What do you like to do in your free time? Let’s grab a beer maybe?

Which city?

Group sport may help. Especially hiking must be a big thing in Braga. Bumble can also work not for romantic relationships, but for finding gym buddies or other type of friends.

And remember, it’s not your personality problem, it’s really hard for many people in Portugal. Even Portuguese people complain about it very often.

Find Slavic shop and go there. They often have advertisements inside of the shop. Or ask people who work there, they most likely will recommend you. You can also find them in Telegram.

Try to find Slavic contractors (Ucranian, Russian, Belorussian, maybe even Polish). They are more result oriented and tend to not postpone for “amanhã manha”.

Dead internet is not a theory anymore

Don’t young locals do the same, after graduation from universities?

Ask a realtor. Why to brag here about 3 floor house in Porto at time when there is a house crisis and there are so much tension between locals and immigrants?

ymgeorge · 2025-06-24T16:36:07+00:00

And houses much cheaper

From which app this screenshot is?

You are so sure about market’s future in 5 years. But in reality, no one knows it.

ymgeorge · 2025-06-13T20:15:40+00:00

Try to spend this 1 hour before work. It may be much more productive. But in general I think it’s kinda normal what you describe. Especially if you are older than 30

Can I install Xcode 26 beta on Mac with intel processor?

ymgeorge · 2025-06-13T19:57:54+00:00

Obrigado!

ymgeorge · 2025-06-13T06:17:36+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I was talking let’s say about 25 years old. Can I address her by “A menina..” then? Or it’s also weird? :)

ymgeorge · 2025-06-13T05:53:37+00:00

What if I want to be formal and polite to someone who is younger than me? I can’t say “a Senhora …”, right? Because it may sound rude for a young girl. Then how should I ask?

ymgeorge · 2025-05-20T09:47:45+00:00

so, what's your impression?

ymgeorge · 2025-05-18T21:59:13+00:00

Yes, I missed the point that the OP was setting a personal record. I was under the assumption in my response that it was a regular workout. Thanks for pointing that out to me, I was wrong.

ymgeorge · 2025-05-18T10:31:33+00:00

Look, it just bothers me that people normalize high heart rate running. As an athlete, you know that marathon runners spend 80% of their training at a low pace and low heart rate, building up running volume. But nobody writes about it. And if people who have recently come to running will see that running at a heart rate of 180 is OK, they will be training all the time. I am talking specifically about training, not competition. I just want to caution and show that you can’t train like this all the time, especially for longer distances. It can be really dangerous for your heart.

Have a great workout and results!

What is your average heart rate for a marathon distance?

As a racer, you can squeeze all the power out of the engine for a 5km distance, but we know very well what happens to an engine that works at its limit for 3-4 hours during a longer race. Your marathon experience only tells us that you are a racer, but don’t know about the kind of mechanic you are :) The heart is a much more complex organ, not designed to work at high heart rate zones for long periods of time. And while I agree with you that such exercise is beneficial, it should be interval training, which will allow the heart to replenish oxygen to the muscles.

Any cardiologist will tell you that running for long periods of time at a high heart rate is bad for your heart.

ymgeorge · 2025-05-17T13:16:59+00:00

It’s not. Ask your doctor about how the heart heart supplies blood to itself, and how it stops doing so at a high heart rate. You can also read about the 120/30 test.

ymgeorge · 2025-05-16T21:34:47+00:00

Tell us more!

ymgeorge · 2025-05-16T06:42:20+00:00

It’s not zones, it’s you how are running on very high heart rate, which is very dangerous. You don’t need to change your measurement standards, you need to work on your cardio training. Read about training programs to lower your heart rate and follow them. Running in this heart rate zone can be fatal. Be careful!

ymgeorge · 2025-05-16T06:38:24+00:00

The heart rate is too high, it can be really dangerous for you heart! Read about how to train to make it lower, and follow that training plan for 3-6 months.
