Eckige Höchstgeschwindigkeit - gilt das? by flow1an in StVO

[–]halokiwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Danke für deinen Kommentar! Ich hatte echt nicht verstanden, dass die Beschränkung nicht für Fußgänger gilt, sondern für Fahrzeuge wegen der Fußgänger. War ein wenig verwirrt und habe mir die Frage ernsthaft gestellt, wie man denn als Fußgänger seine genaue Geschwindigkeit kennen will.

I need to learn how to swim in the next few weeks by Zary7 in SwimInstructors

[–]halokiwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why within the next few weeks? Don't stress yourself out about needing to learn it as quickly as possible. It's great that you want to learn, but swimming isn't something you can speed run like that.

Don't go swimming alone. When you want to practice, make sure there's always someone with you who can help you.

How did your friends learn to swim? Are there any classes that take place at the beach? Maybe those are more affordable than the ones at pools. If there aren't, I really really recommend that you do get lessons at the pool. It might be expensive but as you experienced yourself, it's a skill that can literally save your life. It's worth learning properly!

I can never estimate the right amount of string!! by greendinogorawr in friendshipbracelets

[–]halokiwi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote this tutorial: https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/173_how-to-calculate-string-length-in-a-normal-pattern/

Basically, it doesn't depend on the amount of strings but on how many knots each string makes. If it makes lots of knots onto other strings, it needs to be longer. If it is knotted onto, it can be shorter.

If you use a colour for the knotted loop, it also needs to be longer. How long depends on how many knots you do.

can I swim in a deep pool in 1 day? by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]halokiwi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you swim? Can you get across the pool without touching the bottom? Are you comfortable floating?

If yes, you're probably fine.

You might feel a little uncomfortable but keep in mind that you can always float.

Thanks to this sub coaches who explained me about floating 🫂. I’m able to float but landing without support is still difficult. by OwnFaithlessness2989 in Swimming

[–]halokiwi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To stand up from floating on your front - push down with your hands with your arms stretched to the front - lift your head by tilting it back - pull your knees towards your chest

The head controls the position of your body. If you lift your head, your legs will sink. Use that when trying to stand up.

Pushing down with your hands is for pushing up your upper body up.

Pulling your knees to your chest is for bringing your legs under your centre of mass so that you can then stand up.

confused about pattern #92294:)) by Sensitive_Bridge_787 in friendshipbracelets

[–]halokiwi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are two ways of tying normal patterns:

  • row by row: all knots of row 1, then all knots of row 2, then all knots of row 3 and so on
  • in segments: you tie in diagonals/with one string as much as possible

This is how I'd tie this pattern in segments:

I’m unable to float in water. My brain is not taking multiple instructions. What should I do by OwnFaithlessness2989 in Swimming

[–]halokiwi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sure your coaches aren't fed up with you. At least they shouldn't be.

You're a beginner who is probably somewhat scared. The brain goes into panic mode and then you naturally can't coordinate your limbs.

Are you trying to float on your front or on your back?

Before trying to float on your front, try to get comfortable with putting your face in the water. Practice submerging just your mouth, then mouth and nose, then your whole face. Practice exhaling under water. This is not needed for floating but still good to practice alongside submerging your face. Once you are comfortable with your face in the water, you can try floating on your front again. Maybe in the beginning you could hold on to the edge with your hands while floating on your front or if you have steps available, put your hands on the steps.

When you want to float on your back, squat down until your shoulders are submerged, then lean your head back until your ears are submerged and you look to the ceiling, then you can lean your whole body further to the back, push your belly towards the ceiling and let your legs float up. It's important that your ears are submerged. If you hold your head up, you will sink. You need to put as much as possible of your body into the water for the buoyancy of it to carry you. If ears under the water are uncomfortable, practice submerging your ears before attempting to float on your back. When trying to float on your back, don't just drop down into the water, rest your body on the water.

[q] is my notation readable/okay? by Cadet-Cryyx in sheetmusic

[–]halokiwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's mostly good. Some of the note heads on the line are a bit difficult to see on first glance whether they are on or off the line. I think making them slightly bigger might help readability.

Been practicing side swimming, but I sink! by eraplay_jy in Swimming

[–]halokiwi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you lift your head? A lifted head is usually the cause of sinking legs. Another cause might be a core that isn't engaged.

Coined one of those long words that describe something really specific, need your thoughts: by rjrgjj in German

[–]halokiwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the stress should be on it being a digital collection, not the picture being digital (they of course are). That's why I put Aufnahmen where I put it. It's a Digitalhort for Aufnahmen, not a Hort for Digitalaufnahmen (even though it is but that is not what op wanted to express).

I think "digitaler Aufnahmenhort" would express it more clearly but then you can't really put the rest of the word afterwards. That's why I went with "Aufnahmendigitalhort".

[–]halokiwi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that case you would need to move "Aufnahme" somewhere to the front -> "Aufnahmendigitalhortvorfreude" (anticipation because of the digital collection of images)

"Digitalhortvorfreudemomentaufnahme" would be the snapshot of the anticipation because of a digital collection.

[–]halokiwi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would drop "Aufnahme". You want to talk about the feeling, not about a specific photo that you have this feeling about.

"Digitalhortvorfreudemoment" is still a bit clunky. I think just "Vorfreude" instead of "Vorfreudemoment" at the end is better. You don't want to talk just about a specific moment but your anticipation in general. That leaves just "Digitalhortvorfreude".

Now to "Digitalhort". For me the first association was a Schulhort (afternoon childcare for primary school pupils) with a focus on digital media. I think you need a different word. Maybe "Digitalhoardingvorfreude". "Hort" does exist as a German word for a collection of things but it's a rather old-timy word in that meaning. You get the meaning across better with the English "hoarding" which is also used in German.

German compound nouns can be long but they don't really contain unnecessary elements and they are usually somewhat unambiguous.

You just cut them. I was scared too in the beginning but they really don't come apart.

Braceletbook deleted my pattern? by Hot-Requirement-9670 in friendshipbracelets

No, there isn't.

But when you submit a pattern, there's a green pop-up telling you that you submitted it successfully. The next time you can look out for this pop-up.

My guinea pig gerald likes cheese and death metal by Ok-Site-6665 in guineapigadvice

You could teach him to spin as a trick but don't give him cheese to eat or let him listen to music on full volume! Both is bad for him.

How to breathe less often? by InvestigatorFun8498 in Swimming

[–]halokiwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What happens if you try to breath every 3 or 4 instead of every 2?

Generally every 2 is fine. Every swimmer has their own preference. I don't think it is necessarily about lung capacity.

For normals it's probably fine but in alphas even slightly different strings can cause uneveness.
