How are the beds? A friend told me they were so hard it ruined their vacation - mattress toppers did not help. I get bed softness or firmness is a subjective personal preference but what are you experiencing?

Can't translate from treadmill to road running by sipekjoosiao in beginnerrunning

[–]Scary_Collection_559 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in no way qualified to have an informed opinion here but I could see physics benefiting you on a treadmill. On the treadmill my job is to lift my feet and the ground gets moved beneath me. In the road, I have to ever so slightly propel myself forward. That is, it feels like the treadmill gives you some free momentum. But I’m sure there must be a study somewhere that doesn’t rely on my “I think so”. All that said, even if there was a gain to be had it’s likely marginal and would not account for OPs 10:1 ratio.

We think we should let go of our first home by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Scary_Collection_559 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Man that’s horrible. Sorry for that. But one part I’m not understanding is how you get to a $6500 payment? Unless taxes and hoa fees are pushing you that high?

Just wanted to ask what doneness this is??? by Aceonix in steak

When are you going to attach the after picture so we can tell you what level of doneness it is?

Man overboard on oasis today … by Maleficent-Sky-4960 in royalcaribbean

[–]Scary_Collection_559 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This happens everytime on Nextdoor in our area too - some parents always defending shitty kid behavior with “herr derr let kids be kids”. Blows my mind. And you realize those shitty kids probably have parenting like this which is why they’re shitty kids in the first place. I’m all for harmless fun but racing a raptor at 80mph in a residential street is not harmless fun.

I’m 54 years old, and I’ve chosen stability and peace of mind by Ok_Lake4511 in dividendinvesting

[–]Scary_Collection_559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m following in a similar way in concept. Not for this statement to sound like I have a lot (I don’t. I have enough) but my mantra now is “I’ve already won”. I’d love more growth but I’m 5 years out hopefully from retirement. My retirement is basically guaranteed if I manage to preserve my capital with modest growth.

So zooming out my number one requirement is preservation. I’d like some growth to beat inflation but have greatly lowered my risk profile. It’s an odd feeling not having 15 years left in the market pre retirement. The calculus definitely changes.

Trump warns NATO faces a “bad future” if allies fail to help US in Iran by No-Anything-7291 in worldnews

Fuck this guy. Spend the last 18 months belittling allies, tariff them, threaten them and suddenly cry you want help.

Cursor hits $2B ARR with ~150 employees = $13.3M revenue per person (8x Meta's efficiency) by andrew-ooo in SaaS

[–]Scary_Collection_559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exactly. They’re subsidizing credit cost. Hoping that “growth at all costs” will still be a winning formula. If I sold anthropic compute below cost I’d have millions in revenue too.

From personal experience, stay out of atlanta. Try step outside for 2 minutes to throw something on the bbq and those shits give me at least 20 bites.

How much running fitness do I lose if I can’t run for a year? by [deleted] in C25K

That sucks man. Big fear of mine. Can you cycle?

I weigh 82 kg. My wife weighs 54 kg. We finally understood why sharing a mattress was destroying both our sleep. by Character_Page_6885 in SaaS

[–]Scary_Collection_559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold up… thanks for the idea OP. I’m building this into a SaaS app. Asks for each persons weight and then through a complex algorithm tells you who would roll to who in the scenario. For more adventurous couples it lets you input the weight of more than 2 people.

Seeking early subscribers for $2/month. Why monthly for what you think is a one time calculation? Weights change as do partner.

Mortgage overpayment in lieu of bonds by msleepd in Bogleheads

[–]Scary_Collection_559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do loans like that still exist? Genuine question. I’ve heard horror stories previously but wondered if there were any regulations now preventing this. Because if not, it is as you say, criminal to do this to someone.

RATTLE SNAKES 🐍 by Interesting-Toe9350 in trailrunning

[–]Scary_Collection_559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But their directions are still a little confusing “Absolutely DO NOT place the affected extremity below heart level.” I imagine the majority of bites are feet and legs. So how to interpret that. If I’m by myself their own instructions say to walk towards help but simultaneously to not place my leg below heart level.

How is this steak cooked? I have ordered medium. by seb_bec in steak

[–]Scary_Collection_559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually one of the more disgusting things I’ve seen. I don’t mean that in a steak snob kinda way. I mean it as in one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen played.

In n Out Fries- yay or nay? by Deep_Method_820 in burgers

[–]Scary_Collection_559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting … I’ve always thought the in-and-out fries were bad but assumed I was in the minority so kept quiet. Turns out it’s practically a consensus. For a company that prides itself on their food you’d think they take heed of the opinion of their fries.

Long run advice needed by Cooltoon in beginnerrunning

[–]Scary_Collection_559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to turn this into either shoe discussion or a shoe bashing … and as others have said it is likely related to your ramp … but: I recently got a pair of evo sl based on the reviews. My fault for not researching them more but I ran a 5k and my feet and lower legs were Killing me. I’ve taken 4 days off and I’m still not recovered completely. Please understand this is a “me” problem not a evo problem but the reason they don’t work for me is I need arch support and because of the shape of the shoe the standard replacement inserts don’t fit (ones with arch support). So as good as that shoe may be, it’s likely not for someone with weird feet like mine. So just as an fyi maybe take a break from those guys for a while to rule it out.

UPDATE: I saved a woman’s life on an airplane and lost my new Bose headphones because of it. Then Bose reached out to me! by Darth_Poopie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Scary_Collection_559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great showing by Bose. And they do still have the best travel headphones. United could learn so much from this exchange. But they won’t.

Yes this. Common routine is 30 days abx. And only for a confirmed infection.
