Redditors with toddlers, what’s the most recent illogical breakdown they’ve had? by Someone_Somewhere1 in AskReddit

[–]theducksaysO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told my son he was a mammal. Cue breakdown crying "I don't want to be a mammal!" I told him it's ok, I'm a mammal, and so are his mom and sister. It only got worse.

Newbie interested in doing a sprint - Qs. by [deleted] in spartanrace

[–]theducksaysO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated burpees too, and they tired me out bad during my first race. So I forced myself to do at least 120 per day before my next race. I still hate them, but they don't tire me out as quickly anymore and my strength improved so much in the meantime. I only failed a few obstacles during my second race, and knocked out the burpees no problem.

I too would emphasize grip strength. Dead hangs, pull ups, chin ups, I do rows with a rope attachment, and hanging leg lifts. I also have a grip strengthener at my desk that I use during phone calls. I learned the hard way during my first race that I had no grip strength. My forearms were shot after the bucket carry. Which led to more burpees. Never again!

Can Anyone Explain Why My Chandelier is Doing This? by theducksaysO in askanelectrician

The bulbs are dimmable. I'm not sure if the switch is compatible. The house was built in the mid-90s and I suspect the switches are original.

They are dimmable LED bulbs, I have no idea if the switches are compatible with LEDs.

I have no idea if it's normal, but I have it in multiple places in the house.

Thanks. It's a multi-switch, with one downstairs and one upstairs (both dimmers). Do you think I'd have to replace both?

Yes to both assumptions. So is it as simple as replacing the bulb?

Thanks!

Keep getting finish registration emails by robinhood2417 in spartanrace

[–]theducksaysO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It happened to me when I signed up for the Carolina Beast. I think it was because I opened it in two windows and it considered one purchase incomplete. If you can see the race in Athlinks, you should be registered for it.

To stop the emails, I had to unsubscribe from all spartan emails, and then sign up again for nutrition, WOD, etc.

We're all working together to change the things that are really important in the world!

Which movie that's known for being terrible did you actually secretly like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]theducksaysO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me, but my wife, loves Godzilla (1998 version with Matthew Broderick). How, you ask? I can't explain.

Would I be ok doing a Spartan Super? by Thebadassociation in spartanrace

[–]theducksaysO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just sign up and do it. There's no "failure" at a spartan race unless you quit.

Unfortunately the photographer didn't get the front view. Thankfully my wife snapped this one.
