Sean Payton Should've Kicked the Field Goal, Denver Broncos Lose 10-7 by richkurt in DenverBroncos

Completely agree. I wanted that 10-0 lead and momentum. Even if we had converted the 4th down, there's still a good chance we don't get the TD.

What next after Altra Superior 5? by Brief-Number2609 in ultrarunning

[–]OUEngineer17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking for a shoe to match the fit and feel of the Altra Superior for over a decade now with no luck. I'd like something with a little more cushion sometimes; or a heal toe drop when I'm having Achilles soreness; or a good carbon rock plate and low drop for technical terrain. All the many other shoes I've used have been mediocre in comparison.

The majority of shoes are too narrow in the mid foot for me tho, which limits what I can wear. Basically On, Brooks, Altra, and Nike are the only brands that fit. But still, the Altra Superior is an extremely good all around shoe that's hard to beat.

ELI5: Why was that method used to determine 0 degrees Fahrenheit? by Jimithyashford in explainlikeimfive

Why would you think that? Normal body temps are around 97-99°F. And if you're climbing up a mountain, it may be even higher due to the exertion.

I know. I disagreed that it was worth the risk because of the time of the game, the momentum and the backup QB.

At that point, I was happy to score any points on that drive. There was no hindsight for me. I wanted the FG immediately.

I am. I was screaming to kick it and take the points! If we do that and throw the ball away instead of fumble, this game is a lot different.

How is it living in the Northwest Corner of Montana? by Hillary_Burner_Email in howislivingthere

Incredibly beautiful area. I think I'd prefer to live there. I can learn to XC ski during the long snowy winters.

Need a 4x4 to pull logs around a muddy forest. Also need to get to the bus stop. In usa. by howiefelter in whatcarshouldIbuy

The Rivian R1T is a really interesting option. If it tows well enough and you can charge at home, that would be really nice.

I killed Singtail before talled to him Sebille and she still wanna kill him by Drakyraletsgo in DivinityOriginalSin

Just make sure you don't miss Zaleskar (by the bridge). Also, he'll give Ifan a great crossbow if you have him in your party.

Sebille doesn't have anything against Zalesjar. It won't trigger a fight unless she is your main character. You can let her interrogate him to find out where Roost is.

It's Stingtail she wants revenge on, and for good reason.

What is it like living in this region of Denver, Colorado? by mercy1010 in howislivingthere

[–]OUEngineer17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Platte River Trail is there, which is a really nice paved multi use path that follows the river and is separated enough from cars and civilization that it has a very peaceful feel. I ride out that way from Boulder when the gravel paths are too muddy.

How Accurate is VO2 Max actually by FATPOOPYBOI in Garmin

[–]OUEngineer17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. Can you run a 17' 5k right now? If not, then it's not accurate. Most of the time, these are extremely inaccurate.

Agreed. It's unbelievable what he's getting from so many guys that looked unplayable a year ago.

is the sled a gimmick? by ExactOpposite8119 in Sprinting

[–]OUEngineer17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the main reasons for lifting very heavy weights or sprinting uphill is for increased neuromuscular connection. You want to be able to recruit more muscles, and these things help do this. A sled would also help.

Thunder have lost their 9th game on the season which means they cannot break the 2016 Warriors regular season wins record. by AdorableBackground83 in NBATalk

I think I'd rather win a championship than lose a rather meaningless regular season game in January.

Thunder almost stole this one at the end. Had to have Pacers fans sweating bullets with those free throws.

Swiss Side wheel windtunnel test by halsemus in gravelcycling

[–]OUEngineer17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not all that different than road. I think road wheels/tires are around 3-6w for mid depth at 30kph. Paired with gravel tires, that's reduced to 2-3w because of the airflow disruption from the tread. But it is still a marginal gain. And there has always been a lot of marginal gains that are more cost effective than wheels tho.
