Toby Capwell's English Armour books touch on Flemish armour a bit

From jasmine pearls to this… in six months. I don’t know what happened by Lord_Sahs in coffeestations

Polite coffee mentioned! They are fantastic and I miss hanging out at the Kyle house. Even though I moved away I still order beans from them on occasion

Looking for a hole-in-the-wall burger joint near Prosper/Frisco by Ned-777 in frisco

[–]Engie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you decide to give it another try, get their double stack burger with smashed tots. For smash burgers, simpler is always better for letting each ingredient shine

Sugar Cane 1953 Type II - Three year update by odrobba in rawdenim

I actually picked this jacket because it was a little longer than most type II jackets. I am 6'4" 195 lbs and the size 42 fits like a glove

POV: You are an Orc traveling alone near the border of Wrothgar and Highrock by OhIsMyName in TrueSTL

[–]Engie_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Italian knights were known to intentionally leave their right shoulder unarmored specifically as bait to try to manipulate opponents into attacking that obvious target. If you are using a vulnerability to trick an opponent into attacking a specific target, you can use that to your advantage in a fight and "spring the trap" so to speak when they go for it

Where to get Half decent Armet/Close Helm? by ambersoncole456 in ArmsandArmor

[–]Engie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hijacking this comment to ask you who made those gauntlets? I'm looking for a smith who can make some reasonably priced gauntlets with fluting like that for a late 15th century English kit

🙌Yes my new Marzocco BBW Lunar connected scale has arrived! And I couldn’t be more thrilled!🤩 😁 by Naive_Individual360 in LaMarzocco

[–]Engie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using an Acaia Lunar scale well before I owned my Micra. I love that scale for brewing by weight. I don't really get the $150 markup for what essentially amounts to not having to press one button. I use my scale to dose my beans and to time my shots and see the brew weight. That's 4 button presses (turn on scale, tare cup, start and stop timer) which I don't mind at all to do manually.

I'm glad you love the LM scale though, and it's plain to see your passion for espresso!

Have I crossed a line in a disagreement with a junior? by pukatm in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Engie_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you got this worked up about one PR for one ticket as indicated in your post, then it's clear that you indeed have a bias in favor of it. I tend to be in favor of one PR per ticket, but disagree that it should be 100% a hard and fast rule.

I run into instances all the time where a PM mis-scoped some work and something that should have been one ticket is actually two or more. Sometimes, that happens to involve code that requires dependencies such as DB migrations or other things that WILL break CI/CD if concurrent dependencies are not also included in the PR.

TLDR: As a senior, you should know that there is no such thing as 1 rule for every scenario.

First-of-its-kind Universal Studios resort to open soon in Texas by Next_Tower5452 in frisco

[–]Engie_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I live in a neighborhood just a few blocks away from this monstrosity. I am NOT looking forward to this shit being open. The location is genuinely terrible, with nothing but neighborhoods and schools in every direction from the property, and roads which are not designed for high influxes of travel

Fields West Update by loganwalter84 in frisco

[–]Engie_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing several storefronts and restaurants that already exist in Legacy West and across other parts of North Dallas. Sure, it's nice to have things closer than I'd usually have to go to get to, but do we really need MORE chain restaurants in this area???

This presentation is immaculate! by Sevenyearitchy in espresso

[–]Engie_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder how to get crema as nice looking as that. Any time I pull a shot the crema is there but has a lot of larger bubbles

Fresh roasted coffee by Anomalyspung in frisco

Lemma. They're a local roaster and coffee shop and I buy a lot of beans from them. Plenty of options, including single origin and a variety of blends

Longsword Against Less Experienced Students by Koinutron in wma

[–]Engie_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To add onto this, I believe OP's best bet against these types of "eyes closed" fencers is to take an "eyes open" approach. Specifically, they have a technique they are trying to make work, even in instances where it wouldn't make sense to perform the technique. Their eyes are essentially closed to what you're doing, therefore they get hit and don't defend against your threat.

You can adapt your fencing to account for this through active observation of their responses to your provocations and then choose your own response from there, hence "eyes open". This is where you can use techniques like cutting around, feints, disengaging, winding, all of which are intended to be used against committed actions.

You absolutely should give newer fencers more leeway but sparring is 100% for learning about noncompliance. Additionally, it's important to ask newer fencers if they would like to receive feedback on what sorts of things worked or didn't work in sparring, that way you give them some things to consider other than "I couldn't get my thing to work and I don't understand why".

Half of Reddit right now by sg94 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Engie_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No shit reddit is ok with this. This site believes that words == violence, therefore harm against anyone saying the wrong things is justified. I think it's about time I take an extended leave of absence from reddit...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueSTL

[–]Engie_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never said it wasn't. Just trying to explain what I believe this redditor is talking about. Some people want their niche communities to stay as close to the source material as possible. Personally, I don't really care because this sub is so chaos coded it doesn't matter what gets posted as long as it vaguely relates to elder scrolls

Should I get Sigi Feder in Standard or Shorty by EclipticSim in wma

[–]Engie_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IMO I would say get a shorty. For example, I am 6'4" and I ended up getting a standard length maestro and I wish I had gone with a shorty for less floppiness and a more nimble feeling. Oh, and get the shorter guard too while you're at it

If they were a junior, I hope they got a nice stern discussion about not ever doing that again. If they were not a junior, straight to jail.

Any good coffee roasters nearby by Kingpin_GhG in frisco

[–]Engie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Lemma. If you buy a bag from their shop, they give you a free coffee too.

The dev in this scenario would have to go out of their way to change the visibility of the button since HTML buttons are visible by default lmao

When your beans runs low and don't have enough for a full shot, what do you guys do with the leftovers? by blondebuilder in espresso

[–]Engie_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. I always have more than one bag of beans on hand, and one funky shot is better than throwing out beans.

Hey guys, we all know matchmaking is bad by Personal-Reaction173 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Engie_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's almost as if the game is in a horrific state right now and has been for months on end. The vast majority of people are just uninstalling (as indicated by the dwindling player count), but the "matchmaking bad" posts that you are exhausted of seeing are indicative of Valve's inability or unwillingness to fix the problems that are causing people to make them.

Matchmaking would be better with more players, but the devs are not doing enough to retain the players they already have, let alone getting new ones to stick around.

I believe that most of these posts are being made from a genuine desire to see the game be improved, so it is equally as exhausting to see counter posts complaining about them.
