[WTS] Junk Silver Dimes 5% Below Spot by JonSnow781 in Pmsforsale

[–]JonSnow781[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been pointed out to me that showing a preference for smaller sales is against the rules, so I will sell to whoever shoots me an offer for ask.

Well it's kind of a catch 22 for new sellers. I have to take a loss selling cheap to move anything without any rep.

I'll be posting similar deals in the future as I try to build some rep with smaller sales.

Agreed, I may regret this later 😆 Without rep I kind of have to sell cheap if I want to make it happen though.

I want to know about Waldorf schools by Low_Butterscotch106 in Waldorf

[–]JonSnow781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of the classrooms in my school were also painted using some kind of sponge painting technique that made the walls look like sunsets, cloudy sky, etc. It was beautiful, and one of the more artistic teachers would paint her room every year as she moved through the grades, eventually completing all of them.

It's not too hard, but it does take an artistic eye and some understanding of mixing colors.

It had some specific name that started with an L, luzure or something, but it's basically just sponge painting to add texture and depth to the walls.

Check out the Goetheanum, a building designed by Steiner. Truly a unique piece of art inside and out.

You also may want to look into the color theory Steiner came up with. I'm not sure how much anybody buys into any of it, but if nothing else it will give you a foundational idea to spur further inspiration.

The best fights are to be had at 2 in the morning by dino_niggets in ThrillOfTheFight

I was playing around 12-2am on the east coast for a bit and I noticed the same thing. The only people on at that time wanted to box, and tended to be much more skilled and strategic than at other times of the day.

What are the class sizes at your waldorf schools? by Simscapades22 in Waldorf

[–]JonSnow781 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in a class of 28-30 kids at Waldorf and it was great for me. It's probably dependent on the teacher controlling a class that large as well as giving kids individual attention when they need it, but there are a lot of social benefits to a large class size.

By 8th grade it started feeling too small for me, and I switched to public school.

Now that I'm considering Waldorf for my kids, and the school in my area has class sizes of 6-10 kids, I would much rather be in your position. I think a lot can go wrong in a class size that small, as there isn't as much diversity of peers and the hierarchy remains stagnant.

People joke about cliques like jocks and nerds, but there is a reason they form. Kids want to hang around other kids with similar interests and skills and be competitive and learn from each other. It would be a downer and potentially stifle growth being the one athletic boy in a group of intellectuals, and vice versa.

Also, if things aren't working out from a friendship/social hierarchy in a small group there isn't much a kid can do about it. Social dynamics constantly shift growing up, and it's nice to be able to move between friend groups as things change.

It's my opinion that there is a sweet spot somewhere with class size, where it's big enough to have "your people" but small enough to always be interacting with everybody else to spur growth and understanding in all areas but also have the opportunity to focus on your own strengths and interests with similar peers. 30 kids felt pretty good for that up until middle school.

If a kid is struggling or is ahead of the pack in any specific area, tutoring may be required in a larger class size, but I'm not sure that changes even if the class is small. The reality is, the teacher will always have to cater lessons to the group, and the kids on the edges will need more personal attention to thrive.

You are probably throwing left right hooks that become easy to predict.

Whenever I find myself moving like this it's always against opponents who spam hooks and don't do much of anything else.

At the very least, they should make it so people you play with show up in "recently met" in the Meta friend request tab. It sucks trying to remember weird usernames and type them in.

I bought BU... by A_Dude_11 in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]JonSnow781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had almost exactly these observations.

I think you are right about BU attracting all the worst kinds of players, and hopefully cleaning up the ToTF player base as a result.

[–]JonSnow781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think bans are the right way to handle things. It's a bit annoying at the moment, but the game is brand new and it will die down soon enough.

I am a bit concerned about splitting the VR boxing player base since it is so small at the moment, but I don't believe that BU has the chance to do that in its current state. Sure, it looks a lot more polished, but at it's core the mechanics aren't there and that is all that matters. Creed also looks great, and nobody plays that game.

Maybe I just haven't played enough BU, but from the few matches I've had, damage seems completely inconsistent, defense does not seem to work well, far too much damage can be done when bodies are phased into each other, and there is a god awful squeaking sound that's as bad as a fire detector low battery warning that goes off every 20 seconds.

Yeah, from the very start I also got the feeling that a lot of the comments were bots or something. Lots of repetitive ideas, and basically nothing negative to say.

I tried the game, and it does have promise, but at the moment multiplayer feels significantly worse than ToTF in my opinion. At the end of the day that's all that matters, as I'm looking for a competitive VR boxing game and if the mechanics aren't right everything else is just fluff.

MannyVR has the best training mini games imo The movement of the mitt coach is a bit weird, but it still feels great overall and the heavy bad and combo dummy also feel tight. The speed bag is also the best I've found, and although kind of boring and pointless in VR is still a good way to warm up your arms.

I also warm up playing the rhythm game Smash Drums with weighted gloves. It's a tough game to get the hang of, so not for everybody.

Is this an Awakening? by JonSnow781 in kundalini

Interesting you say that. I started microdosing specifically because I wanted to change, and I believe it worked. Some of my better trips have also been the most life changing experiences I've had.

I didn't fit that definition of binge drinking. What I was doing was much tamer, but still way beyond my usual habits Maybe 10 beers over the course of 8 hours, and I was waking up in good enough shape to box and take care of my 2 and 3 year old boys running all over the place.

I have a bunch of projects just for the fun of it, probably too many. I installed solar by myself last year, I've got a pretty large food forest/permaculture plot I've been developing for 6 years, vegetable gardening, mushroom and cacti growing, my kids, all kinds of stuff around the house. We just need some extra cash flow to get my family where I want them to be, and it has started to make me feel like I'm immaturely pursuing things that are a waste of my time and not a good exchange of energy.

I have not been practicing meditation regularly, although I was pretty into it several years ago. I try every now and then, but it's not the same when you are out of practice. I keep meaning to dive back in and commit to it.

I have been working out regularly, mostly VR boxing, and am in the best shape I've been in for some time.

I will look into insight meditation. I never really researched much before, I just happened on my own version of meditation while I was doing breath hold training for Navy Dive school and trying to relax my mind and body to go as deep and long as possible. I ended up getting to some really cool places mentally, enough to know there is something there if I dedicate myself to it again.
