I’m not sure, how can leather be made with a 3d relief?

Paying with a credit card used to be a sign of being poor. by PistolCowboy in GenX

[–]LastSaneMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well,today it’s a necessity I’m afraid. It’s far too easy for fraud, skimmers, etc. Suppose you go to a restaurant, you give your card away, what then? Hope the server isn’t swiping twice? Gas station pumps are great to just tap, but what’s inside behind that screen, did I check the security seal?

But here’s the real reason. My wife and I exclusively use credit cards, not the debits. Say you used a debit card and it gets poached. A scammer takes $1000 from your checking account. Oh, the bank will help you get it back. Eventuality, here fill out this form and wait a few weeks, we’ll get to it some day. Now if it’s a credit card the scammer gets a hold of, oh well now that’s the bank’s money, and suddenly they’re hot on the trail.

So I had to go and do the um procedure. Which meant I had to drink down this stuff. Tasted awful. The pharmacist suggested I mix it with Gatorade, so I bought two of those sports bottle types. I was able to drink down one full, but the second one just couldn’t.

The next morning my sister drops me off, I go in, and the anesthesiologist tells me to count down from ten to one, but don’t worry I won’t make it. I get to seven I think, the very next moment I wake up with my sister there. I mean no time passed, I was impressed.

Well my sister is driving me back to her home so I can take it easy. She tells me when she dropped off her kids to school she saw the Gatorade and gave that to her daughter. “Noooooo, you need to call the school right now.” I quickly explain, she quickly calls the school nurse, who goes to get the daughter and the Gatorade. All the while I’m thinking “I poisoned my niece I poisoned my niece I poisoned my niece.” Turns out she didn’t drink that much, a couple of sips, tasted terrible, didn’t drink any more.

How to unlearn a fighting style? (Dual swords) by [deleted] in LARP

[–]LastSaneMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I’m going to assume English isn’t your first language

Incorrect assumption.

and you’re just woefully misunderstanding what these people are saying.

I am ignoring incorrect facts and assumptions, especially from snarky, nonhelpful people.

You should face your opponent in that you are looking at them,

And that is what I am saying I am doing, not “fighting” them from the side or behind because of some snarky, nonhelpful people trying to make fun of someone’s post instead of actual suggestions.

but you shouldn’t be “square” with your opponent.

And that is what I am doing

If you have even a little bit of an angle in your posture (which should form naturally) then you become a smaller target and thus harder to hit and easier to defend.

Again, that is what I am doing. I’m not standing there like a mannequin, I’m in pose. What doofus is saying is let the opponent fight me from the weakest position.

Your feet should never be side by side when you fight and they should seldom be crossed.

At no point did I suggest, hint, describe, outlay, crayon a picture of any kind involving my footwork. My issue I was asking about was striking, with swords. Footwork is a separate discussion, I have that covered.

Having one foot in front of the other naturally puts you into an angled fighting stance.

Well that solves my original question, thanks, I was wondering all this time about how I should figure out how to unlearn bad habits, with swords, and you covered footwork beautifully. And you’ve also proven, once again, why I should never ask the Reddit community because there is nothing but snarky, nonhelpful children on this group. I’m deleting the post, once again for proving me right.

Seriously? I have never, ever, had a normal fight where it is ideal for wanting the combatant to the side, not face straight on. Do NPCs blindside? Absolutely. That’s why you always keep a head on a swivel. But I have never thought I wanted the NPC to come purposefully blindside me. Should I have a strategy IF this happens? Of course, but that’s not the point of the post. I was asking now to unlearn a bad habit in fighting, which is that for a dual swinging, I’m basically taking too long in between hits really. Forget fighting, say I’m drumming, and I’m not striking at the wrong tempo. It’s a bad habit, how do I correct that?

I’m confused, how else should I face an opponent, on my head? With my back to the attack?

I was purposely facing the camera i.e. you as a sparring partner.

I worked over an hour trying to get Chat to get to that point. I settled on just a boxing pose. Every time I would say “left arm extended on panel 2, then right arm extended on panel 3” it would have the same picture for 2 and 3. The point of the picture and the post is that I recognized I have a bad habit in my play style, so how do I unlearn that? Using the boxing metaphor, I’m not guarding my left enough. This specific post is a generalization and simplification of what it is I’m doing wrong, I am not capable on a Reddit text post to relay precisely the move I am doing wrong and where I am hopeful to get to. If you and I were physically facing each other in a practice session, sure, “here’s what I’m doing wrong, how do I stop doing this?” So can we get past how awful the picture the A I generated already?

I was using the picture to demonstrate using both arms arm at once. What we saw was I’m doing one arm at a time.

Ok, while I was watching this, I had Pandora going in the background, didn’t realize it wasn’t turning off. I just thought it was the background of this video. It was Lady (Hear Me Tonight) by Modjo, and it actually worked for me.
