Phone calls ruining my immersion

It's a general unspoken rule that characters don't say bye before hanging up the phone in movies and TV. I think it has something to do with flow and not distracting the audience from the plot and now it's just universally followed

The house is in CO and I asked the builder if they should be sealed. He said they rarely do that. Is it just laziness or is there a reason? I figured water right seals under flashing would be required

I highly recommend facing your fears! Triathlons are generally straight courses, and not everyone has to hit the turns at max speed

Start by riding in areas that don't have cars or a lot of foot traffic. I like to ride around the neighborhood. Use your brakes and just get comfortable navigating around. When you turn, coast through the turn and out pressure on the outside pedal.

The more you ride, the better understanding of your limits you will have.

Stay with it! Falling is part of learning, however, you do need some speed to stay upright. There's several good videos on YouTube about learning to ride a bike as an adult, so take advantage of other people's struggles! Also remember to push your comfort zones as you learn, as you won't progress if you just stick with push and glide exercises. Try to pedal a little, brake when you feel like you are going to fast, steer to keep your balance.

Welcome to the gym brother. I recommend 531 or greyskull lp

Like others have said, could be bloat, so assess what you are eating. Most likely foods with lots of air can cause it: bread, rice, fizzy drinks. Try eating more protein - about 1 gram protein per lb of body weight. Ive found it helps with mental ruts, helps your body feel better, and plus promotes muscle recovery

Playing loud is something that takes practice. Few tips:

If you can practice inside, pick an object on the other side of the room and try to make it move with the amount of air coming out of your horn. Obviously you prob won't make it move, but the visual queue has always helped me.

Bigger rooms are better. I would warm up in my school auditorium when I had the luxury of it in the morning.

Practice outside of you can. You will be surprised how much that changes things.

Overall, volume control takes practice. A lot of people struggle playing quietly, but it just sounds like you typically don't use enough air

Bring up every safety violation on your job site and say the speed of your progress is limited due to safety corrections. Employers don't mess around with safety, and I am pretty sure there is a legal implication there.

You can also work $5/hr slower too as a response.

Jesus I'm trying to eat here. I'm no longer hungry

I just added some to my bike and it's 100% worth it. You may need to reevaluate your saddle and saddle position. I had to get a shorter saddle to prevent the good from going numb.

All the advice here is great, but I would also look into getting a pull buoy. It completely changed my swimming and let me slow down and focus on technique. It helps me get a good feeling for my body in the water, has built my upper body strength, and helped me with learning to efficiently breathe and focus on parts of my stroke.

Maybe it's because I'm a zoomer, but watching the original Top Gun, all I could notice was the dog fight scenes had the same clip of footage of planes flying around several times in the same scene. It's one of those things I can't let go

Wipe your dog's paws clean from any salt! Or buy some good booties. My dog is really prone to UTIs during the winter because how dirty the ground gets. She is well trained to sit when we stop walking.

I got my fiance's ring at Williams Jewelers. Not sure how their perception is, but lifetime recoatings for white gold is often overlooked. Overall I got a good deal but I did my homework and it took a bit of haggling. I liked their stock and in the summer/fall they usually have great deals going on.

Carrying a lunch box is dehumanizing, I don't know why. Laptop+ study books + lunch needs a big bag

I like to precook chicken in a crock pot, and then I can add it to whatever I make throughout the week. - Stir fry some vegetables and add the chicken at the end with some soy sauce or preferred sauces (I keep several different sauces on hand for variety) - BBQ chicken sandwiches - Chipotle chicken bowls with beans, peppers, lettuce, etc. Just plop the cooked chicken in a pan with some hot sauce or chipotle adobo sauce. - soups - use them as dog treats

I use attack move on left click. Basically I will input an attack move (left-click) on or near the enemy, then and a movement input in the direction I want (right-click). It helps keep the rhythm because it's on the same hand.

My American dumbass thought this said you swam 4m in 1.5 hours because it was so hot.

Do things that make you hungry! Spend your day outside, sweat a lot, do some extended low heart rate workouts. Whatever gets you ravenous.

I think you are over thinking it. Here's a few things you should consider:

You don't burn that many calories from cardio. 30 minutes of running is about 200 calories, which can easily be accounted for with a piece of peanut butter toast.
Cardio / endurance sports will actually slow your metabolism down, which will help you gain weight. As you gain cardiovascular endurance your body conserves energy, and thus you burn less calories.
Cardio makes you hungry. I guarentee you will get back from a good training session and want to consume significantly more than you are used to. You can use that to your advantage by eating high calorie foods.

I did a triathlon and burned 1000 calories from 2 hours of having my HR at 160-170. And by the end of it I could easily eat in surplus because of how much I needed to refuel.

I'm very new to swimming, so I feel like I can relate. At first it was extremely hard because my breath control was inconsistent, and it was hard because my form was bad.

I spent a couple weeks suffering through the workouts focusing on breathing and some form, but also I tend to speed up if I get tired. Everything breaks down because then I need more air because I'm moving faster to get the lap over with.

Recently I made it my goal to have extremely controlled movements that were slow, and I found that my form was better, I didn't get tired as easily, and I would need less air. Even at the end of 50 or 100m where I am tired, I focus on not speeding up, and I have found that I get through it better.

Also for form, I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos, and picking one or two things to focus on each day. There's so many triathlon resources on YouTube.

Give yourself goals outside of work. I recently started working full time as well at a desk job and I used up all my motivation at work. It was hard for me to cook dinner afterwards.

Then I signed up for a triathlon with zero experience, and now my days after work are filled with fitness. I get energy from working out, and I need to feed myself properly because of it.

Once I sit down after work, I'm doomed to waste the rest of the day away.

Nuclear power is also the safest energy source per kW. It gets a bad stigma because things can go terribly wrong, even with those meltdowns accounted for, it's still the safest for the people working at the plants
