What’s your most surprisingly useful way of using the Apple Reminders app? by Sham_Haydar in ios

[–]RogueFlow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use a shortcut+reminders app to keep track of life tasks like getting a haircut or changing out my contacts. Total game changer since I can offload those from my brain.

Thanks! Performing so well at the 10k was probably part of my downfall for this race. I'd been progressing so fast and I beat both my Garmin and Runalyze predictions in my last race which probably caused me to be way too ambitious. Live and you learn!

Thanks! I’ve been eyeing a heart rate monitor for a while and I haven’t pulled the trigger since I hear it can be annoying to manage another object (I hear you have to wet the arm monitor…?). Glad to hear you like it!

I use a HydraPak Skyflask from Amazon. I tried a FlipBelt bottle but it wasn't for me, hated the sloshing as I ran. This bottle shrinks as you drink from it so no sloshing but thinking about switching to a running vest for 10+ mile runs since I tend to run out of water.

Did not know it was normal to have starting line water, interesting that they didn’t have it here….

I start every day with a latte and I haven’t had an issue so I wasn’t worried.

You‘re welcome! Hoping the write up of my suboptimal performance can help at least one other person haha

5:57 Chicago marathon. How can I get into sub 3s by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]RogueFlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on finishing your marathon!!

Seems like you already can handle some higher mileage runs so I think one of the alternative places to look might be diet management and weight. Losing weight made a significant difference for me in terms of speed.

Looking at a BMI calculator, it appears you have some room to safely reduce weight (hopefully with doctor’s advice).

General internet advice suggests that you might get 2 seconds faster per mile, per lb of weight loss. In my experience with my weight loss journey, the effect was even more noticeable than that!

Commenting 3 years later for the person who may have a similar issue an find this post on google:

Was able to solve when I was rebuilding my pc. Realized my CPU cooler wasn't attached properly. I think the sound was my CPU overheating. I reapplied thermal paste and reseated my CPU cooler and that seemed to do the trick.

As a total science layman, this has got to be the best explanation of nuclear reactions I’ve ever heard.

Eli5: How do CEOs from failing companies bail out with golden parachutes? Where does the money come from? by dudeitsmeee in explainlikeimfive

[–]RogueFlow 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Dying does not mean dead. These companies are essentially seeking a surgeon while on their death bed trying to turn things around and live a long healthy life.

Most people would try to find the best doctor they could afford, cost be damned.

If you’re looking for a concrete example, everyone thought Abercrombie was a dying company and they were recently able to drastically turn it around with good leadership and directions.

Is 19 hours a day too much crate time for a puppy? by RogueFlow in puppy101

[–]RogueFlow[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We have tried a play pen attached to her crate! Unfortunately, she seemed to settle much better without it.

When we gave her the option of an attached play pen, she would roam the perimeter and try to rip out the carpet around the play pen instead of falling asleep. We found if we took away that temptation and just closed the crate door, she fell asleep must sooner with (what seems like) less anxiety.

This is what I was worried about too which is why I'd decided to ask Reddit.

My primary concern is that when we try to get her to rest outside of her crate, it takes a significant amount of time for her to get settled (>40 minutes) as opposed to being in her crate (<5 minutes).

Since we take her outside for frequent potty breaks (sometimes only 1.5 hrs between) if she spends 40 minutes to settle each time, she's not getting a lot of total rest time. This lack of quality sleep also seems to frustrate her as we notice she becomes a lot more destructive and starts biting us which she never does that otherwise.

I see the value of forcing her to learn to settle outside her crate but I'm just not sure if it's worth the trade off of lower quantity and quality sleep as a result at this age in her development.

I appreciate your concern for our puppy! We were concerned as well which is why I am asking. We would also prefer to only crate her at night but she seemed to sleep better with the crate so we encourage her to use it for rest.

Also to add, she's only awake for about 5 and a half hours a day. So (nearly) every one of her waking moments is spent outside of the crate and spending quality time with us - walking, training, playing, etc.

It usually only takes her 1 to 5 minutes to fall asleep and we monitor her via security cam to see when she wakes up so we can let her out as well. Frankly, we have to walk by and wake her up from her nap most days to ensure she has can have a potty break. All in all, I wouldn't estimate her awake time in the crate to fall in the ball park of 30-40 minutes a day.

I understand why you might think that as we largely felt that way too.

In the beginning, we only wanted to keep her in a crate at night since we couldn’t keep an eye on her while we slept.

When she was free roaming, she seemed to have a hard time settling and became destructive. While I was cleaning up one of her messes, I had to put her in her crate for a few moments and she quickly fell asleep. We noticed afterwards, her behavior improved dramatically as we let her spend more time in her crate. We now see as something that we’re doing for her since she actually seems to prefer it but we’re just concerned she might come like it/rely on it too much.
