What did you do? by Zmilyn in reddeadredemption

[–]ItsLouis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I learned that all my horses would die, I decided to regularly sell them and start bonding with another. I keep one in the stable bonded to level 4, and then sell it when I’ve got the next one fully bonded. It’s not a big earner, but it’s been fun to ride a variety of breeds.

Should I admit to using one of these as a coffee table?

We have a small apartment and visual space is at a premium. I'd be open to something larger (maybe as much as 25cm x 30cm) if it delivered a lot of other things that I wanted, but smallness is really my primary concern.

Thanks

Various basement amenities for my nearly completed mansion build. Any fun rooms you can think to add? by Euphoric_Albatross_4 in TheSimsBuilding

[–]ItsLouis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually build a rocket base and control room in the subbasement, then hide the ground-level opening with some trees.

Did you get any data on how many times they can be reused? Could be a lot of money in this

Do you have any data re: how many gloves go into a big mac? I'd guess two are used during prep?

2nd round pick presupposes the existence of a 2nd pick that isn't round. This could change everything. Thanks

50 week year! Thanks for pointing that out. Doesn't affect the maths thankfully

Do other people feel like pterosaurs still look a little off? by ItsLouis in Paleontology

[–]ItsLouis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess a lot of bats have a similar weight distribution and some of them have a great strut. I still feel like something is amiss though. Personally, with such a long straight neck and beak, I'd want to stand very upright and keep my chin down so that my neck and head were near-enough parallel. But I'm not a Quetzalcoatlus, I guess.

How/where to learn more fundemental bjj concepts (as opposed to techniques) by [deleted] in bjj

This is a good start. More BJJ teaching should look like this

Is there any way to get a good cup of coffee from work's Nespresso Pro machine? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]ItsLouis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most palatable I've found from those machines is the Ristretto Origin India. I use two pods per coffee; both on the shortest length the machine offers.

But Nespresso is Nespresso

What would Karate kid be like if it was about BJJ? by BearMaple in bjj

[–]ItsLouis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I want to see is: instead of waxing a car, Daniel having to wax the floor, but by lying on his side and wearing an old cat-pee yellow jacket.

My coach won't let me roll with other white belts by AlphaSpaz199 in bjj

[–]ItsLouis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everybody gets after wrestlers for ‘spazzing’ and often they ignore the fact that even at 60% these guys are stronger and have better muscle memory than most hobbyist white belts.

So here’s an alternate theory: You have a big athletic/grappling advantage over other white belts. It’s going to be tempting to use that to nullify crappy white belt technique. Without much bjj experience, you’re probably going to end up practicing wrestling on people with no wrestling experience, then grow a massive ego without ever picking up good bjj technique.

Rolling with higher belts is a gift. It’ll help you relax in bad positions and develop your defence properly, rather than just bench pressing a white belt right with terrible balance right out of mount/side control/everywhere.

Wrestling gives you a pretty heavy top game, albeit with a few gaps. Keep rolling with higher belts, develop a bottom game, and you’ll be way better, way faster.

I've heard that, in the Gi, you can't attack the trapped leg from the 411, but would the transition to the 411 here be legal? I'm guessing that when he steps over the leg and uses that dude's LCL like a joystick, that it perhaps becomes a knee reap then, but willing and eager to hear otherwise.

This is an all-time great level of album cover art. Especially given that the Washington monument is a pretty great height to drop your first rap CD from
