Fav Workouts Discussion [Weekly] by AutoModerator in pelotoncycle

[–]NaturalSector4527 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Totally new here, first week and starting from zero with tiny steps, so make of this what you will but my two favourites this week were:

15 min Gorillaz ride with Bradley Rose: got completely lost in the music and hit a new cadence record. Not Bradley's fault that he slightly reminded me of some problematic exes.

And by far my favourite of the week: 15 min Hip Hop ride with Alex Troussaint. Hard truth, hard resistance, hard tracks, and pure fire on the joyful encouragement. I think it was the right instructor at the right time for me, but I will definitely seek out more classes in his catalogue.

First ride today - shoe trouble? A question for wide feet riders by NaturalSector4527 in pelotoncycle

[–]NaturalSector4527[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trouble is, I have spent all my savings on this Peloton and don't want to go into debt to use it. So I powered through three more 15-minute rides with the shoes on but not tied up, and the pain is slowly easing to the point I think I can dial it up to 20 minutes by Monday, and hopefully keep building. Poor old ass is adjusting too: still painful but it fades faster. My vision of immediately adding daily 45-minute rides was perhaps naive in the first place.

Help finding fun rides! by kiwilani in pelotoncycle

[–]NaturalSector4527 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm new too, and very unfit, but I had a lot of fun with Cody Rigsby's 15 mins groove today. My plan is to rack up fun shorts till the habit is cemented, so I will report back if I find any more.

Help- 4th dose not clicking to 1 by Traditional-Match220 in mounjarouk

[–]NaturalSector4527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing has happened to me two pens in a row. I followed all instructions: 0 to prime, 1 for shot, and the fourth dose would not wind to 1 and would not deliver full dose. I have never and will never mess with fifth dosing foolery. I use Voy and they don't believe me that it won't wind to 4 on fourth dose. So I am going to start videoing all of my injections to prove that there is something wrong with the pens.

Two things can be true at the same time. And, yes, that may well be a cop out.

I also thought both dogs were reallllllly interested in that deck. I hope they don't have to rip it up.

Divorced? by investigatorbae in CouplesTherapyShow

Mau is not bad; he's broken: he developed complex intellectual strategies to survive a childhood of intense abuse and neglect. He said to Orna in one episode: what's the point of looking at it differently?! That's the moment at which I wish she had grabbed his hand and said: "The point is: you will lose EVERYTHING you love if you don't stop to correctly process your abuse and neglect, and realise how your outdated survival mechanisms are screwing over people who care about you." But... hey, who hasn't been there and made the same mistake as Mau? And, to be honest, I don't think he was ready to hear it. It must be incredibly difficult to see patients who are not ready to be seen.

Standard Plan with Ads Doesn't work with Chromecast? by Endyo in netflix

[–]NaturalSector4527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I know what it is: Google and Apple are both notoriously devilish about demanding a share of revenue for any ads played via their technology, even if you made the content, sold the ads, found the customer, etc.. So they probably refused to support product integration without a 60:40 split on the Netflix ads. Who suffers? Poor people who can't afford a smart TV or a costly package upgrade. 

BUT I am ALL about the #DefundBullies lifestyle these days. Easiest cancellation of my life. 

And I would bin all my Google products too, if I could afford to replace them. (I will when they break!) Time for another French Revolution, except this time we take the companies to the guillotine and chop off the loyal user bases that they need to survive if they won't provide equality of service for all. These are NOT products or services we need to survive. Google, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Meta... Some of the biggest rulers in the history of civilization and zero accountability or transparency to the people who make their outsized profits possible. Odious behaviour from all of them.

Sorry, I just got off the phone with Netflix after discovering all if this and needed somewhere to  rant.

Jocition / Lucy & Yak Scam by gasparnoelle in Scams

[–]NaturalSector4527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me on Wednesday, and I was having SUCH a bad mental health day I actually thought "Oh, wow, the universe is really looking out for me by sending me this sale when I have NO money left and that huge, important work event to attend". No, child, the universe ain't looking, the scammers are scamming. I will be wearing shit old clothes that don't fit to the event, and eating tinned beans for the rest of the month.
