I am a paying member, although don't really see a point in it. Especially since I've noticed that I am using Strava mostly for the social aspect, even if I normally don't care for any of social media stuff. It is really fun to see how my friends, local runners and professional train. For stats I always use Smashrun and Garmin Connect.

We had external trainer here some weeks ago and at one point he mentioned(boasted) that he had inbox of 4000+ unread emails. On the last session he wrote his email on the board and said that we can just contact him for further questions and of course no one wrote it down.

Sorry for the people who lost their money. I've backed quite a few KS projects as well, but have stopped doing that mostly now. Just because there seems to be bit more of these sketchy projects and from all the projects I've backed I can say that I am "only" properly satisfied with half of them.

Of all the Kickstarters I've done been only been "scammed" once. That was some mobile game that never got the Android version they promised. Or actually they did release it as a free pay-to-win game years later, but had already counted it as a loss. Have had couple of very disappointing hardware projects, but at least I got the product. Oh and there are still couple of games in "production" that should have been released years ago.

Sorry slightly off topic. Crap! I think have crashed exactly by the Haukeli tunnel. It was years ago and we were doing a mountain crossing with convoy driving through the worst parts. I was behind some old geezer and just coming out of the tunnel he gets blinded by the light/snow and slams his breaks. Me too close and eager just behind him just somehow manage to overtake him in the narrow tunnel, but unfortunately had I too fast speed and bumped the next car slightly. There was just a small mark on the car, but they still did a full checkup and sent us the bill. My boss wasn't happy, but I didn't have to pay ,even if it was 100% my fault.The following mountain crossings since that I have taken bit more easily.

The Isdalen mystery 10 years ago

It is just interviews of the people who worked at the hotel at the time the lady was there. They also got multiple drawings of the lady done, which they showed to these people who remember her. The drawings are not 100% according to the witnesses, but good enough they say. Must have made quite an impact the lady and the event since they remember all that still.

Super Mario Run 10 years ago

Really would want to play this. I don't mind the concept especially the game is on par with those Rayman runner games. At least couple of the early ones were really great. The price is perhaps steep for what it is, not that it would stop me from buying this. Well the hype and interested might have mellowed down once the Android version comes out..

Bose Hearphones 10 years ago

Woah, so many people "suffer" from the same thing!

edit. As for these hearphones, would be interesting to test them, but dont think I've used them. Never seen the problem as a big thing. More like annoyance perhaps. And yes, I am cheap.

Yeah that is the way to go. Wife asked me to block some her websites so that she would have time to do more useful stuff. Suppose I need to same for myself as well.
