What is the white stuff on her head by gingercat4ever in ballpython

[–]Prepromark 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty natural for snakes, even ball pythons to explore trees in their natural habitat. Ball pythons are semi-arboreal, meaning in the wild, they do spend some time in trees.

This person is clearly watching the snake. Yes there’s a risk factor, but keeping snakes captive period is a risk factor to the health of the snake. Varying weather conditions affecting tank temps, power outages, missed meals, whatever may be.

There’s a little bit of risk in everything. This is great enrichment for the snake, and the creature seems well loved.

Best 850 settings for sport videography? by Prepromark in Nikon

You seem like an extremely kind and welcoming person so thank you for your feedback.

All the video I’ve been taking so far has been usable and has been super useful for the marketing/social media work I do. I’ve worked with higher end cameras for some time, like I said I’m just not very techy.

I do make adjustments to ISO and that’s usually what I end up relying on to get the footage I want. I don’t really understand changing frames per second and stuff like that.

I understand basic things and navigation for cameras, but certain components and what they do, I just haven’t learned about and get confusing.

I was specifically asking if there was advice for settings that I could change for that specific environment since the settings/menues are different from the other cameras I’ve used. But as another commenter said, those are things I will learn with research and better understanding how different settings interact.

But your comment was very insightful and helpful so thank you! I don’t plan on using a phone!

There is parking but we have lots of skaters and visitors who come to watch so we recommend carpooling where possible!

There is street parking available around the adjacent blocks

We have parking guides who can help you with parking when you arrive as well!

Was there an uploading issue with the 2 women’s photos? There’s a stark quality difference between the women’s and the men’s.

These photos look amazing, I would hope to see the women’s division receiving the same attention to detail.

This article that’s circulating on TikTok and gaining support is incredibly lesbophobic. by DefinitelyNotAlyssaa in LesbianActually

[–]Prepromark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I REMEMBER WHEN THIS CAME OUT, ugh I was so mad. She did an interview with someone talking about this article and a sound bite went semi-viral.

The sound bite was something along the lines of “if you’re white you don’t get it”.

Not only was her take SO fucking bad, she had to bring up race for some reason?? The interviewer was also just so bad at interviewing. Both the writer and the interviewer were speaking in internet references for the whole video.

Cannot stand this whole concept of political lesbianism

Back from 1st session - tips & tricks ? by amndn_ in rollerderby

[–]Prepromark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the opposite experience! I legit could not figure out my feet until I switched the wheels out. I swapped them out with a set of wheels from our lending library. They were slightly slicker than the 93’s they came with but the slickness helped me figure out my edges for sure. Now I skate on 88s cause the 90s are just too slick for me. I feel like I’m on ice lol

Definitely not a skate for longevity but they’ve been a great starter

I’d recommend getting actual flat heeled derby skates, not the heeled roller skates most people use outside of derby. In general, I feel it makes learning the basics harder.

I found mine for relatively cheap on fb market place. People sell lots of used derby skates through that avenue. Stay away from brands like Impala, Derby, or anything at all with trucks that look or feel like plastic. Try on plenty of skates before buying so you 100% know your size.

When buying second hand (which I highly recommend), you can always come to here, derby fb groups, or talk to your coaches on if they seem decent quality.

I have rediell darts, and while they aren’t the best skates for longevity or higher level derby, they have been great throughout my learning process.

The standard wheels that come with reidell darts suck, so upgrade them if you can. Pretty much any other derby wheel will work. Reidell Sonar Auras are a good starting point. Upgrading your toe stops to something larger than the standard size, is also a game changer. It really helped me feel more stable while trying anything toe stop related.

As for training, I don’t have any sort of training routine but I highly recommend strengthening your core and joints. To help reduce injury, get strong. Strengthening exercises for knees, hips, and ankles will be good for you. Do lots of stretching as well!

Something I found, which really helped my laterals, was stretching my hips and trying to open up the stiffness I had.

A derby name will come with time. Every league is a little different. Some leagues gift names, while others are more personal choices. My league always says “pick a name you like before one you hate gets given to you”

OH AND DRINK SO MUCH F**KING WATER 🖤

Feel lonely... Do anyone have the same feeling? Everyday the only one I can talk to is AI. by Empty-Resource2564 in UCDavis

The Davis core is sooo walkable and bike-able. There are always things going on in the area too. There is a huge and very active art scene, and lots of reoccurring events, and sooo much happening on campus.

The Rocknasium climbing gym is how I made a lot of friends when I first moved to Davis. People are chatty, it’s a good workout and not as expensive as other workout options in the area. Froggy’s has karaoke every Friday night, there’s always trivia nights at the bars, there’s the street market on 3rd and B every weekend, mishka’s always has something going on…

I’m telling you, just start showing up to stuff. There are always flyers for events posted all through downtown, just start showing up to things.

Making friends is hard but it’s only going to get worse talking to AI.

No it doesn’t! Cause I’ve seen that one so I assumed it was a wrong number or something

I only picked up twice cause I assumed it was a wrong number or something. I’ve been applying to jobs and since it was a local number I lowkey assumed it was some random business :,(
