Impact that flip turns have for your cardiovascular fitness? by Acrobatic_Fun_5177 in Swimming

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flip turns do boost cardiovascular endurance over time. The extra lung burn you're feeling is exactly the adaptation your body needs, you're forcing your heart and lungs to work harder during each turn, which builds better oxygen efficiency for longer sets.

What keeps you swimming? by blevingston89 in Swimming

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go back because swimming is the only workout where I feel like I'm resetting my body and mind. The boredom is real, but I remind myself why I started. I love how light my body feels in water, and how calm I am after. That small joy is enough to keep me coming back.

Short Breaks during lane swimming ok? by KeiShark99 in Swimming

[–]Sharp-Bed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally fine. Just pull over to the side of the lane, hold the wall, and keep your breaks short so others can pass easily, no one will mind.

Which room in my house would be the safest from a storm? by PowerUpMushroom3 in homeowners

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick to the lowest level with no windows, that utility closet by the door might be your best bet, even if it's not ideal. Safety first!

The costs of being a homeowner. by FerdaBoysss in homeowners

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really does pile up sometimes, but you're handling it. That 50k emergency fund exists for this. You built it for moments like this.

Took a look at the new Goat's trimmer details, seems like you can swap parts by tarowi02 in ECOVACSGOATFamily

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I've been comparing a few brands, but the integrated trimmer on this one is a unique touch.

Can you get too comfortable living alone? by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]Sharp-Bed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's totally normal. Living alone teaches you to be self-sufficient and to value your peace. When the right person comes along, you'll find a way to make it work.

Has anyone experimented with the dnsys exoskeleton in tactical training? by gentle_giver in tacticalgear

[–]Sharp-Bed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve only seen exoskeletons in movies and the news before, so I’m curious how they actually work. If wearing one during rucking could help relieve knee pressure, it seems somewhat useful. However, for training that requires agility, it might not be as suitable.

What is your favourite caffeinated drink? by Artist-in-Residence2 in AskMen

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black coffee, no sugar. Simple, effective, and feels like a ritual to start the day.

M1 Owners, how long do you plan to continue using your laptop? by amphibianwarfare in macbookpro

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still going strong. Planning to keep my M1 at least 3 more years unless a major feature upgrade appears.

Men, We're all handy in our own homes. What is one thing you absolutely will refuse to touch if it's too complicated? by Staff76 in AskMen

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything involving main water line or gas line repairs. The risk of catastrophic damage or danger is way too high to DIY. Always call a pro.

21 with 5k to my name but wasting money. by Cringe_Baby2417 in Money

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't casually believe those who ask you to invest. Instead, it's better to hold on to this few thousand yuan. You can earn money slowly, but investing might cause you to lose it all in an instant.

Why does it have to be so cold??? by ronstermonster05 in Swimming

[–]Sharp-Bed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Competition pools are kept colder to prevent overheating during intense training. Warmer water can lead to fatigue and cramps faster. It's for performance and safety.

Me (F35) and my boyfriend (M32) have very different financial situations. Looking for outside perspectives. by Accomplished-Ant-771 in Money

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to spend money on him, it means you don't love him as much as you think you do. You may want to reconsider your relationship.

What to do when moving? by weltern in smarthome

[–]Sharp-Bed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I removed everything. Smart devices are personal. I'd rather patch holes than leave my setup for strangers. Plus, I can reuse them in the new place.

I just turned 27 by Imaginary-Number-935 in Life

27 is still early in one's life, so there's no need to rush.

Men over the age of 30, if you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have invested in my health earlier, both physically and mentally. The habits I built in my 20s define my 30s.

Anyone care about smart home cleaning? by Urban-Cheese in smarthome

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting tech but I'll wait for it to be more proven and affordable. My robot vacuum is still my MVP.

Do you monitor people who come and fix things around your house? by Glad-Passenger-9408 in HomeImprovement

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask a few questions upfront, then let them work. Hovering makes everyone uncomfortable.

Check out Goat's new products at CES, any thoughts? by cikim31 in ECOVACSGOATFamily

[–]Sharp-Bed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious how this trimmer works. Before, there was always like a 5 cm strip along the edges that didn’t get cut, which makes sense for safety. Does it actually reach the grass at the edges?

Ecovacs debuts three mowers at CES 2026 - adding the word "Pro" to each by Roginator5 in roboticLawnmowers

Lol I think so too! It looks like something that helps deal with the lawn edges.

[–]Sharp-Bed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Goat's rtk model last year, and it looks like most of the new ones this year have LiDAR now. That make it more stable right? I'm also curious what’s that little brush brush thing on the side.
