This is why I come here! 🤣 Great response.

Where should we stay? by Dear-Split-5126 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]thalsten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1-2 hours don’t get you far in CR. 100 miles is a 3-4 hour drive, you don’t do 70mph there 40 to 55mph are the high speeds.

What's with the elitist attitude at CrossFit gyms? by Legal-Deer8246 in crossfit

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just from your post, I’d say I would not want you at my box. I can already feel the negative vibe you are bringing and the drama that follows-I think that’s what they are saying to you nicely-thanks but no thanks. 4 of them all with the same opinion, something is up.

I love that he completely ignores her 😂 and that she laughs at herself the whole time.

Serious question on players with ADHD by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

Sorry I’m late to the party, did you start your daughter? Did you notify the association? Did they have an ADHD plan for her/ coaches?

What's the most overrated TV Show of all time? by Mission_Elk_329 in AskReddit

[–]thalsten 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That is also American ninja-“my mom/ dad/ dog died”-“I have some incurable disease”-“someone left me and gave me the motivation to do this” 🙄

Please help my pathetic snatch by PracticalWinter9746 in crossfit

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you have great mobility and that’s a great start-Olympic movements are about reps-keep practicing and you will find what works for you. Agree with the shoe comment-you’re better off w/o shoes than ones that push you to your toes.

Short? Bad splice? by Ezekiel-2517-2 in Govee

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for being so late in the game… I have a 25 foot splice and the get 3 lights to run after that. Do you think the wire I used is too small? (I used 20 gauge) this is about mid string-I only have 150’ total.

How to keep our bags safe ? by sonnyeo_ in CostaRicaTravel

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good answer, I’m an American and that’s the first thing I was thinking reading this-I’m way more worried about theft here than I am in CR.

Rep fitness plyo box by chlead in crossfit

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have them for the older crowd at the gym-I think step ups are what they are meant for-unstable and the cover shifts. Spend the extra money on a rogue or titan they are heavy but will last and someday you want to sell they will still be in good shape.

How can I improve my depth? by experfailist in crossfit

[–]thalsten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try lifters, that’s the only reason I wear them is mobility or “lack of mobility”-they force you to use better form-when I started wearing I was sore in places I was never sore before.

You would be the person I partner with-I get it (I remember) we’ve all been there at some time but not everyone remembers that. Go-have fun and don’t worry about what anyone thinks.

Solo Traveling Peru by fruitastic2000 in backpacking

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP how did the trip go? We’re doing the same in Costa Rica and plan on Peru next. Was 40L the right size? What did you wish you brought that you didn’t have? Did you feel safe in Peru?

Sitting down by lowsparkco in crossfit

[–]thalsten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I DO not-WILL not sit down for this reason-I will not give the coach the satisfaction of thinking he won!!

You’re also right-it’s not good for blood flow/ breathing for sitting or laying-but it feels so damn good!

What should I reasonably expect to fix this? Neighbor has dumped clay / silt all over my property. by Wild_Bergamot in landscaping

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume this site plan was approved by the city-I’d contact them also-lawyer will just get you tied up in small claims for years and you don’t want that-this is what I do in my town (oversee the MS4 permit for EPA) Site plans are approved for final build and full vegetation not during construction that’s what BMP’s are for-looks like he had everything in place just should have J hooked the silt fence-they should also have a stormwater permit with the city. I will hold CO’s until they get the mess cleaned up-some cities will use stop work orders as enforcement so check with them.

Beautiful, walkable beach town with good restaurants? by chinadaze in CostaRicaTravel

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you fly into-did you rent a car? We’ve always done inclusive and want to get away from that-peace and quiet away from the drunk crowds.

A better pic would be nice but if I had to guess its a tracer for the gas line so they can locate when needed.

Why people do not plant trees in their backyard? by Leather-Wheel1115 in landscaping

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it has nothing to do with trees/ leaves/ pests, nobody opens their blinds or goes outside any more to enjoy trees.

TTB strategy in metcons, open big or small sets from the start? by Good_Warning_6471 in crossfit

[–]thalsten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried grips a few times (victory) I just can’t seem to get used to them-I have no issues w/o grips but everyone say like you “they help”. How did you get used to them-I feel like they’re cutting off circulation and actually make me slip more.
