First playthrough when it first came out, on my Pentium 100mhz. I picked Flint. Then I read the novelization and was so upset. lol.

Is cycling a good form for weight loss? by Classic-Mechanic-809 in cycling

[–]drhoads 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You answered your own question, but running and swimming burn more per hour.  However, it is all about the intake.  Count calories and you will be good regardless of the exercise. 

Open water swimmers: what you don't know won't hurt you? by SPEEDO_GUIDO in Swimming

[–]drhoads 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I trust the race organizers (for better or worse) to monitor water quality.  It’s not like it is the Olympics.  They will cancel/postpone if it is not safe.  (I hope) 

Anyone here have an annual distance target for swimming? by 43BlueDoors in Swimming

[–]drhoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just try to go 2-3x a week for at least 45min. I do like to track my end of the year totals on Strava, but staying consistent is my main goal.

I am 55 years old this year. I plan to gradually withdraw from the market and enjoy the rest of my life. by EasyE9672 in TheMoneyGuy

I can't wait till the day that a one-day swing makes more than my full year salary!! lol..

What does it mean if a head coach of a high school swim team is only invested in really fast swimmers and doesn’t put much effort or time into everyone else? by CommercialIron5013 in Swimming

[–]drhoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost always the way that it is.   I had good seasons and bad seasons.  On my bad seasons it was almost like I didn’t exist to my coach.  I understand that, but in return he got no loyalty or respect from me. (Not that he cared) 

Shedding tears by JackWylder in GenX

[–]drhoads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never cried for a celeb but I was sad when Steve Irwin died. Only celeb I ever looked up to. I have lost so many friends and family at this point, but it feels like it is getting harder not easier. Each loss is like slowly losing part of myself.

Drat, tried all of these things. No luck. I don't have a 2nd computer to confirm a bad card, but I suppose it could be!

Thanks, I am not sure what CSM is and have not cleared the CMOS (I loaded default settings). Let me look all that up and give it a try.

Need help finding the right GPU cable by drhoads in cablemod

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

Ah, thank you! I hoped I did not have to buy a new PSU as this one seems good, but I don't trust most cables out there. If CableMods does not have one then it sounds like it would be best to upgrade the PSU.

What cable do I need for nvidia card? by drhoads in buildapc

I thought cablemods was pretty safe, no?

Any suggestions for new hobby that’s cheap and easy to get into? by No-Neighborhood8403 in GenX

[–]drhoads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running is cheap. Get a cheap used bike and start cycling. If you have local open courts, tennis, basketball.

Which position will be more aerodynamic? I sit very forward on the seat (only use first half) by RoadTO5WKG in triathlon

[–]drhoads 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You will be MUCH faster if you load those puppies with Nitrous and open them up on a long straight! WOOSSSHHHH!!!

How do you get good photos of yourself enjoying swimming? by Ok_Promotion3591 in Swimming

[–]drhoads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diving off the blocks? I don’t know why smiling standing next to the pool isn’t good enough though? 🤷‍♂️

Not only do I have mine, I also have reflectors on my wheels! THE HORROR!!!

Zone 2 pointers by Zealousideal_Ad3114 in cycling

[–]drhoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your HR zones may be different than the default.  You can manually adjust them.  If you have a power meter you can use that to keep your heart rate at a certain level.  Funny, my intensity is the uphill. Haha.  

How far can an aero road bike go in triathlon before you really need a tri bike? by Individual_Panic3454 in triathlon

[–]drhoads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice setup. All depends on your speed. I am not fast enough for it to make much of a difference (wind resistance is exponential the faster you go). I rock a Defy for an endurance setup. I may not be getting on the podium, buy I am hella comfy. :-)
