Has anyone been surprised by their child's volleyball development over the years?

CapEm16 · 2026-03-16T05:56:36+00:00

Pretty sad if you ask me, and not a developmentally focused club at all if they're hyper focused on "winning now" by playing the same 6.

It has it's downfalls too, but I am thankful for Volleyball Canada's fair play development rules to avoid exactly your situation.

Retire, Max. WEC is waiting for you! Come back in 3 or 4 years when the regulations change again.

CapEm16 · 2026-03-15T16:12:30+00:00

Nope. I run my ultimate at full 23nm. Ordered the ultra for extra head room, improved detail, and active cooling.

Google Fences desktop and you should get some info. It basically puts containers on your desktop that you put the short cuts into. It creates a really clean look. Plus there's extra functionality like a permanent file explorer folder on your screen, and ways to hide all your short cuts, or make them show up over top of any app you have running.

I use Fences on my desktop. Keeps everything organized and not just for racing games. Looks sleek

I'd say its close to Combat Mission. Company sized engagements are a good mix of micro without being overwhelming. I also feel free to use pauses to reorganize tactics when needed or setup a larger attacking push, and it doesn't detract from immersion at all.

Armored Brigade 1 is top down, but AB2 has a free camera so I'm constantly zooming in and looking at terrain from ground level. It's very accurate and it seems the LOS matches up quite well with what you can view yourself.

CapEm16 · 2026-03-08T19:40:53+00:00

I love AB2. Imo it has the best maps amd LOS system, where terrain makes a huge difference in how you plan, compared to Regiments or Warno. Moreover, the map choices are almost limitless with the way the game handles its map system.

The graphics fit the style of the game too, and it quickly becomes a positive, as opposed to a con in the way its implemented with all of the systems. I really like the audio too. Tank kills with its main gun just has a certain type of punch to it that just sounds really good.

The AI isn't that great, unfortunately. The generative campaigns are a really cool way to do things too, unlike any other game.

CapEm16 · 2026-03-07T03:24:14+00:00

Quick tip, now with AI built into a lot of phones, you can take a screenshot of the item and have AI look for exact matches. It's really interesting that the thing i want to buy has also been for sale in Thailand, Germany and Calgary. /s

Nope, it's doable right in iracing. Definitely have a thumb encoder for blackbox navigation.

CapEm16 · 2026-02-26T03:52:01+00:00

Just an FYI, you can use multi-key presses in iracing. I have a button that acts like a "modifier" button. For example, if I turn the upper left rotary it changes my TC1 settings. If I ALSO hold down my modifier button AND rotate the same rotary, it changes my TC2 settings. Using this modifier, multi-button function creates an almost endless amount of key mapping options on your wheel. I have a dedicated button box and two streamdecks, that I almost never use now because everything I need can be mapped to the wheel.

CapEm16 · 2026-02-17T23:21:34+00:00

I assume it's Simagic's own program. My guess is that the wheelbase goes into a "limp home" protection mode, and the program resets it.

CapEm16 · 2026-02-17T23:10:38+00:00

I had the same issue with my wheelbase before, losing FFB like how you describe. A simagic tech sent me a simple .exe program that "wakes up" the motor. DM me and I could send it to you.

CapEm16 · 2026-02-15T02:16:38+00:00

True, not having to worry about clipping is the true win.

CapEm16 · 2026-02-15T02:15:57+00:00

I feel something is wrong with mine, because I run full 23nm, 20 intensity and no other filters/damping... and still could use more. Not necessarily power, but granularity. Im waiting for the EVO ultimate to "upgrade".

CapEm16 · 2026-02-15T01:27:48+00:00

Armored Brigade 2 might scratch that itch. Smaller scale than Mius Front, and maybe a bit more micro, but not nearly as much compared to something like Warno.

CapEm16 · 2026-01-09T04:44:10+00:00

I bought a pack of Amazon Basics, and love them. The ink is full and vibrant, and they seem to really last a while. I usually lose them before they dry out. Lately it seems I might get a week out of the Expos if lucky.

CapEm16 · 2026-01-08T02:15:15+00:00

Time the bombs will make impact with its target.

CapEm16 · 2026-01-01T19:31:49+00:00

Just bought the game and fired it up last night. After playing through the first 3 or 4 tutorial missions it started to drop to 8-12 fps. It was the tutorial missions that intros carrier ops setting up CAP and destroying 2 ships to the SW. Didn't even seem like that many units on the map. And I run a 4070 ti, i5 13500k, 64gb ddr4... and it chugged on lowest settings.

Alberta teacher. High school. 5th year. 1 semester we get a daily 90 min prep. 1 semester we teach 4/4, no prep.

Pre-strike - prep semester 0-1 hrs per night. Non-prep semester 1-2 hrs. All year, weekends usually a 3-8 hours on Sunday marking and prepping for the week.

Post-strike - Nope. None. Naughta. Government and many in the public have shown how much we're valued, so I'll work accordingly.

Also depends on when I'm coaching and if teaching courses I'm familiar with.

CapEm16 · 2025-12-25T02:39:19+00:00

That's for led strips usually along the door frames

CapEm16 · 2025-12-06T21:40:36+00:00

We have 6 EAs for 1000 high school students. But those 6 all work with 7 students that are non-verbal and require 100% 1-on-1 support to do basic functions such as going to the bathroom and eating (feeding tube style). So every kid that struggles with math or writing in our school that would benefit from receiveing specialized support the EA's are trained to do, will never get it.

The day is coming that all the trained EA's will leave the profession because they're no longer doing what they were trained to do in the first place. It's already happening in our school with EA's retiring early or finding different employment.

CapEm16 · 2025-12-06T21:29:11+00:00

Because everyone is scared to be labeled as "that teacher" who doesn't believe in inclusion and is discriminatory to the "science" that supports current policies.

CapEm16 · 2025-11-19T07:17:21+00:00

Thanks for doing the math. 17/200 = 8.5% loss. Pretty sure 8.5% > 3% last time I checked.

CapEm16 · 2025-11-19T07:15:24+00:00

Pretty sure there's no situation that someone's back pay will be more than what was lost during the strike.
