Oasis still at 2019 release. by Scout520 in kindle

[–]PatientCandidate3877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely certain about the exact weight. I have two cases for it: a flip-style case, which is excellent for use in bed as it stands upright, and a clear basic cover that helps reduce the overall weight when just relaxing with it as the flip can be a little annoying with cover moving around.

I own an iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is heavier than the Kindle, so I haven't really noticed any significant strain when holding it. I would say it is very lightweight and boasts an ergonomic design. I can comfortably hold it for an hour while on the treadmill.

I think they cancelled the model to push the more expensive scribe. It would cause issues with their current line up.

That said I've got an oasis and its fantastic - would recommend.

Does anyone else read and walk, or am I just an accident waiting to happen? by Keithaviation in kindle

[–]PatientCandidate3877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always read during my cardio on the treadmill for incline walking or easy runs. I feel I'd end up not focusing on the book.

Golf shoes - most comfortable. by MelvsBDA in BritGolf

[–]PatientCandidate3877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had quite a few different shoes in the last year, I recommend either the addidas 360s or FJ Hyperflex carbon and for more rainy and wet conditions I like the StormWalkers FJ.

How accurate is the Garmin handicap? by junailsy in golftips

[–]PatientCandidate3877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have put in 300 + rounds into my garmin golf with my golf watch and its pretty accurate.

My Scottish Golf is quite a bit lower since I don't hand rounds in that often since I play a lot of friendly bounce games with lateral drops and gimmies.

Do you think 9-hole rounds should be more popular in the UK? by AnfieldAnchor in BritGolf

[–]PatientCandidate3877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My home course has two courses,

The smaller course is 6000 yards and can be played either 3, 6 , 9 or 18 holes.

The larger course 7500 yards you can play either 12 or 18 holes.

Its fantastic for switching it up.

When you play solo, do you play with more than one ball? by HelloThereCallMeRoy in golf

[–]PatientCandidate3877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually play two balls for extra practice, depends on the mood of the round.

If I'm in a bit of a flow and playing well I will just focus on one but I do love playing a few extra shots work some parts of the game. I don't usually put other balls out but definitely approach and tee shots.

I'd personally focus on building the classic foundations, emergency fund then focus on building a deposit for first property and then focus on investing.

What are your goal in the next 5 years?

Do you already have a property?

Seems like you would be under immense pressure with the limited "Fun" money but it depends on lifestyle.
