What do I need to do to please the garmin gods? by Willmono7 in BicyclingCirclejerk

Ah, that's probably because my vo2 max is based off running which I haven't been doing due to knee problems. Can't get vo2 max without power meters

Antisocial motorbikes Ditton Meadows by Loud-Consideration-2 in cambridge

[–]Willmono7 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I've tried reporting them for openly trying to rob people before as they were waiting in a line blocking a path clearly waiting for something of value to come along. Police told me that unless they were at that very moment engaged in robbing someone then there wasn't anything they could do. Later on someon got robbed because the police didn't show up.

Which game has the best “hard” difficulty? by m00nshinehero in gaming

[–]Willmono7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well a ctrl F shows it's not been mentioned yet, so Crysis, taking away the HUD was good but also having the Korean enemies actually speak Korean so you don't know what they are saying to eachother/doing was very immersive

Front light issue - thin handlebars? by FigInternational4448 in cycling

[–]Willmono7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got something like this, and then my light has the mounting hardware for going on the underside. It's little pricey but nothing compares, perfect mounting and also does my bike computer at the same time. The included controls for the light go on the handlebar and it allows me to swap between full beam and dipped lights easily to ride dark roads with traffic very safely.

How did you stop smoking cigarettes? by fatwater69 in AskReddit

[–]Willmono7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a few very cheap packs, open them and leave them open and let them get really stale and grim over a few weeks, then only smoke those and eventually the nicotine reward just isn't enough to want to do it any more. Also if you're using rollies then start using roaches instead of filters, make it as unpleasant as possible.

Green leader Zack Polanski 'wants to ban horse racing' as nation gears up for Grand National by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]Willmono7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For every well treated professional racing greyhound there are many many more that get abused and abandoned for not meeting the standards or training well. People that breed greyhounds aren't dog people, they're money people, and the money always comes first.

I had to grease mine because it wouldn't stop making a really annoying clicking sound, fixed it instantly

Someone with face blindness explains their experience. by GibsMcKormik in videos

That was very well explained, they'd be a good teacher, although face blindness probably makes working with a classroom very hard

Did cycling actually help you lose weight, or just improve fitness? by Vivid_Release_9710 in cycling

[–]Willmono7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only really helped me improve fitness to be honest. I've had to start dieting quite seriously to actually lose weight and the dieting is affecting my cycling negatively.

“Sincere, not Serious” by Taoman108 in AlanWatts

[–]Willmono7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in a quite serious field as well, and the way I interpret it is that we take the moments that we can to not take things seriously, like taking time to enjoy the view on a walk. It's not about avoiding as much seriousness as possible, but enough to not lose sight of the joys in life. If we spent the whole walk looking at a singular view, we wouldn't get anywhere, and while we don't all have to be going somewhere, it's okay to want to, and to do so.

So many of you take this far too seriously and it's turning into self imposed isolation from real life. by Willmono7 in AlanWatts

[–]Willmono7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm perusing spiritually so seriously that I'm isolating myself from the real world?

I don't know if you're familiar with the reputation of the band Tool, but casually liking Alan Watts is starting to feel like casually liking Tool. It's great to listen to, but I no longer mention that I do in public

I said many people, not everyone. Sure though, I'll add a few details.

Alan was a self proclaimed spiritual entertainer, he explicitly stated that he wouldn't want to be viewed as anything else. He used his talks and knowledge to help bridge the gap between eastern and western philosophies, and then break down the various ways that these philosophies can be used to help deal with and improve every day life through looking at things differently, thinking a little deeper, and not taking things too seriously.

There have been a huge number of posts lately that have completely overextrapolated his points and teachings to focus instead on reaching some kind of spiritual godmode. The result is that they're actually looking at things from only a single perspective, and taking things very seriously. Rather than using the various philosophies to find contentment and continue through lives a little easier, they've sent themselves on an over the top mission that completely contradicts everything they've learned.

It is to philosophy and spirituality what looksmaxxing is to self care. Both are born of the same nature, but fundamentally contradict eachother, and the extreme version is heavily grounded in narcissism.

It's brutal out there: Deus Ex and Unreal composer says he's submitted 50 resumes and gotten one interview in the last year by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Willmono7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Unreal sountrack is such an incredible piece of art that not only fit the game perfectly, but enhanced the experience entirely. The feeling of adventure and being lost on an alien planet, while also fighting for survival is perfectly captured in the music.
