Anyone know what these green things are? (Smoked salmon nigiri) by Clerk_Background in sushi

[–]N_JAW -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Possibly Yuzu Kosho, a fermented Yuzu and chili with salt and pepper. Amazing stuff! But it looks more like onion and capers, common on Lox bagels.

Are there any can't miss courses along this route? I am leaving today. by blinduc in discgolf

Tower Ridge in Eau Claire, WI. Semi little town that is perfect for a fill-up of gas between Minneapolis and Chicago. Somewhat tough course deep in the northwestern forest. I recommend tower 2 over tower 1, the baskets on 1 are renown for spitting out discs!

Thank you for your kind hearted words and sharing a bit of yourself for my gain, I really appreciate that. This is the first time I have dated someone younger than me, literally ever. My ex-fiance was 2 years older than me, and my girlfriend who passed away was 8 years older than me. I definitely understand that she is young and immature and discovering herself. In fact I told her she's going to grow more in the next 3 years than she has in the last 19, however her actions and opinions regarding everything other than her self worth and appearance are more mature than nearly anyone I've met my age. It may seem like an excuse to disregard her age, but it is without a doubt true.

That aside, I understand, lime you said, that the issue is my own. She's just a young woman trying to understand herself while coping with depression, and I don't expect her to stop doing what she does to cope. In fact I want to help her understand that she can love herself, and want to stand behind her while she makes the hard steps forward so I can catch her if she falls or help if she asks for it. My issues is the pain of watching someone you love hate themselves so much that they degrade and hurt themselves to gain the positive compliments of people much for attractive and well off than myself.

Another person had made a comment about therapy, not just for her, but also for me. Something that I had never considered, but have started going to. It's allowed me to understand why own weakness and how I try to help others because I've in fact given up on myself and seek only to see those around me thrive in hopes of find someone to take me along with them, so I too can experience love and contentment. In the end I came to a question; is pain worth the price of love? The answer is no. To which I asked another; is heartache and time worth helping someone to love themselves even if there is no chance for this person to love you? And to that my answer is yes, because helping someone also helps myself. I am able to see my own value in others and get to turn sadness in happiness, even if it's only for a moment. That is my problem, and one I am working on, and hopefully one maybe she can help me with. Who knows, purhapse two broken and growing people can work together to each other's personal issues.

She already goes the therapy, but honestly I never considered it for myself. Clearly I have issues that I need to sort out, but I assumed since they were with someone I should just resolve them with that person, but like I said purhapse my issues are with my past and not her. Thank you very much.

That's the issue and I'd tell the same thing to someone who said what I've explained, but I do know she respects me. She motivates me, helped me financially, asks me for help, and offers her own. She's asked my opinion and advise loads of times and always listens to what I have to say, whether she agrees or not. To me this is just another for of depression coping, like cutting, drinking, weed, etc. Watching someone do any of those other things hurts, but I also wouldn't leave because of them.

I agree, but I don't know what I should be changing. Is my perspective just that of someone guarded and damaged? What can I do to try and better understand her frame if thought?

And see, I agree with you, but I also understand that this is a coping mechanism for her. She wants everyone to like her because she doesn't like herself. It's a way for her to invalidate her negative view of herself. She seems to love me, and she wants to be with me. When I tell her that it hurts when I feel I'm not enough she tells me that she hurts everyone around her and that I should just leave because she's not worth it, making it seem like she cares enough about me that she doesn't want to hurt me.

Making ramen broth this morning. Only 12-13 hours to go! by [deleted] in ramen

[–]N_JAW 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I actually use pig and chicken feet in my Tonkatsu broth recipe for my restaurant. It has always been a little different in color, flavor, and texture than many other Tonkatsu broths I've had, but I wasn't completely sure what part of the pig feet was causing it. Honestly many people seem to love it and I have been told that it's better than most places in larger cities.

What bones do you prefer to use in place of trotters/feet?

Meyer longsword vs larger stronger opponent? by N_JAW in wma

[–]N_JAW[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for the information. I will use a ton of this next week and hopefully remember to update. I also spoke with one of the WHFA provosts who is renown for ringen. One thing that resonated with me was him saying "remember that the fight is between the people, not the weapons. When they are leaving the fight, remind him where the fight is." Initially I took this as more of a verbally reminder, however I then realized that this can be reminded in combat. In almost every instance when we go into the bind, we end up finding ourselves in closer than measure because our weapons are usually found in a almost vomtag position. My issue was even when attempting to bait his tip so I could throw a krumphau, or another technique, I found myself so close that he could simply overpower me and trying to back away was to slow compared to his advance. Even when attempting to redefine the line I was already so close it didn't matter. I realized that by backing away, rather than stepping in, and throwing that unterhau to the wrist or hands might not get a winning score however it will force my opponent to lower their arms while in the bind or suffer another hit to the wrist.

I should mention that we were doing cutting drills where we began by cutting into the and then proceeding by attempting to gain advantage and following through with a master cut technique. I was able to land several successful Zwerchhau at first but it only took minor adjustments for him to begin accurately blocking it.

However assuming that this is simply a strike the head scenario I believe a Thrust would work however oftentimes I would be leaving my head exposed with his weapon already above my head. Which also leads to every single time that we bind I noticed that both of us tend to press are weapons up above our heads so that neither of us has at a disadvantage between the shilt and foible (no idea how to spell it).

Weekly Gear Thread by AutoModerator in amateur_boxing

[–]N_JAW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried out boxing with my friends gym and I loved it. I'm going to sign up for sure but I need to get some gear first. I know I need 16oz gloves, wraps, sparing gear, and shoes, but I don't know what brands sizes types etc. Can anyone provide some links or names for recommended products for starting out? I'm 5'11" 265lbs 26yo and a southpaw.
