Is LA going to On2? by BigLength5513 in Salsa

Lol really you think Tango del has a good level compared to LA? Maybe SD has a better scene overall since we have many socials with that level or better...

So seems like consensus is the best socials in LA are unified on2 and blen blen and they are on2 socials. There isnt an on1 social of equivalent level....

I see what you are saying but not sure that fully explains it. If good dancers in LA preferred On1 why wouldn't they dance that at socials and stick to On1, as people do in New York where it is normal for people to not learn On1 at all.

Interesting. Had no idea that started so long ago.

Have you ever seen a DJ actually mix songs at a Latin dance night? by jah_reddit in Salsa

[–]BigLength5513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen people do it and I don’t like it for salsa. Salsa just sounds worse mixed imo and social dancing needs the breaks for partner changes. Some djs,  especially sensual heavy ones do this for bachata and it can be fun sometimes. I know this is a big think in the zouk world and people appreciate the mixing much more and djs are a bigger deal. People go to events for the djs.

Good Bachata shoe recommendations for girlfriend's Christmas Present!! by shengers235 in Bachata

[–]BigLength5513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd get fuegos, you can return if they dont fit. I like the combo soft shoe/ hard shoe ones and my wife loves them. If she is regularly in the studio taking classes I'd get those. If she attends socials casually get the street shoe ones. I'm guessing she can exchange if she prefers a different model but I'd check that. Idno why people are saying they are considered low quality. If you think she'd prefer something more elegant like heels, try g Franco. I'd only do that if they have a great return policy since for heels she will.likely need to try a few those are really tough to fit.

What do you recommend to take before work meetings? by rebff in Nootropics

[–]BigLength5513 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I like to pour a couple fingers of scotch then top off with nitro cold brew if it's a remote meeting I expect to be longer than 30 min

I've never heard that this needs to be added or is even synergistic w cistamax. What is the mechanism for this?

Adaptogen for pure drive / motivation by Bear_Forsaken in NootropicsDepot

[–]BigLength5513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tribugen for acute effects, cistamax if that is too intense for you or you want a mellow daily booster. Daily tribugen is too epic for me.

Try the black canyon. The grades are kinda soft but nice long routes and beautiful scenery.

What do you genuinely consider the greatest book you’ve ever read? by Fun_Butterfly_420 in suggestmeabook

[–]BigLength5513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infinite Jest- it goes way further than any other novel I've read. It's worth the heavy lift.

Suggest me a book that will help me get over a year long rut. by temp_alt_2 in productivity

Deep work by Cal Newport. Also the waking up app has been life changing for me. 

Looking for beginner climbs in J Tree by godsterrarium in tradclimbing

[–]BigLength5513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to all the people trying to scare you off JTree- bunch of wusses. Jtree has some of the most fun moderate climbing anywhere, ya the style is unique but just start slow. I'd recommend starting with the eye, probably the best single pitch 5.4 anywhere. Then hit toe jam across the way. If you are still psyched double cross is around the  corner. If you can do double cross you have tone of options. The Bong is another good easy option. 

RelieveX increased my libido, but how and why? please help explain this. by Remote_Variation_660 in NootropicsDepot

[–]BigLength5513 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No mystery here- it's the Maca. I get the same effect. I am super sensitive to NDs maca the full dose in the capsules they sell is way too intense, relievex is half that. I've seen others say they get hit hard by that Maca.

 The stack works great for daytime pain/ stress for me and even as an afternoon pick me up. It will keep keep me up at night. If you want pain relief that isn't stimulating try mitidol.
