I signed in from my computer and you’re absolutely right. I was wrong; for some reason the iOS mobile app leads to a subscription authorization for $8.
Now I just have to get my head around the tech side of this. Wish me luck!

This looks really good and does look like they have account linking. I’m bummed by the subscription fee…lol it looks so promising I’m sure if I do the free trial I’ll end up loving it.
After years of Mint I’ve decided to look for other options. Im considering doing it myself in a spreadsheet but before I go that route (not ideal) I thought I’d see if anyone had recommendations on good basic family-budget apps. Would be great if it could link with bank accounts but I’m open to anything at this point.

I spent hours researching and tweaking my Garmin’s HRZ’s in my first year of running. It was the most important metric for me to follow and I think it helped me build a nice aerobic base.
As I’m only an amateur I won’t share anything specific but anecdotally, I found that once I dialed in where I “thought” (through many different self-test options I found online) my lactate threshold was and could start to identify that space between zones 3-4 I could then pull back and find my comfortable zone 2 space. After that I started manually adjusting the zones. I will say now I don’t use it as more than an occasional reference. I think a lot of folks (maybe?) migrate to using a combo of HRZ and RPE.
I’d say now I think I know what it feels like when I’m pushing past my lactate threshold and what comfortable and sustainable feels like and try to trust that.
Good luck in your running!!

I’m not a fan of zero-tick or flying machine farms and a lot of SMPs don’t allow zero-tick anyway so this video caught my attention. Using six dispensers per bamboo to simulate a zero-tick-like speed. Obviously, as they build it here, and at this scale, it doesn’t have long term viability but if one was to build 1-2 modules and feed a high yield bonemeal farm into the setup would this be an effective alternative to the highly temperamental flying machine farm?

I’m looking for something besides the standard comparator reading a bees nest set up. I’ve used this setup for years now but it’s hard to keep empty bottles topped off correctly especially when you try to scale. I know ianxofour has the “[Next Gen Honey Farm](https://youtu.be/Yr77PW9OojU)” design and I’ve been considering this build but turned off by the constant noise. (Minor issue) Anyone know of any other options to consider??

Oh. Well, maybe I should remove this. That sucks. :-/

Most of us know mud blocks are in the game but did you know they’re not a full block? And did you also know you can plant sugarcane (and bamboo) on them? You no longer have to lose 50% of your harvest to drops not making it to the line of hoppers in front of the pistons. When making a piston-style sugarcane farm, plant your sugarcane on mud blocks and place your hoppers directly under the mud. Lossless!! Example: https://youtube.com/shorts/ZFtpizbfcKU?feature=share Note: I know large scale flying-machine style farms exist but flying machines and chunk loading gets finicky not to mention the output is often overkill. Also, yes, minecarts would work but…it’s more to craft and I like simplicity!
Something I’ve been toying with in the last year on my preferred server is the idea of using my alt accounts as a way to work around server restrictions like “no tnt duping”. The idea started when I wanted to make an AFKable tree farm and needed a way to destroy the trees. I considered a wither cannon and just making the tnt by hand but then it hit me…bring on an alt to stand under and harvest the piston-fed line of logs. No mod needed, just use F3+T to keep the alt swinging while I use another about to place the saplings. If you didn’t need a renewable source of saplings you could do all of this without any elaborate setup but I wanted the leaf crushers to keep the supply going. I’d love to hear if anyone has other uses for alts in regards to server limitations or farm simplification.

Thank you for this!
I like the idea of 12mi runs split into 4mi segments. Any thoughts on how quickly to do each lap, i.e. faster with more break time vs slow with less break.
The 8+ lap goal was just to hit the 50k mark. I hadn’t even begun to consider what it would mean to run into the night. Does the structure and forced pace equate to being able to do more laps than one planned?
I’m curious what the race looks like for more seasoned backyard runners. Does their pace just wane until they don’t make it around in time or do they quit when they can’t hold a specific threshold. Probably not an across the board thing but just wondered.
As the title says any advice on training for and/or running a backyard ultra for a first timer? Background: I’m one of the “started running during covid”people. No longer morbidly obese and enjoying the hobby a lot! After my first marathon last October I decide to try a 50k in 2023 but have now transitioned to the idea of a backyard ultra with an 8+ lap goal.

Had this conversation today in my main servers discord. The probables with some super efficient farms is they’re efficiency is often sourced from precise timings/expected game mechanics and on most servers this just isn’t realistic. Part of the reason I don’t switch servers too often is I’ve learned what idiosyncrasies my server has and don’t want to re-learn another config.
I’m not sure where or when I heard this but I remember being told that a roof and/or walls around any spawning-type farm will increase rates as it encourages “pack spawning”. Any technically-minded Minecraft peeps out there able to weigh in on this and if it’s still a game mechanic?
