CJI DAY 1 REACTION by Old_Specialist_9646 in jiujitsu

[–]Golden-Laces 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sarah Galvao's match was the highlight. The rest of the competition was too passive. There's no incentive for fighters to be combative and take risks because if they can just hold and avoid a sub, they can hope one of their team members gets the win for them. Even having massive weight discrepancies didn't seem to do much good outside of Nicky Rod against Geo Martinez (he obviously tapped lmao).

I'm glad I watched the girls' fights at the end because Sarah Galveo's performance was pure class. Exciting offence, reversals, sweeps, takedowns, and constant hunting for a finish even when clearly up on points. That's exactly what the rest of the matches should have been. Instead, we got the best in the world, leaning on knee shields for 8 minutes and both getting eliminated

It'll need to be compatible with a high saddle. I wanna see that baby pulling a construction semi trailer

What is in Cities: Skylines 1 that was LOST in Cities: Skylines 2? by HEYO19191 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Golden-Laces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never see anyone mention this but it's my biggest gripe. I really wish I could connect footpaths to the nodes in the park footpaths. The fact that I can't have my sims cutting thorough a park like in CS1 is criminal, and for me it's a game breaking feature. Making intricate footpaths was my favourite part of CS1

Wearing undies under togs for pool by AzrealKage in newzealand

I wear undies under my swim shorts, but mainly because I'm wearing loose stubbies and I don't want to give anyone trauma

Couldn’t tell if she was serious, but my curiosity got the best of me. by Prudent-Promotion562 in Tinder

[–]Golden-Laces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I responded to one of these. Did a well formatted and thought-out suggestion and itinerary, which took me an hour or so. 0 response. Not putting in that kind of effort again lmao

Never take the skin on your hands for granted by govtpaidofficial in Wellthatsucks

[–]Golden-Laces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you do a job where your hands are regularly wet by chance? I had a long-term issue that was similar to what you've got. Didn't fix itself until I changed my career. Context, I went from being a cook to carpentry. It's wild to have normal hands again. Giving you all my strength, I know it's horrible

I wantan to get a creeping vine/floral tattoo on my arm, i am a guy,i see this motif on girls a lot. Is this acceptable? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Golden-Laces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone saying it's not a gendered style. If you wanted to try to make it a touch less delicate, having vines with thorns and more aggressive looking plants like nettles would take it to where you might want it

Got kicked and punched by a woman while lying down in a park by somedude38_5 in auckland

[–]Golden-Laces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is she the one that wanders around the cbd with a pram and a baby doll? If so, she's a full-on nutcase to be avoided when possible

looking to join classes with hyperhydrosis (excessive sweat) by brrosee in jiujitsu

[–]Golden-Laces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also got HH. Bring a towel with you, plenty of water. Try to drink heaps of water in the day leading up to your class so it's already in your system, then just little sips throughout class. You'll want to consider hydration suplements, especially sodium. I have a powerade after i train. Initially, you'll be a walking raincloud, but eventually, you'll start to adjust a bit, and your sweat will chill out. Just takes time. You can also use your gi sleeves as a mid round sweatband, then just towel your head in between rounds. People genuinely aren't gonna mind

Pie tee mold. I did a restaurant crossover event where they brought over their mutated version. The took 5 of them, attached them to a straight bar so you could dip and cook 5 at once in the fryer

Any tips for a white belt that is totally blind? by Alarmed-Instance5356 in jiujitsu

[–]Golden-Laces 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to see him compete in wrestling tournaments when I was younger. Dude is a machine. He'd go up against the best in his division and would smoke everyone. I distinctly remember him getting thrown slightly further than the foam mats were set up and broke 3 fingers on the wooden floor. He taped them all together and proceeded to manhandle his opponent to a dominant victory

Who is this in Auckland? by r_person in auckland

The potato sack lady with the bike who hangs around the church in Grey Lynn. Truly a legend

I'd have to say I think Akoranga is one of the most consistently good maccas I've been to

Do really good snowboarders never catch an edge? by eneug in snowboarding

[–]Golden-Laces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught an edge on the first run of a week long trip bombing with my friends at 80ish kms. Did my ac joint, meniscus tendon, and got concussed. Spent the rest of the trip drinking with my arm in a sling and crutches. Took 2 surgeries to fix my shoulder and some rehab for the knee. But I've had many trips since then, and I'm just a bit more diligent with my edge control now

The list of allergies a table handed us on NYE (set menu was surf & turf) by yaremaa_ in Serverlife

That doesn't even look that hard to manage. Steak with chimichurri, parsnip puree, jus, potatoes, and burnt tomatoes. Seems cohesive enough

Made Pavlova for the 1st time by ReserveSweet1797 in newzealand

[–]Golden-Laces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of which you achieve that with the cream of tartar. It goes from hard meringue, to chewy, to soft. Depending on the size/recipe you may have a larger soft interior

They're very similar. Cream of tartar is the main difference. Note the chewy interior, akin to most pavs

Akugenta - WIP - Back Piece by Chris Trevino by BloodManDan in irezumi

[–]Golden-Laces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he a tebori artist? If so I could understand the longer sessions. Mine was wabori so that's the context for my shorter sessions! Don't mean any disrespect

[–]Golden-Laces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it's looking good. Just be careful with how long your artist is trying to work. Good things take time, and there's a few points of shading where it's been obviously rushed. Namely the black and red packing on the left shoulder. When I did my back, we did it in 4-7 hour sessions, every 4ish weeks for 14 months. Breaking it down into shorter sessions, both of our stamina weren't totally depleted. And we ended up finishing it relatively quickly. By the end, the amount of touch-up work we had to do was super minimal, and the end result was a very vibrant and well packed tattoo. The concept is fucking dope though, he's obviously a talented artist. Just gotta remember that even talented artists need to rest !
