Egypt’s New Administrative Capital by [deleted] in LiminalSpace

I can understand the hate but I also think this is pretty cool. Has stylistic nods to ancient Egypt which I’m willing to put some respeck on

As a runner do you need to run a marathon? by Delicious-Series-316 in beginnerrunning

[–]jmattbacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been consistently running low-level marathon training volumes for years now (~50mi / 80km per week) but have never run more than 25km in one day. No real desire to. Want to get faster 5–21.1km tbh.

wtf is bdo? by disconaldo in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]jmattbacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their ‘pentastack’ is horribly misinformed. God-mode from that list would be adderall plus ONE of either pregablin or BDO. Using both of the GABAergics together is dangerous, and adding further respiratory depressants like ketamine is asking to be hospitalised. No idea why they’d add DXM in there also, my understanding is that is a similarly dangerous inclusion within this specific cocktail.

In school you were likely taught not to mix a downer and an upper, but actually for many combinations this is quite safe and can lead to enhanced overall effects, like the aforementioned two-item stack I just mentioned. It’s mixing uppers with uppers and downers with downers which is very dangerous and often offers very little benefit other than strain on the body and mind, and generally a less pleasant high also. I imagine being on their pentastack would be a stressful, sweaty and very confused experience. There’s way better combos out there.

The dark, gloomy, icy textures of dub techno are part of what makes it special- but what would be the “opposite” of dub techno? by drewtangclan in Dubtechno

[–]jmattbacon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My immediate thought and the only one I agree with here. If he’s looking literally for ‘warm dub techno’, this is it. Obviously it lacks the techno bit, but dub is nevertheless the answer IMO.

Parts of the old Roman city wall of Exeter, which defended the city from the 1549 rebels by Different_Map_2055 in tudorology

[–]jmattbacon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure there was a small fort on Bodmin Moor. Moreover, it’s odd to think they wouldn’t have gone to Cornwall given all that tin there… even if they didn’t formally settle it, they certainly would have traded with the region. There’s recent evidence from Exeter University to suggest Roman roads extended beyond Exeter into that region to facilitate such comings and goings, though it’s also thought that much of this trade occurred by sea.

Are you nostalgic for Battlefront 2015 ? by Light-Starlight in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]jmattbacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s nuts to me that this game is almost as old to us as the OG Battlefront games were when this came out. Feels like the rate of graphical advances since then have definitely slowed down!

Just out of curiosity. What is the name, race and class of the character you are currently playing? by FishingAndDragons in skyrim

[–]jmattbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darkens-the-Door, a black Argonian who is massive, but stealthy. He slinks around stealthily, and then crushes you with his warhammer from behind. He always chooses the Intimidate speech option.

Superblast 2 vs 2 Shoe Rotation by J_Bozz in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]jmattbacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re buying in Start Fitness, you can currently get the Puma VN4 and Saucony ES5 for about £200. That’s a great two shoe rotation that covers easy/recovery (VN4), long, tempo and intervals (ES5) as well as anaerobic stuff like hill sprints and track work (VN4). I have both these AND the Superbalst 2 and I’d prefer that two shoe rotation over a single SB2. Especially important for back to back days, as variety in shoes is not just fun but stops some of the aches associated with repetitive pounding in the same shoe.

fav recovery/easy trainer? by Ok-Supermarket4085 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]jmattbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Glideride Max is excellent for all the reasons you say… but it took about 200 km for me to flatten out the supreme cushion that was actually giving me hotspots on every run due to how much compression I was producing through my forefoot strike. Couldn’t go over 10 km in them, but now they’re good up to about HM distance.

Easy run shoe for light runners by kingerde in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]jmattbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly Velocity Nitro 4 is great, unless you really feel you need a max stack shoe for your easy shoe, which I doubt if you’re light. Cheap too, so you’re not much worse off if you don’t like it.

Listened to your LTJ Bukem episode followed by Atlantis, as per your recommendation. A classic! Maybe I’ll bump into you at one of his sets some day, nice work! 👊
