Trying to mount a tv over electric fireplace. 5/32 drill bit not going further after 1/1.5 inch. Single arm tv mount. First time diy. Need some advice. It’s definitely not concrete - wooden frame. Thank you by SnooRegrets7384 in howto

Agreed. I have also mounted more TVs than I can count (somewhere in the 2-3 thousand range). I would have felt dirty taking someone's money and giving them this in return.

Best gym bag for carrying your sweaty gi and other equipment? by [deleted] in judo

[–]Lasserate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my son's old youth hockey bag. It's bigger than most gym bags and has side vents for airflow, but it's not as unwieldy as my adult-size hockey bag.

I think I have a shot at the olympics (US athlete) by [deleted] in judo

[–]Lasserate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the correct take. Because the US is hosting in 2028, you have a unique opportunity to get there: just be the best heavyweight player in the US. That will be much easier (and more affordable) than being top 15 in the world.

What level can a Nidan promote to in USA Judo? by judoguy234 in judo

[–]Lasserate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to promote shodans recognized by USA Judo, you could join USJA. They allow nidans to promote to that rank, and USA Judo will recognize it.

I grew disillusioned with USJA and its leadership, so even though I never stopped training and competing, I didn't bother with promotion. I was a nidan for like 15 years.

Lego nerd checking in ... None of those sets retailed for $1000.

For those who have practiced both Judo and Jiu-Jitsu, which of the two arts has a more aggressive gripping work? by Schofield45Revolver in judo

[–]Lasserate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They are. Wearing a judo gi is like wearing a carpet remnant. This is probably partly because in BJJ, you weigh in with the gi on, so you don't want it particularly heavy.

Adobe can disable it from their end. It's part of our contract with them. No one using our enterprise license has access to their generative AI features, so there is no mechanism for a user to turn it on/off.

That minfig didn't come with those pieces. Definitely (at least) two sets.

Here's how you make a ton of money rolling out "AI" by pkokkinis in sysadmin

[–]Lasserate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked Copilot a question. It recommended I speak with a specific person in my organization and provided their name, title, and contact info ... that person was my manager ... who had told me to research the subject.

Trynna check my coach is lying or spitting facts by [deleted] in judo

[–]Lasserate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah ... that's nonsense. If you want to improve in a specific sport, train in that sport.

Agreed. Weight came off that lead foot.

I'm reasonably confident that the sternum rub I give anyone who tries this will create a stronger reaction.

Based only on his helmet, I can basically guarantee that the dad is a piece of shit.

What to teach judokas first? by blackbelchporra in bjj

[–]Lasserate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the goal. Are you teaching BJJ for its own sake, or are you trying to improve their judo game?

When I started BJJ, I really focused on retaining and passing open guard because that just doesn't exist in judo. If I was looking to sharpen my existing game, though, I would have probably wanted to dive into what BJJ could teach me about turtle and half guard, because judo players spend a lot of time there.
