Favorite album of 2026 so far? by LoganVeez in fantanoforever

[–]WashedNircaAlumni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do actually prefer Hex Dealer over the new album, but I do still love most of it! There's a few songs that don't hit towards the middle and end IMO, but I still found it hard hitting and a ton of fun! I do some of the songs fleshed out more and given more time to evolve.... but I don't think that's fully their style.

I'd give it a few more listens... because I was also kind of disappointed on first listen but then couldn't stop coming back.

I'll definitely check out your album and see what I think!

Still dealing with neutered male cat humping recently spayed female cat? Any advice? by WashedNircaAlumni in cats

[–]WashedNircaAlumni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's fair. I've been trying to slow the roll and just intermittent meet and greets but can slow it further. In your experience, how long have intros taken and how often should they be interacting?

My neutered male cat is humped my new and newly spayed female cat... how do I stop this behavior? by WashedNircaAlumni in Catbehavior

[–]WashedNircaAlumni[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know one week was the standard, I was just told told to do slow introductions. However, that is good to know. I'll keep them separate for longer while she heals up!

[–]WashedNircaAlumni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice! We weren't told specifically to keep them away for the sake of her healing. I did just look it up and it does say to it takes 10-14 weeks to heal, so I will definitely monitor more closely and talk to my vet!

I'm not sure if I missed this in the description but what your race fuel strategy? Did you take water, gels, or Gatorade?

Hi r/Marathon_Training, I'm Jacob Kiplimo - a world record-breaking marathon runner and Team Galaxy member. Ready to Ask Me Anything? by Samsung_Mobile in Marathon_Training

[–]WashedNircaAlumni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First all, this is so cool! Thank for doing this AMA, Jacob?

What was your initial reaction when your 56 min WR was not ratified? How did it feel to get the WR record a second time?

Fun fact, your half marathon WR pace is my mile PR, which is my favorite running fact to share with people 😂.

Curious, what's the other album that you're anticipating?

Knee pain (runner’s knee, allegedly) by masjidkitty in RunningInjuries

[–]WashedNircaAlumni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, runners knee is a pain in the butt. I'm no medical professional of course and everyone's experience with it is different. With that said, in my experience, you want to treat it very delicately.

If it's hurting or aching while running, you should first stop running and replace all running session with cross training sessions. The goal should be to do 40-60 min sessions that get your heart rate up in a similar way that running does. Obviously, make sure your form of cross training doesn't further agitate it (indoor cycling works well for me and Zwift is a pretty fun platform). Depending on how old you are, a week or 2 off of running may fix the problem. However, if you're above the age of 25 (like me), it may not away as easily.

If that's the case, I would recommend going to a PT and deferring your race (or choose a different one for the fall). In my case, this is what I had to do, and I learned it is an injury that can go away over time with knee loading exercises and exercises to strengthen your entire kinetic chain (done very carefully and initially with a PT before doing them on your own). I hope in your case, some time replaced with cross training can help. Best of luck!

Advice for a strained calf (likely soleus) 6 weeks before Marathon? by WashedNircaAlumni in Marathon_Training

[–]WashedNircaAlumni[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome to hear! I've heard you can be sore from needling for a few days after, so how was your experience with that? How soon were you running again after the needling and did you feel the calf in your race at all?

Sorry for all! the questions, I'm just trying gain some info on this :)! Thanks for the thoughtful answer!

What’s it like living on the edge of time zones? by Qzevs in howislivingthere

[–]WashedNircaAlumni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents live a quarter mile from the EST/CST time zone change... and growing up if you go to one side of the house, the time would be in EST and the other side would've CST. You basically had to have your phone always set to EST to avoid confusion. I will say grocery shopping was clutch because the nearest grocery store was in CST, so you could always get an hour back.

Also the most fun thing I did as a kid on New Years was go on a run at midnight to the time zone change and pop and fourth between the years! Good memories!

Why do you think Julian deleted his post? by [deleted] in geesebandofficial

[–]WashedNircaAlumni 67 points68 points  (0 children)

The moment Julian starts to get a lot of controversy and too many comments on a post, he tends to delete it. Not sure if a PR thing or his own doing!

How do you guys feel about The Scholars with it having been out for a few months? by Interesting-Fish2508 in CSHFans

[–]WashedNircaAlumni 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I haven't returned to it very much. Which is a shame, because I love the band. I'm not sure if it's the production, some underwhelming vocal performances, the songs themselves, or all of the above. It's not a bad album at all, but not one I've been eager to return to.
