2023.03.26 08:03 cofftea_run Finished my first trail Ultra yesterday

After 6 months training and prep I can finally say I've finished my first official trail race. Hooray.
It was a hard 80km in hot and humid weather, and and without the people there cheering me on at the checkpoints I probably would have given up half way through. There is plenty of room for improvement when it comes to my hill climbs and descents. So happy I was able to get it done.
A general shout out to this sub which has had so many helpful suggestions! Now it's time to build up my base and keep my eye out for the next big race (who knows, maybe try the 100km sometime in the next 2 years).

2023.03.26 07:53 redditanytime1 I am finally buying a barefoot shoes from Vivobarefoot but how do I choose?

Those Magna and Tracker series are easily understand as hiking or climbing.
  1. But how about Primus Trail and Primus Lite and Geo Racer? What are the differences?
  2. All Weather is only for water proof?
  3. There is also I, II and III, and you should always choose 3rd generation?
  4. Is there something else I need to know about all these series?

2023.03.26 07:45 reverse-13 Permanent Hair Straightening/hair humidity control

Hello, I'd like to ask some general hair questions for anyone who has been dealing with the humidity in japan and has experience with it.
Context: This will be my first summer in japan, I have long completely natural beige blonde hair. It's thick and curly underneath while straight on top. I don't blow dry my hair and use tons of oils etc to take of it so it's in pretty good condition. Because my hair is two different types of curl, I often end up flat ironing a wave so it's consistent all over. I usually will end up with a flat hairstyle at the end of the day anyway because my hair is heavy and doesn't hold styling well.
Lately (especially with the rainy weather) my hair has been ridiculous. I had been considering bleaching it and doing a whole new look for the summer but I'm positive in this case this will make the frizz worse. And hairspray will only get you so far. I was researching permanent straightening and saw a lot of comments about it being worth it for the convenience of not having to deal with frizzy hair.
Was wondering if anyone who had it done would recommend it? I know I won't be able to dye my hair afterward and will have to let it grow out. Committing to my natural hair for a long time and losing the natural curl I do have is a bit of a sad thought. Just curious if there are more cons than pros as I couldn't find too many people not recommending it. Also heard of people just doing the top layers, which I thought was interesting, but not sure if that would solve the issue.
Appreciate the help!

