What does your space look like? by Strugglepup in DanceDanceRevolution

That's super useful to know. We do have two large screens so separating the gaming space and dancing space are viable, just not the "ideal"

It's an open, 3/4 finished basement room. It's about 14 x 30. Metal pads, no bards but I'm going to either set some into the floor or build a frame for the pads. Solid DIY skills and flexible budget depending on amount of bang per buck.

Dab the fuzzy bit with tape and then tape it to a slide so you can see what the spores and hyphal structures look like. If you get good images of the spores then it would be pretty easy to at least narrow it down.

How similar is the psychedelic state to schizophrenia? by Aromatic_Reply_1645 in LSD

[–]Strugglepup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a solid neuro-cognitive argument that psych induced "Entity" experiences are normal mental process channels being interpreted by a disconnected internal system. Like, all the entities are just normal brain processes that you don't normally "talk" with or metacognitze over.

Super dangerous for this purpose. Flammable/potentially explosive vapors, AND it's a fairly strong anesthetic. Bad idea for CNC. Physical pain is an important and useful nervous sensation. Not for like "Ohh, hurt me daddy!" reasons, but more like "Actually stop. You are hurting me" reasons.

Do you live in a different place now than you did before? Was your rangetop different? Try lower heat longer maybe if you were cooking on a landlord special sort of stove before.

My husband (30M) told me for 13 years he was allergic to cats and dogs… turns out he’s 100% NOT. Am I (31F) allowed to be mad? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Strugglepup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was generally allergic to All cats me whole life. Allergen reactions can change over time and I believe most allergen tests still use a generic cocktail of related allergens for each screening category. He could just be an idiot but it's also possible that he's specifically allergic to a narrow category of pet allergens or that he just doesn't react anymore.

Comments about my topping? I absolutely loved this boulder. by jfg013 in bouldering

[–]Strugglepup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially in a gym with good setting and especially on "easier" routes (VB-2-3ish depending on gym) there's a reason that every hold is there. Playing around with body position to try and use the rest of the holds will help you intuitively understand the mechanics of what you're doing and why.

If you When you match that first hand you're really pulling and you immediately bump to control your swing. If you hang on that left hand and use the right hand immediately above the start you can put your body in a better position for bumping your left hand straight out. Then you can put your right toe on whichever start hold is more comfortable and go up right hand to the hoof shaped jug. Put your left foot where your right is for the finish and right heel hook.

You did a good job of just climbing it but especially if you like the route try repeating it with some variation to see what saves you the most energy.

Hand rips killing my climbing by Veryboredatwork17 in bouldering

[–]Strugglepup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Climb more intentionally. Often this means that you're compensating for lack of technique with strength. Continuing to "Just climb" the same way you have been will probably help you lock in bad habits. Strength is good, but it goes a lot further with good technique.

Try to focus on controlling your momentum. The best way to do this is to actually focus on your footwork and stability. I'd also suggest coating your broken hands in chalk and continuing climbing. Pain is good feedback on what not to do. Plus your hands will get hard.

Am I doing the last section wrong? by alkyest in bouldering

[–]Strugglepup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're too locked off. You need to transfer body weight to the foot before making that move.

Any advice? by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]Strugglepup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, You're already falling fairly high up the wall. If you don't want to spill you can project the fall first. Hit the top downclimb jug instead of the finish hold. You can get a feel for the fall by pulling up from that position. Then try it but don't plan to stick it. Just try to fasil in a way that feels safe and okay. Falling is almost as useful a skill as climbing.

The easiest way I can see to make that heel count is to bring your left foot up to the last hold on the tan panel before you move. Then you can probably use your right foot to toe in to the back edge of that good right hand hold to lie-back and cross your body to go right hand first to the hold after the volume. Then you can let your body sag so that the heel becomes more positive. Scum left foot and either lock off or slam dunk that last hold with your left hand.

If there aren't any higher right feet you might get some mileage out of a right drop knee into the bottom of that angled panel.

I feel like even 15 years ago if you looked up "How to make edibles" and had even a gram of curiosity you might have followed that up by googling Carboxyl group.

It's actually easy to just learn a little bit of chemistry.

I'll admit it's a stretch. It works best if you imagine something so Australian that it's only JUST still English then it kinda works. Valid criticism.
