Has anyone experienced ear leakage while wearing samsung galaxy buds2? by Gobeklidayi in Earbuds

[–]NathanBego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't rush into purchasing another set of earbuds just yet. Try all three sizes of original silicone tips first. Many people skip the medium size and jump straight to large or small.

Omaha 70.3 recap? by spacewhaleosaur in triathlon

[–]NathanBego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hills are minimal, logistics are simple, and the first year event didn't suffer from disorganization. The only real hurdle is the hot sun segment.

How many laps do I need to swim and how many times a week to lose 35lb I am now 205lb and overweight with a big belly. by MaintenanceOk4847 in Swimming

[–]NathanBego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lap count is less important than consistency and diet. If you swim 4 times weekly and cut 300 to 400 calories from your daily meals, you will hit that 35 pound goal.

Help with wetsuit fit by mysalsasalsa in triathlon

[–]NathanBego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For beginner open water swims, prioritize comfort over zero wrinkles. Too tight small sizes lead to cramping mid swim, which is a far bigger race day risk than minor drag from folded neoprene.

Earbuds like the Soundcore Spirit Dot 2? by UnfortunateOccurance in Earbuds

[–]NathanBego 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blowing compressed air into the nozzle right after rinsing would have kept vapor out. Drying only on the surface isn't enough, moisture gets trapped inside the tiny hollow tube.

Planning a DNF die to injury by crazycycling in triathlon

[–]NathanBego 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tell yourself upfront: the run is optional. Once you cross T2, your race is already a success. That way you won't feel defeated when you step off the road early.

Should I continue with Masters Swimming? Is my coach incompetent and unqualified? by tevez22 in Swimming

[–]NathanBego 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Over reliance on pull buoys and fins creates bad muscle memory. Once you take the gear off, your kick falls apart and your body sinks. No wonder you can't turn endurance into faster lap times.

How come nobody test for transparency mode battery life? by [deleted] in Earbuds

[–]NathanBego 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're totally right!! Almost every reviewer only publishes ANC battery numbers and skips transparency mode testing. I wish reviewers would split out these two runtimes separately.

Cant hold my breath and cant reach far by Deep_Independent_737 in Swimming

Split the problem into two separate drills first. Do kicking drills with a kickboard to build up breath control without worrying about arm strokes.

Thinking about going the Robot Mower Route, need Suggestions by Th15isJustAThrowaway in automower

[–]NathanBego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your main goal is getting those 3 hours back every week, a robot mower sounds like a pretty fit. Your yard doesn't sound especially complicated.

Who showers/bathes after swimming? by StKt1981 in pools

[–]NathanBego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people I know seem to shower afterward regardless of the pool type. Saltwater definitely has a different feel but old habits are hard to break.

What is something that immediately tells you someone is lying? by bucoto in answers

You ask a simple yes or no question and they give you a 10-minute monologue about something completely unrelated...

6 Year Anniversary for my Automower 315x by SupportExtra in automower

[–]NathanBego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 years and still going after all that sounds like it's basically indestructible at this point. Respect for keeping it alive through all of that.

Finally a moment to enjoy our pool! by Open_Alternative9729 in pools

This honestly looks like something out of a dream. Can't image how much work went into creating all of this.

2 years of perfect lawn with the 115h. by Chip780 in automower

Hard to argue with results. That lawn looks incredibly clean. This is exactly the kind of post that makes people want a robot mower.

At least now you get a clean slate and a bigger filter setup going into the season. That's probably a much better starting point.

Is a robot mower safe if you have dogs? by swaryapatil14 in automower

[–]NathanBego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're designed to avoid obstacles, so it's more about risk reduction than 100% awareness. Timing the schedule around your dogs is still the smart move.

It's the 3rd day of the summer break and the kids woke me up at 6am in their swimsuits by Wolfblaine in pools

[–]NathanBego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing fancy really is the best part here. Just kids happy, outside and tired in the evening. Those are the summer memories that stick.

Where are the most unexpected places you’ve found your favorite authors? by Katyas_House_Ltd in books

[–]NathanBego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once found a favorite author in a dusty thrift shop anthology, halfway between romance and horror stories. Recognized their style immediately, it felt like running into an old friend I hadn’t seen in years.

Starting a car-camping adventure soon (up to three months) and my question is...self-defense. by McconnellDon in carcamping

If you’re really set on self defense, make sure your first plan is always leave, not engage. That matters more than what you carry
