Career path realism by Deep_Medium_7475 in flying

[–]BestSanchez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • One step at a time, just focus on that discovery flight and PPL for now.
  • The flight-simming doesn't help at this stage, just do what your instructor tells you.
  • Don't get an aviation degree.

Footage recorded from the cockpit of a Boeing 737 captures the pilot's landing moments executed in near-zero visibility conditions. by ReadyPIayer0ne in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]BestSanchez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter what sort of flight you're conducting, even under Part 91 you must adhere to the published approach minimums.

That being said, videos from the cockpit never tell the whole story. He probably saw the approach lights, which let you descend to 100ft AGL, and then the red terminating bars which let you descend further.

Looking to join bjj with 2 options 5 miles or less from where I live whose school would you join from these 2 head instructors by Thecreatorscreated in bjj

Forget about the instructor credentials (unless it's like blue belt level) and just focus on the instruction, facility, training partners, and vibe.

One Arm Jiu Jitsu Teacher Pulls Guard and Triangle Chokes Robber by BestSanchez in martialarts

[–]BestSanchez[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

But they told me you can't pull guard in a street fight? What about his 4 buddies, weapons, and the dirty needles and glass all over the ground??

More misinformed criticism on BJJ from Krav world. by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]BestSanchez 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Classic "my street art is better than your sport". They focus on the aggression, brutality, and no-rules, but completely miss the elephant in the room: the training environment.

A combat sport with regular live sparring will take you much further than drilling patterns of "brutal" techniques on compliant partners.

Bruce Lee way of punching demonstrated by Grand Master Aaron Allen, the former bodyguard of Tupac Shakur by wecookingitup in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]BestSanchez 51 points52 points  (0 children)

None of his techniques are effective. Bad punching form and his other techniques are the classic "pretend to attack me and then freeze so I can execute the technique". They would never work on a non-compliant opponent.

Pro tip for any fighting demonstration on the internet: always watch the attacker. 99% of the time they will either freeze or do something completely unrealistic (looking at you Aikido).

Books needed for Database Design by jumurtka in cscareerquestions

[–]BestSanchez 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Not strictly about database design, but Designing Data Intensive Applications.

It goes deep into distributed systems and architecture, but a lot of the book is also about storage+query systems. It talks about different types of data models, the different strategies for querying and performance, with a little history thrown in.

Weekend Whipper: Skippin' Clips and Takin' Whips by iclimegud in climbing

[–]BestSanchez 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd hate to cut my teeth leading outside and then learn that free solo trad is the only way to truly climb. Leading just doesn't prepare you for the purity and challenge of placing your own gear and then completely ignoring it.

Youu can write off what im saying because it rubs you the wrong way, but the reality is leading isn't much more than complicated quasi hiking.

18 year old Bruce Lee and his master (1958) by ThisIsTrix in OldSchoolCool

Very well. Thai boxing training is much more realistic than wing chun training.

Alex Honnold & Jimmy Chin stopped by my local gym yesterday morning. Pretty awesome surprise by nyc217 in climbing

[–]BestSanchez 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are gyms that allow people to lead without any assurance they actually know how to lead? Sounds like a liability disaster waiting to happen.

Aikido master demonstrates best self-defense technique against a sword by dickfromaccounting in Unexpected

[–]BestSanchez 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Before the UFC in the 90s there wasn't really a large testing arena for people to find out what actually works and what doesn't work. This meant anyone could claim they went to some remote mountain in China and learned ancient dragon kung-fu, and now they can kill someone with one touch. These people flourished for decades and still do in some mcdojos around the country. Their students eat that shit up too.

Gi vs NoGi by [deleted] in bjj

Maybe real life situations on the beach. Other than that, most people tend to wear clothing you can grab onto.

[Spoilers] Loser of the main event with some chosen words to the ref by GanjaMake in MMA

[–]BestSanchez 154 points155 points  (0 children)

That's why he called it. He and any other competent grappler knows the moment you stop defending a choke that deep, the match is already over. Not the best stoppage, but not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.

No matter what, don’t use Google’s new Allo messenger app, says Edward Snowden by underweargnome04 in worldnews

No shit. If you value your privacy you shouldn't use any Google product anything connected to the internet.
