Joao Alves

@niko_schr 40 next year and for me the goal is to finish my first one. Signed up to Milan in April. Looking forward to it and scared at the same time 😅

Being 40 years old and chasing a sub3 hour Marathon feels like the best possible midlife crisis 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

@niko_schr I have the original tubular one with no adjustment. It's just elastic. Very comfortable and not noticeable at all when running. I just carry my phone there and on some occasions the house or car keys but rare.

@niko_schr I have had a flipbelt for a few years now and love it. Still as elastic and snug as when new no complaints.

Hand position has a big influence on running form. Learnt that yesterday. As a notorious "phone in hand holding runner", I think its time to look for another solution. What is your favourite running belt? Bonus points for miniamilsm.

@IntrovertProbss A surprise what?

@niko_schr Good luck. Smash it.

10k race tonight Initially signed up to get an ‚official’ 10 under 40, but as it‘s my first high intensity run in weeks it‘s very hard to predict 🤷🏼‍♂️ Either way a good opportunity to test my Berlin kit and - most excitingly- finally unleash those Alphalfly beasts 🙌🏼 LFG 💪🏼

@ninan_phillip @niko_schr My strategy for my training as well but I still struggle with going to bed early when life is a bit more chaotic. Last week I basically slept close to 6h only every night. Not ideal for any recovery and definitely felt it in the training.

@niko_schr The only way I’m able to train is to wake up before everyone else. 😴 I’ve moved my long run to during the week so that I have more time and energy to spend with my family on the weekends. My partner has finally accepted that I can’t stay up as late as we used to.

If you do Marathon training as a father of young kids you better have a) your family schedule figured out 🤓 b) a very supportive partner 🤷🏼‍♂️

@hugosousapt Tenho uma conta no Moey só para esse propósito por essa mesma razão. É ridículo como uma coisa tão simples não existe.

Estamos em 2023 e os bancos portugueses ainda não permitem criar sub-contas/contas virtuais nas suas aplicações móveis. Já viram quão fácil seria canalizar fundos para diferentes objetivos de poupança sem ter que andar a criar contas de deposito a prazo à balda?

@mariana_maz94 Ok vou tentar amanhã escolher nesse sector e ver o que aparece. Senão à tarde antes do jogo com o AVS deve dar para ver no estádio. Obrigado

@jcmsalves Eu cheguei a comprar os bilhetes de família online quando vivia em Inglaterra, por isso diria que ainda deve dar. Tem é que ser naquela bancada/setor

🚨 BILHETES: BENFICA x Famalicão 🚨 🗓 Sex, 29Dez 🕗 18h45 🏟 Estádio da Luz 🎟️🎟️ À VENDA DIA 21 às 10h 🎟️🎟️ ⚠️ Critérios de venda + Preços ⤵️:

@OFuraRedes O ridículo é ser o clube vendedor que supostamente não queria vender, a ter que assumir esse custo, e não o clube comprador. Ele não prestou um serviço ao Benfica, mas sim ao PSG.

Ter de pagar 6,5 M€ ao Jorge Mendes para VENDER o Gonçalo Ramos... Por um valor muito longe da cláusula. Não está fácil de engolir.

@itomkinas They never really cared much about failed or late deliveries, the difference is that now they ignore the customer. I remember getting a month free of prime for 9 months in a row until the driver in my area at the time either got fired or went do something else.

Exactly, after this I became super paranoid about my deliveries. Especially when I ordered quest 3 again, but this time from meta. Luckily this time was successful 😅 Amazon should review the process but the problem is that support dismisses my claims and this probably doesn’t get escalated. And person who stole can continue doing so.

