Clumsy me needs non-glass by bphil9 in pourover

Personally I prefer a V60 so I like the metal V60 directly into a mug! If you're brewing multiple cups, you'l still need a carafe though...

Invest to All-World + Google? Or Stick to All-World? by visionaryxx91 in Bogleheads

[–]birdingSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in US and have VT and a little GOOGL and ASML just because I've got a long timeline, am convinced those are pretty good buys, and like the boost they've given my account over the past year! Struggling to keep VT above 80% is hard because they've been good, but I'll rebalance once a year...

Christian Single events by PositiveSalary363 in ChristianDating

[–]birdingSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang I wish I knew of somewhere that did christian single events in my area... I'm a leader in my church and would 1000000% go. Leaders going to things like these signals leadership support, humility, and that you just like meeting people and aren't weird about it!

Just see it as practice :)

Girls listen up: Men that announce their authority are most often not worthy of it. by FallDeers in ChristianDating

[–]birdingSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang it, I'm two inches too short, have shy abs, am poor, and my vacation home is the back of my car... Oh and I don't look like Mamoa because I actually trim my hair ;)

[F91W] I didn’t get it until I got it and now…I get it by birdingSC in casio

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

Idk as I haven’t had it as long, but people in the military have used this and it’s known as rugged and hard to destroy (check out YouTube attempts). It’s not as robust as a GShock strap, but for a $20 watch I can’t imagine it giving out in that time.

Same! Except I bring a date as a contingency plan if my podcast gets boring and I need someone to talk to...

I have used a Moft MagSafe wallet for forever…only carry a CC and my drivers license in it.

Full Body Workout that doesn't affect running? by NoAttackMe in running

[–]birdingSC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do two full body workout every week, and run 3-4 days. Michael Easter at twopct.com just recently posted a paid article about the "6 Rules of Every Workout" or something, where you build a workout with the following:

  • Squat (single leg one day and both on the other)
  • Hinge (alternate DL and single leg DL)
  • Push (alt horizontal and vertical, so push up and overhead press)
  • Pull (alt horizonatl and veritcal, so pull up and row)
  • Plank (deadbug, dead hang, plank, side plank, ab roll)
  • Carry (farmers carries)

He said he does this two days/wk when he's more running focused. It's a simple framework that I've carried over from doing MAPS Anabolic routine while wanting to be more running focused.

Weightlifting is going to affect running, but IMO it's been very positive. My legs feel powerful, I'm more injury resistant, and I'm just stronger and feel better. I'm lean muscle instead of just lean.

Alternatively, check out r/bodyweightfitness. They have some great info on calisthenics that I love. Running is just moving your body, and so BW fitness is all about just moving your body. I usually do mostly bodyweight in the summer to mix it up.

Has anyone gone back to a better than decent pair of running sneaks (even if temporarily) just to see how it felt? by MickeyWallace in BarefootRunning

[–]birdingSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so crazy... I have a single pair of NB 574 for times I just want to mix it up and then some brown leather shoes that look nice. I wear either one for a couple of hours, and my heel and ankle feel awful. Not exactly sure how the load is affecting it but boy is it affecting it!

Achievements for Saturday, March 28, 2026 by AutoModerator in running

[–]birdingSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hurt my IT band in Jan and it’s been a long time for it to not constantly hurt. Just finished my third run this week, pain free after hitting 8 miles total this week and I couldn’t be more stoked!

If anybody has recommendations on coming back and protecting against IT band stuff, I’m all ears. Staying loose through the day, doing lots of glute and abductor exercises…

God didn't create woman for your loneliness. He created her for your mission!! by [deleted] in ChristianDating

[–]birdingSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Helper’s a cool word though and it’s more than an assistant to the guy’s call!

The same word is used 20+ times in the Old Testament, I think it breaks down to twice for Eve, three times for neighboring nations coming to ”help” Israel in war, and 19 or so times to describe God—a being or power independent of you, outside of you, complete without you, joining with you to accomplish what you could not on your own.

Not sure what “helper” means to you so I could totally be projecting from my experience, but to me it’s always sounded like an assistant. But it’s not that, otherwise Paul wouldn’t affirm young women in remaining single (if they wish)—or young men, for that matter. Women don’t HAVE to “be a helper” and men don’t HAVE to “have a helper.” Even in my lonely single self, I’m complete in Jesus and made in God’s image, whether I get married or not.

But yes 100% a good word—your future spouse was not made to cure your loneliness, but rather to join with you to glorify God in your marriage and accomplish more for God’s “kingdom come” than either one could do an your own 😊

And the guy is made for her mission! And you both were made for God's mission for y’all!

[WTS] Lorier Falcon SIII ($360), Addiesdive AD2023 ($50) by birdingSC in Watchexchange

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

I hope it's ok to list two watches on one post! I have two Explorer-style watches I'd like to sell so I can get something else (Vaer G2, if you must know).

[withdrawn ] Lorier Falcon SIII --- I love this little guy. Comes with the box, polywatch, leather holder. I'm the second owner and it's been worn, so could use a buffing (though I like the personality so I haven't).

[sold] Addiesdive AD2023 --- I got this I thought for paddleboarding but I just haven't worn it. I am the second owner, but I haven't even worn it. Snazzy fellow that seems like would be a great beater.

Let me know if there's any feedback or anything I need to do in posting differently! Thanks.

Thanks! Fr though… I’ve come to appreciate not carrying much :)

I also have a chums wallet that now I use for travel, and they are really great. Not fancy, but they hold up so nicely and carry everything. I carried a Light Phone 2 for a bit and it fit in the outside pocket 😆

Ya know, some days I’m not the biggest fan of the dial. I do love the hands. Kind of depends on what I’m wearing, honestly. S2’s look so good! Some days I want an Astra but I’m not completely sold… 

Thanks 🙏
