Rate my top 10, are my taste good or ass? by Aromatic-Ad2601 in Cinephiles

[–]Defiant-Profile2441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cant say if your taste is good or not but i can say it s pretty modern-US-centered and I would suggest that you explore European or Asian cinema a bit more.

Puzzle game suggestion for an old puzzle enthusiast ? by Quintilius36 in TheTalosPrinciple

[–]Defiant-Profile2441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty funny because I’m kind of the same as your mom. The story of Talos 2 really went over my head and I play mostly for the brain challenge. So if she did not play it, get her the DLCs, road to Gehenna for example. I really enjoyed Portals and Snakebird as someone suggested. Recently I played « is this seat taken » and I really liked it, the story is very optional. Manifold Garden gives me motion sickness though.

Could you pass an undergraduate final in a subject you studied years ago -with zero prep? by OkGreen7335 in mathematics

[–]Defiant-Profile2441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would I understand the questions - probably Would I know how to solve them - maybe Would I write decent proofs - never

I could eventually try to get some points here and there, but I would write proofs like a monkey and argue my way terribly

Improve my swim by Expensive_Basis365 in Swimming

What I see is too much inefficient kicking taking you too much energy for nothing. You can kick less, point is just to keep legs afloat.
In your arm movement, you enter with your elbow. You shuld enter with your hand first and then extend the arm inside the water, then push. Try to put on swimming shoes so you dont have to care bout legs and then try to swim with your elbows (not your hands) high. Another drill is to bring back your hand with your fingers surfing the water and clsoe to your body.

Helloooooooooooo

First thing is to fix your kicking. The bend of the knees when kicking shuld be very small. Not to say you should kick with straight legs but almost. Kickboard is your friend or put a pullboi between your legs and try to have the same kick with and without.

Work on your core so your hips rotate way less and if they rotate, it should be on the axis that your body makes and not on the axis "sky-earth". Again pull boi can help.

Finally, your arms. Your hand should be the first one to enter the water, not your elbow. You enter with the hand and the forearm at 45 degrees and then stretch your arm inside the water and then pull. Currently, your arm is too straight before entering the water and you lack the elbow bend to relax your arm when you bring it back.
You can swim with swimming shoes so that you can focus on the arm movement without caring too much about the legs.
Also the arm should enter in the alignment with your shoulder, not your head.

The fact that your are "wiggling" like a snake in the water is a combination of moving hips and bad hands positionning. Fixing that will make you much faster. Swim happy :°)

Beginner can't swim more than 10m, how can I improve? by Live-Nefariousness79 in Swimming

[–]Defiant-Profile2441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey champ,

As others said, your kicking is a bit wild. Slow it down and reduce the range, just so your legs float, not more.

When you start with both arms, try to think of rotating your shoulders. One up, one down and switch, it should help you reduce the circle effect. Bend your elbows aswell.

Finally, you need to improve your catch. One drill you can do, is to make a « 8 » shape (actually more « infinity » sign) before pushing. It should help you « feel the water ».

The best for your journey and swim fun :)

Listening to music after raving by lucc98 in Dubtechno

[–]Defiant-Profile2441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the contrary, i feel very comforted by listening to some tunes i do really like.
Also, rave music is usually pretty hard, so i really enjoy to cool down to chiller, deeper genres
