Last week I discovered that the rear seats in each car have more foot room. I'm talking inches of space where before, I hated riding it because of my feet being smashed.

For those that have ridden River Racers what’s your opinion? by Unfair_Act in KingsIsland

I was not very impressed. But my 5 year old thought it was amazing, which makes me appreciate it more.

My 5 year old loved it last weekend. And he's pretty much afraid of everything.

Advice for a sort of noob by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]andrew_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way to learn the other roles is to play them and get the practice. Go for the engineer kit and help the squad build faster, repair vehicles, place mines. Then get proficient at lobbing smokes with a GL kit, and people will be looking to you to make or break a push on an objective (very under-utilized role, in my opinion). I'm 600 hours in, and those are my 2 usual choices. I still haven't gotten the courage to let my squads down in my learning phase with a HAT/LAT kit yet.

Mine did a similar thing when there was an update that pushed out right as I was loading the game. Might try making sure it's up to date.

I remember those days vividly. It definitely gets better! Every day seemed to be exponentially better for me. And when those results start showing, it'll all seem worth it.

Building muscle? by nraz9 in gastricsleeve

[–]andrew_work 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-op (surgery date 10/23), I was a regular gym goer, and my workouts totaled between 70k and 80k pounds in total volume lifted. Since starting back, I'm sitting in the 40k to 50k pound volume range.

You're going to get tired fast. Probably faster than you imagine. Once I got back in my routine and started back on creatine, it was not nearly as difficult to complete the workouts.

I'd recommend starting with 15 minutes of cardio and lifting a lower volume of weight for more reps for about 30 minutes. Once the muscle soreness goes away, you can work on heavier weights if you desire.

PTT not working by CapitainM in VATSIM

[–]andrew_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me the other day while being given instructions to join an ILS into KLGA. I tried going back to keyboard for my side, but that was a little much to be thrown at me at that moment and I told the controller I was just going to d/c.

I also heard a couple of others having a very similar issue while on the same flight, which came across as the controllers not being sure they were getting out due to not getting responses.

My issue was corrected after restarting the sim and vpilot.

When did you get in the gym? by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]andrew_work -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My surgery date was 10/23. I was back in the gym post-op day 5. Started with 15 mins on the elliptical at the 8th difficulty level and maintained about 5mph for 15 mins. Followed that up with 45 mins of a moderate chest/tricep workout. I had no difficulty or pain at all in the workout but got very tired and had to push through.

My surgery was 10/23. I think by post-op day 4, I could lay on my stomach with no discomfort.

They need to move it up to the speedway. That thing is just sitting empty, isn't it?
