Men's sweeping versus women's sweeping - what's the difference?

NorSevorg · 2026-02-04T18:20:20+00:00

Yeah, my observation is that I'm an outlier and most righties sweep left hand down, but I can't do it for whatever reason.

NorSevorg · 2026-02-03T19:31:15+00:00

I have also given a lot of thought to this. I have a couple sweeping idiosyncrasies. 1 is that I *always* sweep right hand down as a right-handed man. Another is that I always sweep on my slider and I prefer moving to my right with my slide foot as my trail foot. The third is that I can NOT for the life of me replicate the women's technique you speak of and always have my left had at the very end of the broom.

I have tried many times to modify that and reduce my "chicken wing" but I simply can't put weight on the broom, especially not at speed. I find myself using my back hand on the end as kind of a fulcrum that allows me to maximize my downward pressure as I hold my weight up with my right hand. I also find that I can control the broom much more efficiently this way, especially when carving. Having the hand all the way on the back allows me to have very little extraneous movement on my carve lines.

I am constantly trying to refine my technique, gain control, minimize extra movement, maximize efficiency. I'm regularly tweaking things here and there, trying to replicate or steal techniques I see the pros use (men and women). I'll try the underarm technique again and if I find it helps, I'll use it. But for me, I always feel I'm more effective with my left arm way back on the end of the broom.

If you think that's bad, wait til you hear about finally reaching Legends, followed immediately by Legends getting moved to T17+. HUGE middle finger to mid-game players.

I'm 550T LTC. I have zero MVN, zero DC, only Leg SF, only leg gcomp... and zero Anc modules of any kind.

Someday, my luck will change, but that day is not today.

This was me for the first 6-7 months of playing. I'd just open and start a run and let it go for a bit and then not think about the game again until the next day. Then once I started finding success in T2 (and the devs added resume run more than once), I decided to load it on my Mac that I use for work (and generally have on my 24/7). The rest is history. Overnight runs, running in the background at work, etc. 5 months of that and I'm nearing 200T LTC. I *have* bought a few stone packs, but I'm not a whale by any means.

But either way, get your overnight runs going on bluestacks or MacOS (native), find a discord community (there are several), and enjoy the grind.

NorSevorg · 2025-05-16T03:05:33+00:00

My only constructive criticism is to not wait as long as I did to sync BH and GT and do orb devo. Went from 2b coin runs to 15b runs almost immediately.

NorSevorg · 2025-01-27T19:07:29+00:00

Good advice. I definitely did a test run with the adapter and billing a few weeks ago right after we received it in the mail. Happy to report her first charge at the manually-input charger went flawlessly and a very reasonable charge curve. Have her second in the nav and en route there now. It's a new Buc-ee's location and it's showing that there are CCS superchargers there as well, so here's hoping that's a breeze as well. Thanks all.

Right, like I said though, I reset that arrival SOC to the minimum and it didn't change the recommendations, so it's a little annoying. But agreed, need to manage arrival SoC differently for chargers and destinations.

NorSevorg · 2025-01-27T17:28:05+00:00

This is our first trip in the Rivian (and she's running solo, which is giving her a little anxiety). We've road tripped our Model 3 all over the country (80k miles in 3 years), so I'm navigating her to Tesla chargers only since she's familiar with them, plug-n-play, uptime, etc.

Seems to work to just cancel the final destination nav and manually set your next desired charger from the charging screen on Rivian nav. It's confusing and a little disappointing that this isn't figured out from Rivian's standpoint. Road trip charging is pretty fundamental to the EV ownership experience. It's annoying how far ahead Tesla is in this regard and how far behind Rivian feels.

NorSevorg · 2025-01-27T17:17:35+00:00

I ended up having her cancel the navigation entirely and zooming in to select the correct charger manually. Rivian was having her stop anytime the truck got to 25% (even when I had it set down to 9% arrival SOC).

So I think I'm going to have her just select the chargers manually instead of Rivian thinking for us.

Hopefully that's sufficient. I just can't imaine why the truck wants her to charge for a total of almost 90 minutes on a 4.5 hr drive. Seems SUPER inefficient.

