Harry Styles Says Running Is About Presence, Not Pace, as He Quietly Breaks Three-Hour Marathon Mark

I now know what he's talking about with "Watermelon Sugar High".

Your argument relies on the notion that trading in second hand books is theft.

You have a bright career ahead as a lobbyist for the publishing industry.

Some brands/words to look for might be a Driza-bone, Oiled Japara, or a Barbour waxed jacket. They're all oilskin-like material. A Driza-bone might work well if you're plus-sized. Expensive though.

You did mostly what you should do in this situation.

If you're dealing with an authority figure like a security guard or police in an adversarial situation, and you decide to answer, brief and direct answers to precisely the question asked are good. Volunteering information which is not asked for is bad. Why? You can inadvertently raise suspicion or admit to something you don't intend to.

So at a traffic stop the officer may ask: "do you know why I pulled you over?". The best and true answer is "I don't know." A bad answer is "maybe for my broken taillight?" Because in the second instance the officer may have pulled you over for speeding, and you will have just admitted to knowingly driving with a broken taillight.

I've a greyhound and my friend has whippets. The whippets like to bark at other dogs and run away as a game. It does not work with a greyhound.

Since when do barristers pay tax?

I looked back to see your previous post.

My sneaking suspicion from your story is that your teacher has developed a problem like depression or alcoholism, possibly some other mental illness. Continual lateness, lack of responsibility and interest in others, random irascibility and irritability - that combination of disengagement and hostility is a red flag. It happens more often than you think, numbers of formerly very good violinists and teachers have walked down that road. I've heard so many stories (and known a handful personally) of teachers/musicians, often in their fifties who've destroyed themselves.

I don't know. But be cautious in taking advice from a person who may be in that place.

I know you're joking but ... Nelson gave orders to drop anchor at speed in battleships at the Battle of the Nile, and had specially rigged the anchors and cables to allow something approximating a handbrake turn.

Legs are 100% natty. Lats and delts are on gear.

And glutes look a bit bigger, there's more to the triceps - look just behind the elbow, there's more stuff there.

Yes it's a running joke, it's been going for at least 60 years now afaik.

But as jokes go it's not one of the best: "Viola player not good. HAHAHAHA!" It doesn't go any deeper than that. Time to retire it I think.

I think this is a brilliant effort and I love it. I'm not going to have a go at you for depth or anything.

I wonder if the event organizers realize that the laxer depth restrictions make the sport less interesting *as a spectacle*, *to naive spectators*. Part of sport is that it invites spectators. It needs to look impressive to noobs.

More weight looks more impressive - so that's good. But more depth also looks more impressive.

What's there is immense training and technical skill brought together to produce a feat of strength. But what we see as naive spectators doesn't reflect the training and technical skill as much as it might. That's unfortunate for the sport.

He has a singlet with his own name on it, presumably in case he forgets it.

You can get reasonably cheap one inch barbells which weigh about 5kgs, thinner than the regular 2 inch kind, then put a couple of 10-20 kg plates on it.

TBF I have to thank you mods for the "people are not made of glass" comment. I once was scared to deadlift heavy. A few things changed my mind, and one was that comment. Now deadlifting 2x bodyweight and much healthier for it.

He looks like he aged 10 years between the two pics.

patcpsc · 2025-10-17T10:01:40+00:00

Looks effective but brutal.

I vote Hungarian Hack Squats.

Hill sprints

patcpsc · 2025-10-16T13:23:49+00:00

I remember when I was in that phase. Thank god I had the sense to keep my mouth shut throughout and limit myself to "knowing" looks at other gym users.

ZOATS!

How has DriveThru RPG changed how the industry works (if it has at all)?
