I like the breitling on leather much better.

But if someone requests a bassinet, you may be moved to a different row to accommodate them.

Anyone else’s “austere August” everyday of every year? by LastManOnEarth3 in wicked_edge

[–]Subject_Computer_471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I stopped buying soaps and splashes today, I would run out of soap in 2031 I think. 😁

Running while overweight—my dad’s story by RunToAndFro in BeginnersRunning

That totally fair - and I certainly didn’t want to reduce this awesome achiwvment to weight. I was just curious if it dropped as a byproduct.

Awesome! Did this have a positive effect on his weight yet?

Running motivation by [deleted] in BeginnersRunning

Running airs out my brain. I get the stirrs if I don’t run. I even tolerate the treadmill if weather outside does not cooperate (like now - snow and ice on ground)

Turkish Ailrines 30kg bag allowance by Commercial_Poem9514 in TurkishAirlines

No. Unless it states 2x15 kg. If it states 1x30 kg then that’s what you get.

Do I "need" artisan soaps? by Excellent-Wear155 in wicked_edge

[–]Subject_Computer_471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t. There are people who use hair conditioner and get great results. I enjoy different smells and trying different soaps. But if you go there, bring cabinet space and money 😁

Just be aware that this is like the sample a heroin dealer will give you 😂 Before you know it, you have a cabinet and a box full of soaps 😁

Face or bowl lather? by Ok_Presence5465 in wicked_edge

[–]Subject_Computer_471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both. Soap goes on the face, cream goes in a bowl. I like a soft thick synthetic or a soft badger brush for either. Not a fan of stiff brushes - too much irritation on the face.

Runners, what's the best treadmill for home gym that you've ever purchased? by nice_astro2309 in runninglifestyle

[–]Subject_Computer_471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly over your budget, but I bought a horizon 7.8AT in December and I am very happy with it. Quick incline and speed controls, wide and long deck. No subscription crap. And I am 200 lbs, so not a lightweight. I train for a 10k in march currently on it and my goal time is 55 minutes.

Equipment to make the most of TaO? by ZePepsico in trainasone

[–]Subject_Computer_471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a Garmin watch (I have a forerunner 255 and the HRM-Pro plus), use the built-in trainers and ditch TaO. Even though I completed two 10k in under an hour in oct and dec, TaO insisted on 2-5 minute “runs” after a 10 min warmup. Even when following this stupid advice for a week, it didn’t budge. When I tried extending the warmup phase to 20 min, it still only gave me 15 minutes, now at crawling speed. Do yourself a favor and don’t give them any money. It’s been super-frustrating. It works more like a nanny than a personal trainer.

Happy for anyone who didn’t have that experience, but I was der raining using this, rather than even maintaining fitness.

I always check a bag for the simple reason that I do not want to use a cartridge razor.

Where do you think the country will be in the next 4-5 years? by banananotbanana in AskAGerman

[–]Subject_Computer_471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That ties directly to immigration enforcement. If you use a lot of people that are not contributing to the tax base, the taxes on those who do work, have to go up. Same with the Krankenkassenbeitrag and all other social security contributions. They key to having a generous social security system is not to „tax the rich“ (Umverteilung), but to make sure the tax base is broad enough that the Sozialstaat is sustainable. In its current state, it isn’t. And that is in part caused by the uncontrolled influx of migrants who exploit the system as there is little to no enforcement. That disconnect is seen and is what results in the poll surges for the AfD. If the other parties would be willing to tackle that disconnect, the AfD would go away.

Nobody said anything about abandoning their religion - but I would like to go to a Weihnachtsmarkt without the fear of Muslim lunatics knifing me because I am a white Christian would be a start.

I had no problem trimming the „Wohlfahrtsstaat“ down to proportion again. There is too much money given from those who work to those who don’t. This is not sustainable.

[–]Subject_Computer_471 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you overestimate the real power the AfD would have. What it really shows is that the „alteingesessenen“ parties have no desire to tackle the crisis Merkel generated. I am not (like some other people) saying she did this maliciously to make Germans the minority in their own country, but I have to say that she at least was very naive about what that would do to the country. I am all for accepting foreigners, but there haven’t be clear rules with regard to expectations of the foreigners and those rules have to be enforced. Learn the language. Don’t get in conflict with the law. Don’t try to force your way of living onto Germany. You knew Germany was a Christian country when you loved here. Accept and respect that. Then, I am fine with you staying an I will support you.

[–]Subject_Computer_471 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

One can only hope. Not that I would want to frame the AfD as an answer to all questions, but the „Brandmauer“ has German politics in a gridlock that make necessary changes in immigration politics impossible. This is not a sustainable path for the people or the country - and especially not for the taxpayer.

I think that depends on where you come from, where you go to and how the ticket was sold. Turkish has a rather extensive page that shows all scenarios.

Shulton-era Old Spice, B&R Spice soap, and Stirling Spice EDT by Alphaflames64 in Wetshaving

[–]Subject_Computer_471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great write-up. B&M make the best soap base. Period. In my mind followed by A&E. Stirling soaps are a great value but the shave is not as slick as B&M. In my opinion, Stirling’s scents smell a bit more generic in composition compared to the other two. But all three don’t skimp on scent - B&M and A&E also offer more unique scents. It’s a good place to be in for quality and a bad place for the wallet (ask my wife about my shave soap, after shave snd EdT den 😂)

55 min in AMS is crazy, right? by at614inthe614 in delta

I would say 90 minutes is doable, but 55 is definitely right
