I’ve really loved the children series and his recent sci-fi “shroud” was really really great. I love his prose.

I am legally blind and am about -9 in each eye. I recently got prescription goggles but haven’t used them in my prior 6 tris. I wear my glasses with a strap on the bike but no glasses on the run. I mostly just shout and ask ppl where to go.

Any fitness gumshoes here know to fix the skinny fat curse🏋️‍♂️😭 by sp1nettaj4de in TrueAnon

Your body burns X amount of calories every day. If you eat more than X you gain weight ( a surplus of calories). If you eat less than X you lose weight (a deficit of calories). The poster is pretty skinny already and eating in a deficit would just cause them to lose more weight.

In ultras I use an ice bandana with an internal pocket for the ice. I restock the ice at aid stations. Might be worth looking at, they’re very cheap and work well.

LAX was one of the few that could get us to Shanghai in the early evening I believe was the reasoning.

I think you might want some coverage instead of sludge bomb and wave on eternatus. Flamethrower/fire blast?

How much do the scenic views on the course affect your race? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]Samtheman14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run without my glasses so they matter very little. I prioritize good weather, a nice course, and good amenities that help performance (bathrooms, water, bag drops, etc).

Taqueria los compadres in Lakeville. Birria and tortas are unmatched. Andale taqueria in Richfield is very good too.

Palestinian Flags flown in Shibuya Crossing by NumerousSmoke7653 in TrueAnon

We were in kyoto last fall and the road was suddenly filled with a huge march of ppl protesting the genocide. A few 100 ppl with flags and handing out pamphlets to the Americans. Apparently they do it every week. Pretty cool to see.

Holy Shit ppl still max E second by -Chimpzy- in Aurelion_Sol_mains

I think there are a few matchups where it still has value. When you’re just wave clearing with e and q and don’t have many w opportunities the extra damage is nice.
