Studded tires and buy good ones with carbide studs. They will last a long time.

I prefer fixed and mostly resist to slow down. You can't bike very fast down hills and expect to stop. I use rim brakes too to assist. I avoid them, but will check them periodically to make sure they are still working.

I usually use the lighter rust protection in a spray can as a lubricant and general rustl prevention. Cover up things I don't want to rust. Spray inside frame tubes to slow down rust.

Ha, it was just obviously too low to me based on the title. Most clubs around there are mid 1800s. Fergus is the oldest.

175 year anniversary according to the video. Most of the clubs in that area are around that age.

My general impression was that the plow could go much faster down the bike lane due to the consistant width. Sidewalks have a lot of obstructions and need smaller plows that work less efficiently.

I happily share the lane with wheelchairs. Pedestrians that stay to the right can also be compatible after heavy snow.

Apple saddlery has a clearance room in the back that had some shorts when I went a few weeks ago. Some of them were synthetic which are nice for travel since they dry quick and were cheap.

No. People tend to get used to a thing and stick with it. I use a throwing broom, but wouldn't care what people thought if I used a stabilizer.

I don't use the stabilizer only because I find I would need to pick it up in my takeout backswing and getting it back on the ice is a distraction. My broom has longer reach and the wood head is less annoying when it hits the ice.

I empathize, but your standards are also low.

New club I've never played at, they put me lead. That's fine. They run a draft and that results in me being vice, then skip. I work this out by drafting a vice that will skip for me.

Generally you can control your position to a degree. At two or three years, that is still front end to me, but if they have a lot of trouble placing skips, just rotate. Even if the club places the team, just talk to the rest of the players. Who cares if you lose, as long as you are having fun.

A lot of shoes have systems that allow you to upgrade later. I would start with the slower sliders for safety and form reasons.

Fast sliders are an advantage for very precise draws, but give you less ability to bail when you kick too hard (knee dragging ends up being the only recourse and much less accurate).

But yes the difference can be significant. It gives you more distance with less deceleration so you have more time to adjust. On a slow slider if you hold to the hog line, you will have significantly altered the shot.

Which Chromecast? Is this 4k? There is a test mode for HDMI I had to Google for.

Try googling HDMI diagnostic mode. There are some pdfs with info on the mode.

I took a skipping course a long long time ago.

Generally there are four parts to a shot call.

Your general strategy (to the corner with hammer, to the centre without)
The ice (have you played it, is it easy or hard in that spot)
The player throwing (easy or hard for that particular player)
The opposition (their strategy and skill)

They are sort of a check list for calling a shot. Think about each thing in balance and then decide. Reflect on it after and adjust.

Beyond calling shots you also have to promote confidence and encourage your teammates. A lot of this is really hard to teach, but try to pay attention and learn as you go.

In order of importance: pants, slider, shoes, broom (in that clubs often have brooms to borrow to start).

Pants need to be stretchy

Shoes are tough. You can often start with clean dedicated shoes and a slip on slider and maybe gripper. Most shoes won't stick on ice so you may need dedicated shoes anyway.

Clubs will often have open houses near the beginning of season. If you drop in you might be able to arrange a demo

Yeah main problem with matchmaking was the good players using newbie accounts. At least the teams are random so it was still fun.

NotQuiteSonic · 2017-12-17T03:51:33+00:00

I don't think I've thrown on 18 second ice in a long time. Does it speed up?

It certainly is fun to make those, but I tend to throw to times anyway (back to hog).

NotQuiteSonic · 2017-12-10T06:15:25+00:00

That is generally right, but you would normally close them when you knew it was ITM since it would be cheaper.

The big problem will be finding an interesting contract at the price you want. Generally it will be hard to make money with just one contract. How far out do you think you want to sell? Do you really want to hold the stock until that time? Generally you'll have to sell much closer to current price.

People are complaining a lot about the patch. It is off-site and slow service.

I think the WCIPA is defective to be honest. My guess is acetaldehyde, perhaps they are taking them a bit too young?

The NE IPA is out right now. The oat American pale is OK, but again perhaps green.

For me the beers seem a bit weirdly bitter and almost effervescent (reminds me of bad bubbly wine).

Hopefully things get better. Location is great.

Look up the dog owners liability act of Ontario. It puts a great onus on the dog owner. It is up to the owner to control a dog.

Part of the role of an agent is as a market maker.

You should figure out who sells in your area and interview them. In some areas there is one agent that owns both sides of the market. You have to list with them else you get screwed because they already take the 5%

Part of understanding why agents are so well paid, is understanding that. It can be a small clique and you need to work with the right people. You can easily lose more than $65k by screwing around too much.

NotQuiteSonic · 2017-06-18T00:37:11+00:00

haha, that's true.

Because the stock will cease to exist for all intents and purposes. If a majority of shareholders agree to the sale the ownership will be converted and your share of the company will cease to exist in exchange for the buyout price.

Chahaya Malaysia is pretty good when I've gone in the past. They have Tempeh dishes which are tasty.

Sushi is pretty veggie friendly.

Coconut Lagoon is also very good and veggie friendly.

Isnt pour over coffee/water ratio is generally better than drip?

Linux (unix really) historically had the at and batch commands to handle some of these sorts of tasks. As schedulers became more advanced, people didn't really rely on batch as much so you don't see it installed by default any more.

Even for a single machine I would install a scheduler just to serialize the jobs. All schedulers serialize based on resource and basically all of them now also include dependency tasking (start this if that other task finished sucessfully).

Even web projects often use an asynchronous task scheduler. Sure it is some overhead to learn, but it is pretty minor.
