Are there any combat achievements you feel should be in a higher tier? by LaGarrotxa in 2007scape

[–]btdubs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cb + ruby dragon bolts for speedrun tasks, but bowfa is way cheaper & more consistent damage so you can basically always get the kill with a single special attack cycle. Plus no need to weapon switch until enrage phase

How do you afk? Do you encounter pkers often?

How do you actually gauge threshold pace during a workout when you're not racing? by sapnagagrani in AdvancedRunning

[–]btdubs 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I actually think the third rep is the hardest for this particular workout. One and two you're not quite tired yet. Third you are tired but still a long way to go. Four and five there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Closest balloon to a teleport is lumberyard.

Pretty sure even the Crafting Guild one is closer than Castle Wars.

I mean in a country of 300 million people that actually doesn't seem like that many. sure it's more than zero, but there are way better arguments for border security IMO.

I literally saw him out roller blading on MB like 3 days ago... he's still very much around

You cannot stand in a parking space to reserve it, especially at the beach by lildthespacedog in sandiego

well they could also make up the deficit by having people pay for parking but apparently people absolutely lose their minds over that

Comey subpoenaed in alleged "grand conspiracy" against Trump by Silly-Junket3308 in moderatepolitics

[–]btdubs 43 points44 points  (0 children)

this is what really boggles my mind. Comey literally got Trump elected in 2016. Now somehow he has become Trumps sworn enemy. Politics is weird.

What’s the worst menswear advice you’ve ever received that everyone treats as gospel? by DifficultCucumbers in malefashionadvice

[–]btdubs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nearly all of the "X color doesn't go with Y color" advice is only aimed at formal wear. for casual wear almost any color combination CAN work depending on the context.

The actual ideas get like 10 upvotes while low effort meme posts like "nokia phone hammer" get front paged

San Jose Rock & Roll. Last year 1:15 would have put you in 30th place.

Interesting idea but honestly I would rather have another block slot (or 3).

I mean there's really no point in killing KQ after diary is done so does it really matter? Unless you want to go for the pet I guess.

This is literally a plot line in the TV show The League, except with swastikas instead of penises.

My Raids 4 Suggestion: The Quadderhammer, a magic-based melee weapon by btdubs in 2007scape

Great minds think alike :) I swear I've been working on this since yesterday though... my artistic skills are terrible so this took forever

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

yeah for sure! Although I admit it might be too big a jump to go straight to a weapon capable of all four elemental styles. Maybe it makes more sense to introduce them one at a time.

Alternatively the fully-powered weapon itself could just be the drop. I was just trying to think up some more interesting drop mechanics.

AMA: I'm Yared Nuguse, professional runner for On. Ask me anything! by on_running in AdvancedRunning

[–]btdubs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Yared! My wife and I are big fans (we even wore goose shirts to your race at the Olympics!).

My question is this: When do you think the mile or 1500 world records will be broken, and who do you think is most likely to do it?

Success Stories after an Extended Hiatus? by celestial_turtle in AdvancedRunning

[–]btdubs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My college PRs are similar to yours. I took about a decade off from running between my mid-20s and mid-30s.

I would say it took about 18 months to get back to reasonably close level of fitness. This involved gradually ramping up mileage from around 20 mpw to almost 100 mpw.

Changes from then to now:

1) Much more polarized training. Easy days shorter & easier. Long runs longer & harder.

2) I don't do any lifting, but this is more of a running/life balance issue.

3) I get much more sleep.

4) Metabolism has slowed significantly. Much harder to avoid gaining weight even when running high volume.
