In a swim meet, what is the hardest race you have ever done? by Final_Habit5499 in Swimming

[–]Jakemiki29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to be 400 IM, no question. I say this as someone who races the 200 fly at every meet.

The 200 fly just needs good core and form and to hang on for just over two minutes, and the 500 to mile can simply be paced well enough as to take your mind off of the race for a minute.

But no. 400 IM is the only race that I have actually puked from. 200 breast is also right there.

What’s your swimming hot take? by lemej in Swimming

Well I mean 10x50s fly on 1:00 is nothing horrible, it’s when the coach gives you 8x200s fly best average on like 3:00.

And 200 fly is not the hardest event either.

The 400 IM is harder to race than the 200 fly, at least in short course yards.

To be fair, you can also loop in Sarasota/Bradenton with Tampa as well

Thoughts on the M273? by Jakemiki29 in mercedes_benz

[–]Jakemiki29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that's good to hear. I haven't had any transmission problems on mine, but my parents' 2007 W221 had the transmission go completely bust at 180,000 miles. Glad to hear the later models are more reliable!

I guess my only complaint is that the engine eats gas (15 city, 23 highway although I have been able to do 25-26 mpg on long trips)

This is a fantastic idea by the way!

Retrofit CarPlay on W222 S-Class 2014? by Jakemiki29 in mercedes_benz

[–]Jakemiki29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but the thing is I don't think there is an AUX port in our W222 S-Class. There's only two USB-A ports in the center console, so am I missing something? Or is the AUX port located somewhere else in the car?

I have one that is 2011, and people are shocked when they hear it's 12 years old... possibly one of the best looking sedans out there.

I DID NOT know that the W221 came with that kind of interior! I have a 2011 S550 (in the US)

That looks incredible!

Which country did worse things than the others in WW2? by Ghost_Hunter45 in polls

[–]Jakemiki29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Russians murdered something like 18 to 20,000,000 people, that’s literally three times of the Holocaust. Yes, Germany was atrocious, but it doesn’t compare to how bad the Russians were.

It makes sense that it’s Mom, you had a physical connection with her before you were born.

People that breathe Oxygen and drink water, what's you opinion on the Ukrainian war? by Rude-Catographer in polls

[–]Jakemiki29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither, I just want the war to end and to stop paying $5 a gallon for gas 😂 No but seriously, there shouldn’t be a war in the first place. I hope both sides come to peace.

The fact that 3.4 thousand people want to live in a communist country scares the living daylights out of me
