I enrolled to adult swim class and it's my second session. I was able to get comfortable with the water, I think. I was able to do the basic of using floaters and noodles and wave my feet and put my face under the water. My problem is, the duration of my head under the water is too short, maybe like 2 or 3 seconds and when I can't breathe I started panicking.

So I don't know what's the best way and efficient way to blow bubbles and keep it longer and not make myself panic if I'm out of breath, cuz I always go do it really fast. We got instructors so I know people will help but I guess panic hit automatically when ur out of breath.

Also how do you do the humming technique. Do I just hum or should I hold my breath while humming? Do i just hum "hmmmm" like I do normally?

I'm looking to join the smart glasses. I'm interested in Scriber since I wear prescription glasses. I have -4.5 and -4.75 range. How do I know my PD? I want to order online at the same time use my insurance. I have 400$ for insurance. How's the experience overall with the Glasses? Why AI or Smart Features are really good to use?

I currently use Rayban 6494 Glasses so I feel like Scriber Is somewhat close to what to it. Big Frames are really bad for my look so I'm looking for small ones

Also I'm from Canada, for fellow Canadians, How's the experience on using it? How is it in public? Do people notice it's a smart glasses? How's the reaction of people? are they frowned up using it? I mainly plan on using the camera and video when I'm traveling, like capturing my hike in Banff, Snowboarding, Campings , and all those stuff. So that I can share it with my family. Specially to my parents who won't be able to do those stuff and let them at least have an idea or POV of my experience.

Looking for affordable eye exams. I got 400$ for my insurance and looking for an eye checkup that wouldn't cost me alot. I did an eye exam at lenscrafter 2 years ago and it cost me 135$ without tax. It's near double to my insurance, that's without prescription glasses. So looking for more affordable. I know costco does 110$. Does any stores offer less?

Hi All, Me and my girlfriend will be going to London next month and we are planning some trips. This would be a 1 week trip and we watched a lot of London vlogs and travel. We decided we want to go to the Bath and Crescent Moon, Borough Market, Do a Boat Ride to see a lot of tourist spots like the Tower Bridge, Big Ben etc. then also watch a Play, visit British Museum, Crown Jewel and the Harry Potter Studio.

I might ask what else did we miss on visiting. We are open to suggestions for any other activities.

Also we want to explore good food and good restaurant across London, like which Pub would be great or any good Michelin restaurants in the area. Would be great if it offers tasting menu too.

Our Budget is between $ to $$. So we are expecting not big luxurious expenses but a money worth but not too much

And if there any tips as a first timer in London

Thank you!

Going to London next month or december, coming from Canada. I read that phone theft is common by just snatching your phone while its out in public area. People in bikes just grab it in broad daylight. So I'm looking for a phone tether either by wrist or by my belt strap so that I can safely use my phone in public areas, like checking Taxi/Uber or Public transpo or directions.

Thank you

I have a insurance that covers 400$ for my glasses prescription. Im looking for a smart glasses that would improve QoL like AI assistant, translation/maps etc. i tried wearing meta glasses but it looks ugly and bulky to me. I also need glasses that can do prescription as my eyes have vision around -4.5 to -4.75.

Memomind is one i saw that looks promising. Any other suggestions

Need a cheap or free VPS that I can host and install telegram and add my 2 accounts for safekeeping, this is for that if I need to login to the account, I can get the OTP code.

Does the new policy state that do we need to go to the office if so how often? Or can we work remotely as long as you live in Ontario?

Currently I have QNAP TS-233 with 2x8TB on RAID. As I enjoy adding apps in docker. QNAP TS-233 hardware can't keep up with the demand. So I'm thinking is it logical to get a MiniPC under 500$ and go thru the migration of my docker apps to the Mini PC, or just upgrade my QNAP to a higher 4bay NAS or a DXP4800?

Also If I go mini pc route, what mini pc would you guys suggest?

Right now I'm using the Rogers default router CGM4331COM. need suggestion if I should buy a router and make the CGM4331COM in bridge mode. My use case would be game streaming via local wifi or if possible remote wifi, have a home server nas and mini pc connected, Along with maybe 15 to 20 devices connected to the router. I live in a 2BR Condo so I don't think I need bigger range. I have 500Mbps/50Mbps speed. I'm currently looking to get Flint 2, but would like more suggestion.

Any thoughts on this? How is it compared to the torrentshell and gc and other rain jackets? I don’t see any praises or review on this jacket. Seems to me an okay jacket. Anyone has this and what’s ur feedback or experience on the jacket

So now I'm currently have a QNAP TS-233 I got from liquidation and 2x8TB drive(Red Plus and Ironwolf). I got tons of apps installed now and planning to expand or upgrade it to have like a full blown server, but since TS-233 is not really powerful I'm thinking of getting a mini PC. Is it better to go to Mini PC Route and hook NAS into it?

I'm from Canada and my budget is around 800$ less.

I would use the miniPC for plex/media server, automation/downloader/self hosting apps.

Right now my TS-233 has some docker installed apps such as:

• Tailscale
• Memos
• Filebrowser
• Custom Downloader script
• Custom telegram bot script
• Glance
• aria2pro and ng
• bentopdf
• linkding
• warracker

trying to add more like jellyfin or plex and a bettter file manager than filebrowser or like immich. It's a plus if I can host roms too and emulate it at the server.
