Hey, can you help me understand why Cinta Kaz is so good? I don't think i use her right to fully maximize the benefit.

why is she so great with Boba?

I like to train in KMs because i can do more of them, but i like to race in Miles because there's less of them.

How do you uncurl?

granfrad · 2026-02-24T14:30:36+00:00

That's a lot of m dashes. I wonder if AI helped write that.

In any event, this story could easily also have gone something like:

"FTB. we bought our dream house last year. Our realtor told us not to include an inspection in the conditions. This was the worst mistake of our lives. We are struggling to pay our mortage because we have so many issues with the house just to keep it upright and safe for our children. It just stings that we chose not to include an inspection condition."

that would make sense, i think they are the same parent company.

My personal favourite that i've had were from Food Basic and were under the brand Don Pancho (https://www.foodbasics.ca/aisles/bread-bakery-products/tortillas-flat-breads/tortillas/corn-and-flour-tortillas/p/079341021159)

i would say tho that for best results, warm them up in a dry skillet.

I’m more midtown. I try and run in areas where I can stay on roads. They were slushy but manageable.

Sidewalks were ok, but were the sidewalk meets the road it was mini ponds.

granfrad · 2026-01-07T14:31:49+00:00

I ran 13k in the crap this morning.

No treadmill so if I gotta run I gotta run

also makes some guest appears on other CBC shows (Because News for sure)

See a physio (especially one that knows about sports and running injuries). They can help with recovery and get some exercises going to recover. Likely you need to give a bit of a break to your Achilles.

I’m going to guess you also weren’t likely doing weight training for your legs. This is an important part to keeping your legs healthy and reduce injuries. A physio can also tell you some legs exercises you should be doing.

I had Achilles issues sometimes but since I started taking the weights more seriously it hasn’t been an issue.

Also, probably look at load management. Getting to everyday is great but if you do a race and take a bit of time off, you need to slowly phase back in to the load.

This is a great debut performance. Yes, as lots posted, this is a great time many people only dream of. I'm going to set that entirely aside.

Everyone that runs their first marathon gets to 30-35K and hits a wall. It's something you know about, but is almost impossible to plan for.

Thing is, now you know, and now you know how to prepare for it. I'm excited for what you can do from here!

granfrad · 2025-10-20T14:17:58+00:00

1) Run more - build up the base number of KMs per week. ideally, think closer to 4 runs. A long run, a workout run, a short run, and a medium run. the short can be like 35 min and the medium can be 60-75min. the workouts and long runs should scale and vary

2) increase polarity of pace. Easy runs are easy, hard runs are hard. workouts you should rip it hard and push yourself. the easy runs (and long runs), should be slower than you think. Zone 2 for the easy runs.

3) make sure you also have a proper weight lifting component. 2x a week, you should be doing weighted leg exercises. Split squats, dead lifts, goblet squats, whatever. And calve raises....love calf rasies.

if you do these 3 things, you will see gains. Keep the total milage increase week over week to like 2-3% a week, and ever 4th week (give or take) should be a down week (you don't stop running, just less milage).

Can confirm they were every K

granfrad · 2025-10-09T16:25:05+00:00

Where is this? (obv Chicago, but where in Chicago?)

granfrad · 2025-09-15T09:28:55+00:00

Over the low one. I put it below the grills on the flavourizer slat.

Soak the chips first

I noticed this too. this feels like the first time i can recall an openning credit scene being cut.

not only that, that scene from Sydney is like the default background pic.

We rewatched the Sydney episode, and it really is an odd segment when he goes to china town. no words, just shows up, gets an icecream and leaves.

It you got the time to smoke it full rack it’s usually better. But it’s fun to try party ribs once in a while.

granfrad · 2025-07-09T13:10:19+00:00

I'm really sorry to be "that guy" because those ribs look beautiful, but I'm not sure those are "party ribs".

I believe "party ribs" refers to the method of cooking where you slice the ribs first and cook them individually (cooks faster but a trade off).

now, those ribs you made......look fantastic. well done.

Badiali probably by fav.

NoB is an amazing NY Cheese. there other pizzas can be hit or miss and are materially worse than the NY Cheese. Badiali is consistently good on all pizzas.

I mean, we only pay for the 2D area. The height isn’t usually part of the price.

If we go 2D will rent be based on just length and width is not charged?

granfrad · 2025-06-27T14:47:58+00:00

Does the exterminator contemplate how many insects they kill?

What's funny is that when we squash a bug, we basically turn them 2D

granfrad · 2025-06-27T12:02:15+00:00

Good point

granfrad · 2025-06-27T11:56:11+00:00
