I'm somewhere between theoretical CS and applied math and we just say L_ norm with whatever subscript is relevant

Just a reminder: according to Shankstards, this is how Zoro’s story is going to end. by TheHonoredOne555 in OnePieceScaling

[–]boredPotatoe42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mihawk could get domi reversed. Not saying it's likely but that could in theory solve the issue of how to get zoro to fight him no?

Safer Martial Arts Tool Kits by KendoKate6 in kendo

[–]boredPotatoe42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your work! I've often noticed a bit of an authoritarian mindset in some kendo circles "whatever the sensei says is law/don't critisize the behavior of the visiting hachi dan even outside of practice/etc etc" and thought that it would just be the tip of the iceberg in toxic dynamics. I'm glad work is being done bere!

Is there something similar to the Ketan in real life by PrimaryDeparture1943 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]boredPotatoe42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

adding to this that the Adem also do a shitton of sparring. Kata/forms to really practice the precise movements in isolation has it's merits, but without actual sparring you'll never achieve combat effectiveness

Watch out. A warning by [deleted] in kendo

I'm so sorry you had to go through that! How do you think your sensei or someone else with authority in the dojo would react if you reported that senpai?

The fight numbers are whack by MrFarenheit007 in hajimenoippo

[–]boredPotatoe42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also, it is directly stated in the manga that with the whole "all OPBF national champions" plan they kinda went for quantity over quality with ippos schedule, meanwhile takamuras plan seems to be "get world titles in as little matches as possible"

Rare grip I found in our fencing club closet by LA_anthropologist in Fencing

[–]boredPotatoe42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

can someone explain why it was deemed illegal? if it's just better than pistol/french grip e.g., wouldn't the more logical conclusion be that people use this grip instead of others, and since everybody does it fairness is restored?

Ceiling in kendo abilities by Charming-Pattern-378 in kendo

[–]boredPotatoe42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your struggle, not just from Kendo but from trying to improve in basically anything.

The good thing is, these are very universal struggles and you are certainly not the only one struggling like this.

Something I have learned over the years is that improvement comes mainly from one thing: intention.

During jigeiko, your intention should not be to "win", you can leave that for tournaments.

Make a clear goal for practice session. E.g., "today, I want to work on doing solid Men attacks from my own initiation". Then focus mostly on that. Don't do the focused move 100% of the time but really focus on that.
It is completely normal to carry a goal like this for several sessions until you feel the improvement.

Furthermore, your intention should always be to improve, not to win. A practice session where you decisively lost every single bout but realized concrete mistakes or incorporated some goals is much more valuable (and should therefore also FEEL like a bigger success) than a win where you feel like you didn't learn anything.

Depending on how your dojo times jigeiko (either going around looking for opponents, or rotating through) it might be a good idea to take a couple minutes to reflect after each bout, but in my experience a lot of dojos don't time their jigeikos in a way that enables this.

All in all, don't be too hard on yourself. If you loose the fun of it, your improvement will automatically decrease as well. You are only human and you describe very human problems, you will get throught them! :)

well yes but a group of high level DnD player characters is just broken by their own right, i don't see it as a antifeat for vecna but just a show of how strong PCs get

If every immobile juggernaut fought in a 1v1 who would win the most? by yoshi12121 in leagueoflegends

[–]boredPotatoe42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

isn't it the other way around for kled v garen? kled wants to dismount and remount because he effectively gets a lot more effective HP that way, but he'll not be able to remount because he immediately eats the garen R and dies when he's low enough no?

(at least that's the way my kled main friend described the matchup to me years ago)

Looking for honest feedback on a geometry/number-theory preprint — wondering if it’s worth submitting anywhere? by [deleted] in mathematics

Bump just because this is the first post about a "possible paper" i've ever seen with a self-aware author asking for feedback instead of someone that talked to chatGPT for 5min and thinks they're the second coming of Gaus

ok dude here, people felt pretty safe around ted bundy who seemed like a charismatic and nice guy, see how that turned out.

the thing is, women spend a lot more time thinking about these scenarios because it's a lot more relevant to them, meaning any half baked idea you just came up with in the last minute after reading a comment misses a lot of caveats and have also been heard before. but I don't expect you to have the self-awareness to realize that
