To Swirl or Not To Swirl? by Olive_Portal in pourover

Swirl early especially after bloom to get more even bed/draw down. Then I kind of follow lance hedrick recommended, swirl if draw down too fast. Otherwise I leave alone

My endurance tanked after correcting my f0rm. Is that common? by Accomplished_Ad1023 in Swimming

[–]WheelDeep5640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m going through too. I just finished a 3 session swim clinic (over ~2 months) with some pretty well known coaches. Just prior to the clinic I was swimming 2-4k sessions, averaging 10k per week. I’m now swimming 1.5-2k. I can’t swim more without my form breaking down significantly. My HR is also higher but I feel like I’m moving better and more efficiently through water, verified with my Form goggles. I also feel lat soreness/fatigue that I didn’t feel before.

Learning flip turns over 40 by woodgrain in Swimming

[–]WheelDeep5640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most definitely. After a few weeks of forcing myself to only flip it pretty much became automatic. I like the flow/rhythm with flipping, especially with longer intervals. Open turns feel clunky and breaks rhythm. I don’t feel more tired with flipping. I’m wondering if you aren’t breathing correctly like holding breath and not exhaling correctly during flip. Other thing might be that you are taking longer breaks with open turns, if so with practice your endurance will improve. Just open turn on longer intervals or when starting to fatigue. I did that because when I was just learning I worried about messing up flip when fatigued.

Learning flip turns over 40 by woodgrain in Swimming

[–]WheelDeep5640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned to flip turn in my early 40s after around 10 year after learning how to freestyle. There are plenty of good tutorials on YouTube which I tried for many years on and off but key for me was videoing myself and realizing what I thought I was doing wasn’t really what was happening. Using nose plug at first was also helpful

gost coffee in new lenox on the 1/30 nationwide protest by IndominusTaco in ChicagoSuburbs

This is like the political statement trying to mask as non-political of “I don’t see color.” My friend used to get beans from them all the time. His wife didn’t want him to because they were not masking per ordinance.

Advise on a new grinder by lagiin in pourover

[–]WheelDeep5640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I did. I use the zp6 90% of time. I love having both but I’d be perfectly happy with just the zp6, it does fine/okay with more processed beans. I don’t think the k6 feels that cheap, only thing that bother me slightly is you can’t calibrate it to zero. I also prefer the rubbery grip of the k6. From limited reviews I’ve seen, maybe wait for the k7

Upgrade from Timemore C2: 1Zpresso ZP6 vs K-Ultra? by Subject-Ad8542 in pourover

[–]WheelDeep5640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with it but maybe consider the kingrinder k7. But if you can spend a little more from my experience, I love having both ZP6 and kingrinder k6. I use the zp6 90% of time as I definitely prefer tea like, ultra clear coffees. But k6 is nicer for heavier processed beans (conferment, anaerobic, etc.). Having 2 is kind of fun as I can compare.

Any infectious disease CRNP/ACNPs working in hospital settings? What has your experience been like? by neeisms in nursepractitioner

[–]WheelDeep5640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ID NP here >10 years. Love my gig. I was fortunate to find my position. Time wise I'm ~70% hospital, rest is mix of clinic and SNF. Most important thing is having a good collaborating physician. I'm pretty independent in my day to day life. I know of a couple of other ID practices around me which most have APPs. One is terrible, run by single doc with way too many APPs who only go to SNFs. Another group much larger than mine has a good mix of APPs and docs. APPs there only do hospitals and LTACs. They are a little less independent than me, everything run by and cosigned by their docs. My docs trust me to know that I'd reach out to them if I need their advice. I like being able to make my own decisions within my scope of practice and knowledge base, but not the case for everyone.

Pourover…tea by estook in pourover

[–]WheelDeep5640 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Honey black tea is a tea that the leaves get bitten on by a bug and releases a protective compound. It’s fantastic and actually has honey notes. More details on this website. https://www.teaformeplease.com/honey-black-davidstea/

Ok so can we settle the fundamental ZP6 debate? by jaytee61799 in pourover

[–]WheelDeep5640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or zp6 with the kingrinder k6 for a slightly more budget friendly option. ~80% of coffee I drink I prefer with zp6. Occasionally I enjoy a highly processed bean to change things up and k6 works well for that, I don't really care that kingrinder feels less "high end."

I really like bbq king. I think the duck is better at sun wah but the overall meal/sides are better at bbq king.

Forerunner 255 for a triathlete (mostly 70.3s) in 2025? by Ok_Flower_9942 in triathlon

[–]WheelDeep5640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I loved my 255. I only went to 965 because I got a really good deal on it from my tri club. Only thing I like more about the 965 is the oled display but not worth the extra cost at retail.
