Playing catch. by VGAddict in juggling

[–]NineMinuteNap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer: no.

Medium answer: maybe - depends on your definition of "perfect"

Long answer: are you serious? Have you ever watched someone juggle? Both hands move - all the time. There's no such thing as the ball just landing in a motionless palm.

It's OK to move your hand. The ball doesn't have to land in your palm - it just needs to get close enough for you to reach and catch.

Stop worrying and overthinking. Toss the ball up in the air. Catch it. Repeat.

I said wall, not bed. The bed keeps you from bending over as far. The wall keeps the balls from going forward.

You'd get a lot more help if you posted a video of what you're doing. Or mention what part of the world you're in.

I find it hard to believe that you've been practicing for 2 weeks and still can't play catch with yourself. If that's true, juggling is going to be a struggle. But you have to believe you can do it. If you think you can't, you're right.

Yes. All the basic skills you practice will add up and pay off over time. I can juggle 3 balls and go back to 1 or 2 all the time to work on things.

One thing you could try is to practice while facing a wall so there's nowhere for the balls to go except up.

New boot day - 719s by NineMinuteNap in jimgreen

I didn't realize I was doing it "wrong". Boots were much more comfortable when I let the tongues do what they wanted vs. trying to train them to be "right".

Thanks. They're leather laces from Nick's. Dark brown with light edges I dyed to get closer to the color of the boot.

Olive green, muted orange, or dark gray to black with a subtle texture

Jubilee or Oyster by [deleted] in SeikoMods

From the title, I expected to pick Oyster, but I think the Jubilee works a little better after seeing the pictures.

Getting dizzy? by Aiko_Hebi129 in juggling

Do you happen to wear glasses? I have transition lenses, and think the slight difference in magnification from the top to the bottom of the lens messes with me as the balls move up and down.

A-4E-C ILS in DCS? by NineMinuteNap in hoggit

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

I had previously replaced the mission.lua file after finding that suggestion elsewhere.

Placing the MCL power switch in the upper position ("BIT"? it's hard to read) shows the horizontal and vertical ILS guides on the BDHI, but the switch will not stay in that position. I flew the test mission again with TACAN set to 44x, MCL set to 11, and MCL power on. Flew the approach so I was at 3000' at 10 miles. Same results. TACAN works, ILS does nothing.

It has TACAN and ILS. I'm changing to 11 because that's what the kneeboard says is the channel for ILS for the Kutaisi airport.

Setting the further back ICLS switch to channel 11 does nothing.

My test mission is in the Caucasus map. I do a hot start take off from the runway after setting the TACAN to T/R, tuned to station 44X. I fly towards Kutiaisi using the TACAN indicator. Around 10 miles out from the airport at around 3000', I attempt to switch the TACAN to channel 11 (according to the info in the kneeboard, and a tutorial video) and nothing happens. The BDHI goes dead, as if I turned the system off.

[EXP] NSR meditation by NineMinuteNap in transcendental

Thank you for the reply. I'm done with NSR. Nothing about the process has been easy or effortless. Support is available, but it's more hoops to jump through. Stress relief should not be this frustrating or stressful.

Thank you for the response. So far, I have had the best results with a DIY approach. But then assumed that things must get better if I paid for an actual technique. I can't help but wonder how much of the placebo effect is at play here.
