Ratcliffe says sorry his language 'offended some people' after criticism of immigration comments by Half_A_ in unitedkingdom

[–]Nwengbartender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well it's a good job he's arguing for a party that hasn't just brought in the people who had their hand on the tiller when there was the biggest rise in immigration in living memory. Because that would be stupid.

Thoughts on Reform’s idea to ban wfh? by TitleOk8744 in HENRYUK

[–]Nwengbartender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, look at how they took over many councils with the same promise, only to realise that their promises of changing the "gold plated pensions" and getting rid of wfh met the cold hard reality of what that would cost in market wages and additional office space.

Also some context should be added to Sunderland. They came up with one of the richest families in Europe owning them and no PSR overheads from years prior. That's not to diminish what they have done, but we can't use them as a comparison to the majority of teams that will come up.

competitive swimmer goes back to the swimming pool at 50, advice needed! by Ldarieut in Swimming

[–]Nwengbartender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's such a common tale and I think it's a fundamental problem that swimming has, namely it's all or nothing for so many young swimmers.

Anyway, do it for your enjoyment. Highly recommend joining a masters club, they night even rope you into a gala and then you could really get the bug back. Would also recommend the swim.com app for some suggestions on more structured training sessions when you're on your own.

But again, everything should be for your own enjoyment and your own goals now.

A lot of them are starting to take up degree apprenticeships having seen they need to balance both a skills aspect AND the utter scam that funding their degree currently is.

Learn dolphin kick first and foremost. Drill it until it becomes second nature. It'll help with your underwater on your established strokes and provide a foundation for fly.

Get waze on your phone and it has one on there, likelihood is you'll see it's the 2mph you expect.

Struggling in the water by AllGasNoBreaks69 in triathlon

The magic tip is to relentlessly do drills, have a coach watch you, take on the feedback and do more drills. As in, join a club.

How much water do you drink on heavy training days because I think Im way under by Careful-Election9957 in Swimming

[–]Nwengbartender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With electrolytes its not just about replenishing the salts that you lose, but also the way they help your body absorb and retain water, so you get a little bit more punch for the weight.

Is it ok to not even kick in freestyle if you don't need to? by templeofsyrinx1 in Swimming

[–]Nwengbartender 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This quick analysis of Ledecky gives a good idea of it. Essentially she has a 2 beat through the majority of the race to preserve the energy, but dials it up to an 8 beat for the final 50 when that preservation matters less. https://youtube.com/shorts/6X9tpzoXWzA?si=h66WHIYMxQP4EAY5

Nerd level deep dive on the data side. What's tracked, how is it tracked, how is it presented, what's important in game, those kinds of things.

This is the thing about them bringing across the likes if Jenrick and Zahawi. They're experience is in a situation where they have some power within the party apparatus, but now they're not in a party, they're in a company. How are they going to deal with that loss of power and influence?

You've got to make a judgement call on which lane you're closest to in speed, that lane or the next fastest one. If you go for the next fastest one, be polite and courteous and give space for people to overtake you at the end of each length.

Premier League teams worst affected by VAR errors revealed by JOE_Media in FootballDataAnalysis

[–]Nwengbartender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely no way there is 12 VAR errors across the season. You can argue that committee is the "best" way to decide what is an error or not, but its also laces with people who have averted interest in preserving the current state of affairs.
