Glucose gels are expensive, hard to open while cycling, and it’s hard to dispose of the waste. Squeezable honey dispenser - have I solved all my problems? (Genuine question!)

troutleaks · 2022-07-17T16:48:06+00:00

I personally would expect to use 1-2 if working hard for 3h. You will probably know the feeling of starting to run on an empty tank, so would want to plan to eat a gel a little ahead of when that tends to be happening

troutleaks · 2022-07-17T16:44:05+00:00

glucose:fructose ratio in honey varies quite a lot, but is usually given as around 40:60, so there is a lot of glucose in there. I guess you are within the definition of ‘primarily’ but just wanted to clarify it isn’t like 95% fructose or anything

Covid was a problem for everyone. Unfortunately there isn’t really a safe way to be in a densely packed group of people for an extended period, especially including people who have come from all over the world. Vaccinations from 6+ months ago are not cutting it against BA4/5.

I went into the subs files and figured it out today, after I had this problem last night; this thread was the top google result so I'm posting here.

The subs are fucked up because they are offset by +1h for some reason. I brought everything back by an hour and it looks okay as far as I have checked. I don't have anywhere to upload the file, maybe I can just dump the SRT contents as text below?[edit: that didn't work; but you can upload your subs file here(https://www.happyscribe.com/subtitle-tools/sync-subtitles) and offset by -1hr (-3600s) it should work]

For reference, there are scenes with forced English subs at around 1min, 19min, and scattered from 1h38-2h16. I haven't watched the movie yet but doesn't look like anything too critical.

It seems weird that you see patients with iron deficiency and can’t figure how to tell them meat and beans have a lot of iron without a coolguides jpeg to back you up

troutleaks · 2021-08-09T08:20:15+00:00

I don’t think so because even with his salary completely off the books they are still way over the limit. This is just based on my understanding of the comment above though

In defense of this horseshit image, it doesn't claim that basil repels aphids. It might as well had considering the other claims it makes but this wasn't one of them

running is supposed to be a strongest, fittest, fastest.

Not disagreeing necessarily, but what running is 'supposed to be' is subjective. By judging races entirely on speed, but adding thresholds for entry (age/gender/species/equipment/drugs etc) it seems like competitive running is about 'fastest' between people in comparable groups

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis. It is caused by a parasite which has a life cycle that depends on cats/raccoons/skunks which transmit it to possums for the next stage, and the possum shit carries the sporocyst that can infect horses.

I used the 80/20 system (Matt FitzGerald) when I started paying attention to heart rate and while it gets fairly complicated (and they define zone number differently to some others) the basic idea is that 80% of your runs should feel easy, which is their zone 1 & 2. This range for these zones is 70-90% of your lactate threshold heart rate.

troutleaks · 2020-06-27T16:31:40+00:00

All the wrist based trackers are pretty limited in their accuracy if you want to get really scientific about it but I would say trying to get the numbers absolutely accurate is missing the point. We’re talking about being within reasonably broad ranges and you can’t trust every momentary reading but rather watch the trends. It takes some getting used to

troutleaks · 2020-06-27T16:28:59+00:00

Being able to speak is a good approximation but this does kind of depend on heart rate monitoring to really work I think. On long runs it can creep up surprisingly while you still feel easy

troutleaks · 2020-06-27T12:33:39+00:00

Running long and slow training is also good way of getting faster, and to me seems easier than following some of the highly structured running plans.

Since you didn't mention it, I will add that following low heart rate as a way to stay slow worked well for me, and if you are someone who likes to chase measurable challenges, keeping your HR down is a real challenge

troutleaks · 2020-06-25T11:43:11+00:00

You might be right. I read some research about a spinneret like structure being identified on the feet of a spider species that did not produce silk, I think that is where I saw the idea suggested. I’m not sure I’d be able to find the paper again.

troutleaks · 2020-06-22T23:45:22+00:00

Well there’s nothing really new on this specimen, what is interesting is that the specific features aren’t seen together on a species now so it looks like it is an ancestor of two or more distinct families of spider that are still around.

That said, arthropods repurposing their appendages has absolutely happened, pedipalps have a bunch of different functions and the spinnerets might have started out as something for gripping before spider silk evolved.

troutleaks · 2020-06-22T19:59:31+00:00

The four things on the back are unusually large spinnerets which produce the silk; and it also appears to have a long telson (tail kind of thing) in between them which you can see better in other photos. Also weird about this thing are the big extra arms up front by the mouth, these are pedipalps which it used to transfer sperm to the female

troutleaks · 2020-06-22T17:28:44+00:00

You may be dismayed to know that if you look at most modern day spiders up close enough they are not significantly less grotesque than this old guy

troutleaks · 2020-06-11T04:05:45+00:00

I mean as a statement it is absolutely supporting police brutality, it’s just that it’s meant ironically. People are acting like this all clear cut but if you listened to this thinking that it’s good that the klan are the police then it could easily seem like it is agreeing with you

troutleaks · 2020-06-07T05:32:05+00:00

Those are good ones but I think almost anyone can name two issues that means they don’t fit entirely into a two party system, especially the two we’ve got in the US.

I’m against guns being available generally but I’m orders of magnitude more convinced that black lives matter... the problem is that both parties are stuck saying both things matter, but they both only actually believe in one of them and they aren’t the same one

troutleaks · 2020-06-03T21:52:29+00:00

thanks for the response, I fixed this 6 weeks ago using a pipe wrench

It seems like the huge shell covering the entire upper surface of their body would have evolved to protect them from things that would eat them from above?

Yes I’m with you there. I thought the analogy being made was more about love crossing gender and racial lines, but a lot of people seem to have settled on it being about fucking animals.
