Comment on Realizing I could run as far as my mental state carried me made me become addicted to distance running. Anyone else been enjoying running/long runs? in ~hobbies

The general rule is that you should not increase your distance with more than 10% per week. This can of course depend on your current level of mileage and fitness. After increasing for a few weeks it's probably also a good idea to reduce a bit again, so you don't ramp it up to quickly.
Another important aspect is to run slow. Like way slower than you think. This will help your body adapt to running for a longer time without getting injured.
If you like exploring your city I recommend Citystrides. It lets you keep track of all the streets you've run and you can try to get them all! Or check out Smashrun for loads of statistics and fun challenges. I'm quite proud of my Leap year sweep-badge!
Happy running!

It's still in early access, and I've only been trying out the demo for short while, but it seems to be a promising throw back to the older, and better, games in the series.
There are some mechanics and design choices that I don't quite approve of, but I think I'll give the full game a try.

- Create an outline of the main story
- Write the first chapter
- Write at least two scenes
- Specify five world building ideas
If I can manage two of those, I'm happy. All four and I have an excuse to celebrate.

I know I should just try, because if I did I could become better and maybe enjoy the process as much as the dream. But alas, I haven't managed yet.
Past me would be proud, and probably a bit surprised, that I went through a major career change recently that really altered my whole perspective on work life. Now I make a difference.

Falcon79 LinkThey're made out of meat is a very short story about how aliens might view us humans. It can also be found on YouTube as a short film.They're made out of meat is a very short story about how aliens might view us humans. It can also be found on YouTube as a short film.

Comment on It is as if you were on your phone in ~tech
Falcon79 LinkI have ambivalent feelings about this. It was annoyingly stimulating for a bit to long for my taste. On one level it was really stupid, but on another I really wanted to see how it would progress.I have ambivalent feelings about this. It was annoyingly stimulating for a bit to long for my taste.

She just laughed and said something along the lines "I don't know, maybe it's me, I always lose my pens."
I asked some other colleagues who uses the whiteboard and they just always have a marker in their pocket. So basically the whole team has had to adjust to her kleptomania. I just wonder if she got a drawer full of pens somewhere...

Comment on Who are your favorite actors? in ~movies
Falcon79 LinkI really like strong supporting characters and Sam Rockwell and Paul Giamatti always bring something extra to a movie. Moon and Sideways show that they can pull off a leading man as well.I really like strong supporting characters and Sam Rockwell and Paul Giamatti always bring something extra to a movie.
