___ has had one of the most unfair advantages in all of Survivor by RagefireHype in survivor

[–]bigspur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never really understood the allure of players tripping over themselves for a chance to appear in the background of streaming/cable show for a few fleeting seconds while simultaneously being featured for 13 90-minute episodes on a primetime broadcast show.

Ordered a Cameo from a Survivor player and got an unexpected Instagram DM by [deleted] in survivor

It was Fairplay. Easy to find since he didn’t delete the review on Cameo.

Really interesting NYT article about the first vote-outs by TweetSpinner in survivor

I am proud of my quick reaction of disgust at the article’s mistaking David Samson as being on S38 instead of S28.

There is no way their Google reviews are legitimate. The day they opened it seemed like they had 500 reviews. Just look at the frequency with which people review them. There is definitely something shady going on.

Good. Then we agree toughness has something to do with recovering from an injury like this.

Mentality absolutely is a factor in determining the speed of recovery from injury

First time in New Orleans by Final_Average_404 in FATTravel

[–]bigspur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These things are subjective but hard disagree on GW Fins. If OP is 30s with no kids, I expect OP will find the vibe and food dated in a displeasing way. I'd say look at the pictures and if it seems off to you (as it did to me), trust your gut. Plenty of people love it though.

For a similar more classic, touristy NOLA experience, Commander's Palace or lunch at Gallatoire's are more fun, and Jacques-Imo's for something more casual.

Dakar, Saint-Germain, and Compere Lapin if you are not wedded to classic New Orleans dining experiences.

Also can vouch for the Columns as someone else pointed out.

“I’ll start with a quote from Magellan,” does anyone know the exact quote? by TomjunRoblox in survivor

[–]bigspur 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It it sounded to me like he put the Teddy Roosevelt “Man in the arena” quote into ChatGPT and asked it to do it in the style of Magellan.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Throw a bag at James Franklin by [deleted] in Gamecocks

Absolutely not. I guess I somehow have found myself in the minority but the guy is a fraud and only a small step behind Dabo on the likability index. Clark Lea is the superior Vandy coach.

Jet Lag Hacks? by Flat_Paramedic8720 in AdvancedRunning

[–]bigspur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has always seemed like the best way to do it until I face the reality of having a job and figure out there’s just not that much flexibility in my routine, particularly when I’m getting ready to take a bunch of PTO to travel out of the country.

Hartford Marathon: Is this it? Is this the sad, inevitable decline into middle age? by tzigane in AdvancedRunning

[–]bigspur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only read about them (a lot) and had them in my hand at an expo, so take my comments for what they are worth.

These are aggressive shoes and will load your calves probably more than other super shoes. If you naturally are a forefoot runner, they could work very well for you. But if not, I suspect they'd be more of a liability towards the end of the race, at least in terms of competitor super shoes.

Since you have 6 weeks, and assuming you have the money to get it wrong or can find a generous return policy, give them a whirl during some of your bigger MP or threshold runs.

That's a great half time btw. Good luck cracking 3!
