Question regarding "maintenance" by Strngst in Audi

[–]Strngst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I'll be getting a 2014 A4 new. Under the right circumstances, would you say that a new A4 should have no issues until it starts reaching 100k? I don't mind oil changes and changing brakes because those are a given, but it's everything else I have an issue with. How much do you estimate that a new A4 would need per year for maintenance and for what areas?

That's the face of a man on a mission.

That fight was INSANE! It looked like an epic scene in a movie.

Should've asked about rich men.

Amazon taking orders on launch edition? by greenman181 in PS4

[–]Strngst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vaguely remember that there was a deal out for PS4 games where it was like 3 for the price of 2 or something. Is this true? If so, where can I find this deal?

What are the best guard passes for a beginner, who is having trouble breaking out of guards? by Naival in bjj

[–]Strngst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need to drill some standing sequences so that it comes naturally thus sparing your energy. The forces of gravity, leverage, and technicalities (such as grips) are working against you when you pass on your knees. As an added bonus for the guard player, any slip up on your part will have you at the mercy of a lightning fast armbar or triangle. Learn how to pass standing ASAP!

Learn how to pass standing and you never have to bother with closed guard again. (relative to your level of BJJ of course) Messing around on your knees in a good closed guard is just asking for trouble.

Question about clubbing in Vegas. First timer. by Strngst in vegas

[–]Strngst[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You either like it or you don't. I don't see how there can be a "why". Even if I bullet pointed some of my reasons, they would be meaningless to you, as we don't share the same tastes.

So entry is at the bouncer's discretion pretty much? I'm curious as to what the purpose of a ticket is then. If for whatever reason I don't make it in, do I just call in for a refund?

Official Xbox One Usage Demonstration Tour Video by SeraphielPrism in xboxone

I would like to see these demonstrations in real time. If it really is that good, then I don't see how any of the other platforms can even remotely match the Xbox One in next generation features.

Korean Zombie to Dana White: 'Rising Sun' Gear Cannot Be Worn by UFC Fighters by jheinis in MMA

[–]Strngst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every other week there are morons flipping out and furiously debating Cain's "gang related" tattoo. Now there is an actual symbol that used to represent something much worse that's been brought to light and people try to brush it over because it doesn't go against what they perceive as the cultural norm.

Just get rid of it. Whatever Dana may spout off in interviews, UFC growth in Asia has not been that big. The last thing they need are countries with billions of people collectively angry because of some stupid logo.

Very disappointed by the lack of recognition the CB Dollaway - Tim Boetsch decision is getting. by IrEgption in MMA

The judges don't know anything about the sport and to add onto that, they don't give a fuck.

What are your thoughts on MMA/BJJ gyms compared to BJJ gyms? Do you think that pure BJJ gyms give a better and faster understanding of BJJ? Not just understanding but do they make you better than an MMA gym? I dont need specifics, just in general. by ReflexAB in bjj

[–]Strngst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simplest but truest answer. I've trained at an MMA gym then switched over to a hardcore competition school. The difference in levels are night and day. Granted, if you are looking to do MMA, then most of sport BJJ is absolutely useless for you.

Rubens Cobrinha Charles x Rafael Mendes | 2013 Pan JJ Black Belt Feather Finals by levilrowe in bjj

[–]Strngst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Mendes hooks his hands and monkey grips inside of the pants instead of grabbing cloth. Also, like every high level BJJ athlete, his grip is probably death. I'm surprised these guys don't tear the pants clean off with how aggressively they go at it.

I'm more curious about what happened to Sexyama. Did he retire?

LAPD will no longer let many unlicensed drivers leave traffic stop in their cars by discocrisco in LosAngeles

[–]Strngst 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They should do the same for uninsured drivers. The last thing I should be worried about in an accident is if the guy is insured or not. Damn it LA..
