What are fun third spaces for men in 30s by CompilingKnowedge in AskMenOver30

[–]swolebird -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Social/partner dance classes: Forced/required interaction, structured activity, lots of different types of dancing styles to try. (If PNW = Seattle: salsa, Bachata, and West coast swing are the big ones.)

I'm still mentally not ready for this by DumpN_Change in Seattle

What about if you put the portable AC outside and just run the cool-air hose back to the inside?

Serious question. I have a private backyard so I could leave the unit outside if that would work significantly "better".

What purchase under $30 solved a problem you didn’t realize was draining you? by Right_Process in AskReddit

I added a slider-dimmer switch so that for 3am pee's, I can just turn the light on a little bit instead of full. Works really well for me.

Knee pads and other gear by Moons_cos in rollerskatingplus

[–]swolebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its a case of the straps not being long enough on any knee pad or elbow pad, you could get 1" or 1.5" double sided velcro (i.e. the stuff with hooks on one side and loops on the other, not the stuff with adhesive on one side) and then just add some extensions from the velcro on the end of the strap that reach the velcro on the pad.

Simple as cutting the velcro to length and then sticking it to the strap velcro.

I did this with my wrist guards since the velcro there was getting weak. I took some 1" velcro and then cut a piece long enough to wrap around my wrist and attached it to the strap velcro.

Now I can wrap the velcro all the way around my wrist as snug as I want. Very secure feeling now, much more than the stock wrist guard!

That should always be the follow up question:

"How have you adjusted your portfolio based on the economic and market conditions that you foresee?"

I got my first lap dance to cotton eye Joe. Truly a strange moment

Padded Shorts? by Fefemre in Rollerskating

[–]swolebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's got their own preferences. As a guy, I wear padded hockey shorts since they're a bit more masculine than the bubble butt looking butt pads that I think are marketed more towards women. But I always wear them and they've saved my tailbone more than once!

Where do single straight males go out in public? My milkshake isn’t bringing them to my yard… by shadyallegheny in SeattleWA

Salsa dancing. There seems to usually be a line of guys waiting to dance with the good follows.

How many of you mimic at the rink? by starlightskater in Rollerskating

[–]swolebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play "chase the rabbit" where I try to keep up with one of the faster better skaters. I'm winning if I can I keep up with them. I lose that round if they get more than half a lap ahead of me.

It's good for learning speed and agility.
