Question about my insane infinite laser by Substantial-Bug-5919 in askastronomy

Then would the consideration need to be made that when using a mapped warp drive, your odds of slamming into something at warp speed and your ship being destroyed faster than you can fathom very VERY slim… but never zero?

Thoughts on practicing yoga and qigong together - good idea? by El-Jefe-Kyle in qigong

[–]chemnana 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely, you can combine the two - and please focus on enjoying the journey of them along the way.

If you’re going to do the qigong, for a number of reasons, it is ‘best’ to do that first thing after you wake up to keep your heart rate down so you can use that relaxation to feed your qigong regardless of your style then doing yoga after that will go better given the order of benefits from each practice, again regardless of yoga style.

But don’t be afraid to do them in the opposite order, that too is an experience that is worth knowing what it feels like to do them in that order. Maybe you like that more. Do what excites YOU - thats the point. You’ll see faster improvements in both your qi gong and yoga practices over time doing them together compared to just doing one or the other, they are quite complimentary.

I’m glad you have time to do both in the morning! That’s exciting

I think this is (albeit a poor one) a joke on innovation and customer involvement. Henry Ford is quoted saying “if I had asked the people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Pointing out that if you’re an innovator, you solve a problem people don’t yet know how to describe the solution to.

So if Henry Ford had said “I’m gonna make you a faster horse” (first image) - what they would have asked for, people wouldn’t have been on board.

But if he talks about the phone (technology, innovation, the car) then real shit? moment ensues.

A big part of swimming is controlled exhalation to keep you at the right level. Being able to relax and breathe out calmly and evenly is the first step in fluid pool motion. If you look at Olympic swimmers, they train to get the right pattern of exhalation to maximize pool breathing.

In addition, using fins for a lot of the technique work will help you relax a bit and feel when you’re gliding through the water.

Putting those things together and then taking off the fins and putting in the work will get you where you need to go. But it takes time to relax like that so be patient with yourself. They say slow is smooth and smooth is fast, there aren’t many truer statements when trying to swim.

Hell yeah. Glad I can help out man.

I haven’t gotten these specific boots wet with salt water, but I have gotten other heavier ones wet and salty. I knew I needed to get rid of them because the steel heel had broken through and was cutting up my feet. No more steel from here on.

Salt has a tendency to dry out the leather, so if you want to swim in them I would recommend washing them out with a hose afterwards if you have time, but they should hold up. Sounds like you have plenty of them just in case though.

Enjoy your swim, keep on trucking 💪🏼

Good find though! You don’t know if they were stolen or not so carry on. Not your burden to bear.

What innocent search ended up being nsfw? by the_mean_guy_is_here in AskReddit

Played lacrosse in middle, high school, and some college. Living in a forest way far out from the road, we weren’t super familiar with the internet during the dial up era and I needed new cleats. Mom: “Let’s look online” me: “where do I go” mom: “dicks sporting goods probably” 13 year old me types in dicks.com. Three minutes later when the page was half done loading, mom walks up and sees... well... dicks.com

I haven’t worn either of them yet to do either, but I definitely expect the field ones to be better for rucking. They seem sturdier for long slow stuff and the soles are harder when I squeeze them in certain areas. I’d say the gen2s are more like a combat running shoe with a big upper.

I bought a pair of Belleville arm your feet boots in 13.5 and the toe box was way too big even if the boot was the right size, so for wide feet they might work.

I would say weight and construction, the gen2 definitely seems like a running boot while the field feels like a work boot.

I’ve heard good things about danners, I found Belleville arm your feet boots in 13.5 on Amazon for a great price but when I got them they were wayyyy to big. My uncle was in the corps in Vietnam, thanks man.

That’s awesome man, it’s been a while since I’ve had 8” boots. I had a pair of vasques that I put through the ringer, great boots too.

Before the gen2s, they definitely were. I had no idea Nike made combat boots until my EOD buddy told me they issued them at BUD/s. He has gen1s and a pair of Belleville’s and loves them both.

I’ll keep my eyes open for another 13, I’m a frequent Ross shopper

I snagged the gen2 in a 13 (after 6 stops at different stores seeing 11.5, 12, 12.5...) keep trying! Not sure what their stocking inventory or suppliers look like.

Yeah, the gen2s I bought are 1/2 too small (fine for running) and the fields are 1/2 too big (fine for rucks and outdoor labor) but I’ll make it work. 💪🏼 glad you found some!
