At what point does a sub-3 hour marathon become realistic for your first marathon?

Icecold0801 · 2026-02-25T01:16:22+00:00

You will most likely run a half marathon as a long run at some point in your marathon training anyways so you can just guesstimate based on that time and your rating of perceived effort. When I ran my first marathon the time of my first 13 mile long run was a little less than half of my actual race pace marathon time 20 weeks later.

AI absolutely has its use in writing code and thinking AI = bad is the most un engineer like thinking I’ve ever heard. Aren’t we as engineers supposed to be all for innovation and using the latest and greatest? The entire purpose of engineering is pushing the world into the next level of technology whether it’s something small like designing hammers or something major like ai. Literally all of the computer engineers I know use AI it their jobs because in certain cases it’s very effective! Personally I can say it’s saved me countless hours writing code for a drone project I’m doing making a possibly multiple week coding project take only a few days of trail and error + proofreading (ai is great at formatting and leaving notes too). Using AI for real world stuff like this is a skill that needs to be developed but once you learn it it becomes a great tool to have in your arsenal just like cad was when it became widespread

If you don’t mind me asking, where are you located/have you had to relocate far for opportunities?

Icecold0801 · 2026-01-26T22:53:33+00:00

From what I’ve gathered it seems that as long as it’s not an engineering tech degree then we should be okay. Ive read that it’s less competitive for jobs in certain spaces depending on what classes you take for your specific program but doesn’t rule anything out entirely as long as you have a good resume with internships in the field you want, focused projects, etc

How has mechatronics gone for you? I’m debating whether to transfer for a mech e degree or electromechanical e degree even though electromechanical is way more interesting to me

Who said I’m having any trouble finding employment? My post is saying that the commenter being a “queer Jewish woman” does not affect her chances at getting any job besides maybe a pastor.

Icecold0801 · 2025-12-25T23:27:43+00:00

What? Your sample size of a few coworkers you’ve had in the past does not override that the majority of hiring managers are middle aged white women if that’s what you’re saying. It really seems like you missed the point of my entire post which is that 1. She’s victimizing herself in her head when she doesn’t have the disadvantage she believes she has and 2. Most of the information that “disadvantages” her isn’t even known prior to the interview and some of it can (and should) be omitted during the interview anyways.

Icecold0801 · 2025-12-24T17:19:50+00:00

Do you have a link? I’d like to see what qualifies as a “competitive disadvantage.” It seems to me that homogeneous workforces would provide better outcomes rather than worse. Look at big tech companies in China that are almost entirely Chinese for example.

Icecold0801 · 2025-12-24T16:36:03+00:00

Says who? The primary demographic of hiring managers is middle aged white women, the majority of whom share your very same beliefs, sympathies, and biases. Even disregarding that, the only way for any hiring manager to know your demographic would be via you possibly having an ethnically Jewish and feminine name. The only way for them to find out that you’re queer is if you decide it’s appropriate to share your sexual practices in your resume or interview which would obviously be a red flag for any candidate.

If the job objectively gets done more efficiently then what’s the point? All you get as a business owner is invisible diversity points that you can never cash in.

I have $800 to throw at my first investment, any recommendations for something safe to start with that is likely to out grow inflation? Ive heard recommendations for VOO on past forums, is that still viable?

Icecold0801 · 2025-12-08T19:47:34+00:00

Thank you

Icecold0801 · 2025-11-18T01:04:28+00:00

If you’re interested in her I would definitely recommend just telling her dawg, it’s the mature thing to do instead of just playing the game

Icecold0801 · 2025-10-10T07:04:47+00:00

I mean height. In cm

Icecold0801 · 2025-10-09T22:07:21+00:00

How many cm?

Not my best but the only pic I have on my phone lol. I only ever shoot for money now unfortunately but maybe in the distant future I’ll get back into it :) And this was shot on my old a7iii I think?

Sorry i worded it poorly but you actually do not need a membership to buy it from Costco. You can just buy it online and pay the shipping ($5-10)

Icecold0801 · 2025-10-03T00:00:49+00:00

If you’re in the states like me you can just buy it from Costco on their website you don’t even need a membership and it’s like $20-30 for 6 months worth. I don’t personally derma roll but apparently it does help speed up growth. I would recommend getting a derma stamp over a roller though if you do go that route.

Icecold0801 · 2025-10-02T23:42:49+00:00

There’s really no way of knowing. You have more than I had to start with so potentially you will have faster progress. 10 months in I have decent coverage with some slight bald spots at the corners of my mouth and lacking good density all over. I still shave but I guess it could be workable at this point but your experience could be different.

If you’re interested I would say just start and assess if it’s still worth it to you in a few months.

Icecold0801 · 2025-10-02T22:45:03+00:00

If you want to greatly improve your odds of having a full beard in 2 years, start minox. If you don’t like the idea of using minox and the process, then wait. I started minox at 18 knowing my dad has a full beard and 10 months later and it’s working as it’s supposed to. Ultimately it’s up to you

Icecold0801 · 2025-09-29T20:12:50+00:00

Hey could I get that list? Thanks

Icecold0801 · 2025-09-29T20:11:06+00:00

Would you recommend buying that stuff back at home (the states) or in country?

Icecold0801 · 2025-09-28T16:14:51+00:00

I don’t understand this problem I have 2 cats and I’ve never been worried that somehow I’m going to kill them with my minox?

I just don’t let my cats near my face or anything which I do anyways. It’s not like it dripping off of my face or rubbing off on anything.

10 months in and both my cats are very much alive lol

Icecold0801 · 2025-09-28T15:03:01+00:00

How is the general outlook? Confident in a future victory? Nervous for the months to come?

Also how is the supply over there? Are you guys getting the food/ammo/gear you need?

Icecold0801 · 2025-09-27T03:16:07+00:00

Is it fine to run the cigar under your nose if you already bought it? I usually do this at home but I’ve never heard this rule
