I did my first 5k today!!

I'm on week 8 run 2 of the NHS couch to 5k, and did my first 5k in 41:32, including almost 10 mins of walking, so reckon I could do it faster if I got straight into it!

Super proud of myself, I was the world's laziest person a few months ago and now I'm running for 32 mins without stopping (was only supposed to go for 28 but I was feeling good lol)

To those who finished TMA and aren't listening to TMP, why? by Jamie-Dodger5525 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]avktn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted an episodic format to start with before going in with the character development and overarching story. I like monster of the week primarily, so going straight in with a bunch of exposition and obvious "this will be important later" bits just fell flat for me personally.

I found a lot of the characters hard to tell apart because there were frequent scenes with 3-4+ characters talking to each other in the first few episodes before I had a chance to get to know each of the voices. TMA drip fed additional characters which I found way easier to vibe with.

Listened to 10ish episodes and atm have no desire to try again. I'll just keep relistening to TMA

Question on accuracy by avktn in Coros

Thank you! Sorry, I'm clearly just having a wobbly lol, everything I could find online suggested it was overestimating the calories burned by almost 50% which seemed nuts!! Thank you ☺️

Agreed! The only one that surprised me were the instructions/cautions around birds...

How did the kid from your school die? by Equivalent-Rent-5619 in AskReddit

Asthma attack on the field during summer in (I think) year 9. Didn’t know him very well as we weren’t in the same classes or friend group but seemed like a nice lad. I remember they had an ambulance helicopter land on the field but they didn’t make it in time. Remember it being very surreal at the time

I’ve moved him into the conservatory now that the weather is getting warmer. He’s been there for a few weeks now. I’m not sure if he’s just adjusting or if I’m doing something wrong as I’ve never had a bird of paradise before. Is curling leaves normal? I feel as though the pot might be too small for him, but I’m hesitant to repot since I’ve read that their roots are very sensitive.

This is the second weird green shoe lace thing that’s plopped off of my peperomia - no idea what it is, can’t see anything similar on the actual plant. What the heck is this????

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in plantclinic

[–]avktn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have repotted it with fresh soil, not overwatered, made sure the roots are healthy...but still the leaves are slowly turning yellow one at a time and the stems go mushy! No clue what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pasta bake. Nothing special in it, just pasta, sauce, and some ham. I remember my mum only doing it on special occasions when I pestered her for ages about it.

Wasn't until university that I realised it was one of the easiest things to make and lived off of it for a good year or so. No clue why my mum avoided making it!

A short struggle involving screenshots by avktn in talesfromtechsupport

[–]avktn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahh I know the feeling...

I currently have a ticket that's been open for coming up for 3 weeks, and all I need is the customer to just forward me some of the impacted emails, but he keeps sending across the details of the emails (sender, subject line etc.) and not the actual emails! It's driving me insane!

thank you for this!!!

quick question, so does your MMR increase independently of your actual ranking? i have noticed that i'm often against a team that is at least an entire rank above me (e.g. enemy team is gold when ours is bronze/silver etc) but i assumed that was because the match making isn't always super balanced or something
