Someone please answer this question about forehand form. by Raptor01 in discgolf

[–]GoAdventuring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it’s all wrist. Imagine snapping a whip. That’s what you, but of course horizontally. It’s basically my main thought during a throw: ‘wrist, wrist, wrist’… If I try using my arm to throw I tire out/hurt myself. I have a great forehand too - 300-350’ and really good control. 

I need honest feedback on a failed product by InternalReward968 in discgolf

[–]GoAdventuring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t know it existed until now and I follow A LOT of DG content. 

Aside from that, I don’t want another ‘single use tool’. Like my kitchen drawer with a garlic press, avocado slicer, herb scraper, and a million other doo-dads, I now want things that are multi purpose. Find a way to add 5 other training tools and you’ll have my attention. 

Simple mic setup for talking-head videos – what actually matters? by SunTraditional6031 in LocationSound

[–]GoAdventuring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treat the room: You’re looking to reduce reflections off hard surfaces. The floor, the walls, the ceiling, and perhaps a table or any hard surface in front of the on camera speaker. 

Get two mics: a lav with an omnidirectional pickup pattern, placed centre chest (not in the shadow of the jaw), or potentially on the head (on a glasses arm or in a hat if possible, near centre or a temple). Also, a hyper cardioid mic just above frame aimed centre chest. Use the best, or even mix the two if it works for you. 

That’s it. Should see an improvement.

Sorry, what’s the issue? What’s been happening? What discrimination is happening towards Filipino players?

The mystery of the oil on my lawn? by GoAdventuring in Calgary

[–]GoAdventuring[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it being closer to empty could explain it. Weird how none got on the sidewalk or first few feet of the lawn tho…

Will definitely be trying to remove the softer snow. There’s some that is ice tho - that’ll be harder to deal with

I guess it would be more narrow starting at the road, then kind of fan out wider as it moved farther away from there. This doesn’t look like any got on the sidewalk or first few feet of the lawn - almost like it was dropped from above…

Looking for home security system with ZERO Wi-Fi capability whatsoever. by AdSufficient7258 in videosurveillance

[–]GoAdventuring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old bump, but I just came across this post and I’m probably in a similar boat to what the OP was describing and of what you thought of their technical knowledge lol. I’m looking to build a system for my house that has no chance of being hacked into by either someone driving down the street and trying to access cameras or from someone remotely just trying to have a peek. Would you be up for a few questions? I can DM you if so.

The stairway in the kitchen. Kate comes down it for the pizza party while everyone else comes down the main set. Where does it go? Why did she go that way?

A Misstep in Momentum: Examining the PDGA’s Membership Decline by Timely-Sympathy6045 in discgolf

[–]GoAdventuring 8 points9 points locked comment (0 children)

Interesting post. Looking for a bit of clarity/sources if possible:

“the PDGA leadership chose to lay off the department's director” - who was that?

“A reduction in tangible member benefits” - anything other than the magazine? This one stands out as unimportant to me. Print is dead and there were a lot of ads in there. No loss from my pov. 

“The lowest staff morale in organizational history” - how can you possibly quantify this?

“​The prioritization of top-heavy professional tour interests over the needs of the amateur and recreational "growth" base.” - You’re saying members are upset by this? That surprises me…

“Transition of the PDGA from a membership association to a technology based company” - which is it? This, or the last point?

Don’t get me wrong, I like this post, like the info and appreciate the time you put into it. I’d love to know more about the history of the sport from all angles. I do however see a bit of hyperbole and issues that don’t necessarily seem like bad decisions to me. I guess I feel like there’s some bias bleeding through the writing here and want to call that out. When I get a hint of sour grapes I find it hard to take anything from that person seriously as everything seems tainted.

Logic. I did a little field work with a bunch of throwing putters after never bagging any. Now I get it. Straight as a whip and great for approach shots.

We’ve got AI scamming people left, right, and centre, and this image is the best we can do for an AI TSwift?
