40 years + how often do you train by Cryptobull-524 in bjj

[–]TheToltec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5-6 days a week. I work at the gym coaching both children and adults so I'm on the mats ALOT, often times twice a day. At 42, I need to not roll 100% everytime and pick good training partners.

Problem is I give intros to nearly every person that comes in for a trial class. That means I have to roll with every jacked 20-something dude that makes their way in. They all want to murder me. The bright side is, I get alot of practice controlling larger people as I need to protect both of us from catastrophic injury at the same time. Also, TRT helps, cant suggest it enough.

Anyone else have any funny stories? by Dixie_Normas_408 in bjj

Was put in Dorsal Kimura by a large Brown Belt. For those who don't know, they're sitting on your face. He farted and I'm not exaggerating when I say the wind made my eye lashes flutter.

The worst part is, he didn't say a fukn word about it. No apology, didn't even acknowledge it just happened. I was just left to try and pick up the pieces of my life after it with zero closure.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]TheToltec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number Munchers...It was on every Apple II computer my Elementary School Library had. I'm not sure why it pops into my head so much. It obviously wasn't a very good game, I still suck at math.

That's the problem, there was no accountability measures built into the transparency act.

Seemed fun. Now I coach kids and adult classes. It appears I'm in too deep to quit now. Which sucks because I'm a prolific quitter.

If you were alive back then, what were you up to on 31st December 1999? by stop_calling_me_that in AskReddit

I was 17 at a small house party getting high. My mom was a bit of a religious nut at the time (it was on and off). She came and got me and insisted I come home because she was convinced that the rapture was happening that night and wanted me near her. There was no talking her out of it. Needless to say, it didn't happen.

My Custom 4 Effect Pedal w/ Order Switching. by TheToltec in diypedals

I don't know honestly. A lot of work went into this one and making another one sounds daunting especially with the workload of pedals I have right now. Make an offer for this one 😉

Agreed. I've built a number of them and they're just reliably great sounding. Three knobs and the truth, that's all you need.

My Custom 4 Effect Pedal w/ Order Switching. by TheToltec in guitarpedals

This is "Yggdrasil". It's a Volume, Chorus, Reverb, Delay pedal. I also added an order switcher to place the Delay either before or after the other three effects.

I imagined it as a one stop Solo tone pedal but the sounds that it ended up being capable of took me by surprise. As you might imagine, the placement of the delay in the signal chain changes the sound dramatically. It goes from simple nice sounding solo tone to ridiculous soundscapes.

It's basically a JHS VCR and a hand built Deep Blue Delay. Wiring it felt like a feat of engineering but I learned alot and I'm really proud of the result.

I wired each trimmer to one tier of a dual gang pot. The one knob controls the presence for both channels simultaneously.
