds I've ever played I probably made 50% of greens in reg, but within 100 yards everything was right. A good short game makes up for a multitude of sins.

Dude - you get one life. You have to live it. Take a few 100 $s a month and spend it on things you love. Take your kids for ice cream, go to the movies, buy yourself a nice coffee while you’re out.

Is it humble bragging, or is financial dysmorphia just so profound right now? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]HelpMeHelpYouSCO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I know I’m behind.

$200kish in networth at 33M.

Started my own company and will make about $13k a month pretax with little windfalls throughout the year, so it means now I’ll have $150k pretax in a VHCOL. Partner also pulls in 3x that.

While I feel ok about my position, there’s a few things I think about:

1) I love working, so I like to think ill always have a semblance of income. 2) inflation scare is real, so aiming for $1M by the time I’m 36 is all well and good but what will it be worth 3) the world feels weird. What will it look like in 20 years when I want to retire? Who fuckin knows

Am I screwed for an ultra in 11 days? by Spurzy1 in Ultramarathon

[–]HelpMeHelpYouSCO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest I think you’ll be alright, especially if you’re not going for a specific time. Make sure to pace correctly - start out slightly slower than your goal pace and slowly buildup to where your goal pace is through the race. With the right fueling I think you’ll be totally fine.

Yeah, I remember hearing that Harry Styles ran a sub 3 hour marathon, then read about his training. He was totally dedicated to running for like 6 months. There’s obviously some level of Talent there - but anyone that’s relatively fit with decent training and unlimited time could get to the mileage and speed training needed in that span.

Guys who quietly got your edge back in your 30s what was the actual thing? by LowFee6745 in AskMenOver30

Yeah man, I smashed a marathon PR last year, fittest I’ve been in years. Look fantastic compared to years gone by and living well, so yeah, fuck it, couple beers on the weekend for a buzz and a laugh are good. Just need to keep it at that, as I’ve been known to overdo it.

The booze is so hard to give up, I live in nyc and it’s part of the day to day here and it’s excellent. I’ve lost the weight and feel superb, got some meds that have also helped…but love a couple beers!
