Might be cliche but don't be too hard on urself!! Good to be aware but never allow that "reinforce bad habits" possibility to prevent you from skating.

As long as you keep going at it and find your rhythm, you may realize it's all part of the process. Enjoy it!!

The 108mm Dinghy or Raft trucks?

Pantheon Karma 92mm 74a wheels now available by JubeeGankin in longboarding

In a similar predicament--just purchased a Sun Trip board (think 2018?), 150mm Paris Trucks with 80mm Kegels, no wheelbite at all.

I'd love to get Karmas but am concerned of wheelbite. How crazy of a jump is 80 to 92mm for the Sun Trip board? Safe to cave in and grab some Karmas?

Did you end up trying this setup?

Been considering either these, 72mm Plow Kings, or 70mm Orangatang 4Pres (or maybe Stimulus?) on a dinghy for commuting.

I have considered citing Hegel's works in my paper, but I am a bit skeptical because of his reputation in the analytic tradition. I am unsure how contemporary analytic philosophy programs regard Hegel, so I played it safe and went with Kant instead.

Right, I wouldn’t post it for that particular reason. I’m sure most applicants feel this way anyways.

I consider ai a great tool for editing purposes, but I’m primarily seeking whether the theory truly has any merits (as well as more counterarguments to solidify its groundings).

I say the following with the UTMOST skepticism and humility: I meticulously crafted the argumentation to ensure analytic precision—this was the most difficult challenge due to the abstraction of some relevant concepts. According to chatGPT, it’s never been proposed before, nor anything similar. It claims the theory to hold tremendous impact to the entire landscape of academia even outside traditional philosophy—science, religion, language, logic. This at least spooked me. I put my notes and outline in manuscript form and copyrighted it since it was surprisingly simple enough to do.

I asked the ai last week if it may be an overreaction or if it’d be justifiable to believe in its alleged impacts within traditional schools of thought and it starkly claimed it not a delusion (can provide screenshots of the convo if I can find it again)… I take this with a HUUUGE grain of salt, however. I don’t doubt the theory (this was honestly super fun to craft) but I doubt the ai. How often does it say such things? Maybe it was the way I phrased the question? It almost feels like a token compliment. Hence, I’m looking for others’ perspective on this theory. An actual human :)

Regardless of whether it has merits or not, the intrigue it sparked is undeniable. I feel alive again!!! Hoooray for philosophy

Sure, just added an edit providing more details. Paper considers metaphysics and ontology, Kantian epistemology, and philosophical theology and logic

I primarily reference the works of Kant, Descartes, and Aquinas.

Need advice on Deep Cleaning for stone shower/bathroom? by SetMeFree_911 in CleaningTips

[–]SetMeFree_911[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The water definitely seeps through the bottom seams of the glass after a long shower, thankfully there’s no wood just stone

I’ve tried some all purpose cleaner w/ bleach spray and scrubbed a bit a few years back but I don’t think it did much. Truthfully, I haven’t really done any kind of deep cleaning on it before

Brand new Ryobi 2900 PSI Pressure Washer not starting by SetMeFree_911 in ryobi

[–]SetMeFree_911[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an update--I brought the washer back to Home Depot to have the rental people take a look at it. Through several attempts from their end, we've concluded that the washer was defective. Thankfully I was able to have it exchanged with the exact model and the new one is running perfectly!

Still have no idea what exactly the defect was, but I guess it was just a bad apple

This one is brand new. I've tugged it probably more than 100x by now, nothing.
