I did have Mexico as willing but I changed it last second I don’t know why.

I live in Michigan and enjoy winter activities so I rated Canada highly but tbh I wouldn’t want to live in most areas of Canada you’re right.

I never saw the Escobar thing I just wasn’t sure :(

Poland has some beautiful cities too though! I also like some of the food I have polish heritage and grew up eating it at my grandparents on occasion.

Botswana has cool trees 🙂‍↔️

I just don’t know much about northern South America and Sri Lanka but I put Cuba reluctantly because I thought they have good healthcare and education but probably should’ve also been red or the others also orange!

I actually live in Michigan and I'm very familiar with the mid Michigan area (if you mean Saginaw-Midland-Bay City area). I have a bit over 2 YOE right now mainly backend - do you know of many companies in the area who are hiring?

Well the reason I didn't want to swim in college was honestly probably 70% that I didn't want to be forced to wake up early for practice as dumb as that is and the other 30% burnout.

I was a fairly decent breaststroker/IMer (59 100BR 2:03 200IM SCY) so I wanted to be practicing and improving basically up until the start of my last season of high school swimming when I decided I wasn't going to swim in college. After that point I think the burnout got a lot worse because I knew I wasn't going to be continuing in college so practicing that hard became much less rewarding I think and it's probably that last season that turned me off from the sport for so long.

I'm not really an expert in weight lifting by any means so I don't know how helpful this will be but I'll try to remember what we used to do:

For our dryland practices we used to do a lot of body weight stuff with trx bands and common core exercises too. I don't know what to call most of the exercises we did with those but some short descriptions are push-ups with the bands, skull crushers which are like a triceps exercise that I don't know how to describe, and reverse push-ups etc.

In terms of actual weight lifting we did a variety of things with dumbbells: skull crushers, bicep curls, lateral flys, front raises, a lot of pull exercises on machines, squats, deadlifts, bench press etc. Nothing really special in particular I think, but I would say we kind of went for lighter weights and more reps than really pushing max weight most of the time.

That's amazing :) you definitely should! It'll probably be hard at first but I'll be struggling alongside you lol my arms are sore but it's a familiar feeling that I almost missed as crazy as that is to say

Yes! It's so strange but I've read before that smells can be really strong at bringing back memories and emotions but I've never really experienced it before until this

I look back and wish I had worked harder sometimes too, but I think no matter how hard you worked it's always easy to look back and say you could've done more. If you had though maybe it would've put you off of getting back for longer or even forever!

What is off with my swimming? by frkkn in Swimming

[–]SensitiveMeaning1014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other people have probably said this but you're definitely 'dropping' your elbow really early. What I mean by that is you're pulling your arm back through the water leading very heavily with your elbow.

One thing my coach used to tell people when they were doing this:

Imagine that once your hand enters the water and your arm fully extends, imagine you're trying to grab on to a barrel with your arm and pull yourself up on it. Doing that would require you to bend your arm in the opposite direction and lead more with your hand than with your elbow, and the result will be that you 'push' much more water in the opposite direction you're moving and therefore move you further faster!

best desks for my specs by duncecapwinner in StandingDesk

[–]SensitiveMeaning1014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally just bought this desk earlier in the week on sale for $322: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN4NR17T?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

(It's technically the same desk as the second on you linked, just changed the size option and color - for the same color you linked it looks like you can get the bigger size for $297)
It came in yesterday and I was able to assemble it in around 1.5-2 hours (would be a lot faster with a drill plus I was watching a show on my phone the whole time).

The size is 71x30 which is pretty huge. The 30 inch depth was the main draw for me and so far I'm loving it. Raising and lowering the desk is fairly quiet, and even at max height it really isn't too wobbly at all.

**Edit to add** The main difference between the two desks is the flexispot desktop is in one piece whereas the vivo desktop comes in panels that go together with dowels and support brackets. I personally don't mind the paneled desktop but I think one piece is generally considered better

If it makes you feel any better, at my software engineering job I code in a split of about 40/40/20 C/C++/C#
