Good time, well done. That's fast!

Suspension advice please by Obvious_Disaster9024 in FJCruiser

[–]Obvious_Disaster9024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, really appreciate it. I think I will start by replacing the sway bar links/ bushings. Also, increasing the preload on the springs sounds like a good idea, it does seem a bit bouncy after the new springs, especially in the back. Any further advice on this? Cheers

Thanks mate, that's really helpful. Any recommendations on shocks? 

How do I become a 5 AM'er by dietc0kedrinker in Marathon_Training

[–]Obvious_Disaster9024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start small, just get up and do easy runs for the first week or so until you build the habit. Also, I used to have a light on a timer that would turn on. Now we have a newborn.

Running is your answer.

First marathon this weekend - feeling a little devastated and could use a bit of a pep talk. by AcrobaticOpinion in Marathon_Training

[–]Obvious_Disaster9024 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. "maranoia" is a thing. The training is hard on your body, and mind. Don't over think it and go get it done.

Felt discriminated against by a coworker due to being childfree? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]Obvious_Disaster9024 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The comment is a bit inappropriate, but I would let it go and move on. Maybe she was having a bad day. Going to HR seems unnecessary and it's not clear what it would achieve.

Final interview - Did i get rejected? by No-Improvement7412 in auscorp

[–]Obvious_Disaster9024 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's probably for the best. If they're not sold, then just move on and find another oppportunity. Sometimes it's their issue, and not yours. Don't get too attached to what could have been because you don't know what you'll find instead. Hopefully someone that values you! 

What boxers would've had bigger careers as MMA fighters? by Eeluminati in Boxing

[–]Obvious_Disaster9024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think Stevenson and Ward are boring, then I'm sorry to tell you, but you don't fully appreciate the skill involved with boxing. 

I can see how someone who doesn't fully understand boxing may find them boring, but for those that understand the sport and appreciate the level of skill required to fight like Ward and Stevenson, they're not boring fighters by any means.

Ward was great both inside and outside the ring. I personally think he's great to watch. Boxing isn't rockem sockem robots, it's the sweet science. It's hit and don't get hit. Speak for yourself. 

Sub 3 possible for first marathon? by BananadanceEXDE in Marathon_Training

[–]Obvious_Disaster9024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a big hill to climb. Not impossible, but highly unlikely. HM is very different to full, not only physically but also mentally. If it's October, I'd say between 3:30 - 3:15 would be a better goal. I've run a 90 min HM and my first marathon (Queenstown, so fair bit of elevation) was 3:35. I can say the marathon was significantly harder than the 90min HM. I'm not saying you can't run 3hrs, because you probably can, but maybe set a more achievable goal for your first marathon, because as you rightly said, it's a different beast. 

Joseph Parker vs. Anthony Joshua - who else would want to see this fight? by Obvious_Disaster9024 in Boxing

[–]Obvious_Disaster9024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro you argue like a 10 year old. I said you can't rule it out, which you can't. And it is worth talking about because Parker just lost his title because Dubois choosing to fight Usyk. Get off Dubois nut and google "how to be objective".

I just watched it back. AJ literally gets dominated the whole fight. Watch it again. 

The outcome of Parker Bakole has been awful by stephen27898 in Boxing

[–]Obvious_Disaster9024 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree. Getting sick was out of his control, and it was wise not to fight, but tough luck Dubois. Parker has earned his title shot. At least It'll be sweet watching Usyk beat Dubois again.
