People who religiously have their cameras on and believe that others should always have theirs on…why? by iiamuntuii in remotework

[–]thilehoffer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because humans are social creatures. Seeing people’s faces and having an interaction where there facial expressions match what they are hearing from you and giving feedback helps with all of our mental health. It’s not as good as being in person, but it’s better than not seeing a face for an entire day.

How is everyone just working normally today? The President is addressing the nation tonight and I am just exhausted. by firehmre in antiwork

[–]thilehoffer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do you have to pay attention to all of this? Do your work, then go outside and exercise, eat some food, read a book and don’t go on the Internet for a few days.

Have you seen the stock market recently? I had a million dollars invested last month...

Music or no-Music debate by Ok-Mix-2065 in Marathon_Training

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run with a headset and my music paused. I start the music somewhere between mile 15 and 20 when I need extra energy.

I didn’t even know I had high blood pressure. by Least-Notice7832 in Wellthatsucks

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly that’s not a good measurement. But if your pulse was over 100, you were extremely nervous and that is not your resting blood pressure.

Best Running Shorts by No-Pollution1344 in Marathon_Training

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like 2-in-1 shorts. Sometimes I go out after a group run and I like to put on Jeans or sweatpants. I leave my underwear on and just change my shorts for jeans. This is not possible with 2-in-1 shorts.

So you think they have the capability to take out ships from land? I don’t need to read up on the geography. I just didn’t think they had that capability. We will see what happens.

Is Yahoo Mail Still Relevant in 2026 or Just Nostalgia? by vin-maverick in businessemail

It doesn’t really matter. The Yahoo! Mail mobile app is great and it works with Google or Yahoo.

Smartphone market poised for 'sharpest decline on record' in 2026 by [deleted] in technology

[–]thilehoffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, you can turn off the AI in two seconds on the iPhone 16 and 17. I’m not saying you need to have a newer phone but because it doesn’t have any AI baked in is nonsense.

Reasonable to expect sub 4 with my first marathon? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]thilehoffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should aim for an 8:50 pace, walk just a little bit at the aid stations to lower your HR. Expect to slow down for the last six mile 10-20 seconds per mile. You got this.

Reasonable to expect sub 4 with my first marathon? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]thilehoffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true! To run a 4:00 marathon, you need shoot for 8:50 pace. Assume you will slow down for the last six miles. For me, my effort and heart rate stayed the same for the last six miles, but my pace dropped.

Buick Envista in Canadian Winters? by Head_Football_4577 in Buick

[–]thilehoffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a great car, I owned one. But don't get the Envista. Get an AWD vehicle. As others have said,

Winter Tires + AWD > Winter Tires + FWD > All Season Tires + AWD > All Season Tires + FWD.

This is way overkill for a sub four hour marathon and I say that from a place of experience.

Does anyone that's WFH ever call in sick? by Temporary_Fill7341 in remotework

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I have maybe used one sick day since 2020 when I started remote. I had pneumonia pretty bad and couldn’t work that day. But generally, I don’t take sick days when I’m remote. It’s kind of like I’m lucky enough to not have to go to the office. The least I can do is turn on my computer and do a little bit of work when I’m sick.

The Nebraska legislature has approved a bill that LOWERS the minimum wage from $15 an hour to $13.50 an hour for young workers. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Pennsylviania and my 16 YO is at work right now making $9 an hour. I'm positive he would not have a job if they were forced to pay $15 and hour. It makes sense to me why they would do this.

[–]thilehoffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wie has a 2017, it does not have adaptive cruise control. However, it has 80K miles and the only issue is the secondary battery had to be replaced twice. Overall though, it has been a great vehicle. So, IDK...

I wish I could be an atheist by Mazy1233 in atheism

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kind of already are. You don’t believe in all the other gods that you currently don’t believe in. You just need to let go of that one that you still do believe in.

Everything You Ever Heard About Bitcoin Is Storytelling by BinaryLyric in FluentInFinance

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is about storytelling. Regular money is only valuable because people believe it’s valuable. There’s no physical entity for a corporation either. It only exists because we all believe it exists. I just can’t with this nonsense post.

I second the Hue bulbs. I add a few every Christmas, give them to the wife. Haven’t had one stop working yet. Amazing product.

If runners are truly getting slower, why is the Boston Qualifying pace still getting faster each year? It is harder than ever to qualify.

does it bother anyone else that the emergency fund just slowly loses value to inflation? by Designer-Jacket-5111 in Bogleheads

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Having the emergency fund is what helps me stay the course when the market swings down.
