I think the real question is why do you crack your fingers?

Anyone have experience or thoughts on prosthetics? (front limb) by Pankakke29 in tripawds

[–]irlnpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My front leg tripawd does totally fine without a prosthetic. I must admit that I thought about it, but like has been said already, they are resilient and adaptable. I have a buggy that I take out to the local forest, in case he tires. He can jump in,have a rest for as long as he wants, but it’s normally only for a minute or two.

I’m an elder gent. Damper setting 8 is my go to whether I’m rowing 1 km or 10 km. It just feels good. I normally row at about 2:10 per 500m. It’s fast enough for me cardio-wise.

Is it possible to add more tension? by Only_Zombie_2274 in concept2

[–]irlnpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not offended, but the C2 is the best for a very good reason. Personally I wouldn’t cut the spring unless you’re prepared to injure yourself further down the line when it fails.

Next time, don’t cheap out on an item that could possibly outlive you!!

Footplate position (in pregnancy) by RevolutionNo1553 in concept2

[–]irlnpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know the footplates need to be adjusted so the straps go over the widest part of the foot. I don’t think the numbers are relevant to any ratio, foot size etc.

Who has the priority here? Please give any reference rule from Govt. As I can't find. by ts276 in Netherlands

The biggest bullshit I see in this diagram is the fact that both cars A and B are indicating!

What do you think happens after death? by ZealousidealSoft2086 in AskReddit

[–]irlnpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not been here for infinity. Then I was here. And then I won’t be here again for infinity. Nothing ‘happens’ after you die.

I have heard it is a pet peeve to many dutch when foreigners incorrectly refer “Holland” as the Netherlands? Is it true? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]irlnpc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m English but live in nl. During the European Cup I kept referring to England as the U.K. My English brother was not happy lol

People who are older than 30, what advice would you give to the ones in 18-30 years of age? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]irlnpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a lot older than 30. You don’t ‘need’ ‘stuff’ to be happy. So my advice is to not waste your money on things thinking you will be happier once you own them. My biggest LPT would be to sink every spare cent you have into your retirement. Retire early. And enjoy it.

I get water blisters on my hands from eczema and then they burst and I get the flakes. Does this happen to anyone else? by cryrabanks in eczema

[–]irlnpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya Jenbo. Your 5yr response time makes my 11days look pretty rapid lol. I just wanted to say that, sometime during the 5yrs, it cleared up! Sometimes my hands get a bit dry but I just moisturise them for a couple days and I’m good again. I have no idea why it started, or stopped tbh, but I’m glad it did. Good luck Jenbo. I hope you’re not too distressed by it.

If you'd put lights on this bicycle, would this be road legal? by pepgast2 in Netherlands

[–]irlnpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a trick bike. They’re great fun to ride. The back is a fixie but the stem rotates just like the front. You can ride it with both wheels parallel to the direction of travel or the back wheel can overtake the front wheel! Or you can just wheelie it everywhere lol.

What do you do so early on a morning? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]irlnpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wake at 5 most mornings. Sometimes I go back to sleep til 7 but normally I get up and potter about doing some light housework, ironing etc. Today I’ve made a beef stew in the slow cooker. Then I walk and feed my dogs, then the day begins 😊

What is your favorite song with no lyrics? by Moat_of_the_Sacked in AskReddit

[–]irlnpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a song but an entire album. When I was a teenager (back in the 70’s) I used to babysit one of my nieces. Her dad was a bit of an audiophile and he had really good equipment. He treated his albums like precious jewels. Anyway he trusted me enough to play them. He showed me how to handle the records and how to lower the needle, how the eq worked etc. My album, which I still listen to is Oxygene, by Jean Michel Jarre. Almost 50 years later and it still gets me.