Amazon drivers stealing expensive packages and possibly getting away with it. Let's start from the beginning I preordered the Quest 3. As a Quest 2 owner, I couldn't wait to play some walkabout minigolf with my partner. On the delivery day I received a one-time passcode. Since I work from home, I kept an eye on the Amazon page on a separate monitor, constantly refreshing like a madman to see updates. After a while, I could see the delivery driver's location on the map indicating I was next. I even went downstairs to see if I could spot any drivers. After some time, the message changed to indicate that it would be delivered later. For multiple hours driver was 1km away from me. In the evening I received a notification saying "Parcel was handed to resident." I rushed downstairs to check, nothing there. Went to concierge, nothing there. How could they deliver without the code? I haven’t shared that code with no one. Also conveniently driver didn’t provide any picture with the delivery. Support is helpless in this case Every time I tried to contact amazon support they repeated the same old story: “OTP delivery is the most secure way and there is no way for it not to be not delivered”. No refunds, nothing. Felt helpless in this situation and amazon support was talking to me like I am the thief. Collecting the evidence My building has security cameras, so I contacted concierge to check if there was any delivery. Concierge said to make a police report first so they could review the footage. I did that, after a while I received email from concierge confirming that indeed there was no delivery. Amazon support was still claiming that delivery happened at that time and that place which contradicts the video evidence. Boom, I got something. I contacted amazon support and guess what? They don’t care, same old story. Amex to the rescue Luckily I bought using credit card. I filed a dispute claim against amazon purchase and provided all the evidence I had, including police reference number. Couple hours later case was closed with the decision to return me money. Thanks amex ❤️ Delivery driver encounter My partner went to local coop and saw that amazon delivery driver was not too far. She rushed to him to talk about our situation. After explaining what happened driver told “oh yeah, driver probably nicked it”. So this just confirms that drivers have a way to bypass OTP code without talking with the customer. And drivers know it! I bet amazon knows it as well, just doesn't admit it. Local area facebook group After posting my situation to local facebook group I found more people who had exactly same issue as mine. Even whole situation unfolded in exact same way. Just the purchase was even more expensive item - macbook. This is unacceptable. To Amazon @amazon please take a closer look at the driver who “delivered” my parcel, it is highly likely that this is not the first time and there are more victims. How exactly he bypassed the code, I am not sure. Is he working alone or more people involved? I don’t know. Also please review procedures with OTP code as it is bypassable and not as secure as you would think.

@hugosousapt O outro grande problema que temos em Mafra com os donos dos cães, não com os cães em si, é toda santa rua, estrada, passeios, estacionamento, carregados de dejetos. Não há uma rua que escape

São 21:15 e esta é a p*ta de sinfonia na minha rua. E esta calmo. É isto todo o santo dia, todos os dias, desde as 6:30 da manhã até às 23/24h da noite. #mafra #respeitozero

@Fabi3nn3 @SLBenfica Daí a pergunta. É só pela idade? Tbm não sabem em que ano estão. Os condicionais que entram com 5 recebem só no 2ano, os outros recebem no 1o. Se a regra for só os 6 anos ainda devemos receber cá em casa.

@jcmsalves @SLBenfica Como é que o Benfica saberia se os miúdos são ou não condicionais!!? Mandam por idades.

O Benfica faz muita merda e muitas vezes dá-nos cabo dos nervos. Mas há coisas que o Benfica faz como ninguém e esta é uma delas. A Eva acabou de receber uma encomenda do Maior e eu até fico emocionada com isto. @SLBenfica muito bem

@walmyrcarvalho Nice. Parabéns e boa sorte

@itomkinas That language is something as well. Nobody uses that anymore. 15 contos is like 75 euros but I really had to focus to remember the escudos to euros conversion. If someone still thinks in escudos I agree they're probably doing something wrong themselves 😅

Do people really think that app can charge anyone randomly and it's not them subscribing? 🤦‍♂️

@walmyrcarvalho 🙈 não quero ver, já estou servido 😅

@walmyrcarvalho @VanMoof I'm sorry it ended like that 😔 I'm sure you'll find something nice pretty quick though.

@walmyrcarvalho @lucas_montano Boa sorte com isso. Espero que consigam resolver os problemas mas se não der, que pelo menos vocês saiam protegidos.

@lucas_montano Valeu ❤️

triste ver um produto de qualidade não conseguir pagar as contas, eu fico de cara por todos engenheiros que fizeram a Vanmoof acontecer techcrunch.com/2023/07/12/rep…