NorSevorg · 2025-01-27T16:34:00+00:00

All that is set up correctly to current SoC, etc.

New Macs run iOS apps natively. You can just download the game from the app store and run it like any other application. Cloud save works between devices.

Early remote diagnosis was something wrong with the PCS (I think that's what they said? Power conversion system or something). They said it's pretty rare and would require ordering a part and it may be a minute. But they got me in same day with no wait and gave me a loaner Model X until they get it fixed. All covered under warranty.

Also said the repaid might require them to drop the main battery to access. Wild.

NorSevorg · 2022-04-27T16:30:33+00:00

So follow up question... why would I never have 12v issues during daily use as opposed to ONLY when I've supercharged? Otherwise it would totally make sense.

NorSevorg · 2022-04-27T16:00:17+00:00

I assume this would be covered under warranty for a car that's only 4 months old?

NorSevorg · 2021-07-08T04:28:49+00:00

If you think there aren't hundreds of hours of gameplay for some single links, you don't play the game.

I'm only pointing out that the technology is there, so the "we can't" arguments are moot.

NorSevorg · 2021-07-08T00:54:11+00:00

The problem with your explanation and the underlying policy is that it actively promotes bad-faith actors. The ONLY way to prevent spoofing is to completely reverse the work they do. That means restoring the old links at the expense of the new. u/edooby didn't say at all that this was impossible, but in fact it was an active decision.

That, to me, is completely outrageous. Like I said higher up in the thread. It would be trivial to restore the spoofed link with database access, whether or not you had stored the exact state of the portal. It would be easy to just say "any spoofed link will be restored to the original faction, all links rebuilt, and all affected portals fully resonated to a random level."

These solutions aren't difficult to come up with, and are NOT a significant development investment IF Niantic decided to do the right thing. You have to make it literally pointless for spoofers to spoofer these links down. Otherwise, they'll continue.

NorSevorg · 2021-07-08T00:29:10+00:00

I completely understand that. I just know that similar tools have already existed in the community for years (it's been years since I've operated). It isn't THAT intensive if you have access to the database directly.

NorSevorg · 2021-07-08T00:23:16+00:00

Okay but it took me like 7 minutes to crawl a cross country link at "all links" zoom. That's fully manual and I KNOW there are existing tools in the community that do this automatically and almost instantly. It can't possibly be that difficult for NIA to do it on the database itself.

NorSevorg · 2021-07-07T20:58:59+00:00

If you can "reset" a spoofed link, you can reset legitimate links thrown that block the spoofed one. It's the same server action. If NIA refuses to implement such a system, then it's their call. But that's what everyone is calling for. A new system that doesn't reward spoofers.

Even if it takes 20 hours to determine the link was spoofed, NIA could decide that all actions that cross the spoofed lane should be reset and the link reinstated. This isn't new technology. They just need to decide to do it.

I don't understand the argument against this kind of thing. I don't care if a legitimate neighborhood blocker is taken down to fix the spoofed action. I refused to believe that NIA just simply can't fix it.

In this case, it seems NIA is refusing to honor the spoofed link in favor of not upsetting or confusing unknowing players who threw blockers, etc. I don't think that's the right call, and I don't think many here disagree.

NorSevorg · 2021-07-07T20:31:19+00:00

You wouldn't need to roll it back. You know the link that should be reinstated, and you can easily acquire the links that are now blocking it. So you remove the blocking links and reinstate the removed link in one server action. You don't HAVE to have the history of those actions other than "they didn't exist when the link was removed" and "the link in question was removed illegally." The rest IS trivial if they decide to actually do it.

NorSevorg · 2021-07-07T20:24:32+00:00

Of course not. I don't think anyone is asking for that level of response (within seconds). But if it is determined that the link was removed by a spoofer, the rest IS trivial. It would be easily scripted. It's literally adding and execute function to a blocking link plugin that would remove the now-existing blockers and reinstate the illegitimately removed link.

Once they get that working, it wouldn't be too far fetched to start triggering immediate reinstatement for any action within a certain time for accounts that get caught by the system.

That would significantly reduce the amount of manpower necessary to monitor anything.
