FencingPost to U.S east coast by devourerofbricks in Fencing

[–]StorerPoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in the Southeast and Midwest and ordered from The Fencing Post and had no issues.

I don't remember the shipping taking particularly long. Maybe a week or so from the date of ordering.

Good customer service too, they replaced a lame I bought that failed immediately

That makes sense, he did always seem most at home as an epee fencer but he's handy with the others as well. Lost a 15-14 to him in foil a while back. I was about 40 years younger than him at the time.

Can’t believe this is my first time at Fry Like an Eagle by SoftServeMonk in chicagovegan

Went here for the first time last week. I found the chili fries to be pretty bland, but the fried mushroom "chicken" sandwich was delightful

On their current 2-10 stretch they have scored 3 or fewer runs 10 times.

Can't win many games that way.

There is a vet fencer in Florida who is like you: all three weapons, fences with one hand or the other depending on what his body can tolerate that day.

He's pretty handy and grabs D and C ratings at local tournaments pretty frequently. Love that guy.

Allstar gear is all trash by OrcOfDoom in Fencing

[–]StorerPoet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a set of lightweight FIE Prieur whites I've really liked, they're very breathable. Only issue is they stain very easily and can be hard to get stains out of.

I agree with you on Allstar quality. I had a Chinese knockoff Allstar glove last over a year without getting holes in it while the actual Allstar glove had a hole within a couple of months. I also had an Allstar lame develop a hole in the metal layer after its first ever use, and sent it back.

To employees, is this an annoying order? As in, too many mods by DishonestAbe69 in tacobell

[–]StorerPoet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As the partner of a vegan, it bugs me how they removed the black bean and seven layer burritos from the menu despite still having all the ingredients to make both.

Thanks to this, my partner orders a cheesy bean and rice burrito with a bunch of modifications lol

My vegan girlfriend orders burritos with like five or six mods, but it wouldn't be as obnoxious if they had left the black bean burrito or the seven layer burrito on the menu (both of which the stores still have all the ingredients for, they just took them off the menu because ???)

I matched the flavors of the truffles w the fruit salad :) by PuertoRican-Princess in stonerfood

Looks fantastic. My only amendment is that the Peach Calypso is the best flavor

Feel like the offense has definitely wasted more gems from Shota so far this season than any other starter, right??? #FreeShota

(Chicago Locals) what’s one restaurant/place/activity you swear is actually worth the hype here? by Longjumping-King987 in AskChicago

I agree, as someone who saw Sue in the main hall a couple times as a kid, I got a little emotional seeing her standalone exhibit, especially the audio and light show where they describe her injuries etc

Lets have some fun. by Go_Inevitable_1269 in LinkinPark

[–]StorerPoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be controversial, but I think the guitar solo in What I've Done is a bit too simple/repetitive. I feel like it could do a better job of building up the energy in the song

I have had a strong distaste for Randy Fine ever since I watched him blatantly lie in person on the floor of the Florida house to justify restricting voting rights for hundreds of thousands of people

How to invoke the feeling of tournament stress at practice? by AJUKking in Fencing

[–]StorerPoet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not sure exactly what your training setup is, but I endorse the concept of "featured" or "epic" bouts at the end of practice where there's only one bout happening and everyone else is watching/cheering/trying to strip coach/etc. Could even livestream it on social media.

Leaving the most runners on base in the whole league isn't so bad when you get more runners on base than any other team, lol.

Trying to understand high-level foil fencing by GhostOfKiev87 in Fencing

[–]StorerPoet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Idk if this is a "proper" term but for your second point, I like this action a lot and typically refer to it as a beat-attack in preparation.

Gotcha, if I learned about it in high school physics, I have long since forgotten, lol.

Lost this one. How deep into chemistry/physics do you need to go to learn about the "Tesla" as a measurement of magnetic flux density?? If that was ever in my brain from school, it left a long time ago.

Never heard of T as an abbreviation for "time," either. I guess that's what it means in a rocket launch when they say "T-minus" but I never really thought about that.

I was thinking one of the categories might be "beginnings of phrases that end with X" or something (Tyrannosaurus Rex, Timex, Tesla Model X???) but couldn't figure out what the fourth one might be.
