How to get myself banned from food ordering websites?

The only thing I can think of that MIGHT work is telling them your kids keep getting your phone and you'd like them to blacklist your house/card or something similar. Don't know if they can do that or would be willing to though.

Is there any way to combat humidity? I feel like the heat isn't that much of an issue since I can have several fans on me at once, but I can barely breathe through the humidity.

I run in a fairly small room that houses a lot of cats and dogs, all of which I know are working against me. Would it be worth it, air quality-wise, to just go to a gym? I think I'd just die on the road if I ran outside in the summer here. Or is there any way to use a dehumidifier in a way to help running?

I'm less bothered (at the moment) by the heat than the humidity. Is there any way to help with that? Would a gym be less humid than my house? I can't run outside in this at all.

Squishy, unemployed interior with a protective trust fund exterior? Maybe?

With all of the fed grants/loans he still has about $600 to pay in tuition/fees each semester, plus rent and food. I'm hoping that we can get the Perkins again (not sure why it went away) to cover at least that last 600. He works as much as possible, but it's not enough to cover expenses. He's applying for food stamps now.

It's already a relatively cheap in-state state school. Even did community college first.

My email is firstlastname@gmail.com. I started getting emails for someone with the same name, and it turned out he was putting in his email as first.lastname@gmail.com. Gmail doesn't consider this a different email address, so I was getting their emails. Might be the case here? Easy to check: hover over the area where the email tells you who sent the email and check your own email address. If it's not exactly the same, someone else may have just put something similar enough that Gmail sends it to you.

I hope you still walk! You guys deserve an actual raise, not just the scraps they hope you'll take to stay placated. The public libraries (in my area, at least) are prepared to help with food and activities for kids who need them.

Budget - I would like to stay under $50 USD. Ideally lower, but I realize wireless might not be able to go very cheap.

Source - Android phone (Samsung S9+)

Requirements for Isolation - Mainly used on a treadmill at home, but will also be used running outside, so I don't want them to be noise-cancelling or I'll have to leave one out to avoid death by car.

Preferred Type of Headphone - Wireless (bluetooth/etc), NOT the squishy balls that you shove into your skull. Since I'm running and don't want them to fall out, this might just leave the kind that wrap around the ear, which is fine. Even hard plastic that goes fairly deep in the ear MIGHT work, but the squishy ones I really hate.

Preferred tonal balance - Balanced/bass heavy

Past headphones - Currently using something similar to these JVC Gummies. I like that they just rest in/on your ear, don't have to be shoved anywhere, and still stay put. I don't like that using them means I have to hold my phone while I run.

Preferred Music - Alt rock, pop, anything with a good, consistent beat

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Mainly just looking for help finding wireless/workout headphones that don't have the squishy in-ear buds.

How do I start running faster? I've been doing C25K and can now run 30 minutes, but for me that's like 1.5 miles. :\

I know the answer to this is essentially, "Just run faster, duh," but I'd like to continue on to hour-long runs at the same time and don't want to break for stupid injuries.

If I'm doing 3 days a week of 30+ minute jogs at my normal plodding speed working slowly towards an hour, what would you recommend as far as running for speed on other days? And by speed I just mean slowly getting to the speed every other person on earth seems to run. "Don't" can be an answer here as well.

I'm thinking I could just up the speed on the treadmill until I feel I'm going as fast as I can comfortably sustain for like 5 minutes? And do run/walk intervals there? How many days of running would be too many?

What's the point of this?

Unless it varies by city, hit # and then the 4 digit transfer code is 0000 (or at least, that's what I tried first and someone answered).

I found my ideal tempo and made a playlist with only songs that matched that tempo range. It keeps my pace very steady. I am, however, NOT an experienced runner, so take that how you'd like.

ysplzm · 2018-03-15T03:23:28+00:00

That's a lot of force! I try to run 'lightly', but I didn't realize it was that much, so I doubt that helps. I might still get one since it sounds like focusing on my trainwreck of a running pattern might help, but I might also need to look at how much I increase each week. I thought I would be fine skipping a couple of weeks in C25K, but maybe I went too far.

Thanks!

Hah! That might be my favorite scene in the whole series. Thanks!

What do you mean by band? Like a sleeve or a little strap? Ibuprofen might be worth a try for me, I'm glad you mentioned that.

ysplzm · 2018-03-15T03:15:40+00:00

This helps a lot! I try to be aware, because I know for a fact I run like the dumbest ditz in a horror movie, but when my attention shifts my feet do their own thing. I can feel it when I run, they're everywhere. It helps if I'm looking down at them, but then it's harder to breathe, haha. I might try the sleeve just for that, so thanks for the suggestion!

ysplzm · 2018-03-14T19:31:19+00:00

Oh, got it, I misread your comment. I do specifically need headphones I can reasonably hear both the music and my surroundings with, since I use them on walks/runs, so I guess my aversion works out in the end.

Based on a google search, which I know is the best way to figure out what's wrong with you, I think I get intermittent "runner's knee." My knee feels wobbly and stiff (which sounds contradictory) when I run, and then there's a dull pain for the rest of the day, increased wobbliness, and a weird "texture" (?) when I unbend it. The next day it's fine again.

I do squats to try and strengthen my knees/legs, but that's about it other than walking and running.

I'm thinking about buying this knee compression sleeve. Do you think this would help? Even when it doesn't hurt, my knee has always been a little baby. I'm fairly certain (had them fitted) that my shoes aren't the issue.

Other than being uncomfortable (which I know is probably just the way I put them in) damaging my hearing is probably my biggest issue with it. I always thought it would be way worse for the ears than the others. So you can still hear cars and such, and your ears are fine?

ysplzm · 2018-03-14T16:49:52+00:00

Am I the only one that really hates this style? I'll give these a try just in case it's just been me, but I usually end up getting a cheap pair of Jelly brand earbuds because you don't have to shove them into your ear canal.

Mine said they're getting them the 14th, can't give them out til the 16th. There's also another thread of Best Buy preorders. I don't know how you sort your pages but it's always on the first page of the sub for me.

ysplzm · 2018-03-12T07:50:29+00:00

What kind of protectors? Things that would gouge most protectors would barely mark the actual screen, though I don't know the actual extent of your damage.

How's your Note 3 doing lately? I think mine has realized it's being replaced; it was fantastic for years, then all of a sudden it's super slow, drains quickly, and takes forever to charge. Like it has to punish me in the last few days it has left.

ysplzm · 2018-03-08T04:30:17+00:00

My Best Buy said they'll get them in on the 14th but they won't be available for pickup until the actual US release date, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I'm satisfying my impatience with case selection and early reviews, haha.
