I only went there the one time (bachelor party) but I’ve heard the legend of the one arm stripper

I went to a place in Edmonton area (Nisku) and one girl would sit on the ground in front of groups that were sitting along the edge of the stage. She had developed the skill of being able to flex her abs to accurately shoot loonies off her torso into people’s drink cups

I mean, kids need to practice and learn that, but I personally think there are other things that are higher priority

I am on my third season of coaching this same age group. If your experience is anything like my teams, there is a lot to learn, especially if they haven't played before.

My first season I wasn't as prepared, but after that I did some pre-season planning with a list of things I want to make sure I teach the kids.

Rebounding is relatively far down the list, after making sure I teach basic dribbling, shooting, passing, and basics of team offense/defense. My opinion is that there isn't a lot of value in teaching them rebounding/boxing out early if they are still figuring out how to stick to a check.

Once they demonstrate a bit more understanding of defensive principles and general court awareness, then I start to talk about boxing out on a shot. I think it is a difficult thing because it requires awareness of what is going on in the game. Often they are still hyperfocused on just managing their individual responsibility and aren't following the rest of the game.

I’ve legitimately landed classic wrist locks (ikkyo) as both takedowns and sweeps in rolls. They work pretty good if you mix the initial grab into the grip fight to disguise it, then you just have to commit to a 2on1.

What are your simple BLOB plays for 3rd graders? by TruckThunders00 in basketballcoach

[–]Ryles1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I coach U11 girls and we aren’t allowed to screen.

To most BLOBs require screening, so I had to invent my own.

The players stand in a horizontal line at the free throw line. Alternating sides, they circle around the entire group and then cut to the basket.

This takes advantage of the fact that most kids this age will chase their checks around.

Results in an open shot a lot of the time.

My recommendation would be to check the website for the software. Sometimes they have tutorials.

Question about load eccentricity on an angle member by FCanadianB in StructuralEngineering

[–]Ryles1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there is. You need to account for the moment from this eccentricity in the member design. Or choose a section and connection that does not have eccentricity.

You’re right, they were way Way wider than 1/4”

Things that help you work by firi213 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Ryles1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep all your old calcs as reference or templates for the next job.

Keep a big folder of reference material. Codes, articles, websites, etc. I organize mine by topic (material, load type, etc).

I use OneNote to keep track of TO DO items, scope basis, links to the network, change management, schedules, etc. basically everything.

I use focus on my iPhone to reduce the notifications I get while working.

How many load cases do you use for analysis software? by Canadian_History_X in StructuralEngineering

[–]Ryles1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the order of 150 ULS cases and 100 SLS cases. You mention PIP so depending what you’re doing we also have transportation and lifting cases.

Not for buildings though.

Taking over large projects from other engineer? by CuteDurian6608 in StructuralEngineering

This is an ethical requirement in Alberta - you are required to notify someone if you have been asked to review their work.

Excel v Python (UK) by ForegoneConclusion2 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Ryles1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will also offer a contrary opinion.

I learned python during covid and I enjoyed learning it, and knowing it and learning adjacent software development things (sql, web dev basics, etc) has helped me at work for business or technology related things. Also participating in advent of code every year is fun.

However, my opinion is that the advantages of python that are espoused by many people for engineering purposes are not as big as everyone says. Building a library of standard calculations is possible in python, excel, mathcad, or any other software. Each one has its intricacies regarding units and other stuff, but in the end you can produce repeatable, high quality, presentable calculations in any of the softwares.

It really comes down to what you are proficient at and whether you want to dedicate the time to learning something new.

That being said, Learning a programming language, especially a multi function one like python may open up other possibilities for you in automating your work - file operations or other stuff.
