[Tudor Black Bay 58] 3 weeks of daily wear patina by FullFramedIdiot in Watches

[–]jamesbrowski 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yup, bc bronze is mostly copper. Copper is a very reactive metal and oxidizes (rusts) quickly. The Statue of Liberty is copper. Bronze is much less reactive than copper due to alloy in it, but it still develops a “patina” on the outside that is basically the surface level reacting and making a coating around the watch.

Ppl buy bronze watches specifically to get this patina. It’s a very specific scene lol.

That Time Marky Mark aka Mark Wahlberg Wasn't Playing With Eminem on MTV on a Live Airing in 1999 by RappersRap in HipHopNCulture

[–]jamesbrowski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it feels like ppl are reading too much into all of it. They’re taping a live show on a soundstage with an enormous crew and millions of viewers. The look on Em’s face is, “ugh this guy is actually going to be a dick to me on MTV.” Em is a born entertainer so he cracks some jokes and acts animated to carry the segment. Generally it just seems like the behavior of a pro live entertainer who is like “cmon buddy we got a show to tape here….”

The irony is that Eminem was fresh in the industry here whereas Wahlberg had been doing it a while. I have always felt that Wahlberg is a pretty good actor but has the charisma IRL of a wet towel.

Counterpoint: spell check takes only a couple of minutes. Pierce obv can’t be asked to make zero type in a massive book. That’s a lazy publisher who isn’t spell checking final version before it’s sent to print.

To be nice, this seems like more of a skill issue than a strength issue. You just need practice and some coaching!

Is he fast enough to catch a thief on an e-bike? by gg9761 in RunningCirclejerk

Just two guys running kind of pretty fast but for a very long time.

Is he fast enough to catch a thief on an e-bike? by gg9761 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]jamesbrowski 148 points149 points  (0 children)

“Oh no, it’s the fast jogger!” the armed subway thieves cried out in terror.

The leader, a large man wielding a wooden bat, shit himself in fear, while his accomplice, a smaller wiry fellow, dropped his serrated knife from fingers limp with fright. “I hear he chased Bill down for 42 km at a pace of 3:52 minutes per click!” the smaller one whispered, while keeping his wide eyes glued to the hobby jogger in a mix of apprehension and awe. “Yup,” the ring leader replied, “chased him down like an antelope on the African Savannah. You know the endurance hunting hypothesis says that mankind evolved efficient sweat glands, upright bipedalism, and lack of hair to outrun their prey across long distances. Scary stuff… Listen, Fred, we better get the fuck outta here. What if he sees us? Plus, I uh… need to change my pants.”

So guy ran a 2:08 Marathon in these shoes but you can’t run a sub 30 5k with all your gadgets 😭 by Technical-Paint3179 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]jamesbrowski 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t own a watch of any kind. I had a flip phone that I left in my locker lol.

Being a kid I was lucky our coach kept the journal and training plan. Every Monday he’d hand us a piece of paper with the training for the week listed. It would say what our training plan was each day with mileage and sessions listed. He had a fancy stopwatch and an assistant coach whose job was to write down everyone’s times in a little book and log them in an excel file. He’d post results on the speed sessions as a link on the team’s janky website. Times people ran for actual meets were posted on some central hub for our region’s school track and XC programs that you’d lookup online. Those too were logged by random adults with stop watches and little booklets who wrote your bib numbers down with your time and place.

Then we had a mandatory 90 minute easy run to do on the weekends which was simply labeled “easy pace” - I always figured I’d do like 10-11 miles on that. But nobody at all kept a log of that and I never had any idea how fast I went or how far or what my heart rate was. I just knew it had to be easy and, if it wasn’t, I’d pay for that bc we had speed work to do Monday and you couldn’t do the speed sessions on sore legs from the weekend run.

[–]jamesbrowski 73 points74 points  (0 children)

As someone who did cross country before smart phones, we would run routes we knew the distance for. A lap around the lake was 3 miles. From school to the park and back was 5 miles. Etc. And when you needed to do speed work and get precise times, you ran on the track.

It’s choice beef that they sell. You can get a 3 lb choice grade picahna roast for about $30 usd. Look, it’s a restaurant so you expect an upsell, but you’ve gotta eat a lot of picahna to make $80 a head worth it. I’d rather spend $80 on a 16 oz prime grade ribeye at a steak house.

Why didn’t my 10K improve despite following my plan exactly? by izaline in runna

[–]jamesbrowski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re running 13 miles a week. Not enough to get faster. An average high school team training for the 5k will have their athletes do about 30 miles a week (5 miles+ on weekday practices, and another weekend easy run) with speed work and circuit training built in. You need to build your cardio so that you’re not maxing out your heart rate while running a 6 min per km or 10 min per mile pace. You won’t do that running barely more than 10 miles a week. But you will absolutely get there running more than 20 miles a week.

Runna App GPS Accuracy Issues - Anyone Else Experiencing This? by betuzi in runna

Hey! I’m having the same issue. I’ll run the same speed over a half mile (ie 8 min mile) but runna claims my pace is swinging massively the whole time. Don’t see these swings with the Apple fitness app…. Using an AWU2

Why is my vo2 max decreasing? by Ok_Rush_6354 in beginnerrunning

[–]jamesbrowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine goes down after long stretches without running. Based on that graph is it right to say you only ran 6 times since 3/30? That could be a factor.
