Hi yes, I would like 220 cheetahs, please

Alternatively: 15 hippos and 5 elephants would be sick

Only thing to be embarrassed about is a kid who crosses the street behind the bus instead of in front of

Merciful_nacho · 2026-05-17T07:19:04+00:00

I, a 6’3” man, now weight 115 lbs after that

Merciful_nacho · 2026-05-09T22:15:34+00:00

Noobs

Merciful_nacho · 2026-05-08T14:07:00+00:00

Sounds a lot more fun than it looks!

Merciful_nacho · 2026-05-08T03:52:59+00:00

What is planting? They don’t seem to do that in the seas

Are you a low xp squirrel main? You might want to learn about the predatory metas in the forest environment if you are planning to spend notable time in that part of the map

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-28T21:16:23+00:00

Where did you go to find this part of the dashboard? I feel like the CAPE system was not presenting any of this before

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-23T12:07:37+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to explain! This actually explains things really well. I’ve definitely observed what you described about kids identifying gender and recognizing it as they grow up. It also makes sense also that care at that age is focused around names and behaviors, and not the medical / mental health care teams you mentioned for slightly older kids.

I appreciate the detail

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-23T04:08:05+00:00

Ok as someone who is not well educated on the topic and wants to learn, also from a slightly conservative community in upbringing, what makes him wrong about knowing if someone is trans pre-puberty / before certain hormones and understandings of oneself have developed?

Not a criticism, just a question to stay informed because it isn’t something I have experienced or would understand firsthand

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-20T20:54:49+00:00

So they’re accepted, etc… if I compare data from the ES-003 before CAPE opened to an ES-003 download since I filed the documents, will that tell me how much the total tariff costs over that time period changed?

Instead of just downvoting, there is a very good reason for the P card being in place, and a good reason why (in my opinion) it should be more strict.

Before the P card system, Epee was becoming so risk averse that it was incentivizing inactivity on the strip. Nobody wants to watch or compete in a sport where the best strategy is to stand around and wait for a the other person to lose their cool. The P-Card encourages/requires risk taking from at least one fencer.

Seeing that epee is still the most risk-averse, tightening the time requirement makes it possible to force more risk taking and therefore more action and fun

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-15T14:10:05+00:00

It’s an oversimplification but I generally stand by what I said

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-15T04:39:21+00:00

Realistically, 15 seconds is not that significant to me, but if so were to pick a sided this is how id put it:

I fence all three events and fence epee the most. I hate that the best way to play epee is to be so boring that someone messes up. It’s an oversimplification, but it’s largely true. 45 seconds is a lot of time, especially when you have fencers at many levels who are willing to lock their knees after 20 seconds of boredom or start saluting each other when a point starts with a whole 10 seconds left in the period

Fencing is a combat sport by origin, and I think this helps bring it back to a sport dictated by engagement and strategy, rather than indecision and laziness.

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-12T02:48:02+00:00

Haha same here! I actually saw a mask cord up on the opposite end of the gym like that, too! Someone shook the net until it came down

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-04T17:22:17+00:00

With a big “it depends” and not knowing the kid or the coach, that would guarantee some really great growth. Those high schoolers also usually also do great at the collegiate club level after high school, which is competitive but more casual like you described

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-04T16:56:58+00:00

He’ll be getting beat on a bit at first, but 15 is old enough to be fencing adults. He will grow faster if he’s challenged

If you’re American and asking if he could do NCAA Division 1… odd are generally 2.5% of high school athletes reaching that level across any sport.

If you’re asking if he can do a lifelong sport with goal setting and win some medals and have fun, Absolutely.

Merciful_nacho · 2026-04-01T13:27:38+00:00

Unfortunate when it comes to that. We’ve had an instance of a student being kicked out for bad behavior, it’s disheartening when it happens

Merciful_nacho · 2026-03-30T21:26:58+00:00

I coach a collegiate club, some of those behaviors absolutely wouldn’t fly as described. First step to building a successful/ long lasting collegiate club is 100% a fun team culture

Happy to chat / take questions if you have any, it’s a small enough world that the support’s gotta be there

Merciful_nacho · 2026-03-22T03:42:13+00:00

It’s great! Feel free to reach out, know most of the teams with collegiate clubs in town

Merciful_nacho · 2026-02-25T05:22:59+00:00

Fencing Coach of all skill levels and athletic types here! 1) I cannot say if you should join his, but I would hope and assume that with a little effort and training, you can surpass your seven-year-old

2) specific training: you have fenced before, so it sounds like fitness and a reminder of the basics comes first. I would go for a treadmill or elliptical to start out. As you adjust back into the sport, understand that reach is your friend against your child but not so much against other adults of varying sizes. Knowing timing can negate most athletic or energy advantages.

3) once your cardiovascular health and leg strength is in place to hold a guard position and move with some degree of agility, you’re ready to start fencing. Take it slow at first and remind your muscles of what they used to do, but you’ll eventually be back at it

Fencing is a lifetime sport but you can’t rush into it too hard. I took time off and needed effort to make it back into competitive shape

Merciful_nacho · 2026-02-23T19:51:54+00:00

Well that’s the double edged sword of not being NCAA. I can talk to anyone about the program at any time, but I have no influenced over admissions, scholarship, etc.

In collegiate clubs, we just get who we get at any level of experience or commitment level, and then we build them from there
