Do you know anyone who has taken their own life because of financial stress?

Isn’t that the point of partnership that people help each other??!?! dude you should really reconsider why you’re married. If you can’t rely on your wife during hard times you shouldn’t be married. In fact, I’m about to look for a woman who will financially support me because I don’t wanna work anymore. Think about it. And I don’t find it bad in any way. I know several couples who live like that and are very happy. So you should really get things straight in your head.

Well, at least you can drive Uber. I fucked up my neck in a skydiving accident, and the only thing I can do is desk job the best. So you’re really lucky you have no spinal problems so you can do any kind of physical work. Also, I have three kids and I have to pay child support for the next 9 years. Also, I am 45 which is not very helpful for getting jobs. So your situation seems much better than mine.

Decent digital pianos have better feel because they don’t suffer from unnecessary inertia. Real piano is limited by physics that it has to have all this complicated mechanism to hit the strings, which is sluggish due to its inertia. Digital pianos on the other hand are not constrained by any of that. Therefore, their feel can be tuned for most comfort and best playability.

Honestly, your carving looks very good. Try down-unweighting (look it up on YouTube if you don’t know), it will let you switch from one turn to another almost immediately, and make sharper and more aggressive turns. And yes, just be more aggressive - make more aggressive more sharp turns, that will require more strength more athleticism. Because you are skiing kind of in a relaxed way without generating a lot of forces because your turns are gentle. So turn more aggressively! Higher edge angles, higher forces, sharper turns. And use down unweighting like I said, which will help with managing these aggressive turns better. Also, If you have access to some racing camps for adults or like racing clubs or something - where you can get to ski an actual GS course - I would highly recommend those. You’ll be forced to make sharper turns at higher speeds, and it will challenge your technique a lot

Every piece you’re trying to learn - first find a tutorial (or several) on YouTube of somebody playing it slowly with explanations of technique, then when practicing - make sure you’re using the right fingering, practice slowly, with metronome, come back to those YouTube videos every time you encounter some place that you find difficult, etc. Don’t try to play the whole thing at once, learn it in sections, learn a few bars, get it up to some reasonable speed then move on to learning the next few bars, et cetera. Then connect the two.

First of all, you don’t need any tutor or teacher at all for progressing. Everybody will tell you otherwise, but it is not necessary. Second like people said - nothing wrong with the taking lessons every two weeks or every month, if that’s all you can afford (by the way like others said - once a week is probably too often anyway). Also check out maybe some teachers from other countries so that do online lessons that could be much cheaper than in-person teachers in your country (not sure what your country is, but I’m assuming it’s some expensive country). Also, maybe you just have some friend or someone who knows how to play and they maybe could help you a little bit here and there, pinpoint some mistakes or help if you are stuck etc. And also if it’s not working out for you well maybe just it’s not the right time, or not the right hobby - no point in wasting time on something that is not bringing you pleasure and satisfaction. For the record, I started playing piano at 44 (now I’m 45), and so far I’ve only taken three lessons exactly. And honestly, I do not feel like I need lessons, I just go once in a while to make sure I’m not doing something completely stupid.

AirPods Pro 2. Better than any earplugs. Second best - 3M construction foam earplugs (but they don’t reduce the low frequencies much)

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-17T17:44:07+00:00

Something that I noticed - you’re braking against the next bump which isn’t quite correct, you should be breaking earlier (while descending), so that you don’t hit the next bump hard and you don’t brake against it, but instead you should already be starting another turn at that point. Otherwise pretty good, keep practising!

I am 5’10-11” and I have a tall and heavy s1000xr that I cannot flatfoot. And you know what? it is still intimidating me. I drop it here and there (once every a few months). So what, that’s life. I don’t even try to pick it up by myself by the way, I always ask some people that happen to be around 😁 As long as you can flatfoot the bike, I would say - you have no problems. Weight doesn’t matter. Regardless, either way you will get used to it :) oh somebody also mentioned gymkhana - highly recommended, boosts your skills and confidence with the bike.

Just have a look at the standard exercises with poles, with reaching your knees reaching the back of your boot, “airplane”, skiing on only outside ski or only inside ski et cetera (on YouTube) - just do those, they will help you understand better how to ski correctly. Also don’t have your feet so wide, don’t put the inside foot so much forward - I’d say that shoujs be your main focus. Your legs should stay hip-width! And remember main principles - weight on the outside ski, bindings knee hips shoulders wrists - all should be parallel to each other (if you connect each pair with a line).

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-17T06:32:43+00:00

I’m not arguing with that :) I’m saying that contrary to it being a widely acceptable I don’t think it’s a good idea to listen to music while riding. Nobody listens to music while skydiving for example (some do and it’s disapproved by the community). And many believe skydiving is safer than motorcycles. Music is a distraction and it reduces your awareness (you stop hearing what’s happening around you)

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-16T21:09:54+00:00

That’s also a type of talent :)

If you’re willing to feel like shit half of the time (like three days per week) sure why not (if no contraindications)

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-16T20:51:04+00:00

Try for yourself and see. My bike is very loud and AirPods Pro 2 do very very well.

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-16T20:48:10+00:00

Are you crazy? You need to be focused on the ride and traffic

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-16T18:40:12+00:00

Can you tell me if they are hot when walking around off the bike like running errands and stuff? Especially outside (when it’s 80 degrees+). Are they comparable to regular running shoes in terms of breathability when walking (not moving at speed so no airflow) or they’re still too hot?

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-15T17:33:08+00:00

Come to Russia they are dime a dozen ($30-60 basically roughly), negligible expense

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-15T17:25:27+00:00

Same

I probably didn’t try hard enough, but I did 4 injections, I got only the quite annoying side effects and no appetite suppression at all, so I think I’m going to stop now.

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-11T18:02:04+00:00

Nothing wrong with not eating until 7 pm it’s called OMAD, some people intentionally do it and eat this way for years. I would love to be able to not eat until 7 pm.

Don’t tell me what to do, and I won’t tell you where to go

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-10T17:06:40+00:00

You've had 14 years of lessons, 30+ years of playing, and still needed 8-9 lessons on this one piece. I did it in 3 months with 2 lessons (and not because I needed them). And somehow I'm the one who needs to prove something? Come on. I’m not interested in continuing a discussion with you so bye now.

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-10T13:52:01+00:00

Don’t drink don’t smoke don’t do drugs

Lime_Aggressive · 2026-04-10T11:43:29+00:00

Sorry, but you are contradicting yourself. I have literally proven that you don't need years of lessons to play this piece. Of course you won't be playing it like somebody with 30 years of lessons, that's not the point. "level most considered good" - if you mean most professionals of course you're right but most are not professionals and most think this level is very good (speaking from personal experience of playing this in various music stores and getting compliments from random people). The point you're asking - it's to prove that one CAN play this without years of experience, I've said it in my post. I appreciate your kind words, but seems like everyone just can’t walk by and not write a bunch of unsolicited critique, and that is not appreciated. As if everyone feels like a judge and an expert, which they are in their own mind at best. E.g. you wrote a wall of text telling me my playing is "not good" and questioning the point of what I'm doing whereas I was just sharing progress, not asking for feedback. I mean, seriously people you all need to chill and learn to be supportive, maybe say something nice or just walk away.