2023.03.26 07:44 Hyanthe Itinerary Check: April 19 to May 6

Hello! I'm headed for my second trip in Japan next month and had a few questions especially about transport! I've done a similar trip in 2019, but this trip around has more detail and some places I've never been to. I've tried to make it as flexible and open an itinerary as possible with some options for chill/flex days, but I'd love any advice, suggestions, or opinions if any!
April 20 (Thur): - Arrive in Narita at around 3pm. - Collect JR Pass, take bullet train to Kyoto immediately (ETA 7-8pm in Kyoto?) - If possible, walk around the area a bit, but mostly just plan to sleep
April 22 (Sat): - First time daytrip to Himeji. - Any recommendations on what to do besides looking at the castle from afar?
April 23 (Sun): - First time daytrip to Nara - Main sites to see are Nara Park and Todaiji Temple - Open to suggestions otherwise!
April 24 (Mon): - Day trip to Arashiyama area. I went here in 2019 and loved the area so figured I'd like to take the day to enjoy it. I'm hoping that on a Monday, it won't be as busy.
April 26 (Wed): - Day trip to Osaka - Thinking of the aquarium in the morning (hopefully won't be busy on a Wednesday), Shinsekai in the late afternoon, and Dotonbori at early evening/night
April 21, 25, 27, 28: - Flea market at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine on 25th (worth paying a visit?) - General Kyoto sightseeing on these days (Gion, Sanjusangendo, Fushimi Inari, etc.)
April 29 (Sat): - Train to Tokyo probably in late morning/early afternoon - Some general sightseeing around Tokyo if time (Shibuya area probably), but mostly just get settled and chill - Unfortunately I realised too late that I had planned my trip with a part of it in Golden Week but I'm hoping that since I go to Tokyo when Golden Week starts, it might not be too busy in Tokyo? A lot of articles I read said that most people leave Tokyo during this time and flood back at the end of the week, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will work out okay. If not, should I just be prepared for every bus/train ride to be like riding in a sardine tin and for every site to be busy?
April 30 (Sun): - Daytrip to Kawaguchiko and Fuji Shibazakura Festival - I'm anticipating that this day trip will probably be extremely busy due to Golden Week - I'm hoping to get to Kawaguchiko as early as possible (possibly even taking the first available train/bus there, which seems to taking a train to Shinjuku station at around 6am, then take a bus at 6:45 to Kawaguchiko (I'm guessing the JR Pass won't work on this), arriving at Kawaguchiko Station at 8:30am - Maybe take some pics of Mt. Fuji if it's out, but head straight to the Fuji Shibazakura Festival (~10am to 12pmmaybe?) - Back to Kawaguchiko main area in early afternoon (~1pm), stop by Chureito Pagoda (is it hard to navigate the 400 steps with minor mobility issues?), and possibly Kubota Itchiku Museum if there's time - Take the Mt Fuji Panorama Ropeway, stop by Herb Hall if there's time, then back to Tokyo* - *: When I first went to Kawaguchiko in 2019 by train, I noted that the trains stopped running fairly early, around 5:30pm iirc in June. According to Google Maps though, if I'm taking the bus instead, I seem to be able to leave as late as 8pm and arrive in Shinjuku by 10pm. This would obviously allow me more flexibility and time at Kawaguchiko, but just wanted to confirm this was the best option?
May 1 (Mon): - Daytrip to Hitachi Seaside Park - I'm anticipating that this day trip will probably be extremely busy due to Golden Week
May 2 to 5: - General Tokyo sightseeing (Asakusa [busy for Golden Week probably], TeamLab Planets [is it worth it? I really wanted to go in 2019 but couldn't get tickets and I've heard great things about it], Ueno, Akihabara, Kichijoji + Ghibli Museum, Shibamata?) - I'm planning on visiting the Kameido Tenjin Shrine Wisteria Festival around May 4th, but dates haven't been officially announced, so this may change. - Any other recommended places to visit in Tokyo? I did a bit of the basics in 2019 (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Meiji Shrine etc.) so I haven't included some of those back again due to limited time.
May 6 (Sat): - Flight back to Canada from Narita at 4:55pm (arrive at Narita by ~2pm) - Would transporation to Narita be affected by Golden Week? I was thinking of taking a bit of time to do some light sightseeing if I could, but would it be recommended to head there early instead?
General Questions:
I know I've gone on a lot, so I'm really grateful for your time and patience! I have a few general questions about travelling in Japan again after so long.
  1. How is the weather in late April/early May? I have a high cold tolerance (Canada), but would it be a good idea to still bring a light coat or is that not needed? For reference, I find 10-12C (50-53F) to be when I'd want a light sweater. When is sunset during this time?
  2. I've heard that the JR Rail Pass has since switched over to a paper ticket instead of a pass you show staff. I'm not super familiar with the different train lines, so how would I know if the JR Rail Pass would not be eligible for a particular route I was taking? What if half the route was eligible but the other half was not? Would I be stopped at the gate (at which point I would scan an IC card)?
  3. I still have my Icoca, Pasmo, and Suica cards from my trip in 2019. Can I bring them with me and load them up? Or would I be required to buy new cards? (I got multiple IC cards during my last trip because I wanted to collect the different types haha)
  4. Is Golden Week really as notorious as it seems, specifically in the Tokyo area? Every article I've read says to avoid Golden Week as if your life depended on it, but I unfortunately can't really change plans! I'm looking forward to the potential of seeing carp streamers on Children's Day around the city though (if that's a thing)!
Apologies again for the huge post and thank you for all your help!

