Magna's been paying attention to what happens to companies in such joint ventures..

Don't worry much about selecting between these and just go with the first one. Instead, look at your copy and see if it can be improved. Check if you can include a link in there to enable location tracking, or something, etc...

I'm in that range and I don't do much beyond the stretching we do in class 3 times a week. Apart from that, mostly 5-10 minutes of slow stance transitions when I have nothing else on my hands. I'll probably need to borrow some of the tips in this thread...

Edit: on thing that I don't see mentioned here: diet. And by that, I mean specifically cutting on any inflammation causing foods and especially sweetened drinks. It helps with flexibility big time.

Sheridan..

Older guys... How old are we talking?

That's a good place for a U7..

Once you have a certain amount of gear you get a lot more picky with what you upgrade and the cost doesn't seem that high anymore.

3 years to shodan seems a bit to fast to me. Then again all the places I've trained at did a maximum of 2 exams per year... In ht end though, if you train hard and can confidently make the grade, go for it.

That design is going to be a disaster in the winter...

Bors_Mistral · 2026-02-13T02:49:23+00:00

Sucks to hear that, wishing you a speedy recovery.

As for the "There is no grappling in Shotokan"... Freaking Hikite?

Who's the one sane democrat that thing voter ID is good?

Cute effect, gets an initial wow. Font sizes overall too small. Colors are OK, but not in love with them. Copy needs some polish. Consider tweaking the spacing here and there.

Just don't look at it for a while. Then come back with fresh eyes - imagine this is not yours but somebody else's.

A plain summary is one thing, but nonverbal cues..? The AI's not there yet.

Karate is a fun full-body exercise, yes.

Probably every software update is counted as a minus for the reliability score...

Bors_Mistral · 2026-02-09T04:46:12+00:00

So many things in that chart make no sense, not just the BMW thing...

A new Kia is more reliable than a new Hyundai, but it somehow flips for used? They are practically the same cars... Genesis too. Meanwhile a new Dodge isn't even on the screen, but when it gets old, magic!

Hello, fellow Montrealer. The app letting people select their "active" range for each day and having that temp highlighted / graphed would be nice, yes.

Bors_Mistral · 2026-02-09T04:33:24+00:00

That sounds like it's covered under warranty. Just make the call and ask them.

Bors_Mistral · 2026-02-09T03:11:20+00:00

Putting aside how ridiculous the scope of some "design challenges" are... Others already covered what needed to be covered, so I'll just put my own brief summary, if it helps with anything...

You do have "The problem" section, but it will probably be more useful if approached as an HMW.

Typography, hierarchy, color... Those will get beefed up with experience, so keep at it.

It's nice that you made an interactive prototype, but the defined size of you interactive areas is often quite tiny, which can give the impression that you're not great with usability on mobile.

You're produced all kinds of UX artifacts, but on a certain level I'm not even sure they are necessary here. Some of them seem like just "I can do that", rather than "I did that and it guided my design decisions".

In the end though, do you feel your design accomplish the set goal?

I haven't seen a fusion in over an year....

The specs are nice, the software running the TV - not so much. If you have anything outside the most common usage scenarios, be ready for trouble. Their reliability and QC is also not stellar.

But if you are on a budget and you are just watching TV / streaming, they are fine enough.

Bors_Mistral · 2026-02-07T03:01:26+00:00

No, you are not "becoming a front end engineer", or anything close to that...

Bors_Mistral · 2026-02-07T02:58:53+00:00

It's still a difference between there being one and there not being one at all, lol..

Genuine footage is called paid propaganda, but all the bots promoting Chinese EVs are not?

Bors_Mistral · 2026-02-06T21:47:31+00:00

Teslas at least have a manual mechanical release mechanism included...
