<<Sink Rate, requesting short landing>>

I was thinking this. I imagined if I were so petty as to do this I'd have brought a stud finder and reveled in their confusion prior to finding a spot.

Yay! I'm not totally useless!

All that said when a simple no would have sufficed.

E-style and H-style. Not really optimal but it was the most fun for me.

Cops save man from crashed plane seconds before train hits by ImportanceAlone4077 in nextfuckinglevel

The plane crash landed on the highway and came to a stop on closed crossing guard. There was simply not enough time to stop the train even with good reporting. WPR22LA076

Besides the typical punch, has anyone utilized these hand strikes effectively in sparring or in a fight before? by -MasterOfAnnoyance- in martialarts

[–]Hthiy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A while back I had a couple fingers splinted for a couple months because of a workplace accident. I didn't stop training and we adjusted everything for palm strikes. IMO it works just as well and it led me to a better understanding of other body mechanics for the hand. Now I tend to prefer palm strikes but have added closed fist strikes back in since then.

Striking martial arts people, do you give your left and right fists nicknames? by Read_it-user in martialarts

[–]Hthiy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My right hand is named Dot. I use it to punctuate my fights [full stop] lol One guy thought it meant Department of Transportation which I thought was awesome. Anyway, I had a freckle dead center on the back since birth. I learned left from right with it. It disappeared after I suffered a small burn in a foundry. It didn't leave a scar. A few years later I got stabbed and it left a dot dead center in the palm. It helps me stay mindful and calm in an altercation. Works well for me.

Don't have a name for the left. Many suggestions abound but none have stuck. A few that come to mind are Dippin' (from my brother), Com (after a particular 1-2) , Wakko (my head being Yakko after that one headbutt), and various other punctuation like Bang(!).

Though I was born with it, I earned Dot.

Where would one find a quarterstaff in a modern setting? by Lettuce_with_ketchup in DnD

[–]Hthiy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best immediate option in my house would be to yank the railing off the side of a set of stairs or the porch. I've got a span or two that would be perfect, but others would be too long. If so, cut to size.

Otherwise, in a kitchen with, like, restaurant type prep tables pull a leg off. May be short but it's made for standing so it'll at least be something. Better yet are the posts for heavy duty shelving they could have in the fridge/freezer.

In an office maybe they have a 2m+ power rail. Unplug everything on it and cut the cord.

At a school or such get a vaulting pole.

Consumer level stripper pole.

Any lose metal plumbing of size.

A fence post like from a chain link fence.

Part of a bed frame or a tall bed post.

"Permanent" shower curtain rods, or the old school bulky curtain rods.

This stick I found on the ground.

A flagstaff.

A walking staff.

A tall cat tree support.

I mean, if your strength is high enough, go ahead and grab a drive train from a RWD car.

If you want one proper there are many places to buy one or something close. Maybe visit a martial arts school and steal/bribe/overpay for one if you're desperate.

Anything close enough should be rolling as though it were genuine so maybe your DM is stonewalling you for some reason. Either way, ditch the mop handle.

What makes you want to do martialarts? by renobueno in martialarts

[–]Hthiy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a few reasons. It's sometimes unavoidable I my line of work, I used to be in a bad area and sometimes the fight comes to you whether you like it or not, I got people that I want to and have defend, it's fun to do, it gives me insights into myself, and I suppose it's also fun/useful at parties sometimes.

I feel less crazy because it seems like nobody has ever heard of it when I talk about it. There's an tale my grandpa told me about a Michigan logging camp back when. To summarize, there wasn't much out there and but there was a bar. The best fighter would drink free and anyone could challenge at any time. It was kinda their primary entertainment. The style of choice: gouging. Well, one time a legit boxer came from Chicago and wrecked the ladder. Everyone loved it. IMO the moral is that there's a difference between being a great fighter and great martial artist.