I am an Aires on the east coast who is also a hopeless romantic, sentimental fool, and looking for my monogamous soul mate, no polyamory, to be with me and accept me and not be judged. Though I warn you now I expect to give the same and I expect us to share all things in our lives good or bad and if anything happens to talk to each other not to run to our friends who are maybe close but are always going to be outside our relationship. I also want to be able to just talk about how our days have gone, how we feel, how the weather is, and normal conversations as well. That’s how a team works and what I want. I am also shy because of life experience despite that I warmed up quickly in high school and was a prince there but retreated a bit after school and losing contact with my friends, recently reconnected with them and a handful I absolutely admire for their loyalty even after all the years. I hope to have my book published in 5 years but I expect not as I am always reading new research and refining plus I’m working on an ultra realistic map for it, I like making them. So I expect to just be on the middle but one day it will be completed, maybe a series not sure. I am an artist, graphic art and literature also a caregiver. My hobbies include as you guessed art, video games, RPGs,trivia, reading, some movies & TV shows.

I guess that makes me a little old fashioned, but sometimes old fashioned is what we need. I'm a straight man who tries to be fair but I'm use to standing on my own, regardless of how hard the struggle even if sometimes its only by crawling, but I am my own man with a strong endurance.

I’m also a unique person. If you've seen Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings, I look kinda like Aragorn there perhaps a bit more like in Return of the King during Winter months. I might be willing to trade photos later after getting to know each other better. I got a heart of gold to give to the right lady, hopefully for eternity. Current song: Lost in the Echo.

Update One: The Seafarer’s Hope Has landed! (1224)

https://preview.redd.it/nc7yewqdr0qa1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=7bc94106f3e1a8b86222e60d172a2ac21bd9155e
Update One:
Hey!
So I finally started the new city! And by start I mean found a map and fixed my mods (all…day..). Anyway, I’m planning on building a small settlement first with a church and then building the settlement and its industries up a bit before starting the city wall. The castle will go on top of the hill in the middle there – I’m thinking about using the monument castle, but I haven’t settled on it yet.
The ship captain will become the leader of the area and eventually the king, as the settlers on the boats have renounced their homelands to build a powerful city-state next to a vital shipping lane.
I’ll share more details once I actually start building!

History Behind This Event
In the year 1224, the first ship to land in what would later become the Kingdom of Luninberg arrived at the shores of the Lunin Strait, a strategic naval choke point leading into the North Atlantic. The ship, named "The Seafarer’s Hope," was captained by the renowned explorer, Captain William Alden, and carried a crew of 50 crew and additional 65 settlers. The ship was met with a landscape that was both beautiful and foreboding. A painting of the scene shows The Seafarer’s Hope beached on the shores with massive boulder-shaped rocks at the end of the beach. Behind the ship, a thick forest loomed, and a small mountain rose into the sky in the distance. This image, named "The Arrival of The Seafarer’s Hope," captures the momentous occasion of the first ship to arrive in Luninberg and the vast, untamed wilderness that awaited the intrepid explorers.
The Lunin Strait, a major naval choke point in the North Atlantic, was ideal for European settlers to establish a settlement. With its deep natural harbour and strategic position between Europe and North America, the Lunin Strait provided access to lucrative trade routes and offered protection for ships from the harsh Atlantic weather. The settlers who came to this region in the 1220s were from all over Europe, particularly the countries with strong maritime traditions, such as Portugal, Spain, England, and France. These settlers were motivated by a desire to establish new trade routes, expand their empires, and seek adventure in the unknown world. Additionally, they were attracted to the region's fertile land and abundant natural resources, providing ample agricultural and commercial development opportunities.

2023.03.26 07:38 thereelphil Don't believe you can time the crypo market!

Trying to time the crypto market is like trying to predict the weather in space. It's impossible! Sure, you might get lucky and catch a solar flare or a meteor shower, but most of the time, you'll just end up getting burned by the heat or frozen by the cold.
It's like trying to catch a falling knife while juggling flaming torches - sure, it looks cool if you can do it, but you're probably going to end up hurting yourself in the process. And don't forget about the transaction fees! They'll eat into your profits faster than a swarm of hungry piranhas.
So, instead of trying to time the crypto market, just sit back, relax, and let the market do its thing. Invest in a diversified portfolio, and don't put all your eggs in one basket. And if you do decide to take a risk and invest in a particular cryptocurrency, just remember: HODL! (That's "hold on for dear life," for those who aren't fluent in crypto-speak.)

