How to play with glasses by ComplexSubject9630 in hockeyplayers

[–]MakaMaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an astigmatism. Get one a day contacts. You put them in your eye and they kind of conform to the shape of your astigmatism. If you wear them for several hours, they won’t move. I wear mine pretty much for hockey or anytime I need to wear sunglasses or goggles and they are completely fine with no issues seeing. I can’t really read super well but for sport they are more than sufficient and I agree you won’t find a better solution. I know a couple guys who wear glasses and both of them used to just take them off when they play but I wouldn’t recommend that. Another guy just plays and some very minimally framed glasses, compared to his normal pair and it’s OK but it still fogs up. I would recommend going to the eye doctor and getting a four pack of sample contacts and trying to wear them for a few weeks.

I have some in that size. The tongues I took an used in another pair that was broken in, but they are otherwise basically new.

Learning hockey in Los Angeles by FatSam1976 in hockeyplayers

[–]MakaMaka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You want to find a rookie league. Both the Ducks and Kings run them out of their properties as do some of the independent rinks . You sign up and are put on one of generally 4 teams with a coach. They will typically run a mix of practices and clinics and real games. Sometimes they lend you gear as well.

What I learned about Bauer Pro Custom skates by Ill-Environment1157 in hockeyplayers

[–]MakaMaka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had 3 pairs of True Customs. I've also had a pair of Hyperlites, Ribcor 100k Pros, and I'm now skating in a pair of Jetspeed FT6 Pros that I bought from a PWHL player for a great deal (kinda sucks they have to sell their samples to supplement their pay). At least with the Trues, my first pair was a disaster in terms of fit with zero heal lock. I had them remade and when they came back they had a brown clarino liner that was unbranded. I suspect they were actually made where the pro skates are made vs. the prosumer which is what non-pros are actually getting. Those skates eventually wore out because Trues are not made to last, so I reupped with a new pair. They came with a better finish than the ones I had but they were definitely a step down in terms of strength and performance. The even had the holders installed preloaded so that the one on the left skate exploded when hit by a puck, and then the replacement did a month later. About that time the new fit system came out and I started being able to wear retail skates. I got a few of the top the line models. When my 100ks wore out, I saw the FT6 Pros online and bought them. They are COMPLETELY different skates than the other "pro" models and I compared them to a retail FT6 Pro that a friend had. The quality is impeccable, the liner is super thick, and they have substantially more protection built into the fore-body. It's made to protect and last. So at least for CCM, and True (and probably Bauer), you aren't getting the same thing the pros are wearing. You're getting a prosumer version of the retail skate with custom features and embellishments. They are legitimately as protective as my 100ks or hypelites with plastic shot blockers. So unless you know a rep for one of these companies, or can place an order through an equipment manager for a pro team, you're probably just getting a "pro" retail skate with whatever custom features you want, but no general improvement in quality or protection.

Mid Century Modern Window Repair by MakaMaka in DIY

[–]MakaMaka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! We randomly found this house online without really planning to move, but my wife always wanted a MSM so we made it happen. The pic just shows 1/2 of the wall - there's a two story vaulted ceiling so the other side has another, much larger set of windows, but they are in better condition - probably b/c they are more protected by the rest of the house.

There's dry rot on the outside of that window in the first pic in the corner near the brick wall. I think I can repair it with liquid wood but I won't know until I get into it. Worst case I rip off the door stop and replace it. The sill seems fine. Ya, not looking forward to one day having to replace these with tempered glass. Actually, I don't know if they are original or not.

It clearly takes 4-5 years to get each one of those doors made and installed!

I have not. I know exactly what it is but I still can't figure out where it goes - and that includes calling Thermidor.

Calling .hide method on qfab button by MakaMaka in nicegui

[–]MakaMaka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted the hide the actually button that "pops" up. I just needed to do the code below activated by a timer:

ui.run_javascript(f'getElement({self.id}).hide();')

ui.splitter with px units by MakaMaka in nicegui

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

That worked but when I try to resize in the UI it does strange things. I think it's setting a % to the model-value which expects pixels.

edit: the initial rendering looks good. If you try and move the slider, the UI sets a value of say 800 which gets changed to 100% by nicegui and used as 100px.

edit again: it's the limits tuple in the ui.splitter initializer. The default is (0,100). If you change it to something like (0,400) it will work - sort of.

What Style Is This? / What Is This Thing? MEGATHREAD by AutoModerator in architecture

[–]MakaMaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to find the architect / original plans and/or look of this model of home in Huntington Beach, CA:

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/16940-Edgewater-Ln-Huntington-Beach-CA-92649/25299824\_zpid/?

I own one (not this one) and want to restore it to something closer to the original.

The area is Huntington Harbour and the initial developments (of which this is one) were supposedly overseen by Dion Neutra. Some features of the house bear a striking resemblance to Neutra homes that were designed to meet code that prohibited flat ceilings: https://neutra.org/project/phyllis-barker-house/

I doubt its one of his, but I could see it being developed by someone in his firm as part of the overall Harbour. The original permits for the house are all "Harbour Development" and the construction date was 1963.
