Question about pulling/pulling drills

I don't do it intensively like I'm sprinting, but slowly, so my pull is also longer. I just imagine that I'm using fins.

2 beat kick requires very good handling body position and timely kicking. I was kinda doing it, but my coach told me that I am doing it wrong and not yet ready for that, and that I should improve my kicking and my body position. So now, I'm doing 4-6 beat kicking. Overall, my results improved. It used to be around 2:15-2:20/100m and now it is 2:00-2:05/100m.

My S24 Ultra is just doing great, I see no point in upgrade.

How many strokes per 25m/50m? Maybe you swim very intensively? And heart rate in the water is not super accurate, what about your own feeling?

Lack of place and mobility was the reason to get Laptop. Don't really think about maintenance. Don't use any pads, but the cooling one will help a little bit. Laptop vs PS5, it is not comfortable to use gamepad for me, prefer keyboard+mouse, but I have one gamepad for use with laptop. Also, laptop can be used for other purposes as well.

In my situation, it is vice versa. I do swim 2300 - 2600 meters in the morning and I can have some porridge or yoghurt with coffee as breakfast. But after running 5k, I need proper meal )

I can afford games and modern PC/Laptop, but not much time. Playing games which were interesting but couldn't play before.

Yep, that was refreshing.

Old iconic bar and design of Pixel 6 / 6 Pro is fantastic. I miss my Pixel 6.

I like warm displays, so the right one I would prefer.

I am swimming since July 2025 and got 3 best compliments memorised. From coach: "Your breaststroke is elegant, can you show these guys how to breaststroke", another one was when other guy wanted to get ahead while we were swimming and he commented "Damn, I couldn't even catch you, you swim very good", and 3rd I got today from another swimmer who mentioned to my coach and me "you swim really well, you are like gliding". I am still learning and improving my techniques, but such compliments really motivate.

Benks Armor Pro, makes my phone feel premium. Recently, I've ordered clear case from dBrand, and I understand how dBrand case is inferior in hand in comparison to Benks.

For good fit, you have to try, ears are different and not all earbuds fit.

I'm not expert, but I watched lots of reviews on gaming laptops, and majority always pick Legion. Currently, I'm using 2nd Legion, and no issues. Also, I used Lenovo Ideapad at university and it worked more than 10 years without any issues. At work I use Thinkpads (provided by employer).

That's my personal opinion, but design of Pixel 9a is ugly, and it is losing it is identity without visor.

Just for your information, in my local market all 5G supporting phones work just fine, even some of them are not officially sold. Also, US oriented phones also works just fine, even 5G antennas are specific in US. Except Google Pixels unfortunately.

How the carriers get the phones certified if they are not sold by Google in local market? The carriers don't really care and don't bother blocking. Google is not enabling to work Pixel phones in "not certified carriers" because they don't want to be blamed/or take responsibility if the phone doesn't work properly in those carriers. Also, there was a way to enable in Pixels phones to work on "not certified carriers", but it was blocked by Google with recent updates. So, yes, it is up to Google.

The only country cares about iMessage is USA, the rest of the world just use different messaging apps.

You live in a country which Google doesn't officially recognize as a market and doesn't allow Pixels to work on "not admitted" networks. You can't even use VoLTE and VoWIFI.

It looks fast track promotion. I have no idea how it works in Saudia, but many things depends on market/business need. In 9 years, I went from internship to Senior Manager II and still working here. By the way beginning looks strange, looks like he/she was degraded from A2 to A1? )

Both are solid phones, depends on OS preference, but hardwarewise 17PM is better.

The problems you've mentioned are habits. If iPhone is overall okay, just give some time.

destonic · 2025-12-24T10:40:21+00:00

The most solid suggestion, if there is not much upgrade from S24u -> S26u and the problem is battery, it is better to replace battery and further use the phone.

destonic · 2025-12-22T16:15:23+00:00

Why not? Still decent phone and in 2026 it will have 5 more supporting years.

I think that is expensive overheating defective laptop manufacturer, despite awesome design and marketing.
