Dreaming Spanish. It's an online video based approach, but their very early stage lessons basically do what the OP was talking about, in video form. They'll tell a story about a kid who goes on an excursion at school and gets up to mischief, and they'll flash in pictures and drawings to make sure you understand the context of what they're saying.

The further you get in to it, the less they use images and drawings, but in the early stages, they're a core part of the system

I mean, it increases again when you lose fitness, but it stays larger than it was before you got fit, so it remains lower than it was initially

In my case, when I was at my peak, I'd be in the high 30s, low 40s. When I lost my fitness, I sat in the mid to high 40s.

Before I took up distance running in the first place, my RHR was in the high 50s.

One interesting thing that articles like this don't often mention, is that when your resting heart rate drops due to fitness, it tends to stay lower even if you lose your fitness later on.

I haven't got this game yet, but if I'd have known it was the same folk that were behind Telltales Walking Dead, I'd have grabbed it weeks ago! That game was one of the most powerful experiences I've had in gaming, so I'm looking forward to this one much more now!

Who said it would be entirely men?

First hand experience

'cause I know I feel welcome, and not completely othered and invalidated when I'm forced to play on a team that is otherwise entirely men, whom have athletic advantage over me

If only it wasn't so cold! :)

I've never seen snow except through an airplane window

It depends on what those opposing viewpoints are. If they involve actively targeting and harming vulnerable people, I have no space at all for those viewpoints or the people that hold them.

For the other stuff, maybe a 7.

Like, a Colombian, or an Argentinian or a Costa Rican?

Honestly, all the time. They're awesome folk!

Meh. I perform much better at shorter distances. Even at my peak, my long distance runs were under the expectations of where they should be based on my 5km time. Even the genetic test I did said I'm built more for running fast 5kms than I am for running marathons and half marathons.

Yet for all of that, if I'm running an event, I'm going to run a half marathon, because I just don't enjoy 5km as much as I enjoy long distances. Unless it's a parkrun, it's not worth getting out of bed for a 5km running event.

Speaking from my own experience, I would say it's effective, but not fast, but leads to better results in the end.

None of that is why I use it though. I simply enjoy it more this way.

I've been learning Spanish though a similar method

Well, in that regards, they're similar to blahaj, as in, our instance doesn't just have trans communities. Our user base is focused on trans and gender diverse folk however. Hexbear, similarly, has all sorts of communities, but their userbase is focused on shared politics, even though their areas of discussion are not restricted to that.

Hexbear is very protective of it's trans users and it has a lot of them. But its "specialist area" is politics.

I think it's a good thing, because it discourages centralisation. If we end up with a bunch of specialist instances, then diversity suffers, because everyone looking for a specific area will end up on the one single specialist instance dedicated to it.

And I say that as the admin of an instance focused on the trans and gender diverse folk. There is a reason that we don't enforce specialisation on those topics in our instance communities though. Even so, we still tend to be "the trans instance", when I'd much prefer it if we were just one of many, like we are on the microblog part of the fediverse.

On the chance that you're engaging honestly, rather than just trolling...

WhatsApp, Roblox and Signal all run fine in Linux.

This is the ProtonDB page for Roblox. https://www.protondb.com/app/2181790. ProtonDB is a database that assesses how well windows games run under linux, and in this case, Roblox is Gold rated.

There are numerous WhatsApp apps and wrappers that run under linux, and Signal has an official Linux version found here https://signal.org/download/linux/

Mierda!
