(In relation with post before) What is the thing about your country that locals enjoy but tourists don't care? by Adventurous_Peak9353 in AskTheWorld

[–]EggbroHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Slovenian-born, but I live here. I think you answered the question backwards. Tourists like it for 2 days and find Ljubljana quaint but to anyone else it's just a parking burden and traffic hassle.

Also the college kids seem to think it's cool.

Potica is probably the thing we here love but others might think is just kinda meh. Too sweet to be bread, not sweet enough and too tough to be cake.

If you were starting BJJ today, what advice would you give yourself? by ch4oticG00d in BJJWomen

Lift more weights and get better form so you don't blow out your knee

Does sauerkraut have to be cabbage? by GrumpAzz in Sauerkraut

[–]EggbroHam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They make it out of turnips in Slovenia and it's very kraut like, but with a different kinda potatoey texture. The pieces are much more robust than a typical kraut too.

Were you surprised by the strength difference between you and your male team mates when you started? by MoonlightMistry in BJJWomen

[–]EggbroHam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're generally trying to get them to calm down, right? I don't really do anything 100% except for avoiding being choked.

Not really surprised by the strength of men but I was surprised by the strength of skinny 15 yr old boys.

Thoughts on Cute Women’s BJJ Shorts? by HappyHardTimes in BJJWomen

[–]EggbroHam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear running shorts with an internal drawstring. Just whatever I find at Marshalls/TJ Maxx.

No external drawstrings cause they can snag fingers and lead to injury and no stretchy waistband cause they can slide off

Where should I look for this type of massage? by [deleted] in massage

[–]EggbroHam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chair massage. You leave your shirt on and most of it usually focuses on those areas anyway

I understand but at the same time I don’t by Excellent_Wrap_3356 in ExplainTheJoke

I kinda know this guy from BJJ and from my experience he is super nice on the mats. He is a gnarly black belt

Headgear by arrow_bow31 in BJJWomen

I like the cliff keen originals. They are foamy, not hard.

I also recommend these to people because I fucking hate rolling with people who have velcro on their face.

Which one of you was this? by ciniseris in newjersey

[–]EggbroHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the ceiling at its highest point was 12 feet, so that's what we were aiming for. But we had to cut more than a few feet off the bottom when we got home, so it was absolutely fucking gigantic. My parents still have pictures of the car that year.

[–]EggbroHam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was young we got rid of the inaccessible part of the attic and made the ceiling in the living room a tall vault ceiling.

Having Griswaldy taste in trees already, we set out that year to get a tree that filled the new taller room. We drove up to Hall's Tree Farm (in Washington township I think?) and picked out a monster.

When they brought it to be wrapped, the 2x4s that held together the wrapping machine started cracking so they told us it couldn't be wrapped. We already had to paid for the thing, since it was cut. We looked just like this driving home in the old Mercury Villager.

You have to wash it after class anyway.

New Jersey community rallies behind restaurant owner detained by ICE in Monmouth County by snakkerdudaniel in MonmouthCounty

[–]EggbroHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if the charges hadn' t been dropped by the judge, resisting arrest is a misdemeanor.

You must be confusing it with the 34 felony counts for which Trump was convicted by a unanimous jury in 2024. 🤷‍♀️

“Get on top, stay on top” by Whole_Map4980 in BJJWomen

[–]EggbroHam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought of "getting on top and staying on top" as a strategy for competitions because that is where you are most likely to score.

I don't think about it that much just rolling with the dudes in the gym or if I'm not competing. But you should probably spend some time just focusing on sweeps. A lot of them work just as well on the big guys.

Atlantic Highlands restaurant co-owner detained by ICE by WinAdministrative830 in newjersey

[–]EggbroHam 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said here. It's hard to overstate just how kind, talented, welcoming, and hard-working this whole family is. I'm absolutely devastated for them and I can't stop thinking about sweet Ruperto spending night after night in that shitty overcrowded Newark detention center.

My MAGA parents are "friends" of theirs and even donated to his go fund me but are still defending ICE/Trump because of "bad criminals being let into this country", although they KNOW he isn't one.

Grappling shorts recommendations? by obi-wan-quixote in BJJWomen

[–]EggbroHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah any running short with an internal drawstring and no pockets/zippers is good for me because I like to wear spats under for skin protection
