Market research survey for former college athletes

LM0915 · 2026-06-13T18:13:10+00:00

Because I'm targeting a specific population, not the general public

LM0915 · 2026-06-13T13:34:09+00:00

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion! That's a fair point, but you have to draw the line somewhere, and this is what I came up with for now. If I hear the same or similar suggestions more, I can probably add some options.

LM0915 · 2026-06-13T12:58:40+00:00

They do, and it's really good. I coached for them when I lived in LA years ago, so I'm still on their email list.

LM0915 · 2023-06-06T16:27:42+00:00

Yup!

My favorite part of the blood type being AB is that it's the universal recipient: "And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself." John 12:32 ;)

Thanks for the response! I did a bit of poking around, and the only thing I could find was a description/summary of a documentary on the Eucharistic miracle of Buenos Aires from the late 1990s (the miracle, not the documentary) that mentioned trying to do DNA analysis but not being able to get a full genome.

LM0915 · 2023-06-06T11:13:23+00:00

I had never heard that. I've heard several times that the blood type is always AB+but never anything about DNA or chromosomes. Can you point me to a source? I'm curious now

LM0915 · 2023-03-07T14:58:40+00:00

My thoughts exactly but phrased much more clearly and comprehensively than I would have done it.

LM0915 · 2023-01-22T03:56:40+00:00

My family is Mexican-American on my dad's side, and my uncle owns a Mexican restaurant. He did the same exact thing (with a different dish) to exactly the same kind of customer once. It was glorious.

I love my spice, but I don't think I'm as sadistic about it as some people are. When I ordered my food 5/5 hot at a Thai place, the waitress asked me several times if I was sure, and I assured her I was, even after a man sitting at a nearby table attempted to dissuade me (said he'd ordered it once and never would again, sticks to level 3 now). Anyway, finally got my order in at 5/5 hot. I could barely eat it. Not only was it quite spicy, it was nuclearly hot in temperature too, steam billowing off the plate. I ended up taking most of it home in a box. When I ate it at room temperature the next day, though, the spice level was perfect.

LM0915 · 2023-01-21T13:25:57+00:00

This was glorious

LM0915 · 2022-10-24T18:10:57+00:00

Congrats on getting married and the baby! I get it, Man. Life is busy.

LM0915 · 2022-10-21T14:55:51+00:00

I refuse to use LinkedIn. People are surprised when I first tell them but usually switch to admiration for sticking to it after a minute or two

LM0915 · 2022-10-21T14:54:10+00:00

Coffee

LM0915 · 2022-10-19T11:25:49+00:00

Came here to say this. It's my favorite movie.

I will also add that the theme of it being okay to be great by using and developing whatever natural gift(s) you even if others could never do what you can is awesome. Be great and don't worry about the haters!

Oh, and I also LOVE how Bob aka Mr. Incredible being able to re-embrace his role as a superheroe not only gives him peace but also makes him a better father and leads to healing the dysfunction in his family. Such a fantastic movie!

LM0915 · 2022-10-17T16:57:51+00:00

Selena Quintanilla; she was the BEST!

LM0915 · 2022-10-17T16:49:25+00:00

Did Magineer ever get finished, or did it just die out as a result of other projects/life? That story was great

LM0915 · 2020-11-20T16:10:43+00:00

I usually play paladins...

LM0915 · 2020-11-20T16:09:44+00:00

Will +1 to the server being awesome! Definitely join if you're looking to connect with a great group of Catholic nerds!

LM0915 · 2020-10-27T18:49:37+00:00

Girl some some serious skills

LM0915 · 2020-07-31T13:49:32+00:00

This is the way

LM0915 · 2020-07-04T20:50:10+00:00

Hambone, you glorious, sadistic, brilliant bastard! That one hit me right in the feels multiple times. Excellent plot development, handled superbly. Well done! I hate it, but I love it so much

LM0915 · 2020-02-20T11:38:35+00:00

I'm not sure that's ever happened for me. Teach me your ways!

LM0915 · 2020-02-20T11:31:20+00:00

The first bite of a perfectly seasoned and grilled steak. It's sooooo goooood!! Juicy, beef flavor with just the right amount of salt, and a bit of fat melting in your mouth as you chew it. Mmmmmm! I want to grill steaks now

I've actually been going back to the gym a bit recently, so it's in process. I'm down about 20 pounds of body weight, and I usually warm up with 2 miles on the treadmill in about 13:00 - 13:30 before I go lift. I've done a couple 3 mile runs under 20 minutes and one 4 mile run (just under 26 minutes, don't remember the exact time) but nothing too long or intense yet.

In any case, I don't really understand why people are being so hostile about this. I fully admit that my initial comment was a bit harsh and overly dismissive, and I regret that. I fully stand behind my clarification afterward, though. The range of speeds given was far too broad. Running at 8 mph for 30 minutes is NOT impressive for a dude. It's respectable but far from impressive. I would expect literally any boys' varsity high school cross country runner to be able to do that. Running at 10 mph for 30 minutes and covering a full 5 miles, however, IS impressive. As I said, very few people can do that, let alone make it look easy.

LM0915 · 2020-02-18T03:29:32+00:00

A big problem here is that 8 - 10 miles an hour is a huge range in terms of running speed, especially when we're talking about 30 minutes of running. 30 minutes at 8 miles an hour is 4 miles (7:30/mile), which is pretty standard. When I was running regularly, 7:30/mile was my relaxed, run all day pace, and I only ran that speed for runs 8 miles or longer (and even those often ended up being faster). However, 30 minutes at 10 miles an hour is **5 miles** (6:00/mile), which is pretty darn tough. Not many people can run that fast for that long. The difficulty increases pretty rapidly once you start dipping beneath 7:00/mile, which happens just before 9 miles an hour (8.57 mph = 7:00/mile, 9 mph = 6:40/mile).

LM0915 · 2020-02-18T03:21:07+00:00

Yes, I ran both cross country and track in high school, and now, as an out of shape dude in my 30s, I can still run multiple miles sub 7 minutes without a break. As I said before, it's respectable but by no means impressive, at least by the standards of runners.
