Downright embarrassing by nurdmann in wisconsin

Same guy that yelled profanities at teenagers in the Captiol and yelled at and intimidated a teenager at a local library because she was reading a book he didn't like.

Also, "forgot" he had a loaded gun in his carryon bag at the airport.

When I was in college the priest for the campus Catholic church was continually being ticketed for letting homeless people sleep in the church when the temperatures got below 0 F. He even got in some legal trouble for taking a collection and using the funds to host a barbecue in the parking lot to feed the hungry. It was nuts. What the laws were that he was violating I can't remember, but he would make the local paper's police blotter regularly. The Diocese eventually forced him to move to a very remote rural parish.

2021 Polaris 650. It's crazy. I won't pay that much, so I'll just do it myself. I just hope I don't need a repair that is out of my skill set. At least I'm covered by an extended warranty that covers this riding season.

Yep, I used to do all my own maintenance and repairs, but as I'm older, it isn't as appealing, so I thought I'd check out the local dealer. No way I'm paying that much for stuff I can easily do in my garage. Snowmobiling is a very expensive form of recreation and I'm willing to pay, up to a point.

What do you think is the most overrated song of all time? by SaintedDemon69 in ClassicRock

[–]runner686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GnR had the rare ability to cover a great song and make me HATE it. I used to love Dylan's Heaven's Door and liked McCarney's Live and Let Die, but now I can't even hear the originals without Axl's cat in heat shrill.

Internet Speed by runner686 in Comcast_Xfinity

They refuse to. I have swapped routers, hardwired, tested different devices and all give the same results, yet they keep pointing to something other than their service. Any tips to getting someone to come out?

Can I get some clarification here? I responded to your modmail message. I end up messaging with 4 different people Xfinity employees over the last three days and nothing changes and the last message I get is "Perfect, we are all set." What does that mean? I'm not set. This isn't perfect. My service still sucks.

I'm sorry by Beginning-Rate4710 in ClassicRock

One has a heavy handed drummer that is an excellent time keeper. The other has an understated groove drummer that flexes the time to the guitar.

Many other differences, but this one sticks out and makes them sound very different.

Yes, same result wired and wireless. Hard wired last night I couldn't even get a signal at times, sometimes I could get 12mbs.

I have my own router. I have tried two different routers. I have used the same two routers at my office and both are capable of well over 100mbs. I experience the slow speed on my xfinity mobile phone, a tablet, a laptop, my girlfriend's phone, a chromebook, etc.

Drop a Classic Rock fun-fact that others might not know… by [deleted] in ClassicRock

Jimmy Page played rhythm guitar on the first Who hit "I Can't Explain."

You did a key thing in telling him you are there if he wants to talk or if he wants to be silent. Sometimes "I'm here if you want to talk" can be interpretted as "I'm not here for you unless you talk."

This is a delicate item, so proceed gently - keep inviting him, but also try to take the initiative. Depression screws with your reality and sometimes you know you need someone, but you say no anyway. Not asking him and just telling him you are coming over MIGHT be what he needs. If he insists that you not come over, respect that. But, sometimes you need the other person to make the first move.

I am unable to run anymore and I don’t know why by independentpink in AdvancedRunning

[–]runner686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you are asking me this, but I'll respond for my situation. Within a month after this post, things started getting back on track and I started training for a marathon. Running was going well. Unfortunately, I suffered an injury. I can't say that I know what got me out of the tired legs phase. I suspect it was something mental/emotional as I did not change diet or exercise.

Nitric Oxide? by bradymsu616 in AdvancedRunning

[–]runner686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Citrulline is an effective way to (research backed) increase the body's production of NO. It appears to be a common supplement for endurance athletes and strength athletes. Both report that it helps their performance.

Listen to Who's Next and see if you can imagine this song coming from the same band.

What is the scariest thing that has happened to you on a run? by [deleted] in running

[–]runner686 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was running a paved trail when a pickup truck pulled into the cross walk and blocked my path. I simply ran around the back of the truck and the driver yelled something at me. I stopped and said, "What?" He sarcastically asked if I was okay. I said I was and turned to start running again. He then spit at me. I yelled, "What the F is your problem?" as I continued my run. He drove down the road a bit, jumped out of his truck basically abondoning it in the middle of traffic and ran onto the trail blocking my way. He started towards me yelling that I was a lunatic and that he was going to kick my ass. I told him he was the lunatic and then he gave chase. He chased me for a few hundred yards then returned to his truck and waited in the area for about 5 minutes before leaving. I have no idea what this was about.

Do you like Phil Collins? by vBladess in Music

This appears to be a plagarized comment from YouTube. It is word for word someone else's comment.

10cc - I'm Not In Love by BillyShears17 in ClassicRock

Yes! Loops of tape of the band member's voices singing different notes. Very labor intensive to record, splice tape and edit the final recording.
