Ear plugs for lap swimming that works?

For those who have to use ear plugs, what is the best working solution for lap swimming? I stopped swimming a while ago due to the left ear drum perforation, and miss swimming a lot. I tried a couple of plugs, #1 silicone plugs just getting lost in the pool, probably caused by constant body movement. Not sure, but my ear canal might also fluctuate along with body moving 🤣. #2 regular rubber plugs seem to hold a little longer, but also require readjustment like every two laps. Am I doing something wrong? Did you find the solution that works for long lap swimming with flip turns? I did surgery on a drum to restore it, but it didn't work. Thanks!

Could a left knee pain on the inside caused by rowing?

I am not an experienced rower, just use the rowing machine as a cardio add on to lifting. M57, 220lbs. I know I might be over compressing on the catch, aiming for a longer stroke. I also tried rowing both with vertical knees and out maybe 20-30 degrees, not with the specific form in mind, just to have some space for my belly to fit it on the catch 😂. I row sporadically for the last couple of years, and aim to go for 10k, in about 44 to 46 minutes, so hope a little more than a complete newb. No pain whatsoever on squats or deadlifts. Just feel it during pre workout stretching the hamstring by doing a side lunge, or a really deep ATG bodyweight squat (ass to the grass). The right knee is totally fine. Thanks! Edit: Inner surface of the left knee - medial compartment?

Saw Bombardier CRJ550 casually flew by... Somehow it was left behind...

I was Not speeding or something... I didn't know Tesla could see the planes... most likely it was descending to an airport and therefore at a lower altitude/j
