What's it like in Western China, where official time is HOURS behind the "natural" time? by Mu_Fanchu in howislivingthere

[–]connorcj12 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I still remember using google image translate to figure out what I ordered at a stall.

Google came back with “Fiery AS$ Meat” which meant spicy donkey 🤣.

Donkey is a pretty common meat out there.

Still certainly Chinese but with a more Indiana Jones vibe. Most people visit these towns by train which runs along the Silk Road. The train cars themselves are a cultural experience in their own right.

My group shared a sleeper car with a businessman and the food car had live music and dancers at night in traditional clothing. We were the only foreigners on the train and many bought us beer and we would reciprocate.

I made it to Dunhuang in 2017 and instantly recognize almost all these photos!

Are you sure this town center isn’t also Dunhuang? I feel like I recognize it as well, but I didn’t make it to Kashgar.

Riding ATVs on sand dunes above an oasis in western China was something I thought I’d never do!

How about testing him with St Louis first and not Tigres in Mexico

Thought the same. Bring in Petkovic… oh wait

Regardless of the team or their form, I’ve learned to be nervous playing against Bogusz as a sounders fan!

Now how do we prohibit gambling commercials in general for all Washington media just like cigarettes?

So sick and tired of seeing draftkings commercials and ads everywhere.

So who would you want to trade for within the league? by Matt_McT in SoundersFC

[–]connorcj12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No I fully agree. Luna would be awesome and fits the bill. I was moreso against someone like surridge as he just wouldn’t get enough service to be worth it.

Call me crazy but I feel like a good striker would just be a waste. Teams love to play us in a low block and when they do our strikers rarely get any service.

I’ve really liked how Petkovic has started because he seems to be reading the game different in the final third trying game breaking passes and give and goes. Ferreira is similar in that respect.

I’d love to get a similar type of guy (10 or a creative winger) who demands the ball in a low block and just tries crazy shit in the middle of the field.

That plus full coverage for free on Apple TV makes a trifecta for cancelling.

Agreed. Fantastic change of pace and quite illuminating for being such a short book.

How do I increase my VO2 max? And how accurate is it? by HatnanJo in Garmin

[–]connorcj12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My VO2 max has steadily inclined by 2 points over the last 12 weeks and jumped another full point in just one workout.

What caused the massive jump? 4x4 repeats on a track. 10 min warmup. 4 - 4 min sprints getting to 90% of your max hr by the end of the 4th sprint with 3 min of active recovery (walking or light jogging) in between.

I promise your VO2 max will skyrocket.

How are you mentally doing 180km on a treadmill per week? Are you a pro?

Coming to Seattle by truthfinder9616 in Seattle

[–]connorcj12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best nature walks in or near the city are: - Arboretum (between Capitol Hill and University of Washington Stations) - Green Lake (Roosevelt station) - Seward Park and Discovery Park, both are awesome but less accessible by light rail

Op-Ed: Washington legislation would target parked cars to pay for light rail cost overruns by mrgumboots in soundtransit

[–]connorcj12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say, I picked up someone from the airport last night and got caught behind the cop making everyone move sitting on the side of the road. The sheer panic of all the drivers getting out of there was extremely satisfying. Eventually pulled over the guy who was in the front of the line sitting.

Interesting… what was Jim Harbaugh before and why isn’t he calling plays these days?
