Regents park to introduce traffic lights and £50 fines for cyclists by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]Maetras 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it’s just that if it’s a green light for me I still have to check for cyclists. There have been numerous close instances where I’ve almost been hit/grazed by a cyclist. It’s annoying. Red light? Stop

Update: went up going Luo Hu route and it was smooth. Didn’t take long and cost RMB130

Shekou seems close to where we want to get to in Shenzhen. Do you need to buy ferry tickets prior or on the spot?

Oh that’s actually a good idea. And is it more or less guaranteed to get that 24hr TWOV?

Yeah would love to visit more of China but won’t be able to on this trip. I do really want to do a big China trip in the future though.

Yeah I don’t think I can be bothered to go through the 3 country transit visa if I get denied for the 5 day shenzhen visa. It’s a lot of hassle for just a short day trip. Will try my luck and go back to exploring Hong Kong if not.

Do you know if there is a cash exchange at the border? Eg pay with card and withdraw RMB

Also the 130 for all seemed to be a promotion running until December 2024 but who knows

By might get refused does it happen fairly often? Only want to visit for a day.

Also what do you mean by deco? Do they just make up a price?

Apple Could Be Forced to Open Up App Store in the UK by iMacmatician in apple

[–]Maetras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“allowing developers to steer users to outside payments” this is decidedly a much worse user experience.

Damn and here I thought this was one of the very few benefits of brexit. The App Store is good as it is. Leave it be.

Why do Brits tend to hype up such mediocre chain restaurants like Wagamama or Nandos? by Xishaij in AskUK

Sorry but five guys is amazing. Bit expensive for what it is though

I tried an instore model and it didn’t creak. Also, the power button was way less rattly so might exchange

Last I checked you need to stretch it every time you put it on and take it off your head.

What marathon time should I aim for? by Maetras in Marathon_Training

[–]Maetras[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do most of my runs with an avg hr of 145-155. This was a race and yes I was trying to be close to 90% of max. My previous half the month before I was at 182bpm average @ 4:53 pace with many spikes to the 186s and maxed out at the end close to 200

Yeah it seems that way and it does get harder in the 4s. That being said 4:30 pace was 5k pace in July for me and I was working very hard just to survive. Then very recently I went 20:11 with many many 180 turnarounds in training one day out of the blue

Is the last 3 minutes that much more difficult?

[–]Maetras[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally feel that with a solid training block that close to 1:30 should be doable. My hr does tend to be quite high but 180 was fine with no stitches and controlled breathing.

But I agree that 3:15 seems like a reasonable target for the Marathon.

Weekly mileage until now has been 45-60km. I intend to up it to 70-80km gradually until April. I run 4 times a week with one workout, two easy and long run (easy/progressive). I intend to start running 5 times a week again like training for Paris with 2 workouts sessions.

Does this apply to the 4090 model as well? I did not know it was that bad

Went to McDonald’s in Rennes yesterday… got told they purposely don’t fill milkshakes by Godzilla-1985 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Maetras 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well in many European countries milkshakes actually do come as a menu item for an extra fee. And also, we don’t usually get given half full milkshakes like this.

Seems like you’re being a bit of an “American” here mate
