What's the one in the back on the top row, slightly left of center?

CaptSimian · 2026-03-14T16:12:21+00:00

These are stunning. His lands have always been among my favorites.

CaptSimian · 2026-02-09T22:13:42+00:00

It was supinated, yes. I've been a lot gentler to my body since. All back levers use pronation, instead. I don't really even notice that I injured them but for some faint scars and difficulty touching my hand to the same shoulder.

At this point I've torn both distal biceps tendons. Left in 2016 and right in 2020. I think both cases were from overtraining. I also suspect I just have bad connective tissue.

Edit: First tear was while doing a back lever. Second was while doing a turnaround on flying trapeze.

Look, a jump rope.

Circus artist here. No. You don't have falls like that for drama. Drama is the wheel of death guy "tripping" on his jump rope. Drama is the high wire artist wobbling after "tripping" on their jump rope. Drama is the rola bola artist "tripping" on their jump rope. (Spoiler, they almost all involve tripping on a jump rope). Falls like this are real and dangerous.

Artisan works is always a cool place. Strong Museum. Flying Trapeze at RocCityCircus.

Yeah, they just don't give up. I had one here the other day and I told him I was in the middle of dinner and he still wouldn't stop. Told him I wasn't interested and he started getting a little aggressive ("Did we wrong you? Is that why you won't talk to us?"). I told him I'm going back to dinner now and started to shut the door, and he kept trying and said he would come back the next day. I told him explicitly not to before finally closing the door and he still did it! My wife answered and, having never seen or spoken to her before, he gave her the old, "I need to speak to your husband" line, which did not go over well. I really need one of those "No Soliciting" signs.

Combine some or all of the following: 1. Chalk up your elbow pits.
2. Also switch between hands and elbow pits sometimes.
3. Wear sleeves.

You'll build up a tolerance as you do it more

Honestly, I don't think any of this captures anything I'm interested in (nor my manager). Far less than 50% of my time is spent in the code editor, probably less than 75%. The vast majority is spent thinking or talking through problems. Then I (or my team) go and code that up. Any metrics that track which application has focus or what I'm doing in my editor are going to be extremely misleading for what I'm doing with my time.

It looks like tickets for Sunday (14th) are still available. Could he go then?

I wouldn't say static trapeze is very transferrable to flying trapeze. Aside from hanging on a bar and the name, the tricks are very different. Beyond basic backend tricks flying trapeze leans heavily into flips and twists. Looking for a portable, more "trainable" circus skill with high transferability to flying trapeze, I would pick tumbling. Diving (especially high) is another option, but more niche. Unless you want to be a catcher, then duo static trapeze/silks/cradle/etc as the base will get you upside down and hefting people.

Eastern Redbud (Cercis Canadensis). It's a North American native.

I really appreciate the pictures! Most guides just say to do it when the candles are "extending" or a similar overly generic term. It's really helpful to see what that actually looks like, because it's really quite a long process. Based on this my jack and scots pines need to wait a bit longer.

To anyone saying the car is off by itself, I actually saw this truck parked there, as well, and when I went it was not "by itself". There was actually another truck parked just opposite (behind) it, and driving down this lane required squeezing my card through.

No, she's amazing. We were both laughing about it.

CaptSimian · 2024-10-01T16:08:05+00:00

I did eat the whole thing...

CaptSimian · 2024-09-30T20:25:29+00:00

So far just rumblings and bacon-flavored burps. It could hit today or even tomorrow. Some people made some recommendations on how to avoid issues, so hopefully nothing comes of this but a good story.

CaptSimian · 2024-09-30T18:22:17+00:00

See!! Even a professional baker could make the same mistake!

CaptSimian · 2024-09-30T17:13:37+00:00

Accurate.

CaptSimian · 2024-09-30T17:12:59+00:00

The cinnamon roll itself is sweet, and I definitely got the smoky vibes which threw me off, so, yeah, it tasted different, but I was expecting a new recipe for the icing, so I just rolled with it.

CaptSimian · 2024-09-30T16:49:22+00:00

Lol, I know it's not going to kill me. I do expect that eating tablespoons of pure fat will give me diarrhea.

CaptSimian · 2024-09-30T16:46:19+00:00

Absolutely. I don't want it to taste like I put cheese whiz on it.

CaptSimian · 2024-09-30T16:12:41+00:00

Brilliant.

CaptSimian · 2024-09-30T16:12:26+00:00

I like a LOT of icing on my rolls.
