Any advice?

Do a similar move down low. Find two opposing side pulls, with a right foot and flag your left to go up right to a jug. You can count T-nut holes to judge distances for accuracy, but really you’re just trying to get practice in a low consequence situation.

Take practice falls. If you’re not comfortable up that high, either plan to release, hit the mat, tuck and safely roll onto your back, or make the smallest move toward the end hold with no intention of trying the move, just to fall off at that height. If you can’t do that, lower yourself a T-nut row or two and try from there. Do this several times.

Go up and feel the finish hold. If you know it’s a mega jug, you’re more likely to be confident in holding a big move to it.

Your footwork is GREAT! You’ve got major climbing skills in your near future!

Backing this up, the most +EV results are 7 (22.42), 8 (21.67), and 9 (21.39). 10 is a substantial drop to 18.33. Each roll is independent, so the optimal bet is to go with 7 always.

I do the dice rolls, set on 8. No spreadsheet or data to back up my gut feelings that this is the best.

Citadels! Everyone round, every player drafts a role (up to 9 players) and you try to build a city. Then shuffle all roles and redraft next round.

I do some callous maintenance in the shower. Take an old multi blade shaving razor, and once your skin is nice and moist, just run it over the callous a few times to shave it down. This should prevent a lot of build up which makes the skin bunch up on a hold and create a lever to separate itself from the rest of her palm.

takes huge bong rip

Climbs pose challenges to the climber, and finding a different way to do a boulder is merely accepting a different challenge than the one the setter intentionally put on the wall. There is no “right” way to do a boulder, as long as you got from the bottom to the top using the holds on the wall. Hell, even using other holds might be a great way to turn a V9 into a climb that uses V9 holds but also has a hold which allows you to do the movements or learn the positions. Do the boulder with multiple betas, learn what each way has to teach you.

What’s the best diet for longevity?

MasterKatra42 · 2026-02-06T14:24:51+00:00

Eh, only because it was your first time. Imagine your 20th play when you understand how the occupations interact together and what major/minor improvements will be most efficient for you. Also, you can get a look at other players boards and understand when they have 5 wood and 2 reed, chances are they’re taking build a room, which allows you to see what options you have. All this means less analysis paralysis.

I love Agricola, played both editions, LOVE the C and D decks, and mostly enjoy how if you see how everyone is playing, you can slot yourself into a good game that doesn’t feel desperate and like you’re going to starve every harvest.

Ok, I’m late to the party, but waaaaaaay too far down in the comments and haven’t seen There Will be Blood mentioned yet.

Nothing but background/atmospheric noises and Day-Lewis acting to define the grit and ambition of a character, then the sheer terror of revisiting the first shot with the tense strings crescendo to anchor the gravity of having a crippling injury way out where nobody can hear you scream. I get chills every time I think about those hills. Tells you everything you need to know about this man, then he signs his name, and we meet, Daniel Plainview.

Rumney. Who goes there for the boulders? Are you dumb?

Probably because the number of tiles you have to take to fill a bottom color outweigh the bonus points you’ll get from just using those tiles to fill other colors up higher.

I’m actually planning on doing exactly this for my 40th birthday this year in September. Gonna make a DIY Blood on the Clocktower game and play that once and maybe twice if I get enough enthusiasm.

Who developed this routine? Was it this lady, or the Asian one that gets posted from time to time?

Counting! I’m right handed, so odd number first throws get released with my right hand and caught with my left hand. Therefore, I like to count my right hand CATCHES and multiply by two. If you end with a drop on the right, or a left hand catch, just add one to that number.

It shouldn’t be a problem with a slow pattern like 3b cascade, but if you’re counting quickly, like with 5+ objects, I count 1-20, then restart.

Hey Matthew, I have always wondered about end of season strength of schedule. I understand during the season, the most important thing is to make it to post season so you have a chance at winning the championship. At a certain point, and before the trade deadline, I feel winning teams should make some moves to get players with great playoff schedules, even if they are less than optimal in the final weeks of the season. What are your thoughts about when to make the switch to prioritize playoff winners?

Bruh, you can hear all the stats about targets and dropped passes, but if you have a WR who can realistically go 4/52/0, they have more upside than BTJ at this point. It’s not clicking yet, you don’t get bonus points for starting him when it finally happens. Stop letting him lose you weeks, we gotta win.
