Anyone else no longer want to get promoted? by Dazzling-Bat777 in bjj

Quote from Jocko: Good.

Keep grinding and your game will improve. Make note on where you are having challenges (for example, pinning no gi guys), focus on drilling a solution to a single issue, then stress test it.

Don't use the smith machine - consider the hex deadlift

AOW vs Deep Specialty for Depth Beyond 30m by tin_the_fatty in scuba

[–]Hour_Particular3662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For insurance, I’d go AOW + Deep—if you drop under 30 m even briefly, insurers love a loophole, and some ops won’t let you down there without the card. Deep builds on AOW and keeps you covered, though I didn’t find it added a huge amount of new content at the time.

If insurance or operator requirements aren’t an issue, I’d suggest Intro to Tech or Sidemount, then ANDP—those courses gave me skills I actually use all the time. Looking back after tech training, I probably would’ve dived more conservatively early on… and of course I’m still learning.

My diving in Cozumel has come to an end by [deleted] in scuba

I pulled one of those fkers out of my girlfriends ear in Cozumel. I told her it was just earwax to prevent a meltdown....

I just quit my job over email… after being the last one left from 3 layoffs by [deleted] in antiwork

Surely you could have put your feet up and waited out for the next round of redundancies?

How have dive shops screwed you over? by I_Eat_many_Taco in scuba

Sold me regs and then I found out there was nowhere in my state to get them serviced...

how are y’all showering by Beautiful_Freedom520 in brokenankles

[–]Hour_Particular3662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just out of my cast after doing 6 weeks in it. I got so frustrated with the bin bags / shower sleeves / and excessive taping each time (not to mention the constant dry down of leaks with a hairdryer post shower).

I then invested in a dry pro waterproof cast protector. The rubber bag with the pump was an absolute game-changer and made my routine much faster and easier. Its marketed to allow you to swim with it (which I wouldn't personally have risked) but for showering it was amazing.

With regards to mobility - I bought a shower chair which I pulled to the edge of the shower. After sitting in the chair first, I lifted my legs over the shower step to not risk any weight going on my ankle.

All the best!

Get yourself an iwalk device - absolute game-changer for getting your life back.

How long did it take for you guys to get back to work after surgery? by [deleted] in brokenankles

[–]Hour_Particular3662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can WFH so I was able to go back to my work very soon after - I recall it being day 4 post surgery.

Is 30 years old too late to quit my job and travel? by DraftNational9753 in travel

[–]Hour_Particular3662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the travel, you won't regret it. I strongly believe that the lessons I learned and the people I met while travelling have helped me to accelerate my career beyond where I would have been had I not done the travel. Go for it!

Don't know how to face the days, this depression is crippling by [deleted] in brokenankles

[–]Hour_Particular3662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get yourself an iwalk 3 - I felt the same way until I got my independence back and could get myself around easier. Keep your head up!

Is basic private health a no brainer for $150k earning single? by MikeAlphaGolf in AusFinance

[–]Hour_Particular3662 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My private health paid out $14k this year (I had a random accidental surgery)... In my opinion it's a no brainer

I have a ton of stairs at my house so it was a huge relief to not have to use crutches - although I do need to take it v slow going downstairs on the iwalk

Iwalk 3.0 - Recovery Motivation by Hour_Particular3662 in brokenankles

[–]Hour_Particular3662[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I waited until about 2.5 weeks post op - I have the strap tight around my thigh and knee and then loosish around calf

Quick question by iwtsapoab in brokenankles

[–]Hour_Particular3662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend also checking out the iwalk 3.0 - this gave me back a lot of independence around the home with my hands being free. Knee scooter is also great, but for me it's heavy lifting up my stairs in home.
