The Awkward Silence

probably get an electric bike for the days where you're not feeling it or in a hurry but that is some golden opportunity for free cardio that you can wean yourself into easily

JAD

and it's easy to actually go

with other sports like that, I really struggle finding the motivation

Magisch

Thats what I mean by easy to wean yourself into, you can form a habit of it very quickly

JAD

but since it's a commute, there's some point I simply just have to leave

yeah exactly

I also bike to work, but it's only 6km a day

yet, when I have time off I feel myself missing it, not just for the workout, but for the view and nice field air too

@JAD You do want to have the electric bike charged though :p because a electrical bike without electrical assistance is pretty heavy

@Magisch I'm one of those persons :p, I go to work by bus and need to workout afterwards

My goal is not to get like big muscles and stuff, just maintaining a healthy lifestyle at most

avazula

@CaldeiraG everyone has different goals in working out :p that's what make it beautiful

CaldeiraG

that's true :)

avazula

I workout mostly to get out of my own head, and not to have back aches when I'm older (hopefully)

Q: Mitigate and discuss conflict about inclusion of my son as step-son

My wife and I have two kids, I have a son from divorce (divorced years before the second marriage). What has happened more and more recently, she seems to somehow to disapprove his existence like "ok that's your business if you see him, ok that's your business if you bring him to our home". Now...

My dad had Lumbar Disc Herniation and needed to do a surgery on that

But after the surgery and recuperation, he is very good and without back pain :D

He also workout like me :p

JAD

@CaldeiraG that's the idea yeah :P

CaldeiraG

@JAD Yeah, if you're doing 36km a day, you don't wanna forget to charge it afterwards XD

most bikes i've seen has 40km of range in 100% electric and 80km with electrical assistance

@Ælis deleted. that is nothing else than rude.

Ælis

@avazula It sounded more like a rant than really rude but, in any case, it as nothing to do here

CaldeiraG

@IntrovertedMetaMan Actually interested to know this so badly XD

because in order to find a question that I can back-it-up is not that easy

Ælis

@CaldeiraG My answer is "this is not valid", but I have nothing to backup that claim :p (to be more precise, I don't care enought to try to elaborate more on why the answer isn't valid)

CaldeiraG

10:09 AM

In all honesty, I think the answer is valid and the lego analogy makes it kinda backed up

Ælis

Yeah, but it doesn't sound back up enough for me and I'm afraid allowing it would setup a bad precedent :/

CaldeiraG

I think it's a quality answer but maybe needs further attention to "why would this work"

Not every answer is perfect :p

Ælis

@CaldeiraG Agree with that

Hello @CaldeiraG is that you in the picture? Hmm I think you look like Cristiano Ronaldo!

CaldeiraG

@ankiiiiiii not at all, i've been on my gym for almost 2 years and I didn't change much :p

Q: A inquiry about feelings and possessiveness

In context, I have been talking to this person for the past three months approx in a 'more than friends' way (we have known each other from a couple of years ago but we haven't seen in a while). and we kinda agreed that upon meeting (in a couple of days now) we would be FWB and nothing more.

I'm the guy who gave that answer referenced by OP. I'm pretty new to the "Interpersonal Skills" site, but would like to respectfully ask some questions about the citations requirement. I can totally understand the need for citations on a hard science site. "I feel like..." would not be the s...

@ankiiiiiii what's that? When people yell because it's too heavy for them to be able to handle it?

@Rainbacon blushes no, but thanks :D Fedora's the sweetest

@Ælis I have a history with this user and this I'm the asker, I may not be the best person to answer it :)

ankiiiiiii

@CaldeiraG oh on the site, it doesn't work, in some editors, alt and selecting text selects a rectangle. like this coderwall.com/p/bo5nnq/xcode-tip-use-alt-key-for-selecting-code

@avazula people attribute deadlifts to back pains. So If you do so, you might be welcoming back pains than shooing them away. \s

Ælis

@avazula It feels like they aren't answering your question, though. More like they are asking something new that has already been discussed many times. In any case, I understand that you don't want to answer.

ankiiiiiii

Are you answering why your answer in concern is valid or questioning the policy while using "what-about-those-answers" method? Also, since you are attentive to votes, DVs on meta mean different, so please don't bother yourself about these 2 as of now. Since this couldn't be a long comment, as an answer, it feels fine to me. — ankiiiiiii 3 mins ago

am I rude there? time is there to edit it.

@scohe001 Note really aside for this faq about good answer and this faq post about citation expectation. You will notice that both say that personal experience (or external source) is required and none that explaining the thought process is enough. For a more "historical" insight, I have this but it doesn't say much

Hmm I may write up a meta about this if I have time today. Thanks for taking the time to find those links!

Q: Clarification on Subjective Answer Backup Requirements

We've now been formally enforcing "backup" for almost a year and a half (and discussing it for at least 2yrs). We've had some well written and well thought out answers on what's expected.

The "backup," "back-up," or "back it up" policy has become a staple of our site. In addition, we've seen a lot of questions concerning it on our meta. That being said, there's no easy way to see discussion about this policy, as we have no tag for it and the policy tag isn't on all of them. I su...

the point is the blind trust people show here while clicking on links which link to say images or code-bins. Should I be checking status bar for the same for dozens of links I click in a day?
