I have tinctures of a bunch of citrus fruits (basically just soak peels in high proof neutral spirits) in small spray bottles, and they work great for that. It’s nice for at home when you want to add a little lemon aroma to something, but dont want to cut into a lemon just for a section of peel.
Yes, nunti. You give it your rss feeds, and you either like or dislike items. It recognizes what types of things you do and dont want to see, and prioritizes that.
It’s all open source, so you could mess with it if you want. There is some built in ability to tune parameters.
The downside is you can’t cluster your feeds. E.g., sometimes I want to read the news, and sometimes I want recipes, but with nunti, it’s all combined.
Yeah, but I dont know if that dividing line is less than or greater than marathon distance.
It’s definitely true for a day long ultra marathon, definitely not true for a 5k, but where the dividing line is is hard to pin down (and it’s going to be person specific).
It makes sense that UV is only s small % of the energy from the sun, so sunscreen would only be responsible for a small change in heating.
Looks like some can inhibit sweating, too, which could be a double whammy.
That’s the problem with sunscreen, too.
I have no clue what’s in Nike’s plan, but I bet they provide decent guidance.
I would say, it’s really easy to ignore pacing/heart rate recommendations for training runs, but you are really doing yourself a disservice (and I’m 100% guilty of it, too).
Training should be targeted for the best effect. Marathon time can basically be predicted by (VO2max * lactate threshold/cost of running).
To simplify, VO2max is targeted by running at a pace so fast that your cardiovascular system can’t keep up (basically sprints), so your body adapts to increase capability (bigger engine). Lactate threshold is the tipping point where you go from a sustainable pace to an unsustainable pace. You improve that by running at an unsustainable pace typically in short stints (e.g., intervals), giving yourself some time to recover between (higher RPM capability). Cost of running is basically how good is your form, and are you carrying extra weight. You probably dont want to try to lose weight while training (it doesnt feel good, and may increase injury risk (I’d have to check the literature)). It may be worth having a friend watch you run, or filming yourself for form. There are a lot of people, even very fast people, with very wonky form that wastes a lot of energy.
The more intense workouts are hard, so if you are supposed to do one on a day, but you dont feel great after 10 minutes of warming up, feel free to pivot, but dont just skip it.
The longer runs are really more for knowing you can run a long time, and getting the hydration/nutrition right.
Your longest run should cap out at about 35 km,
Yeah, a lot of training advice ends up true for people at the elite end of the pack, but it doesnt mean that same volume should be aspirational for the average Joe.
Same thing with gear. A shoe designed for a 2 hour marathon probably isnt right for someone aiming for 5 hours.
It can be relatively cheap if you dont care about having an extreme range. I know someone who turned an old beetle electric, and it just runs off of ~10 lead acid batteries if i remember right. Not a huge range, but enough to go to work and get groceries.
I have common sage, and it flowered in the first year. Pretty sure it’s also perennial around me.
They wouldnt be too smart if they were, because it’s not a meat allergy, it’s an alpha -galactose allergy, which is a sugar present in most mammals that people eat, but also many other foods, like carageenan, which is in many vegan products and medicine.
They do, but they use different voltage and frequency for their grid, so you can’t just buy one of theirs and use it.
The upside to systems like this, though, is that once the infrastructure are in place, cold water could be supplied instead by a chiller plant instead of the river.
That’s true for ripe nuts at the end of the season. Right now, the only ones you’ll find on the ground are fruits that the tree has aborted. I’m not sure exactly what causes it, but the ones that are on the ground right now are no good.
My recommendation is to try to hit as many trees as possible at the ground level rather than trying to get nuts from high up on a single tree.
Nut pickers work pretty well for harvesting in the when the nuts are preparing to fall when they are ripe, but right now they hold on to the tree pretty hard, and you can do a good amount of damage to the branches trying to pull them off.
If you can actually reach by hand, you can twist them off without much trouble.
Thats the problem: no one actually makes the devices yet, but there are official standards now, so I bet we’ll be getting the first devices before the end of the year.
No, you dont understand, we can’t just look elsewhere to find examples that have been shown to work well, we have to spend all our money on developing a completely parallel set of rules and regulations from the ground up because of … reasons.
It’s the same thing with bike lanes: every city spends the whole budget on doing “studies” of different designs rather that just building the exact designs that the Dutch have perfected.
In this case, the unfortunate thing is we can’t just buy German gear since the voltage and frequency of our grids are different.
Owned by the king, not the government. Well, I suppose the king is the government, just not the part that does all the other government stuff
Especially in Canada, there’s going to be a large degree of hybridization. Coyotes have apparently also been shown to become more wolf-like (i.e., larger) in territories they have moved into since wolves were extirpated.
I’ve made american cheese out of parmigiano reggiano. Technically, it’s not just cheese and sodium citrate; you also need extra water depending on how dry the cheese is. It’s a good way to add flavor because you can use stock, or beer, or mountain dew, or whatever.
