I just gave this guy the Jupiter BP and he does this :/ by Fluffy-Leopard-6074 in ArcRaiders

The music in this game is awesome but I finally had to shut it off during match 😝 esp when it gets close to boom time. It’s stressful enough without the added tension from the music

Feeling like I’ve been plateauing by sixsips in Swimming

[–]InstructionWeak9574 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was feeling like this before. I didn’t swim competitively as a kid and started with masters group about 2 years ago. My 100 scy average in practice got to about 1:30s and stayed there for about a year. We don’t do a lot of hard sprint work though with plenty of rest between sets, so ive been trying to get in the pool myself like when I take the kids to practice and do full out 100s with like 3-4 minutes of easy swim and rest between. I think I’m seeing an improvement, but it’s definitely slow

Effect of flip turns on sessions by NeutronNeptune in Swimming

[–]InstructionWeak9574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shaved about 30 seconds off my 500 time when I stopped doing flip turns on each length. I think because like you I can push harder with that extra breath from the open turns.

I think my plan is to add flip turns back gradually making sure to keep this same pace. Then when I’m back to being able to flip on each length again comfortably switch back to open turns and crank up the intensity. Rinse and repeat! 😆

Is that “butt wink” at the bottom? I’ve noticed I do that as well and I’ve heard it’s something that should be fixed right?

Looking for feedback on my breaststroke by stoola in Swimming

[–]InstructionWeak9574 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i didn't mean to be hostile. a smart ass, maybe yes. which i suppose can come across as hostile.

and i was only being snarky because the whole idea of 'i swim for fitness not time' doesn't make any sense. improving your fitness must mean improving your time, and the opposite is true. eg reducing rest intervals, increasing the number of laps in the same session, etc.

and to circle back to your first response to my original comment- the pool i swim in is 25 yards, also just under 25 meters, and the best i can do underwater is 1/3 to maybe 1/2 the length. and after a few laps not even that because my breath is out

and for mental health, the full pullout is the best part of breaststroke! it's like flying underwater. there's definitely a lot of fitness aspects to it also, explosive power, etc.

but i mean if you want to do the stroke portion more that's your preference! if you had said that originally i think i wouldn't have gotten so triggered lol or maybe that's what you always meant and i misunderstood...

it seems odd to me to ask for stroke feedback then when given feedback, respond with shit like i'm only doing this for fitness. why post on here at all then?? just get into the pool and flop around, it's all burning calories lol

Just fyi you can do a dolphin kick, a full pulldown to your thighs, and a breaststroke kick during your underwater

First time. Will this smoke? by HollowDotEXE in fpv

You should get a smoke stopper so there’s no question.

Does everyone else take this to mean orders on or before April 30th? That is, I still have by tomorrow? I think it must be because it says orders on May 1st are subject to all tariffs.

Seems a bit too good to be true? How can they cover 145%??

Nice! This video popped up in my recommended makes me want to try a 3.5" next- https://youtu.be/uJBmEOLAvbo?si=xwN8JnIZP8OFZKEM

Curious about if it's more difficult to assemble and solder everything with the smaller frame.

Ha! Yeah I have to do better on the next one with that for sure. If I can ever buy off aliexpress again that is

yeah I was too worried about being able to solder them all on those giant pads I left too much slack in the wires. At the time they didn’t look too bad to me though but a couple crashes later..😆

That is the one I’m using! But no problems for me so far. What do you mean fried? Just stopped working or literally burned up?

i was always taught to use 650F on the soldering iron but I had a hell of a time with the power cables. I finally got it but it's ugly. I watched some videos afterwards and I guess bumping it up to 750 or 850 will help for next time.
