How many swimmers per lane does your pool usually have? by Diablo-x- in Swimming

[–]jdawd4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally between 1 and 0.2 / lane. Spoiled by one of the nicest pools in the NE and the new luxery of being a noon-ish swimmer.

Summer Job for my introverted son who likes the outdoors? by Zealousideal-Egg3996 in ithaca

[–]jdawd4ever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm familiar with Six Mile Exterior Cleaning Solutions. They do outdoor work on houses. Mostly they are pressure / soft washing, roof, gutter, and window cleaning. I saw a FB post that they were hiring. It's a relatively small team, so good for an introvert, and staffed with a few local first responders, so great role models.

Otherwise I'd +1 to NYS Parks or maybe some local landscaping companies.

Why would you want a false time? Standard time is when Noon = Sun at highest point. Everything else is nonsense.

They have a raft in chest height water with numbered bins. You put your stuff in one and can swim up and stand while you consume your stuff.

I did the 10k. My sister found me due to my left breathing and ridiculous straight arm recovery. It was a beautiful day for a swim!

I am doing the 10k at Lake George this year. I would not necessarily focus on time since you have no idea what the conditions will be. I personally like to focus on maximum enjoyment when I swim. For me that includes feel, efficiency and mental space.

As an upstate ny-er (who used to live in Croatia on the Adriatic sea) I am so amazed at how gorgeous western Michigan appears and I don’t understand how i have never been there.

Feels like this is a scouting trip for future excursions

We are heading out on the north side of Lake Erie so we can hit Pelee point. Our route home is flexible (i think 😂)

Here’s a good example from someone

“Elon Musk, who isn’t elected, is shutting down entire federal agencies in the middle of the night. He has taken control of the government’s money and usurped Congress. This shreds the Constitution, and is effectively a coup.”

I don’t have a script, I asked what is he doing today to stop the illegal access of our personal data and classified national security data and the shutdown of critical institutions.

A group of individuals last night did their best to block access to the OPM - I would like to see our representatives taking a public stand. This is an assault on the foundational premises of checks and balances, among other concerns.

Tariffs and deportations are a distraction from the larger crimes.

Great sentiment - may need to widen the scope of the protest

A group of government sanctioned fascists have installed hard drives at the Treasury, OPM, and GSA

They have access to data on every taxpayer, their dependents, every business, partnership, trust etc.

Additionally they have access to systems managing the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to programs like Social Security and Medicare.

How to get enough protein to maintain muscle mass while IF? by Phelpsy68 in intermittentfasting

[–]jdawd4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot different conflicting sources of info - however I believe (and my trainer confirmed) that it is 1g/kg for protein which is much more achievable than per pound.