2023.03.26 07:36 Shaddy310 Tokyo 4-day Itinerary check 3/31-4/3

So, this is more of a short solo "recon" trip than the actual trip that I wanted. Initially, I planned to stay for a full two weeks but this is the most i could get away from work due to how busy we are. Saw the lineup for this festival and knew I had to go even if it was for a few days. I do plan to come back later this year for a full two weeks, so I don't mind skipping a lot of the typical must do things right now. I also understand I am arriving way past the Sakura peak, but would be awesome if I could at least see some of them somewhere. Willing to shuffle some things around or mark them as To DO for the next visit. The only thing that cannot change from this itinerary is the event on Saturday and Sunday. I know day 1 may seem unrealistic, but I really want to take full advantage of the short time I will have there. I'm also taking a mostly empty luggage for all the gifts and junk I'm going to buy…
Things already done:
Suica on Apple Wallet
QR codes for airport entry
Written down the train routes that I will need
Notepad with common phrases and things I know I want to ask/say
Day 0 - March 30
Depart from LAX at 12:50am
Day 1 - March 31
04:30am Arrival at Haneda
06:00-07:00am Pickup up SIM card and find the luggage forwarding service kiosk
08:00am Take the train(s) to Tokyo Station and then head to Asakusa or Akihabara and Ochanomizu (really want to check out the guitar street)
3:00pm is hotel check-in time, so I will plan to head back to Tokyo Station at this time -Debating on stopping at the Tokyo Disney station to shop as it is on the same line to my hotel (which is in Chiba)
Check into hotel
Visit the local konbini to print out my event ticket and to stock up on snacks
Rest at the hotel for a bit
Take the train back to Tokyo Station and then hop on the line to Shibuya Spend the rest of the evening/night there walking around and exploring :) -Of course this all depends on how tired I will be and how the weather is that day.
Day 2 - April 1
Knotfest Day1
Day 3 - April 2
Knotfest Day2
Day 4 - April 3 - Mainly a shopping day
07:00am Prep my belongings and then check out
08:00am Take the train back to Tokyo Station but stop midway at the Tokyo Disney station to shop at their store if I didn't do so on Day 1
Hit up Shinjuku and Shibuya if I didn't do so on Day 1
Be at Haneda airport by 6:30pm
Please let me know if you have a specific shop you recommend for Berserk and Ghibli merch. Those are two things I want to buy stuff of.

Pass muna sa Grab. Just want to know first if there are ways to endure Angkas.
Or maybe tips on carpooling and the like? Basta wag lang talaga Grab dahil di kaya ng bulsa. 😂

2023.03.26 07:24 Disastrous-Bowler445 How long does it take for removalists to move my belongings?

The amount of time it takes for removalists to move your belongings will depend on several factors, such as the distance between your old and new locations, the volume of items being moved, the complexity of the move, and the level of service you require. Here are some general guidelines to give you an idea of how long a move may take:
Local moves: For a local move within the same city or town, removalists may be able to complete the move in one day or less, depending on the amount of items being moved.
Interstate moves: For an interstate move, it could take a few days to a week or more, depending on the distance and the size of the move.
International moves: For an international move, it can take several weeks or even months for your belongings to arrive at your new location, depending on the destination and the method of transportation.
It's important to note that the time it takes for removalists to move your belongings can also be affected by factors outside of their control, such as traffic delays, weather conditions, and other unforeseen circumstances. It's best to discuss the expected timeline for your move with the removalist company and make sure you have a clear understanding of the estimated time of arrival for your belongings

2023.03.26 07:23 ForeignCake One month Indonesia in July/August- Weather? Java or Sumatra? Best mountains/volcanoes?

My husband and I want to do either Java or Sumatra for a month. We love hiking beautiful mountains/volcanoes. Would Java or Sumatra be better for this?
  1. How's the weather at this time? Will there be tons of rain?
  2. Love beautiful beaches too, but I think those are all over Indonesia, right? We're mainly interested in the hiking (see #1).
  3. Any other general tips/advice? Can't miss places?

