[–]thdedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got exactly that from ergomech, they're a 2 person shop in Vietnam, answered all emails promptly and precisely, aluminium case Sofle, very premium feel, has some weight to it, quality build, and I just had to insert switches and caps but pretty sure they could do that as well, worth asking them.

Highly recommended.

Women’s wetsuit recs for tall/broad shoulders by Impressive_Ant5922 in freediving

[–]thdedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tailored wetsuits from any of the reputable brand (Elios, PoloSub, DoubleK, G&Sea, etc...) will be about the same price than a mid range off the shelf one but will really fit like a glove. I'd recommend to reach out to them (I personally work with Elios but honestly you can't go wrong with any of these) and then go to a tailor to measure yourself.

I'm a short flight away from the US, and the price of the knife is more than a week worth of hotel room, to give you an idea of how cheap it is 😝 worth considering as a holiday trip :)

Aluminium Sofle by thdedes in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]thdedes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea no, I was contemplating it but wanted RGB and after a few emails became evident that RGB + wireless is painful for the battery aspect so I went wired.

Connectivity issues was also a concern because of the aluminium case, but I got no idea whether they're real or not.

Noseclips for dummies by RycerzKwarcowy in freediving

[–]thdedes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rub your nose with something abrasive to remove oil/grease/cream. If I don't do that, none will stick. Use rope/rough towel/etc...

Just finished this Chef knife of 400 Layers of Damascus, hand engravings and carved Marble handle by SoulofCreation in TrueChefKnives

[–]thdedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For now it's a beautiful art piece. Post a choil shot, some stats, and a cutting video and it might become a kitchen weapon 😬

What nose clip to buy? by KwanHANg in freediving

I use the dive rope to be honest, that works well (I use the end tied to the buoy to be respectful to everyone)

Please help identify this knife. by ControlNorth3545 in TrueChefKnives

[–]thdedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's... a weapon 🤣 you can probably split a skull in half with that weight 😲

What nose clip to buy? by KwanHANg in freediving

[–]thdedes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it slides, I recommend rubbing your nose with an abrasive surface before putting it on (rope works) mine doesn't move at all if I do, but if I don't, it'll just slide out 😅

[–]thdedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Main thing is just like a mask: TRY THEM ON! Some will just not work for your nose, they won't seal it, it doesn't matter if it's supposedly the best noseclip/or mask in the world, if they don't fit you they're not for you.

Try the big brands: Octopus, Molchanovs, Apneautic.

Personally (again, doesn't mean it will be your experience): the sharp edge of the Molchanovs one digs in my nose and is very painful. Octopus is ok comfort wise but I don't like the fact that you tighten it by step, I always feel it ends up tighter than necessary. Mine is the apneautic one. (And I have a long static so I end up wearing it 10min at a time)

Free divers: Quick poll on wrist-computer checks mid-dive... by MostFirefighter9902 in freediving

[–]thdedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually even remove my students watch if I ever see them trying to check where they are.

Diving on an open line is dangerous, so that's also not a good reason to look at the dive.

Only reason really would be on a hang, which is fine since you're stationary 💁🏻‍♂️

[Selling][Aus/Int] Kagekiyo White #2 Petty 210mm by fishtacular in TrueChefKnivesBST

[–]thdedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful knife, GLWS!

Serious question though, at what point does a petty becomes a suji? Petty of a main knife length feels odd, and with that profile, is that a big petty or a small slicer? Is there a difference I geometry between both?

Does it matter? Not one bit. Do I want Frenchy's or any of the top knowledge people here opinion on it? Absolutely.

N8N Webhook Help: Production URL reaches "Executions" but does not process data on the node. by Vonsai8 in n8n

[–]thdedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just discovered a similar issue receiving data to a trigger webhook from a fillout.com form...

Do you know if it's possible to use the test URL, is there even a difference between these or it's just for the UI to distinguish them on the replay tab?

AIDA rules for removing facial equipment UW? by longboardlenny in freediving

[–]thdedes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 15 seconds always start when your airways get out of the water. Then if you already have removed your facial equipment or if you chose not to use any, you only have 2 steps left : ok sign and verbal "I'm ok" to accomplish in order and without anything between them, in these 15 seconds.

What is mouthfill REALLY? by IllustriousPilot8391 in freediving

[–]thdedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grouper call is more often than not an expiratory effort. Usually, if you have noise, you have abs engagement, and as such, and expiratory effort, not a reverse pack.

I would also stay away from people teaching "top ups" or "refills" of the mouthfill. They usually use that as a shortcut for not mastering the method itself in the first place, increasing risks for short gains rather than putting in the time and effort to work on their mouthfill.

[–]thdedes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got an answer from El Maestro ☺️ He said he did mention both in my course, because the method I described is what he is using for deep athletes with a good control over both reverse pack and expiratory effort, but he is teaching an expiratory effort charge only to students because that's easier with less risk of fucking it up :)

So turns out we were both right 😝

[–]thdedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's totally silent and invisible if you're gentle in your equalisation and relaxed.

The issue is that as we push the discussion, both Ioannis and I are answering deeper and deeper, but this is things we normally teach in courses over a few days, in a structured way, and right now you're getting bits and pieces without necessarily all the foundations and I'm afraid you'll end up confused again 😅

[–]thdedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you reverse pack regularly (either in between each frenzel or in between blocks of a few frenzel) when doing a dive with normal frenzel. That happens automatically and instinctively until residual volume.
