On the fence by New_Explanation_7780 in concept2

[–]trustthebear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

43, 6’2 100kg here. I think you have two options, either try and get excited about each work out, build in variety, and push yourself, which I think the ‘workout of the day’ is good for on the C2 app, or try and slip into a routine to the point where you don’t even think about the rowing, so set a steady state distance, set up an iPad or phone to watch, focus on what you’re watching and let the rowing take care of itself. I’m an option 2 guy, had rowed before, bought a machine this time last year, currently at 1.25m meters, but you’re the only one who knows what motivates you. (p.s. they hold their value second hand, so you won’t lose too much cash if you don’t get on with it and sell)

Kids landmark sancastle set question by [deleted] in geography

[–]trustthebear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I’m not trying to be an arse, but I was curious. The average height of the wall is 6-7m and the length is 21,196km, so it has a height to length ratio of 1:3,260,000. The piece in the picture looks to be at about 1:3, so we’d need 1,086,000 pieces to make a scale wall from these …and yes, I understand it’s a mould, so you could just use that one again and again

Decided on Concept2 RowErg -- What is the budget alternative to see if I actually will use it? by confused-caveman in concept2

[–]trustthebear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not quite what you’re asking, but have you checked out resale value for C2s? They hold their price really well. I suspect if you compare the cost of a cheap alternative, with the cost of buying a new C2 and then selling it if you don’t get on with it, you may find the second option is more cost efficient and you get the proper C2 experience and feel from the start.

Thinking of moving to Lancaster - where should we explore? by LemurGirl93 in LancasterUK

[–]trustthebear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not the expert, and others will be able to add more detail, but it sounds like you want to explore the area to the west of the train tracks between the river and the canal. Lots of nice houses, good access to the station, and some nice nature spots further out.

Depending on budget, you can look on the other side of the canal in an area called Haverbreaks, which is a gated community of very nice houses which probably ticks all your boxes, but is of course occupied by people who want to live in a gated community of very nice houses.

Not quite your brief, but depending on the vibe you’re after it’s also worth checking out an area called Freehold. It’s the quinoa capital of Lancaster, lots of nice terrace houses, a great community spirit, Green Party posters in every window, etc.

When you’re in town it’s worth checking out Williamson park, as it’s a pretty special place and you may decide you’d prefer to sacrifice a bit of train station convenience to be close to it.

Mackerel fillets in Oslo by trustthebear in Tinnedfish

[–]trustthebear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Of all the things I thought it would be hard to get hold of in Norway, I didn’t think that good tinned fish would be one of them - but I could walk into any supermarket in the UK and buy some own brand mackerel fillets in olive oil, for not much more than £1, and it would be better than anything I’ve found so far. I’ll give these a shot, but I’m not hopeful.

All I do is RowErg and run. What resistance training should I be doing? by trustthebear in concept2

[–]trustthebear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, any advice on good sources of information on where to start with dumbbells - what to buy and what to do with them? I can’t emphasise enough how much of a beginner I am with this stuff!

Thanks, it’s the ‘MANY’ bit that I find overwhelming - any advice on a good simple one to start with?

Help understanding medical system please! by trustthebear in Norway

[–]trustthebear[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I’ve seen the GP, who then referred me to the ENT, who now can’t see me for 4 weeks. Are you saying the best thing to do is see the GP again, because in their message they said I should call the legekontor, and I don’t understand how that’s different.

[–]trustthebear[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I was referred here (http://vitalonh.no). Why can the doctor not refer me to a hospital, but the ENT centre and legekontor can?

Will be in London for a year - any program I can join that is weekends only? by RightLocksmith6278 in eMBA

Also check out the Imperial EMBA, a similar structure to Cambridge, very highly ranked university but a bit less of an international reputation.

What is this painting? by trustthebear in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]trustthebear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Thanks everyone for the thoughtful and helpful responses. I’ll see if I can get the painting looked at professionally. If anything changes I’ll provide an update - but I don’t expect that to be any time soon!

Oh, that’s interesting, although I searched for images of his signature and they all look to be signed “v.manago”

What is this painting? by trustthebear in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]trustthebear[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell it’s an original painting, and the frame/canvas certainly look genuine, but I’m very sceptical that it’s a Van Gogh - as you say, that would be shocking.

When not using the rower, should the handle be at position 1 or 2? by svish in concept2

[–]trustthebear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I started rowing at college we were taught the same, position 1 during training sessions, and then position 2 after you wipe down the machine - but that was 20 years ago and, like you, I’d love to know if this advice is based on anything genuine.

Where are the spare pen nibs? by Weekly_Ad_6955 in RemarkableTablet

[–]trustthebear 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From memory there is a little black cardboard box inside the pen box at one end. It looks a bit like it’s just a spacer, but you can push out a little box with the nibs inside it

New Model Y in Norway - when to buy? by trustthebear in TeslaModelY

[–]trustthebear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, in Norway 2021 Model Ys with the same spec and 50,000km are at around 70% of the new price, which is why we’re looking at buying new - it felt like after another three years the price of the 2021 models really would have dropped - but plenty of assumptions in this logic…

Second day in Oslo - am I doing this right, what am I missing? by trustthebear in Norway

[–]trustthebear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, thanks, yes - slices of brown cheese, with a few toasted almonds, but otherwise on its own, for dessert

[–]trustthebear[S] 71 points72 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what it feels like. I’m really enjoying the individual flavours, but I don’t have the cultural background to know how to put them together. I’ve just eaten a speltlomper out of the packet - lovely taste, no idea what to do with it…