2023.03.26 07:16 _Lumity_ Witch Type Question!

Newer witch here! I was thinking today how much I enjoy the idea of snow Magick. I mean, I have snow for half the year where I live, sometimes even longer (it snowed just today and it's almost April) and I was wondering if being a snow witch was a thing.
I haven't seen anything about it aside from a few snow-related spells but snow is so powerful. I feel like I can resonate with it in my core. I love the feeling of the cold, and I'm never more at peace than when it's dark and cloudy and snow is falling from the sky. I like identifying as a green witch at the moment but that's only when the weather is nice and I can actually go outside and be among the flowers and plants and collect things from the forest.
My question is, is there such a thing as a snow witch? If so, is there some sort of label I could use to describe a shifting witch type depending on the season? (I can't help but think of the greek goddess of Persephone on the subject of winter and spring lol)

2023.03.26 07:13 RollingStone6969 33 [M4F] NY/NJ/Anywhere - Looking for a sexting/chatting buddy

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a great day and is having a nice Saturday night for themselves. It was a shitty weather day here, so it was the perfect excuse to have a lazy day. I went out tonight though, and just got home a few minutes ago. I had a few drinks, so i’m a little drunk. Right now I’m hanging out in my apartment, watching tv, having another beer, and horny. I’m looking for someone who’s horny too. If we hit it off I’d like for this to be a long term thing.
For things we might have in common, I love music (rock, metal, some rap and pop), sports (baseball, football, basketball), going to concerts, running, reading, watching tv shows on Netflix, playing video games, and hanging out with friends.
If you’re interested, we can chat on here first. I have a couple different messenger apps as well, so we can chat on one of those if you’d like. Hope to hear from you!

2023.03.26 07:12 jessefivey we bought a lemon. is it salvageable?

my partner and i bought a 2006 31' itasca spirit class c to move into back in august and since then just about nothing has gone to plan. our dry run day trip to a local state park was cut short by engine trouble that left the rig in the shop for almost a month.
then, after we got it back from the mechanic, we discovered the worst: a leak. the previous owners had neglected the roof seals and the driver side awning rail was funneling rainwater to the front of the vehicle, where it would find its way down inside the wall and trickle into the overcab loft through the window frame. by the time we discovered the leak, the damage was already extensive: the entire plywood platform of the loft was moldy and needed to be replaced. i dismantled enough of the loft to identify the problem but couldn't figure out how to go about repairing things, although i did repair the roof seal to successfully stop the leak.
i've spent the winter fruitlessly searching for a shop that was willing to take on a water damage restoration project. in roughly december we noticed ANOTHER leak streaming into the loft, this time on the passenger side. that roof seal had looked fine to me but it had apparently failed in the cold weather. i would have paid a professional handsomely to take this off the massive list of things i have to worry about right now but no one would bite, and now we're almost at the deadline for us to move out of our house (which we had planned to do months ago) so i've resigned myself to doing my best to restore the loft myself as we have no other options.
the problem is... tonight i finally managed to remove all the rotten platform wood from one side of the loft, and found to my dismay that the rotten plywood extended well inside the wall, all the way to the exterior fiberglass. i had hoped the rot would be limited to the interior and that the wall would stop the water from spreading further, but since that's not the case i'm gravely worried about how bad this issue might be.
snapped some photos (https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/872841444019298424/1089369534827335720/20230325_213101.jpg, https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/872841444019298424/1089369535095787530/20230325_213114.jpg) of what it looks like inside the wall after i chiseled it out: rusty screws, a failed exterior seam (that i believe i can fix) and a total absence of whatever structural support the rotten board had been providing. not pictured: an unknown amount of water, mold, and rot in the wood that had been resting on it, both the hardboard paneling and any structural timbers that might be behind it.
how desperate is this situation? will i be fine if i put in a new platform tomorrow and drive away, or will i inevitably start finding soft spots in the walls in the loft or elsewhere? is this a write-off and i just don't know it yet? we might be able to negotiate for a little more time in our current place to try to buy a new rig but i'm not even sure it would be enough.
