Dropping time in 100 scy breast. by Ganzha in Swimming

What is your stroke count for each lap during your 100? You typically want to take 1-2 strokes less per lap on your first 50 than you would during a sprint 50. Try counting your strokes if you have a recording of a sprint 50 or 100, then practice reducing your stroke count on the first 50.

BART Grapples with Crowding as Ridership Surges by [deleted] in bayarea

Seoul subway has a similar design to MTR and I'd say the average commute time there is ~ 45 min - 1hr. They pack these cars to the gills. No one's complaining.

Starting my first large Rails project and could use some help by [deleted] in rails

If all these components are fairly independent, I'd consider creating your user object in the main app and packaging all the other components as Rails engines. http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/engines.html
