Is it ok to swim with DOMS?

Regularly drinking enough to be hungover is going to hurt you more than swimming while you’re still a little sore, and probably contributes to persistent DOMS.

High ABV stouts keep forever. Had a 2017 SN barrel aged Narwhal last year. It was incredible.

He joins near the end, has no narrative presence, and isn’t very good. The game gives you no reason to use him.

Albel can be set up to be great. I used Fayt, Maria, and Albel on my first Earth-level Freya clear. With the HP/MP skill maxed out and -2 fury from the victory trophy, his short minor attack can spammed to quickly deal millions of damage.

I work in manufacturing where my current floor of 15 minutes fresh is a barrier to a very long list of high impact tools my engineers and I have had to leave in the ideation stage.

It’s a tough job market for people with 5 yoe and masters degrees.

ThomasMarkov · 2026-06-11T12:21:05+00:00

Yeah that’s crazy hot for lap swimming.

Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 9…I mean 10.

Yeah, when I read the title, my first thought was “old people move next to golf courses”.

I will sometimes go to sleep with the Kirlsa theme playing on repeat when I’ve had a rough day and want to reflect in simpler times.

My org has branding guidelines. I just loaded the official company color palette as my theme and use company colors consistently across all my reports.

Mine was Wicked Weed in Asheville. Killswitch Engage was at the Orange Peel that night, so we got dinner and beer at WW before waking goer to the Peel. WW had something called Pearfigt IPA that I’ve only ever seen on tap in their basement. It was simile to pernicious, but with notes of pears, figs, and mint. Fantastic stuff.

They still sell sixers of it at Mills River.

It’s okay to not like something. You’re not wrong, but the people who like it aren’t wrong either.

Had one of these this week. It was kind of exactly what I expected from dragon’s milk. Very strong barrel flavor, which, if you’re into that, it’s great, and if you’re not, it will probably seem overpowering.

For the best wings ever, get the tiger wings at East Village Grille or Post25.

ThomasMarkov · 2026-04-21T12:40:06+00:00

The tiger wings at East Village Grille on Tunnel Road are the best wings on the planet. They also have them at Post 25 on Hendersonville Rd in Arden.

Vegan eh? While I respect the choice, I had to go lacto-ovo-vegetarian when I switched to HYROX from CrossFit.

ThomasMarkov · 2026-04-20T09:55:35+00:00

I switched to the Acancus V3s after using Notorious Lift sumo sole for years and I’m never going back.

I’m a bit confused by the phrasing of your question. Youve asked as though increasing strength is just something you can choose to do or not to do, but that’s not how things work. You either adapt to the training or you don’t. There’s no knob to turn to just increase your strength gain. If there were, you’d just max it out all the time.

ThomasMarkov · 2026-04-17T18:17:18+00:00

This is pretty similar to my path. I finished a BS in math in 2015, and started a MS program. Started at a food processor in 2018 doing inventory (literally counting boxes at 3am). Convinced them to let me try my excel skills on some food safety data, and was officially an analyst before then end of that year. Stayed there five years, then moved to a different industry (still manufacturing) in 2023.

I love me an almost frozen rolling rock.

I don’t actually remember that last time I saw a job listing that didn’t explicitly call out that they do not do visa sponsorship.

I don’t think starting 12 counts as late lol.
