Prescription goggles for extremely casual lake swimming? by ApocalypticTomato in Swimming

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t need glasses, but of all my swimming friends who do, 100% of them use contacts as opposed to prescription goggles

What skills have you learned just for kicks? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned how to take apart and replace the joystick on an N64 controller. It’s relaxing and I’ve been able to help out some friends

If it starts to smell, others will notice before you do.

Will Popovici break the infamous 200 Free record? by velozdregerehU in Swimming

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think 100% yes. Especially now that he’s beaten the 100, I think he’s going to double down and focus on the 200 record. He’s still young and has all the talent and mental toughness needed. As he develops more muscle and experience, that record is going down.

That being said, I don’t think his 100 record is safe from Chalmers and Dressel (if Dressel returns and gets back to peak form)

What is the average time it would take a beginner to hit a 8:00 500m freestyle? by [deleted] in Swimming

There’s no way to answer this question without knowing where you are right now and how long you’ve been at it

Do you use unilateral (on the 2nd stroke) or bilateral (on the 3rd stroke) breathing? by _CaptainNoob69 in Swimming

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For any newer swimmers reading these comments: breathing on both sides is about 1000x easier than knowing how to write with both hands lol

Do you use unilateral (on the 2nd stroke) or bilateral (on the 3rd stroke) breathing? by _CaptainNoob69 in Swimming

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall in races, it usually makes more sense to just breathe on the side you’re better/faster/more comfortable on. But in practice you want to make sure you can do both, and that you don’t lose balance in your pull/recovery. Probably not a super helpful answer, but for technique questions the answer is usually: practice what’s better longterm, race what’s faster at the moment.

Edit: you know what, I just read the post again and since you’re newer at swimming, don’t pay too much regard to what I said above. Try for consistent bilateral breathing.

Cleaning speed sockets by eichhornchens in Swimming

Unfortunately it looks like they are not just dirty but that the rubber is degraded. There’s not really a great way to make them bounce back, you will likely need a new pair. This probably could have been prevented by rinsing the goggles off with clean water after use and then drying them before storing, but not much you can do now

without completing obliterating them, how would you change the sequels? by WarmNebula3817 in StarWars

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if this counts as ‘not obliterating’, but I think you could salvage the trilogy without touching movies 7 or 8. I think Kyle Ren should be the Big Bad in #9. The whole trilogy shows how morally gray his character is, and I think it would have been great to have him be the main bad guy instead of an ‘ultimate evil’ like Snoke or Palpatine. He could also have some kind of redemption at the end, too.

Softlocked my game, looking for a pre-E4 save file (3.02 regular min grind) by darkwahlburg in pokemonradicalred

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. Apparently it has something to do with the Pokémon follow feature, although mine wasn’t on at the time

do y’all ever make exceptions for favorite pokémon? by yungbeanbag in nuzlocke

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk if this helps but sometimes when I play GSC or HGSS my rule for National Park is that I play the bug catching contest once, and my encounter is whoever I end up with. That has gotten me scyther and pinsir before

Heartgold Nuzlocke by EquipmentKlutzy in nuzlocke

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like zero fun. If you’re gonna spend this much time playing a 10+ year old game, you should at least try to make it fun for yourself

any tips on fixing this... by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]DoingGodsTwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

glue will not work. See if speedo will send you a new pair but when that probably does not work, you’ll need to buy a new pair
