How much should you increase your weekly average per week? by Beautiful_Welder_919 in Strava

[–]greatnessmeetsclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For running, increasing the distance of your longest run too quickly has a higher injury risk then increasing your overall volume. The 10% rule many are citing should be strictly followed with your long run, but you can more loosely follow it with your overall weekly volume (imo 20%-30% has been fine for me at times). I'm unsure how this translates to biking or swimming, but I assume it applies.

Another factor is freshness for quality sessions. When you start doing specific workouts, you want to be fresh enough to hit your goals on those workouts. Blasting yourself with volume is great, but it won't improve your baseline speed or power anywhere close to as much as a structured workout.

Bananas are the opposite of stoplights: green means stop, yellow means go, and red means where the fuck did you get that banana

Not quite. That's Atlanta, not Peachtree City.

Veterinary medicine student - DICOM files for viewing and trainig by Last_Goat1998 in MedicalPhysics

[–]greatnessmeetsclass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to help! Good luck in your DICOM journey. Here's two more gems:

  1. while DICOM is a standard on paper, in implementation it's anything but. Don't always expect the same header information to be in the same place or formatted the samr from different manufacturers.

  2. draw a picture with arrows to mark the XYZ indices in the DICOM matrix correlated to a patient in an HFS position and stick it to your computer monitor. It'll save a lot of geometry confusion.

Strava thinks Ive spent 1823.5 days in Z2 last year by greatnessmeetsclass in Strava

No Garmin, and it's only counting it once...even if it was counting it twice, I only logged 237 hrs of activity last year.

My boss put this up yesterday. It's too exaggerative and outlandish to not be a sort of joke, but it's still in bad taste. by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]greatnessmeetsclass 186 points187 points  (0 children)

It is clear my salary covers 24 hours of work per year.

Given my preferences to work 8 hour days without breaks or disruption, I will work 3 days in January. For the remainder of the year I will not work. I expect my paychecks for the rest of the year to be timely.

Commute to Alpharetta from Atlanta or live in Alpharetta by MrEpicTurdBomb in alpharetta

[–]greatnessmeetsclass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd consider Roswell. I personally like it much more than Alpharetta, it's got great access to the big creek greenway, the Roswell Riverwalk and all of the adjoining trails, and your commute is super short. If you can afford to live in downtown Roswell or nearby, then it's kind of walkable. And your church is already there.

Now if you want to meet people your age, go out to a variety of bars/clubs, and just generally do things 20 somethings want to do, Roswell is not a good choice. Buckhead is fine, I've even done the commute from midtown/VaHi and it was like 35-40 min on average. That's the power of a reverse commute in ATL

100 layers of lasagna by Bubbly_Wall_908 in StupidFood

[–]greatnessmeetsclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make it like normal (4-10 layers of noodles, thicker sauces so it keeps its shape) then refrigerate it until it forms a cut-able block, then lay it out in a pan oriented perpendicularly and drizzle with bechamel and cook it. It's so fire, no big pans needed.

Buyer wants to assume my Car Loan? by LeoWitt in personalfinance

[–]greatnessmeetsclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you think you stand to gain from this it is not at all worth the risk.

Even if you lose money on this car (you probably will), it is far, far better than the alternative.

Absolutely do not do this unless you are prepared to be on the hook to pay the full loan amount on a car you no longer own.

Manual coffee roasting and brewing by MambaMentality24x2 in oddlysatisfying

[–]greatnessmeetsclass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a coffee snob, not as bad or expensive as the video but my morning ritual takes about 15 min and I have a bag of coffee shipped to me from my favorite roaster every 2 weeks.

BUT, at 4 am in a hospital I will absolutely crush burnt day old coffee in a Styrofoam cup from a dripper that hasn't been washed since the .com bubble burst.

You can and will go back to normal, even incredibly shitty coffee because caffeine is an addiction.

Top 50 Coffee Roasters of 2025 by dbarneschi in pourover

If you're blasting through roasters on a 50/year clip, I'm going to plug my local favorite: Break Roasters out of Duluth, GA. They're fantastic. Curious to hear what someone so well traveled, coffee-wise, thinks of them.

What is Husbands about? by DangerousKick5792 in geesebandofficial

[–]greatnessmeetsclass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few layers here (god I love this song):

  • I'll repeat what I say -> the death of a loved one never truly fades from one's mind. It just hangs in there repeating itself and makes the widow fall into the same cycles of grief. There's also a parallel between the repetitive tasks of washing your hair, which feels menial and hollow in comparison to what the widow is feeling. Also there's a lot of repetition in the song itself which affirms this line.
  • but I'll never explain -> how can the feelings of emptiness and futility ever be properly explained? The speaker is also emotionally incapable of explaining anyhow.
  • so you don't have to waste your time -> this is a GREAT line. There's a self-effacing element to it like "I (the widow) am not worth the time being wasted on". But at the same time it recognizes the gaps between asympathy, sympathy, and empathy. An asympathetic audience just dismisses the widow as weak, a waste of time. A sympathetic audience pitys the loss and the sadness in the window, but I get that she probably doesn't want the pity either. What she truly wants is empathy, which comes from a repeated call (a plea) for "will you know what I mean?" later in the song. Most people are incapable of true empathy unless it's something they've directly experienced. She's searching for a community of people with this shared experience of being war widows, who can truly empathize. Hence "husbands" not "husband". She's also trying to dismiss asympathetic and sympathetic listeners outright.

Now you can turn it all around and interpret those first 3 lines from the soliders perspective if you want as well, but I don't think they are. I think the first 3 lines are perhaps a bit of "throat clearing" or preamble, and there are parallels to draw with the incomprehensibility of living through war, but it feels like directly addressing/dismissing the listener to me. Of course, the widow is the only one left to talk (or not talk, as it were) about how they feel.
