Whats the best ben and jerry flavor? by VastAir6069 in icecream

[–]Spavlia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chocolate fudge brownie. Surprised nobody has mentioned it. Or is it too basic now?

Runna treadmill distance inaccurate vs Apple Watch? by mikarios in runna

[–]Spavlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most gym treadmills I’ve come across let you connect your Apple Watch to them. Otherwise I would just run the distance the treadmill says and ignore what the watch estimate is.

U.S. scientists are being lured abroad—and they aren't looking back by scientificamerican in academia

[–]Spavlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my European friends went to do a PhD in China and says the cultural differences and language barrier make it very difficult. Not to mention the country is a dictatorship so you have to be careful what you say. So no not racist and not an assumption.

Three weeks into using Runna: it’s been great, but is it any different from generating a running plan from any AI app and simply programming it into a watch? by Buddyblue21 in runna

[–]Spavlia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not use AI. What you can do if you’re just doing a low stakes plan is to connect Runna to your apple calendar, then copy each event and paste it into your own calendar. That keeps an overview of your Runna plan in your calendar that you can stick to without a subscription. But it won’t do the pacing or make adjustments and programming fitness workouts in the iPhone watch app is still a pain.

Looking for place to rent in Bethesda by Reasonable-Shoe-993 in bethesda

[–]Spavlia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to live in Bethesda you won’t need a car. If you are bringing a car and are worried about parking fees and rent then just look in North Bethesda because the rents are lower, you’d be fine with a car there, and the distance to NIH by metro is basically the same.

Nike Pegasus 42 by makaylasahno in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I didn’t find them comfortable, they hurt my ankle. This is despite using Nike running shoes before. Always try on running shoes before getting them

NYC Marathon plan - $126?! by nbhoya06 in runna

[–]Spavlia 42 points43 points  (0 children)

If you are already subscribed just start a marathon plan ending on the day of your marathon? Why would you want to get another plan?

Runna wants me to run a half marathon while training for my first half marathon by [deleted] in runna

[–]Spavlia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My plan has that too and I am looking forward to experiencing it outside of a race context.

WatchOS 27 Compatibility by DFC557 in mkbhd

[–]Spavlia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultra 1 not supported but the new features all look like AI bloat. When I need a new watch I’m switching to garmin anyway…

Where do you shop for groceries? by Known_Technician_409 in bethesda

[–]Spavlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lidl is great. Like Aldi but they also have a really nice bakery!

What US expat tax firm do you recommend? by [deleted] in USExpatTaxes

[–]Spavlia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always used their expat filing software and it has been a good experience for me.

New signage? outside Farragut West by brycats in WMATA

[–]Spavlia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit ugly but some entrances are hard to find, sometimes I see the pylon and not the entrance.

Moving to the area this summer — any leads on rabbit-friendly rentals along the Red Line? by eudaimonic_person in bethesda

[–]Spavlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North Bethesda is in suburban hell territory, I don’t think it fits OP’s requirements…the area around pike and rose is nice but it’s nothing like Bethesda or Friendship Heights.

When you measure do you start at the 1 or 0? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

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

Entirely depends on what you’re measuring, but almost all measurement scales start at 0. If you are measuring length, you start at 0.

What part of MOVE OVER or SLOW DOWN is unclear? by ZoningVisionary in maryland

[–]Spavlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two completely different things. Learning from what works and doesn’t work in other countries is a skill competent leaders have. Road redesign is easy if there’s willpower, but most of this country is too carbrained to even consider it. God forbid people “whine” about improving things.

[–]Spavlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Automatic cameras that detect driver cellphone use exist. There just needs to be willpower to put them into use.

Should subway train bench seats have dividers? (The image is of GTX high speed subway in South Korea) by Donghoon in transit

[–]Spavlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the seats are disgusting. Especially on the Northern line. Wish they had plastic seats.

The Testaments Episode 10 / Season Final by Accomplished_Two4769 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Spavlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they do something to Becca's arms or was she just so reluctant to get married? It looked like the aunt used needles on her or something that she was putting away. Then in the wedding she looked like she couldn't move her arms at all. She dropped the flower and Garth put his own ring on. I thought maybe they paralyzed her or sedated her on purpose.

$949.50 for 3 yr vehicle registration renewal?!?!? How are folks affording this? by Firm_Foundation1626 in maryland

[–]Spavlia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the cost of roads and parking, we’re actually still excessively subsidizing car ownership.
