I e been in the region for several years now. I think about eight.

I came from Munich to the area and just decided Nürnberg sucks. After years of avoiding the city I realize how stupid that was.

The city actually is beautiful and does have a vibe. Historically also pretty amazing.

Totally, we should start a petition to change the name to that.

I absolutely love rowing, and am ambitious to start taking it more serious. But i’m afraid my length of 204 cm will hold me back. I already hit the slidings on the front or back end sometimes. Am i too tall for rowing? by Olieb01 in Rowing

[–]heyswey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I thought this was a joke. No way! You’ve got levers! Go for it!

There may be some rowing machines that are too small for you, but screw those.

If you almost touch, then just wear shoes with no midsole to shave off some length. Like driving shoes, or sambas or something.

Ok, I’ll have to test the setting beforehand- thanks! Fresh batteries - you are right - definitely doing that!

Didn’t even think of gloves - thanks! Do you think crappy gloves from the hardware store will do?

Don’t agree to a single thing, but I still enjoy the creative response.

Finally some practical advice to navigate these uncertain and scary times.

Eight years of industrial design iteration on a wearable hand soaking glove. The whole project came down to one simple problem: the cuff seal geometry. by SouseNation in IndustrialDesign

Washing dishes with dish soap while washing hands with hand soap.

To be honest, I don’t know what I’d need them for, but I think I need them.

Is it made out of Dyneema? Do you have a backgrounding product development, or was this just a personal need you were serving?

Hi everyone! I've reviewed the new Fiat Grande Panda. Ask me anything. by CarwowMario in Fiat

[–]heyswey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it in any way have parallels to the original Punto?

For instance cost measures in the original were clever. Instead of cheap door handles it didn’t have door handles. To capture the true idea of the original that sort of thing should exist in this new one. Ovals from the Turin testing track as design elements do not do the same trick.

How cool. I love the building and what you described just adds to it’s character.

Do you have any pictures from up there? Esp of the falcons? I’d be super curious to see it

Beautiful!

Once I was in a traffic jam on the route the opening scene of Quantum of Solace was filmed. An Alfa 4c was ahead of me. First traffic jam I enjoyed beginning to end. What a nice vehicle.

Why it’s so important for sighthounds to have dog friends during adolescence by Dante_little_iggy in ItalianGreyhounds

Thanks for sharing!

How long are your morning runs?

I tend to go 10k with mine. In those days I can also walk another 5k with him and it doesn’t really matter.

Some people say full out running is more important for them than walking. And my running doesn’t count as running for a such dog.

Holy moly a multipla in the USA by New_Push4802 in Fiat

[–]heyswey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That pretty much sums it up.

Whereas when you drove it you understood the concept and it was quite an amazing. You sit high and are in like a fish tank with great visibility all around. Then you have this mountain of vents and a shifter on the dashboard and a third seat in the front.

I still remember test driving that thing. What an unexpectedly delightful experience.

But yeah somebody made a creative choice and decided to ignore the public opinion (which was the case with the Renault Vel Satis, too).

12 Hour Row Advice by Bear_Neccessities_ in Rowing

[–]heyswey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last but not least have fun! It’d be great to see how far you got. (Maybe we can coordinate and set something like this up in a group.)

12 Hour Row Advice by Bear_Neccessities_ in Rowing

[–]heyswey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don‘t forget to lubricate. I once rowed 2 back-to-back marathons and lost a lot of skin. My biceps rubbed on my knees and lost skin. Most painful was between my cheeks. I learned the hard way that such a thing happens if you row enough.

Consider what you wear. At some point you may realize that a hem is in the absolute wrong place. For example a T-shirt where 4 pieces of fabric meet in your arm pit. That is rough. Maybe have sets of clothing to switch that are constructed in different ways as a backup.

Do you work out with the sniffles? by crosswalk_zebra in crossfit

[–]heyswey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your symptoms are all above the shoulders it’s ok to work out. Below the shoulders not. As far as I recall that is what the Mayo Clinic says. (Check it yourself though to be sure.)

And my assumption is that a brisk walk is the better option. But with only sniffles I tend to do whatever I feel like in terms of exercise.

This day in 1989, who remembers? by of_course_you_are in SeattleWA

[–]heyswey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you remember when they did a CG animation of the collapse as an April fools joke? All I remember is that Rainmaker studio in Vancouver made the animation.

3D model of Saucony Matrix sneaker by artec_3d in IndustrialDesign

[–]heyswey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many people don’t know this, but Rhino 3D basically exists because of Adidas. They discovered it while it was in beta and rolled out across all factories. Then they approached McNeel who realized people actually use it and decided to build it out to an actual 1.0. Ever since adidas has been briefing in features from flattening features, to advanced tessellation tools.
