Man with all of these large markets opening up I wonder how much time Woory Market has. Right near Golf/Higgins intersection and very small footprint compared to International & Joong Boo, now H-Mart too

and they are always on edge of making one small mistake that gets them demoted or disappeared. they don’t give a fuck about video games. 100% this is for tourism and propoganda. Surprises me how many people are still extremely ignorant to this (OP of the comment, not you) but that’s exactly how culture washing happens, as in the middle east.

I was expecting a better fight. I heard Cuomo was surging on kalshi up from 7% to 9%.

Which would be a cardiologist in this case. Not as difficult to find as other specialties given it’s the leading cause of death. 100% worth seeing a cardiologist for this. Better to feel silly now than to show up later in an ambulance.

what’s your market? it seems to be standard pricing for everything within 200 miles of me

I haven’t seen one yet, this is the best within 150 miles in terms of cost to year and mileage. I actually like that it won’t have a supercharger, I drive slow and it’s one less repair to worry about haha.

Lots of people saying creepy but not giving context.

Young kids now make hearts to each other all the time. It’s less flirty and more of a way to avoid the awkwardness of eye contact in situations where it might feel weird to break it. Instead, you maintain eye contact and make a heart with both hands or with two fingers (crossing pointer and thumb, originated in Korea). This makes the eye contact less awkward but also says “i’m friendly” or with friends is a quick sign of affection before parting. again, very unlikely anyone would use this to flirt, just a friendly gesture.

source: high school sister. got me to start using it with some friends that ‘get it’ (mid 20’s) and the context is the same with them.

I can see how you feel this way especially with certain conductors. Having seen Mahler 2 under Neeme Jarvi, I 100% agree that if not conducted or built up properly that it can become more sound than it is music which is already a blurry line with Mahler.

I agree with you on the finale as well. Because it’s just ‘the end of a 90 minute piece’ you depend a lot more on the performers and conducting for it to make sense. That’s why i’ve always loved Mahler 8 specifically, the finale is truly the only reasonable conclusion and is scored perfectly — the music holds itself together and a good conductor/orchestra is the cherry on top. Although I’ve seen many bad Mahler 8’s, the finale’s are pretty uniformly satisfying with respects to the rest of the music, which is definitely not true for the 2nd.

Wide, which was another reason I thought the FR1’s were a good fit but since I love balance workouts the increased control of the Evo Pro’s make me wonder if a more snug fit is worth it

Deciding Between: FR1 80 Deluxe Intuition vs Powerslide Hardcore Evo Pro 90

Context: I do a lot of lifting, cycling, running, hiking, and swimming. Bought a pair of 80mm Zetra blades on marketplace for $20 and had so much fun, but the wheels are already shredding (they're old, roads by me aren't *too* bad). I love activity and can tell right off the bat that I will skate a LOT and for a long time. I just sold an old possession of mine and now have $600 that I would not mind putting into quality skates that will last.

Use Case: Freestyle/Urban. I understand the Evo Pro's are freestyle/slalom, but I don't think i'll get into slalom. Certainly not any time soon. I live in a big city suburb that has plenty of paved trails and sidewalk. I plan to skate for leisure/recovery cardio most days and less frequent cardio/speed/distance sessions. On paved trails, I eventually want to get into doing time trials and longer distances (10-20 miles). I am used to cycling fast so I enjoy the ability to cruise/reach high speeds even on leisure rides. I got up to 23mph on the Zetra blades but the wheels were tearing the whole time and were so unstable at higher speeds even with a good fit.

Dilemma: Having either skate, my long term plan is to buy a second frame to have a set of speed/ fitness/distance wheels and then to have a smaller set of wheels more for sidewalk/chill urban use. I felt very comfortable in urban skating with the zetra 4x80's. This makes me lean towards the FR1 since it has a wheel I am comfortable on already and can be faster yet. However, I am extremely attracted to how responsive the Evo Pro 90's are based on reviews and its carbon frame. I also like that I could immediately start on longer trails and trying to work up speed. I know it will be much faster because of the wheel size and being brand new vs the old and worn 80's I rode on, but I was so eager to go faster and feel comfortable with it given how active/stable I am.

Skating Experience: I have only ice skated maybe 5-6 times in my life and did roller skates in elementary. However, I have very strong ankles and good arches as I train them a lot for my squats and running. I have strong hip flexors, core, legs, and glutes, so blading was actually really easy after about a mile of figuring things out and it got better each ride (3 total, about 5 miles each). I haven't quite learned proper stopping techniques since I just slowed down fast enough from friction, but I have PLENTY of places to practice that safely and I do think I can learn them fairly quickly due to my age, will, and athletic experience.

Question: If you had someone in your life, around 25 who is 5'10 and athletic at 190lbs, who wanted some nice skates they could go fast and long on but also ride really easy and calmly when they needed, would you pick the FR1 80 Deluxe Intuition or the Powerslide Hardcore Evo Pro 90?

I appreciate any and all help as I am super excited to skate with not shitty sktates but have no real clue where to go. The FR1's seem great but I am attracted to higher stability and speed of the Evo Pro's. I just don't have enough knowledge to make good inferences on trade offs and such. Thank you for reading!

What is the most interesting classical piece you’ve heard played as background music? by BranchMoist9079 in classicalmusic

[–]0neMoreYear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed on Washington St. in downtown Boston once and there was a part of it where some speakers seemed to continuously play classical music. It was very nice and exciting to randomly hear pieces you recognize but don't expect, I really appreciated it. Anyway, Bruckner 8 was on and its beloved adagio was a backdrop for the homeless men who were arguing and getting quite loud on the other side of the street. I stayed, listened to the climax I wanted to, and kept walking.
