Brand New Beats Solo 3 Wireless on-ear headphones £SOLD

I got these with my new laptop and don't really need them. They retail for £180 but given the current student promotion, it looks like they're going for around £100 on eBay.

Films of the last couple of weeks:

Bait - this will be a film that everyone is gonna miss but it could be my favourite film of the year so far.

The Farewell - also super enjoyable.

Ad Astra - steaming pile.

The temperature is really starting to drop and anything below 10 is a bit chilly in just a singlet and shorts.

What do people here go for? Trackies or tights? Sweaty running jacket or just a jumper?

Nutmeg have socially responsible fund, however...

tl;dr

• Obviously, there are some companies that do 'bad' e.g. tobacco companies, arms manufacturers but lots of companies that might be doing 'good' will have to do some bad things.
  
• Impact investing, in general, underperforms traditional funds. You'd be better off to donate the difference to a highly effective charity, e.g. ones recommended by GiveWell. FYI they currently recommend the Malaria Consortium at the most cost-effective charity to give to at the moment.
  
• There are arguments that disinvestment actually causes more harm
  

Keen to go the Oval for one of the days - probably Thursday or Friday. Does anyone have any tips or is it just not going to happen unless we shell out the £££?

Good effort! I’ve found having a race/event pencilled in is a good way to keep the motivation up.

@Stonehedge another one for the Brooks Ghost although as others have said head down to good running shop and see what they’ve got to say.

I'd maybe skip It 2... depends if you've got an evening you'd like to kill.

I spent a good amount of the film marvelling in how my friend across the aisle and 2 rows ahead managed to rustle his bag of popcorn so loudly that I could hear him and then secondly that he was still chomping his way through the popcorn a good 2 hours into the film.

I think about an hour of this film could've been cut and we'd have been left with something a lot better.

Went to a double bill of It and It 2 last night. It 2 was just a boring mess and seeing it straight after It made it even clearer how bad it was.

In other news Pain and Glory is fantastic

Bump: price drop

Would anyone like to take advantage of my student discount? I think it gets you 10% off Macs and iPad plus free Beats - which you can obviously sell to recuperate the costs.

Anyone know if it’s a one per student kinda thing?

I’ve only tried the Berry Granola and it’s pretty good.

100grams of granola and 100ml of Soy Milk seems to be an adequate breakfast.

The best thing I’ve found for is snacking. I’ve always found liquid Huel a bit of a faff for having as a snack.

Brilliant brilliant ride Frank! Especially with your neck and a separated shoulder

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve been a personal mission to get everyone to see this film. The soundtrack has been on hard rotation for the last couple of months

Bump: I've added some parts onto this frame-set and wheels and turned it into a complete bike

A classic

Oh no... I’ve ordered 4 packs. Was thinking with some Soy milk it’d be quite nice

.

EDIT: I've put a bit of effort into this and fixed and cleaned it up so that it's now in a working condition and have parts-binned it into a complete bike.

I built this up about 5 years ago and unfortunately, don't use it anymore. The frame as you can see is in fairly bad condition and was subject to a blowtorch when the seat post got stuck. There is also a fair amount of cosmetic rust. However, with a bit of TLC and a paint job, this could look spick and span.

Initially, I'm trying to sell it as a complete bike for £200 ONO:

1. Lo-pro frame (approximately 54cm squared)
   
2. 650c forks (I believe they're BLB)
   
3. Headset - the top part is a Mavic headset and the bottom I can't remember
   
4. Bottom bracket
   
5. Dura-Ace chainset - this is not a pista trackset
   
6. Wheelset - SystemEx hubs laced to non-machined Velocity rims, handbuilt by Bicycle Ambulance in Cambridge. There are a few marks on the rims but they still run true and smoothly
   
7. Tyres and tubes - they're quite old but should see you through for a while
   
8. ITM TT bars -one of the pads is missing
   
9. KMC Chain
   
10. MKS pedals (can chuck in some straps)
    
11. Specialized Seatpost
    
12. Unknown saddle
    
    

I'll consider splitting if I find a seller for the wheels but at the moment would like to sell a package.

Been away from the world of Huel for 6 months now and it looks there a bunch of new things to try. What’s good? Anyone tried the granola?

Why don’t you think it’s accidental?

Yeah Strava

Having gone from an Apple Watch to Garmin in the last few months it’s definitely a lot more trustworthy.

If you ran 6.2km this morning it doesn’t look like it was subject to too much dodgy GPS

I’m keen to do the Oxford half in October but entry is now closed. They still have charity places. How does this actually work? I’ve filled in the submission box for a couple of the charities I’d heard of but haven’t heard anything back.

That would explain it - damp feet from coming out of the shower.
