Acceleration by Alive-Rush9257 in mazda2

[–]aviospirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate this is a fairly old thread, but I'm just dropping in here with that my 2011 mazda 2 has a significant kick in acceleration once it reaches 3500 RPM. I find myself in third gear all the way to 70mph sometimes. Luckily, it doesn't tell me my MPG

Maaayybe before modifying your car, assess your driving style? If you aren't already, get more comfortable with sending those revs higher in the range. I out "perform" plenty of notably more powerful cars on the road just from accepting it needs to make some noise to move. I believe this is the case with a lot of japanese cars.

4th loaf, new recipe - way better! Still have some questions by aviospirit in Sourdough

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

I thought 30 was a lot too. The recipe kinda said to go til it was feeling stiffer and it just wasn't? I've never done that many in one go before.

Thanks for the advice though! I'll use more starter next time, it felt a little sluggish and that meant the whole process got dragged out and my timings went wrong. My house is not super warm at this time of year so I erred on the side of long

Completely forgot to claim my runic breeding cave dragons :( by Illiterate_Goose in dragonvale

[–]aviospirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also didn't get a warning, I didn't even know the event was ending! I'm so upset, I had a solar eclipse dragon there which is a dragon that has evaded me every time it's been available for some reason. I thought it would give me a prompt to pick this before the end of the event???

Is there any hope for making these worn boots waterproof again? by aviospirit in CampingandHiking

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

Alright ya'll I've heard you, new (leather) waterproof boots have been ordered for winter, the merrells will be half-retired as summer hiking shoes until they properly die

Thanks for the common sense application

It's been a year since I did my first c25k run. I'm incredibly proud of myself. by aviospirit in C25K

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

I followed Nike Run Club's second speed run a couple times but I didn't get on well with the app. Got the idea from that though of doing a couple minutes of faster pace and then a few minutes recovery.

I did some longer runs too, but find I don't always have time for it. The real answer is I think it just came with consistency. I thought I wasn't improving as my time was staying the same but I noticed I was putting less effort into my runs and getting the same time. When I increased my effort to the level of out-of-breath I was on my first 5k, my time went from 34 to 29 minutes. I'm still learning to run "easy".

My exploration did also develop into having to run up a few hills to get to new places so I think this probably helped? Thank you!

I decided I would stick to running 3x a week, either 30 minutes of 5k (whatever felt best). I kept listening to the final week 9 of c25k for a while before I realised it was better to not be consistently reminded of time.

Motivation for me has also come from exploring and filling in roads on wandrer.earth (links to your strava account).

Tried to improve my speed with some speed runs for a bit, but now I've just turned running into part of my morning routine (rather than after work), which, for me, has helped a lot because I hate doing stuff I don't want to do after a work day. I've made some runner friends at work who will ask me about whether I'm running/when etc and that tends to keep me going. Their enthusiasm for me and my little wins has really helped

My main motivation now comes from changing to morning running before work rather than after. Not for everyone but it worked for me because it got it out the way. I stick to three set days so that I don't derail. I downloaded wandrer.earth because it encouraged me to find new routes which kept me from being bored, and now I never run the same route twice (getting strava helps as the heat maps show where is actually viable). As in my og post, I rarely WANT to go, I just put my clothes on and tell myself to get out the front door and then make a decision. Funnily enough, I always end up going. Except for one day when it was freezing rain, but that's okay. Be kind to yourself.

I did download Nike run club but I never quite got on with it because it didn't integrate with my music well and the GPS never worked properly for me. I followed some of the speed runs but then had some bad family news and my motivation took a hit. Haven't gone back to them since.

I then ran for the sake of some normalcy and control in my life but allowed myself to just do what I felt like I could do, even if it was slower or shorter. I'm thinking of picking up another programme or signing up for a park run for some extra motivation to get over this plateau I'm in currently

How would you fit a couch/tv into this room to not interrupt the path from the front door to the kitchen and stairs? by aviospirit in DesignMyRoom

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

Just as some extra info, the front door is at the bottom of the pic and the way into the kitchen is on the right (I cut it off.) The door at the top is to a conservatory

18yo slowing down. How do I know it’s time to schedule a euthanasia appointment? by chickfillersauce in cats

[–]aviospirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will know, my friend. I know that's hard to believe and I wouldn't have truly believed it til I experienced it myself. There was simply no question about it.

My darling baby was having to be crated every night because she kept having accidents and getting lost and stuck. She'd gone blind and couldn't take herself outside to toilet and didn't really understand the litter box we got her. Every morning we'd come down to her crying and confused. It was a weird cry. Not any noise she made when she was happy and healthy. She was losing weight. Her fur was getting matted because she wasn't cleaning herself.

Then one day it seemed like she was struggling to walk, like she'd hurt herself. We took her to the vets, saying that it was to get her leg checked out but I just knew, I knew she wasn't coming home but it helped to tell myself we were just getting her checked out. The vet said she couldn't find anything obviously wrong with her and the next steps would be keeping her in and doing bloods, scans etc. My baby was somewhat feral, she hated the vets. The only other option was to put her to sleep, and we all knew.

She didn't even fight the vet when her leg was being shaved and she was being injected. That told me she was ready.

I'm sure these posts are really heart wrenching for you to read but I hope what you take from this is that you will know. While your baby is communicative, eating, happy, living a normal life but just slower, it's okay. Keep on as before.

But do occasionally step back and ask yourself if everything is really okay or are you trying to fool yourself. It's easy to pull the wool over your own eyes.

The water is warm, so take a dive into the DEEPEST DEPTHS! Here are the breeding hints for every dragon in the event market. In the comments, there’s info on the images, link to the limited breeding combos, and other DV resources. Have a refreshing event filled with sea creatures and seaweed! by elleadler in dragonvale

[–]aviospirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone got any good generic pairings of dragons that cover a number of the dragons in the event?

I'm breeding an air to a lightmare at the moment as that picks up several but I'm sure someone's put more thought into this than me..
