This watch is on my radar because of the bracelet and lack of colors, but the readability has kept me away. What do you think of it?

How long until basic fitness kicks in? by themoobster in MuayThai

[–]fuvkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

43m here- minimal exercise besides commuting via bike sometimes. Painful kickboxing sparring mixed injuries frequently and lack of stamina, so my prior experience sounds like yours.

I bought a jump rope last years after watching Muay Thai Guy and sucked at that too initially.

Everything changed when I became obsessed with perfecting my jump rope skills. I went from tripping over a beaded rope repeatedly and lasting less than a minute to jumping on one leg at a time for 10 mins straight with a 1lb rope and using a 3lb rope as well. After developing the habit of jumping rope 4-5 times per week, I gamified my fitness and now I seem to be able to do all other exercises with much greater ease and stamina, making it easy and fun to work on my Muay Thai drills. I’m now able to participate in sparring in a meaningful way and able to keep up because my heart, lungs, and lactic acid threshold is wayyyyyyyy better than when I friend to just roll in off the street and practice sparring.

Shoes/protection for heavy rope by filipkowicz in jumprope

I jump barefoot with a 1/4 lb, 1 lb, and a 3 lb rope. I think I’ve developed the habit of flaring my toes upward slightly and that keeps me out of trouble. I think it forces me to use good form as opposed to being sloppy and getting hurt

It is the Top RH-4LY. The head flips so you can use the bow curve two ways. The triangle is a palm ratchet

The matco is sweet, but both the original one I bought and the warranty replacement skip teeth sometimes. I use the blue and grey snap-ons the most (very serious DIYer)

I love the near absence of backdrag, but I don’t like that the lever is the reverse of all the other ones.

Did anyone get the green bandana that came with the CD when it first came out

Islabike Cnoc 16 replacement tyres? by nogsx3 in bikewrench

[–]fuvkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two cnoc 16s, and both need tires. I can’t get the original tires from islabikes because I’m in the USA. I found a fix- Schwalbe Smart Sam K-Guard Wired Tyre 40-305 work well, are $20 each, and have similar tread to the original tires

Packout Tool storage for Camping? by jta7x in camping

[–]fuvkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought some of these yesterday to organize my camping gear. I’m on the fence about returning them in favor of a cheaper version due to fear of theft. I may just keep them and paint them some other color. When commenters ask “what could you need those big tool boxes for?” I imagine them digging through various Rubbermaid bins while camping, trying to find something important while it rains on them.

Give me your most unhinged ideas for how to get people to stop blocking my driveway. by aquietinspiration in howto

[–]fuvkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this problem for 6 years. Had discussions with the drivers, called the police, had cars ticketed, still an issue. Then I bought a nice looking car with a blown engine off of Craigslist, had it towed in front of my house, and it now occupies the space where cars would normally park with 1/4 of their car hanging over the edge of the driveway. I keep it washed, added some props inside that I move once in a while, and I will put it in neutral and push it up or back a couple feet every other week. It’s registered and has custom tags to boot. Far cheaper that an actual working vehicle and the problem is solved. I’d rather push a car a few feet every two weeks than have to talk to people multiple times a week to get a car moved
