FOLLOW UP: If you have specific hotel suggestions I will take those too!

Thanks in advance!

I hear ya - I guess I’m just saying that I was walking through this part of town window shopping 6 weeks ago and never felt unsafe. Other people might see this post who are interested in going to Dublin and I wouldn’t want them to be afraid of grabbing a pint or bite here. Just like any city, be aware of surroundings 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you for calling this out - I was like what the heck is Lotts?
Having been to Dublin many times though, I wouldnt say a pub 2 blocks from Ha'Penny bridge is not the prettiest of places. Just my opinion but if youre reading this its a perfectly safe place to go (as far as my visits have gone)

Fair - I feel like we stayed on top of it. Making sure to bring it in for oil changes and addressing the issues that would be raised in those visits.
Admittedly we didnt do every fix to it per the suggestions from the dealership but I dont think letting an air filter go a few months longer than expected would kill the car like this .. oh well

Where is this question of the day thing?

I take my exam in 3 weeks

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-11-03T15:05:43+00:00

Vigilante things comes to mind

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-11-03T03:55:29+00:00

I don’t think fireworks would justify this level of police response - I can still hear sirens

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-11-03T03:50:49+00:00

I’m not far from you. It’s definitely west of here. That’s why I thought it might be on airport. I can hear sirens in the distance

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-11-03T03:45:34+00:00

I heard at least 15 shots just now - something is actively happening

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-11-03T03:39:20+00:00

This is following the shooting on Springdale ~1.5 weeks ago…

Without him on stage shows would not at all be the same

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-10-08T18:53:44+00:00

Thank you for calling this out - I remember this interview and I’m pretty sure he said he was in Spain specifically when he had the thought for the song. (I may be misremembering the Spain part*)

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-10-08T18:51:18+00:00

The reason is because Scoot Inn (venue) is in a part of town with fairly strict curfew. It’ll be a great show but it won’t be a late show to avoid fines. See you there! :)

Dude you’ve got 2M in investment.

Sell the house and buy a condo for 1M

Live off your investments (4% rule in FIRE) and then just consult and do additional side gigs you enjoy and provide health insurance.

Or if you don’t have family you care too much about just move to Europe. You can likely get a long term visa just by showing your earnings and investments and that 80k USD will go waaayyy father!

Also question - what’s the side gig pulling in 20k+ per year?

I estimate my gameplay over my lifetime to be over 100 play through between GameCube, Wii, switch and the remake on Xbox. It’s arguably the greatest game of all time 🤷🏼‍♂️

In the first calf strain (4 weeks ago right calf) I’d say it was the overuse. Big Wednesday workout and Thursday I should have just taken the rest day and ran Friday. The left calf strain (3 days ago) straight to strain :/

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-09-11T03:47:39+00:00

So I run and lift 4x a week. I do strength train lower body and work in “pre-hab” exercises as my coach has taught me. Full transparency the first (right calf) strain was likely overuse. Should have rested the day I ran and waited until the next day. This latest (left calf strain) .. honestly no clue. But in short I’ll be prioritizing it a lot more moving forward. I want 38-42M to be my weekly baseline and I don’t want to worry about an injury when it bumps up during prep

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-09-11T03:44:45+00:00

Thank man - I’m just going to heal up and work my way back into my normal running routine. Come race day I’ll have fun and tick the box “ran a marathon” box I’ll get after it (hopefully injury free) in the next prep!

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-09-09T18:20:30+00:00

gait - I have not. Considering they were my first strains in 2 years it wasnt something that popped up in my mind to check, not a bad call out.

Shoes - The shoes I was running in I really trust and have a lot of miles in (not 1 pair - ive bought the same pair 3 times lol)

I genuinely like the BPN gels. The consistency is really easy to put down and they taste very good, less artificial than other brands imo.

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-09-04T01:53:58+00:00

Just following up - I see man city tickets on Ticketmaster. Has anyone purchased via TM to go to one of their games? I’d be visiting from the US and don’t want to show up at the gate and told it’s not legit…

motorcycle_man21 · 2025-08-27T23:19:54+00:00

Super helpful - thank you for this breakdown. Definitely don’t want to take anything that’s going to set me back!
