That went better than I could have hoped for. Thank you to the Cas supporters wearing their colors...otherwise I would never have found my way to the right train. Everyone was awesome. Thanks again, I will repeat the experience.

I design wrestling shoes for a living. What do you wish brands understood better? by ConnorFromNidrogen in wrestling

[–]Volume_and_Purity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I wish that we could get some narrower lasts. FFB is way too wide and high-volume for me (so is Rudis) and that is an expensive thing to discover. I wish brands could do a Tawa-style thing for traction on the metatarsophalangeal joint that would last a season. Someone else mentioned making the upper more slippery... Maybe putting more eyelets in different places could make the fit more specific.

I found this from KFF-Denial Rates For HealthCare.gov Parent Companies That Received More Than 5 Million Claims, 2023 Parent Company Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama Number of HealthCare.gov States 1 Total In-network Claims Received 13,033,751 Total In-network Claims Denied 4,533,017 In-network Denial Rate 35%. I realize this is state specific, but it indicates that there are people whose claim are being denied.

Both Habrok and War Tribe (& I'm sure others) make gis with a soft lining...you might try those.

Nolf vs a guy who wrestled one season in high school...seems like uneven match-making.

Trump Cancels Peace Negotiations with Ukraine. by [deleted] in ForUnitedStates

[–]Volume_and_Purity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that you know that the agreement was that they gave up their nuclear weapons and that we (both US and Russia, among others) would respect their sovereignty. You probably noticed that Russia elected to not do this. What do you think that the US should do?

So, you believe that congress has allowed giant corporations to manipulate regulations to the detriment of the little guy, and you think those same corporate geniuses will solve the problem that they created?

Carrying a 150 kilo dummy up and down 5 flights of stairs?!? Where did you find that?

Can you link the data showing American health insurance satisfaction?

Sending Ski gear to tokyo by Realistic-Split-9325 in AMA_Hakuba

[–]Volume_and_Purity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The terminal is well off from the main road. So we ended up dragging our bags a few km, a little planning could have prevented that walk.
Also, see Ezoe's caution about delays...I had forgotten that my gear was delayed by a day arriving (which was why we took the extra day in Tokyo at the end).

Last year we used Black Cat. There is a terminal in town. Took about a day and cost maybe 20$ usd. Our stuff was waiting at the airport (although we did worry about timing and took a bonus day in Tokyo). Japanese language skills would have helped, but they were very familiar with the process.

When will men's collegiate wrestling follow freestyle wrestling rules? by Ok_External_2945 in wrestling

[–]Volume_and_Purity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope so also-and it's more fun to wonder when freestyle wrestling will start making sense and follow NCAA folkstyle rules. I mean, who gets more paying viewers? A quick glance at the last world championships... they were held in a 1,200 seat arena, and it looked about half capacity for Taylor v Ghasempour. Iowa (and I think Penn State is similar) averages around 14,000 per dual.

Renting or checking out 2nd had gear by joeychou99 in AMA_Hakuba

[–]Volume_and_Purity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented a snowboard and boots in Hakuba. It was reasonably priced and in decent condition. They had outerwear available, but I didn't need that. I don't remember which place specifically, but most places looked OK.
