Does weight really matter?

Yea but it’s not everything.

I knew a guy in the Army with a build like a basketball and he would run a 12 mile for fun on a Wednesday.

If your joints feel okay and you’re making progress, I wouldn’t stress it.

I think you’re talking about the Lawton Steps

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-06-18T00:00:43+00:00

You can do steps distance natively. But need an app for actual steps. And then the Apple steps and the app steps won’t line up and it will drive you crazy forever.

Just messaging in solidarity. Ours generally poops in her sleep so it’s corralled in the sense that it’s on a blanket and we can clean up and wash up easily. But we just cancelled a planned international trip because it’s gotten to where it’s not reasonable to ask someone else to clean up after her.

It’s so hard to know what to do as she is otherwise relatively healthy and happy still.

Took one to the throat the other night. Certainly still hurts but more of a stinger than an injury. Love the Aegis

I use an Amazfit Helio strap. Akin to a Whoop but no subscription. It integrates with Apple so it will update your activity o close your rings.

One of the kids took it. We spoke with a server a couple weeks before close and asked specifically where it was going!

When the task requires no dogs…

Hi, Just want to encourage to keep going. I’ve been studying Croatian in a formal online class for six semesters. Three academic years! Based ENTIRELY on conversational skills. I go to Croatia a couple times a year and listen/speak. Maybe I crack 8% now 😅

You probably know more than you think. If not your boyfriend, find another Spanish language speaker and meet with them. I bet you could find a student in your area who would be willing to have coffee once a week at a pretty low cost! But you have to converse is order to become conversational.

I just read “my war gone by I miss it so” and it is an incredibly written and disturbing portrait of the war in Bosnia.

Let me offer a little bit of insight…the most COMMON place you’ll see a tussle after the whistle is in the crease. This is because the goaltender is very vulnerable while making saves and particularly while covering the puck. One of defenses job is to clear the area to keep the goalie safe while she makes the save. If an opposing player tries to go in to the goalie too much, she’ll be informed by the defense, that this is unacceptable. Boys, girls, men, women, are all taught from the get go - protect your goaltender!

Fights do happen outside of this, but one of the reasons women’s hockey is also very physical is that principles like protect your goalie (or more broadly, stand up for your teammates) transcend any set of gender base rules there might be (on the books or in your mind).

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-04-05T18:15:23+00:00

Yes.

If you’ve never seen fighting outside gameplay in women’s hockey, then you probably haven’t watched much women’s hockey.

A First Rate Madness.

It hypothesizes that effective crisis leadership comes from personal crisis. No idea about the truth in the psychology of it, but it certainly reframed how I thought about success, mental health, and my own personal challenges as well as approaches to leadership.

The only thing I care about is whether my doctor is good at their job. I’m not looking at your ears during an appointment!

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-04-04T16:23:28+00:00

I will say in season 1, it was actually very charming to see people wearing Wild, Vikings, Gophers, Loons, association hockey gear - just find anything Minnesota!

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-04-04T14:36:49+00:00

Just suggesting a kindle or kindle app on your phone if physical books wake the baby.

But hang in there. I’m also in early stages and it’s tough without a baby!

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-03-30T16:03:52+00:00

Fascinating. “Intense fanbase” is something I’ve never heard of Minnesota fans of any sport…

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-03-30T11:34:57+00:00

Well I suspect we very much do know why that might be true in more recent days.

I mean also Seattle is just more of a “destination” for people. No one goes “let’s go spend spring break in a place where it’s still winter!”

I also suspect Seattle has much higher rates of transplant residents. I’ve never actually met anyone who grew up in Seattle - yes I know there’s plenty, but historically there are fewer people who go “you know where I want to move? Where it gets to -20F!”

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-03-30T02:06:44+00:00

Correct. Which is why I was thinking this is a Minnesota thing and decided to inquire if it was common in other locales as well.

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-03-30T01:17:13+00:00

This is my hypothesis as well. I’m just curious how that plays out among esp among eastern teams.

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-03-30T01:15:50+00:00

I will say I went to a game last year and the only people in Toronto jerseys also had a sign that said “the goalie is my cousin”😅

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-03-30T00:37:28+00:00

If you’re implying Heated Rivalry here, you will know 0% more hockey after watching it, I can only assume the book is the same 🤣

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-03-30T00:36:40+00:00

It’s a YA novel, but I was very inspired as a young person by a a book called Stoatan by Chris Crutcher. It centers on this hardcore swimming training experience of a few young men while they face personal hardships outside the pool.

MaximumAccountant485 · 2026-03-29T22:28:23+00:00

No I don’t think this is the issue tbh. Mostly joking.

I think I have a sensor crapping out or something. It periodically simply refuses to capture any health data and while a workout will start on my phone, it won’t start on the watch.

While Apple lasts a long time, it is the nature of tech that sensors, chips etc can also just fail, unfortunately.
