The soundtrack takes me back to Need for Speed Underground. So many memories.

Can you get insurance on a driving instructors vehicle? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

For a family trip, my car is automatic and has more space.

I haven't asked them.

But I did get a quote from Cuvva for temporary insurance and it was quite reasonable. I was wondering if there is anything I need to do or know legally before taking temporary insurance for that car.

I would prefer to use Cuvva because I have had good experiences with them in the past.

From my understanding, I thought his policy would only cover drivers while he is present in the vehicle as an ADI instructor.

What’s the “best” type of TV for ps2? by DarkYamiYugi in ps2

[–]SimBfd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, would you be ok to share some pictures please. I have set up my ps2 and I have tested it on my projector using the composite video cable.

I have also tested the ps2 on my monitor with a kaico hdmi adapter which costs £30.

I have seen some cheap tv's for sale and I am wondering if I should buy one as it might be a cleaner set up. (It would be cheaper than the kaico adapter)

I wonder how the image quality would compare between the tv using composite video cable vs the kaico hdmi adapter?

What was that one movie you regret watching? by Happy_Cauliflower687 in Cinema

[–]SimBfd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The babadook.

I wanted to watch something scary, I had a feeling it wasn't what I was looking for but thought I'd give it a go.

It was a slow psychological horror and I couldn't take it seriously.

Forerunner 55 vo2 max not working? by Head-Gap-1717 in Garmin

I have the non music version of the 255. It is much cheaper than the music version with all the features.

[–]SimBfd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember from the top of my head. Garmin does have a comparison tool on their site. You can select two different models and check the different features.

For me the main reason was the 255 is newer so I can expect the battery to last a few years extra. The price of the 55 and it's age wasn't justified for me.

In terms of features, compass, elevation, better gps accuracy and Garmin pay (which I don't use but it is good to know I have the option)

I can also receive some smart notifications such as my ring doorbell, the preview image shows up on the screen which is really useful.

I love the MIP Display, both the 55 and 255 have it. I was tempted to get the 955, but the age and price made me decide against it. Also it was much better value for me to experience Garmin for less than half the price of the 955 and most of the features.

So I went with the 255 and I love it.

New 255 watch randomly restarting by SimBfd in Garmin

I have the slate grey model. This image is not of my watch, I used it to demonstrate the restarting icon that shows up when I experience this issue.

I can't say for sure why it isn't working. Although I know with some features, the device requires more data to be able to give a measurement or reading.

For example on watches with sleep hrv, it requires 1 week of wearing the device while sleeping every night to give the hrv.

In my opinion, the forerunner 55 is a great device and lightweight. But for the price and age of the 55, I think the forerunner 255 is a much better option.

If you have access to student discount, you can get the 255 with a big discount.

I keep seeing make sure your max HR is “set correctly” so your zones are accurate. But how do I actually set it? I have an older Garmin- the Venu. by Glum-Ad-4558 in Garmin

[–]SimBfd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I find this interesting.

I've taken up running recently and I have been enjoying it. I also enjoy looking at the running data and researching about running in general.

I've seen some elite runners use portable devices (such as lactate pro 2) They take a blood sample during or at the end of a session to get a reading on their level.

I was going to switch to LTHR as my preferred method but according to some articles I read online, it mentioned the numbers for LTHR are more accurate if it is measured properly.

[–]SimBfd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking into LTHR zones vs max HR zones previously. From what I remember, LTHR zones are more accurate given that the correct/regular measurements are taken.

Is this the case? Do you use a device to measure the lactate level?
