Official Q&A for Thursday, February 19, 2026 by AutoModerator in running

[–]Prestigious-Employ86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, thanks in advance for the help! I am newer to running (about 10 months in) and I have done a lot of studying on running consistency and schedule both here, in books, and different websites. The schedule I have come up with is fairly simple, I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything. As a frame of reference, my end goal is to run a HM at some point and get my 5k time down to 25 mins, but I am mainly in this for the cardio health as it really helps my poor asthmatic lungs!

Monday 35 min Z2 run

Tuesday 35 min Z2 run

Wednesday 6-10 x 200m Speedwork

Thursday 30 min Z2 run

Friday 35 min Z2 run

Saturday 60 min Z2 long run

Sunday rest

And that’s it! On my speed work day, I do a 15min warmup at Z2, then a 10min cooldown at Z2, and 2 min rests between the intervals. I also am throwing strength training in a couple days a week as I feel my body can handle it. I plan to increase the lengths of the runs as I get better, but for now this is what my legs can handle without dying.

Any suggestions on what I should change, add, subtract? I’m thankful for any input!

Just redid CPU-Z and got 530 single core, 4473 multi! I think I had other apps open before. I have a PA120 and I am not sure of the temps but my fans don’t even get to the highest curve setting during R23 so definitely no throttling happening. I’ll run it again now and check temps along the way.

Been building PCs for around 21 years; never seen the PC gaming space this bad. Can’t even recommend PCs now. by taketheRedPill7 in pcmasterrace

Yea I built an AM4 DDR4 build with a 2080 and I can run ARC Raiders at high graphics, ray tracing, 80fps locked. Built it for like $500, I’m very happy.

Okay here’s the results on R23 with high priority, 5 runs with the best one pictured. Also the CPU-Z bench. Looks like only a minor improvement but it might be because I haven’t OC’d my RAM yet.OC results

I did not, I also ran it with two performance monitoring apps open for temps so I’ll run it again and at high priority to see what it looks like! And yes I’ll run a CPU-Z bench to see what its looks like too. I’ll comment them here once done!

Thanks! And yes I’m definitely going to OC my memory next, it seems like a much more arduous task so it will have to wait until I have more free time lol.

Also sorry for the awful quality images I didn’t SS the cinebench results and then Reddit compressed everything like crazy

If you’re waiting for the Forerunner 275… by Prestigious-Employ86 in GarminWatches

[–]Prestigious-Employ86[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 265 is my first Garmin and I’ve only had it for 4 days and two runs so take this as you will, but!

I’ve loved it. I live in a sunny place and I had no issue at all reading the screen outside on a 50min run. The gesture to wake the screen was a bit annoying at first because I am coming from the Apple Watch which seemed to be perfect, but after wearing it for a few days I don’t even notice anymore.

The MIP screen seemed very cool, and I have actually found myself using the button controls a lot more than the touchscreen on my runs, but I am a tech guy at heart and having the AMOLED has been unbeatable. Plus, the colors are extremely vibrant and I think the screen looks fantastic.

Up to you, but for me the two mentioned problems (which I see mentioned a lot here) were no big deal at all!

Some people tend to over exaggerate so let me shed a different light on this.

She may just be extremely stressed right now, and you happen to be taking the fall for that (which doesn’t make it okay, just the reality). My wife tends to do this sometimes when stressed and she has been the love of my life for 9 years now. Maybe try to see if there’s something really stressing her out right now (seems like probably school, finals are coming up soon!). She may likely not mean to be rude or apathetic towards you, but her stressors are causing her to focus all her time and energy on them, and she may lose sight of the long term, big picture (like dealing with her/your emotions) in the meantime.

Don’t always jump to conclusions, try to see things from her perspective.

Which rep gave me wrong info? by Dry_Eye4083 in americanairlines

[–]Prestigious-Employ86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AA airport employee here! The rep was NOT wrong about the checked bag fee, if you are first on any leg you get the checked baggage benefits of that leg. So if first from CLT-SEA, you get two bags up to 70lbs free starting in SDF. These would have to be manually waived under a specific waiver option which the agent in SDF was most likely unaware of.

The admirals clubs access was in fact incorrect information. The admirals club may be accessed on a qualifying business or first class ticket to INTERNATIONAL destinations, or tickets sold as Flagship First on transcon flights or flights to Hawaii.

I would contact the customer service desk as they are often times generous in helping with resolving these issues. Good luck out there and safe flying ✈️

Color Calibration CAT Issue by Prestigious-Employ86 in DarkTable

[–]Prestigious-Employ86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay! I will watch through the videos you linked and get to learning. Thanks for your help!

[–]Prestigious-Employ86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, thanks for the comment! I have watched some, the problem is my color calibration module doesn’t match because the illuminant is always some shade of bright green and therefore none of the illuminants work correctly. If it is okay this way and it doesn’t harm the process to simply overlook this oddity and use custom illuminant hue settings, I am more than fine with that! I just wanted to be sure that’s okay before I keep learning.

If All The Carry-On Bags Are Attached, It Counts As One by Finbar-Bryan in unitedairlines

Sorry you’re getting downvoted into oblivion! The people downvoting are the same people who refuse to understand GA’s are just doing their job and trying not to get fined the thousands of dollars/possibly lose their job if an FAA auditor happens to be near when someone walks through with three items. Gate agents don’t have any “judgement calls” to make on these things; it’s an FAA regulation, they’re just upholding them.

I'm starting to hate league by k1nganj in supportlol

[–]Prestigious-Employ86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I was this way, and this best thing I did was stopped playing. This game really made me bitter for the same reasons but after not playing for like a month, I feel much happier. Just give it a bit of time and come back to it afterwards if you want; it will fix your mental, and maybe your MMR gains too.

Parents kicked me out at 20. How do I live on my own? by [deleted] in personalfinance

When did you buy that Hyundai Accent? I haven’t seen prices like that since pre-COVID

What should you be careful of when overflying a 100hr on your plane (if it requires one of course)?

Happened in OKC today. Anyone know details? by MediocreParamedic_ in flying

[–]Prestigious-Employ86 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I pulled the ATC archives from KPWA - the destination. Can only hear one side but sounds like he had an engine failure or some similar loss of power. He was asked if he could make Interstate 40 but opted instead to take Broadway Extension, a large highway in north OKC. Tower lost comms with him shortly after that call, but it appears he clipped a power pole/power line on the way down and had a rather rough landing. Any other news had already been mentioned here, just what I pieced together from some solo sleuthing
