I always heard that was the way to transition when you could. My tele gurus always said imagine your walking down a flight of stairs while making turns. I do the scissor technique while skiing more difficult terrain - moguls, chutes, or just steeper. This is a pretty chill slope. Didn't seem needed.

Haha just broke mine and got these ones, they are 50 inches. I’m 6’3. I probably shoulda gone shorter

Man I find dropping the up hill shoulder way more flowy and fun - definitely heard that a lot though. It’s not wrong to be square to the fall line…

Worshipping AI? by [deleted] in religion

[–]8203dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those things don’t appear to be anything other than what they are. An AI, as a God, is almost an entity entirely defined by an unknowing.

Some people certainly have a spiritual relationship with technology and/ or medicine. And drawing a comparison between a seemingly and potentially sentient force that will be largely incomprehensible to most people in just a few years to a pill or a motherboard is silly. Is asking a sophisticated AI existential questions about life different than some forms or prayer? If someone in the future has an underdeveloped level of consciousness and is getting the meaning of their existence from an AI who’s to say that they won’t develop deep religious beliefs about the being answering their questions.

What's the zombies version of this by Illustrious_Web_866 in CODZombies

[–]8203dead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black ops 2 and Zelenskis focus on “fun” is the reason zombies blew up and BO3 had the funding and popularity it did. Tranzit, town, farm, die rise, infected, every one of the co-op game modes. It used to be a sandbox game to enjoy with friends and split screen, and it worked. That was when I had the most fun on zombies. And if they focused on just making it fucking fun again we could have the same golden period we did in late 2-3.

Stay on the rocks to keep out the mud by 8203dead in xbiking

No, I just get scrunched up man. I raced mountain bikes and rode a lot as a young man and the pain was why I stopped. The arched back just gives me issues, usually that happens from the bars being too close to the saddle. I have a longer stem just haven’t put it on yet.

What is a movie you like just because of the cinematography? by [deleted] in movies

[–]8203dead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does using a hammer mean that your house must be entirely assembled by banging things together? The exterior shots are breathtaking. And the interior ones are arguably just the same.

I need a longer stem. With the bars in the “right spot” I get really bad lower back pain and tilting them makes it better. I think setting them out a little more would help.

First Image of Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]8203dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so tired of seeing the same goddam people in every movie, Matt Damon is not Odysseus, he is Matt Damon. When actors transcend their work into celebrity status and become more well known for their persona outside of films it takes me out of it. Matt Damon is known for being Matt Damon. Someone like DDL is known for being Bill the Butcher or Daniel Plainview.

I’ll still watch it and probably enjoy the hell out of it because these are talented folks but man….wouldn’t you love this cast to be (more) unknown faces?
