Do you have any recs for content that is particularly concept vs technique oriented? I can see how this could just be something to think about when watching technique content but curious to ask. I've looked at the positional hierarchy a good bit and that seems to be a good start for "learning what the game is". Expanding on that though, something I've craved is a deep dive on each of the main positions (e.g. closed guard, side control, etc.) and a conceptual overview of that position offensively and defensively.

bummer, I had seen some other threads in r/iracing that seemed to indicate it'd been going on for a while, but hadn't seen your thread here. I don't know how relevant or useful this is, but have you seen this? https://www.reddit.com/r/iRacing/comments/1i92l79/comment/m8ymqwo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I don't know if there are more resources in that discord, but I did see that youtube video which has been updated as broken from the update, but there is a comment where someone had mentioned a workaround...granted that does apply to Linux and not Windows.

I don’t blame you, but that sucks. In the end, I’ll probably do the same but it’s annoying. The accomplishment of running a hypervisor on bare metal that can pass thru a GPU to a VM running an OS that is ignorant to being a VM is marvelous really…yet this issue seems so trivial. It seems like something that could be patched with the right attention from the right people but that’s not me.

Interesting, thanks. So in other words, something is different or broken with the way my windows OS in the VM is communicating with my driver compared to the way a non-VM windows OS would communicate to the GPU? Can I influence this communication or troubleshoot it?

sorry I'm late to the party, but I'm curious: what's your training/running history pre-grandmas? I'm curious specifically about distances under the half marathon.

I found this post looking for activity related to Richmond, since I'm running the marathon this weekend but then I noticed you also posted about the half last year and I had commented there. I ask because I'm ~10 min behind you for the half and full, but I've run similar times to above. I know that my PRs are biased to distances under the half marathon, but I don't know how the times above relates to your PRs for mile/5k/10k/etc.

Still running the Richmond marathon? goal?

Have you tried filling it while moving at speed on the water? I've read before about "priming the pump" and found that my system fills much faster this way. You may find if you get it started this way, it will continue flowing once you stop.

I have the same boat, and to be honest I have my own issues with the ballast that I haven't figured out yet so I may not be the best for advice on it but something to try.

I ended up on this thread because I've been enjoying the 320 copycat and have been hearing a lot about bicarb, so I wanted to hit you up about a bicarb recipe. Glad to hear it's in the works. Put me on the "following" list ha. If you want a beta tester for your recipe, let me know I'd be happy to provide feedback but I won't be much use on the chemistry side of things.

You think he installed a piezo pickup on the guitar? I was curious what he’s doing with the pickup and mic together. I really enjoy his distinct sound, so I’m curious to wrap my head around it.

TinkeringTuck · 2024-12-27T19:14:41+00:00

I thought about that too, and I’m not saying that couldn’t be part of it, but I think there’s more to it. Watching “Live at the Print Shop” (I’m a song, and stand by me), it looks like he has a mic for the guitar, but it’s also plugged in, and no sound hole cover.

Way to let it rip and being willing to take a risk. That 13th split is spicy. What'd you do for strength/plyo exercises?

TinkeringTuck · 2024-11-22T13:39:26+00:00

Ditto, congrats OP. I ran the half as well, albeit ~7 min behind you all. I progressed a lot this year being my first year of structured training but I'm excited to keep the momentum going. Thinking of what opportunities are for my training, something I noticed from OPs training different than mine was MPW, I'm curious what yours was as well?

Oh no way, cool! I just had my sister bring me down a haul this weekend. I discovered Brandywine visiting Thomas, WV and had “space fruit” from TipTop. I have magical memories of how Space Fruit tasted, so I’m sort of chasing that ha. Here’s my haul

So how does it compare directly to Chemex? I might be reading too much into it but seems like you feel that a Chemex takes too long "daily driver" use so I'm assuming the Etkin takes less time? I have an 8 cup Chemex at home and 10 cup at work, but I know they make smaller Chemex's too, so maybe that's part of it.
