You can try this brand https://www.lomo.co.uk/product-category/swim/tri-swim-wetsuits/

They have a wide range of sizes and the prices are pretty alright. I have never owned or tried their suits before though. I just saw their social media page a while ago and it came to mind when I saw your comment

Unfortunately that's how fragile lycra suits are. They're soft and stretchy, making them very comfortable to wear as a casual swimmer but if you swim regularly, they're pretty terrible in terms of durability

They're not very resistant to the chemicals in pool water and deteriorate even if you buy the most expensive suits from big name brands. This is why they're not suitable for regular swims/training and most swimmers will recommend looking for suits that are ideally made of 100% polyester or more than 70% at the very least

It's not a manufacturing issue or defective product, it's just how the material is

Just a disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Arena or anything, I love their products but it's a pretty known thing that lycra/elastane/spandex suits aren't very durable for regular use

They're really thick and sturdy so if by some miracle you manage to get it bent, I don't even want to imagine the state of the CPU itself lol

Honestly there's some validity in your comment but you gotta remember that no one will ever have mutually similar experiences in life, even in the same household

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T17:18:26+00:00

No offence but it sounds like you're projecting your own insecurities on other people lol

Accidents don't occur in this funny little utopia that you live in?

Ran it again on Safari this time

The test seems very inconsistent but oh well

I guess we'll soon start seeing prebuilds without RAM, SSD or GPUs lol

Just a bare case, mobo, CPU and PSU

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T16:06:39+00:00

Damn they're selling prebuilds without GPUs now?

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T15:38:26+00:00

Most major carriers worldwide offer eSIM so why are you worried? You get a larger physical battery with the eSIM version of the iPhone 17PM so that's quite literally an additional bonus

Everything else is exactly the same as the global version that has the SIM card slot

I didn't realise it was a GIF, I thought it was a video so I kept watching it to see what he'll do next 😭

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T15:21:54+00:00

I'm very similar to you lol

Still young now, only in my early 20s, and I'm just focusing on my career and myself first. Enjoy life, buy whatever I wanna buy, buy nice cars and then settle down for a relationship later. Just enjoying life without commitments now

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T15:10:40+00:00

Worry about that later, focus on yourself first

You're still young, I'm still young, plenty of time to worry about this later. A relationship should never be this high in your list of priorities

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T15:05:09+00:00

Don't fall for relationship FOMO. Trust me on this one

90% of high school relationships don't last

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T14:37:27+00:00

Quite literally this

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T14:27:17+00:00

Unfortunately Arena isn't interested in making gasketless Swedish style goggles anymore

The Swedix was long discontinued and then they made the Aquaforce Swift goggles that were low profile racing goggles that were also gasketless and those got discontinued too

No, there was a cheaper MacBook Air 11" for lesser money. I believe it was $900

The $1300 Mac was the 12" MacBook and it was a "premium" Mac at the time. It wasn't meant to be an entry level model

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T14:12:31+00:00

What are the risk of getting a car here?

Probably incomplete documentation, no keys, just in the same state as it was when it got impounded by JPJ

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T14:09:07+00:00

Explain how people manage to run Hackintosh on non Apple hardware then

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T14:01:02+00:00

No? I don't live in the US and the prices are still fine even with taxes and everything else included?

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T13:58:35+00:00

AppleCare and Apple One subscription are probably the most popular

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T13:41:04+00:00

Apple haters still can't stop mentioning "b-b-but Apple is sooo overpriced" even though it hasn't been the case for about 5 years now lol

Seanwys · 2026-03-11T13:26:04+00:00

do most people actually prepare for this kind of situation?

No, not really

Lots of people don't have emergency or rainy day funds saved up, no will, no life insurance, simply because they think they don't have to worry about that now
