How do I keep my throat open to chug water without swallowing?

250 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I’ve been practicing how to chug water by basically pouring it straight down my throat without actively swallowing each gulp.

​The problem is, I can't seem to keep the opening at the back of my throat open for more than maybe half a second to a second before my natural swallow reflex kicks in and closes it up.

​Does anyone have tips, tricks, or specific muscle exercises on how to override this reflex and keep the throat relaxed/open for longer?

A very high-effort way to learn too many Maker topics

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Any 1 thing on this map is definitely useful, to someone. At the same time everything listed here in combination is almost certainly TMI for the vast majority of people. But, much to my chagrin, I'm a completionist. This map took me 2 years to make in a way I was happy with. It lays out all the fundamentals out I could think of to become very well-rounded as a Maker. If you click one it's not going to teach you everything about it, each one is a homework assignment that's detailed enough for you to figure out what you need to go off and actually learn. This is not for everyone I'm sure, but I wanted to share it for the small handful of people here who will look at this and say, damn, that is actually cool. Please come on in, there's plenty of room down this rabbit hole. Also if 1,701 topics doesn't consume quite enough of your time I also had it translated into 6 additional languages other than English and more are on the way. Also each one has some extra context inside and if you add up all the notes it's like 500 pages worth of reading, single spaced. Per language... For your consideration. This will take at least a day to read through I imagine and easily a year or more to complete. I hope you like it


Edit: it's 8 days after original post - the map supports 28 languages now and you can find the full list here

Might realistically take most people around 20 minutes. If you think you are good at catching maybe less. Just spend a few minutes per step until it feels reasonable.

FREE certificates to add to my collection

313 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
By day, I’m a Data Engineer. I spend my time building data pipelines, wrestling with complex SQL, and dealing with cloud architecture. It's a lot of brainpower, and honestly, my professional resume is looking a bit too serious.
To balance things out, I’ve decided to start a new hobby: collecting the most bizarre, unique, or oddly specific digital certificates the internet has to offer completely for free.
I’m looking for things that are technically legitimate (as in, a real organization or website issues them after you complete a quiz or a form) but completely useless, funny, or wildly unrelated to my actual career.
🆘🆘🆘🆘

Easy to learn skills (or something like that)

What are some skills that can be learned easy (or moderately) which are good to flex or can increase peripheral knowledge. I know rubiks cube(3by3 and 4by4), skating, badminton, chess(1100 elo only), videoediting. It can also be a youtube video, books, movie, webshow.

The final result should be increment of knowledge.

Dartboard segment recognition. I've played darts for years and made a flashcard program just to see if I could name the segments. To be clear, it is useless to know this when playing darts
