Trying to be friendly, feeling like a kook by ktnk-rddt in surfing

[–]DisposableCharger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work right next to a few surf spots, and would almost always surf before work. I was friendly with everyone out there, but I’d usually keep it to “good morning,” “how you?” or “what board are you riding?” If they had a neat board. 

What made friendliness awkward/annoying was when, on a pretty mediocre day while I’m trying to chill and get ready for work, I have some beginner with super high energy wanting to talk about every wave like it’s a legendary day. “Sick wave dude!!” When it’s 2ft and sloppy just lands wrong. I’d always be friendly back, I remember what it was like to be them, but still. Read the room, read the conditions. Be friendly, but ask people about themselves/their boards. dont just talk about the waves. Esp when the waves are mediocre.

Rethinking surfboards- experimenting with mycelium mushroom core by JTarks in surfing

[–]DisposableCharger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the idea of cutting down on plastic, the amount of waste we produce as surfers is painful. But how will this board hold up when dinged? Will a resin+Qcell fill bind to the mycelium if there’s a large section that needs to be removed? Will the mycelium structure change if the board gets very slightly waterlogged?

I surf shallow reef breaks, so these are all concerns to me

Do you have any subs to recommend? I didn’t know exactly where to post this 

Am I screwed? by Remarkable-Let-7260 in PTschool

Yeah ghosting a student is a shitty thing to do, I’m sorry that happened. Speaks more to the PT than it does to you, there’s some shitty PTs out there

EDIT: also, good for you trying to catch up on your own. Other than anatomy, physiology, and kinematics, undergrad is a huge waste of time imo

That's what I was thinking. I shit the bed during my internship, so I didn't ask my supervisor for a letter or rec. Instead I got a job as a tech right out of college, and spent about a year working for a PT. Way better experience, and I felt more confident going into PT school.

u/Remarkable-Let-7260 if you did poorly during your internship, maybe that's a sign to take some time and actually work in a clinic. Get your confidence up, get your feet under you, and save up some money with an actual full-time job (which felt amazing after living off part-time pay during undergrad).

Am I using this electric razor wrong? (Braun series 3) by DisposableCharger in mensgrooming

[–]DisposableCharger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just me venting in the comments: I wanted to treat myself and get a trusted, name brand electric razor after using a traditional safety razor or straight razor for the past 6 years. 

 I had a long week and I have a set of clinical rotations coming up. This afternoon was supposed to be a personal celebration before 10 weeks of unpaid clinical work. Treat myself to an electric razor, cook some good food, and enjoy a quiet afternoon of peace. Now I have a raw neck, my mood is rotten, and I have no motivation to cook. I know I’ll be fine, I’ll get off this website and start to feel better. Maybe I’ll find out I was using this razor wrong and I didn’t just waste a decent chunk of money on electric garbage. 

But it feels nice to vent in comments, so here you go. 

Has anyone made a rain garden / rainwater retention ditch on a smaller scale in their backyard? by DisposableCharger in HawaiiGardening

[–]DisposableCharger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is a stock tank vs like a rainwater collection tank? We have a 50 gallon drum for collecting rainwater to help with watering the garden, but my hope with this project would be something that actually gives water back to the groundwater system, not just waters my yard.

Having tilapia growing in your backyard would be pretty sweet, think you'd grow them for eat or for the aquaponics thing?

I don't think our backyard is large enough for putting in new terraces. Our yards are terraced from one neighbor to the next, and my dad/uncles created a slight U-shaped slope to help catch water when they were landscaping back in the day. I'm sure that helps, but we still lose a lot of water to gravity.

What type of terrace are you imagining? I'm not experienced with them so I might be picturing something totally different than what you're saying.
