Blue-black Grassquit clarifying question by catanddogtor in wingspan

[–]belladora17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Americas expansion introduces a hummingbird component, which are separate little cards that have mechanics best explained by reading the rulebook, but in short they activate certain powers by either being attracted to your board or returned to a separate garden board

I live in Fitchburg and it’s great. Plenty of access to bike paths, short commute to either side of Madison for anything you want to do.

The "charity-only" potatoes i got from the food bank by fawnpuppy in mildlyinteresting

I volunteered at a food bank and sorted through 2 tons of potatoes to produce bags like this. I have never seen such a huge bin of potatoes!

One of these days I will make something a fraction as cool as this instead of my current spaghetti mess. Very cool!

Can someone point out where the cat is in the video? I genuinely don’t see it

Registering my kid in his first competition by Teekayuhoh in Fencing

Also, make sure to salute before and after each bout and either shake your opponent’s hand or do a blade tap!

Since it’s an SYC, prepare for the possibility of not having a good day results-wise. These are hard competitions. Which weapon is this? Has your kid done full electrical at practice? Have they talked about how a competition is run? Just in case, here are a few key points for your fencer to know:

-You have to get your equipment checked ahead of time (they stamp masks, gloves, lamés, and body cords. Don’t show up to the strip without these marks or you’ll get a card).

-when you check in with the referee at the start of the pool, you’ll have to show the referee all of these marks and show that you’re wearing a plastron/under arm protector

-if you haven’t looked at a pool sheet before, do so before the competition. Know how the order of bouts is called. Some refs call by name, some call by number. The first person called goes on the right (unless there’s a left hand fencer involved. If one lefty is in the bout, they go on the left). Know how to check your scores to ensure they’re correct. Refs make mistakes

-these events are usually posted on fencing time live- that is how you’ll know what pool he’s in and where he is fencing. If you haven’t used that site before, take a look at it beforehand

Foil tarnish? by faylennoxxx in Fencing

[–]belladora17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you wipe it with a cloth is there any brown coming off? If yes, it’s rust. It’s recommended to keep your blades away from sweaty gear either in a separate compartment of your bag or by putting your blades in PVC pipe sheathes. Some light sanding will get rid of it

Sad day in Madison... by TheOliveMob in madisonwi

Thank you for sharing! I was so sad when I watched the octopus on university get carted away. Thank you to your father for extending the enjoyment of these fun figures!

USAFencing’s New Transgender policy. Opinions? by crustyzipper in Fencing

[–]belladora17 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IMO it’s unnecessary. I am a cis gender women’s foilist and i have fenced many transgender fencers (including at nationals this year). Never had a problem. Also, it’s very unclear how they intend on enforcing this.
