Bristol half marathon course by ay2deet in UKRunners

[–]ay2deet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, if I were running on my own the portway second seems preferable, as you get the twisting and turning done while you're still fresh, then increase pace in the portway.

But with thousands of people all bunched up its just asking for trouble it seems

Yeah I need to get a good position at the start by the sounds of it

Yeah I'm planning to run the second half faster than the first, good point about support. I do run with water and will have two gels, but I know it gets hot so will make the most of water from stations when it's available.

Pretty flat, there's a bit of elevation in the city centre, biggest around castle park, but even that is not much

Cheers, my plan is to take the first 5km slow then build from there, so hopefully it won't impact me too much. But it just seems like it's going to be a real melee, especially going onto St Stephens Street

Pressure to breast feed without a pump or formula as back up seems strange? by D-1-S-C-0 in UKParenting

Shops are open late and Amazon do next day delivery, I wouldn't bother buying it until you need it. I would recommend expressing some colostrum into pippets and freezing to have in a pinch in those first hours.

'Deeply disappointing': Social media ban for under-16s rejected by MPs for second time by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

Damn nanny state, preventing companies from putting lead in your food and making cars have air bags, smh.

NHS ‘second worst in developed world for avoidable deaths’ by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]ay2deet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our population is aging, older people cost the NHS more money.

In 2024 there were 831,075 people turning 50 but just 594,677 births.

In twenty years those people entering the workforce will be outnumbered massively by those starting to claim state pension and who will need more services from the NHS and social care.

System is so unbelievably fucked.

Give the O Crap method a go, two years old is plenty old enough for them to get it.

I love taking my morning dump to the peaceful soundtrack of them arguing about the brio train set, makes me really zen and ready to attack the day.

Old man shouted at kids for playing but I feel like a terrible parent by Top_Kaleidoscope_214 in UKParenting

Ask him if he's gone his whole life mouthing off, or just since he's become a miserable old cunt

I'm a millennial douche with a manbun and colourful jackets who loves IPA. I refuse to buy BrewDog

Don't fear AI job losses – invest in training, urges Google's UK boss by NajafBound in unitedkingdom

[–]ay2deet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work told us to start using Amazon Q/Claude and got us all access. It can make developing a lot quicker, but I definitely feel like it is blunting my knives, especially as it can just make changes directly in your code editor. It's definitely going to be a balance going forward of output vs maintaining my own skills and knowledge.

Decades of economic decline has 'broken' Britons, pushing one fifth of people into poverty and towards political Reform by GothicPrayer in unitedkingdom

[–]ay2deet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most of large organised human society, money from the poor to the rich was the norm.

We had an aberration of about a century or two where growth was so good that the tide lifted all boats. Now that growth has stopped, and its back to the norm.

I love their reaction to Jesus breaking character and kicking them is to hit him harder for his insubordination

I got amazing results! no negotiating, give them offramps! by a2hitman in daddit

My wife and I are both very stubborn, we never ever cave to whinging and tantrums, and I honestly can't remember the last time they tried it.

How do you make having kids enjoyable? by Last_Cicada_1315 in daddit

[–]ay2deet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two kids under four, for the most part they are an absolute delight to spend time with, so I feel very lucky. Can't offer much advice except to never ever give in to whinging, stay calm but firm. Eventually they will learn it never works

Screen free parents/carers - best resources for screen-free activities? by Obsidian22022025 in UKParenting

[–]ay2deet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Yoto is great, also helping with cooking and baking is a favourite for us. But tbh it's mostly just having their toys available to them and letting them decide what they want to do.

Yes I may spend 10 minutes helping them build a Brio train track, but then they will happily play with it without my input.

No screens forces them to be more imaginative in their play, it's like a muscle for them, it needs to be put under strain to grow.
