yeah the 35Ah ones were $65 a piece, and the 18Ah ones to the left were $35, all shipped prices (i didnt think to check a local batteries+ to compare, but the shipped-prices on amazon still beat what it appeared their prices were online)

so $200 total for all four of those, with a combined 106Ah of capacity @20hrs.

i'm def. gonna look into a bank of cheaper batteries and lose the portability if i ever need to put another system together. are you planning on an inverter? a $30 100w cigarette lighter jobber worked fine for just the laptop, but i started needing the cordless drill. to charge that I got a pure sine wave inverter which is way too big and noisy and would kill the battery dead if it ever drew close to its rated 1000w. I want this one bad as it's tiny and fanless, but 3x the price of mine that still does the job i guess

I have gotten so many smiles from cute girls also running since I started running. Running straight sucks but whatever.

now that it's warmer and i'm running in less i've definitely noticed getting the increased smiles and check-outs

its hard to find good looking running shoes imo. i got these sw8 neon green + grey ones that own, so im' lucky.
but now that i think about it, i dont really notice peoples shoes when i see them running. im going to pay extra attention now and its probably going be really freaky, just like if you make a conscience effort to notice peoples eyebrows and they L@@K like a completely different person

yeah i don't really notice shoes much either.

whenever i pass other runners i notice there's a sort of universal greeting - head stays facing forward and down, eyes up at the other person, maybe a small wave

also all running shoes are ugly which is why you get the most obnoxious color combinations instead

no one has ever woken up and been like :oh poo poo when did u get soi many msucles???"

lifting is better long term imo. fitness gains from aerobic exercise last about 3 days after the last time u did a marathon. lifting helps all sorts of poo poo including posture and the strength gains last considerably longer even if u fall off for a abit

everyone should lift and run

is there anything big i should look out for so i dont buy really bad shoes for riding? i just have og platform pedals no straps or anything. i am not going to be some clipless dude so dont try

you should get pedals with clips, they let you get your hamstrings into it which is both a better workout and a source of free extra power

i wear adidas sambas and they work great for cycling

I want to buy a bigger and more expensive drone but have no practical reason to do it.

Also I can't find any laws about strapping guns to drones so possibly it is actually not a crime, even though it is both wildly impractical and completely irresponsible.

I'm almost entirely positive it's illegal to use a firearm 'remotely' but if you just want to carry a pistol with a drone that actually probably isn't illegal. if it's somehow packaged for transport especially.

I love my vibrams but they make me look like a dumb idiot and when wearing them am constantly terrified that my pinkie toe is going to get caught on something / anything and bend backwards and uuuuugh so they've been in the back of my closet for a year now

maybe I should get some merrils but I tried a pair on and am not feeling dat freedom

Breaking your little toe by catching it on something while running is not something I recommend.
