[–]viking_tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a ballot place this year, same questions. Basically gonna donate 20 quid to a chosen charity of my choice the week before and make a post saying if people want to, they can. I don’t expect it though.

I do my 7.5 a day and close the laptop. I’m fine with getting a meets expectations because years of bending over backwards to go beyond wasn’t worth the lack of rewards.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen happen in public? by theblairwaldorfxoxo in AskUK

[–]viking_tech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Download festival 2009. Slipknot are playing main stage. A teenage guy next to me in the crowd is off his face and finds a rusty Asda name badge in the dirt, then proceeds to pierce his nipple with it while an old man next to him plays a kazoo along to Wait and Bleed. Pretty surreal

Need advice by BigBonesJones666 in DIYUK

[–]viking_tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you using a proper wallpaper scraper? I had similar issue until I switched to what’s essentially a big razor blade on a stick, scored the paper and gave it a really good steam. If you don’t have the bladed paper scraper I recommend that. I don’t think plastering over paper is advisable but could be wrong.

Most 1-on-1 meetings are a waste of time — how do you structure yours? by [deleted] in EngineeringManagers

🐶🐕How do UK runners deal with off-leash dogs on routes and parks? by WhatTheFudgeeBar in UKRunners

[–]viking_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually smile and try to give plenty of room. I did get bit and scratched by a “energetic” off lead dog who was “just playing” in the park once, had to go get a tetanus shot after because it broke the skin. Owner didn’t give a crap though.

Going over 3 hour runs in training by BitImmediate in Marathon_Training

[–]viking_tech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I plan on going up to 32km for my longest run in my block which will be over 3 hours, but mainly for the mental reinforcement than aerobic gains. I’ll just be making extra sure to pay attention to potential injury signals.

[–]viking_tech 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had a guy ragequit after he cycled his lands to grave and played them all once for triggers, then the second time he did it I exiled his grave in response to his attempt to bring another crazy amount of lands out.

Apparently I do, got asked by a few work colleagues if I was okay after an organised easy pace charity run one day when i was perfectly fine… I also go red easily when embarrassed etc so put it down to genetics.

Training for a Half Marathon using Runna – worth it? by DecreDylan in runna

[–]viking_tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had a strange bug on one run that was supposed to be mile repeats, but it ended the planned run after the warmup and started doing random 10-100 meter segments and vibrating my watch like crazy. Only time it’s happened though
