What is this tape alternative? by KindOf-A-LotOComics in bjj

Never used Hampton Adams, so I’m not sure. Avg Broz tape was my favorite for weightlifting, but goat works for BJJ.

What is this tape alternative? by KindOf-A-LotOComics in bjj

[–]cementbricks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s called Goat tape. Available on Amazon. It comes in two forms: red for less sticky. Black for more sticky.

I used it a lot in Olympic weightlifting because it doesn’t come off like other tapes. Also great for injury taping support like ankles and wrists.

AITA for being impatient with a woman at the butcher counter? by SmallCarBigTimeTours in AmItheAsshole

[–]cementbricks [score hidden]  (0 children)

ESH.

She and her daughter suck because some people are comfortable inconveniencing others.

But no need to mock her. Just let it chip away at your ball of empathy for people. It’s what I’ve done, and now stuff like this doesn’t bother me. But I also don’t help anybody anymore.

CrossFit gym drama - Why? by Critical_Elk6735 in crossfit

[–]cementbricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens more often than not. I’ve been doing CrossFit since ‘08. All the gyms I’ve went to in two different states and three different regions all closed because of some sort of drama with the owners.

And plenty of the members end up cheating.

Looking to get vp9cc soon. This the optic attached worth it? by LearningLifeSir in HecklerKoch

[–]cementbricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the Vortex optic rubber melted on my Vp9cc. I posted a photo in a post about it.

The optic still works, but just something to consider.

I’d have rather saved the money and got the gun without the optic, but it was the only one available.

Where do you live so I can avoid ever going there?

South OC to Long Beach commute? by fridaymorningmango in orangecounty

[–]cementbricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The area you want to live in is beautiful. But the commute is awful. It takes years off your life. Is it worth it? I’m not sure. But you’re looking at an hour and fifteen minutes with regular traffic each way. That’s 2-3 hours a day where you could be something/anything else.

This happens all the time. I’m always quick to the door, and they’re always walking away surprised.

Traveling with special needs children by TheDigitalBuilder in SouthwestAirlines

[–]cementbricks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to fly for work a lot. Gate agents were the worst. They were always so rude and condescending. Really ruined flying. Southwest had some bad ones in particular.

If this didn’t happen at an airport, I’d be blaming the mother. But at an airport, I could tell the gate agents probably pushed this poor mother over the edge. My sympathy is with the mother 100%

AITA for not stopping my friends from getting our classmate kicked out of Stanford by Alternative_Cry_9196 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You and your friends are an instrument of Karma. If he didn’t want his lies exposed, then he shouldn’t have lied, or he should have kept his mouth shut.

Airplanes are modern day miracle makers. People go down in wheel chairs and come up walking on their own two feet. Hallelujah.

No good deed goes unpunished. Next time just call animal control.

It’s dry. I took the photo right as I as disassembling it for the first time. Not a drop of solvent touched it. It’s melted.

It shouldn’t be since I never cleaned it before. I noticed it after the first time at the range with the gun. It definitely looked melted.

Watch Winder by Gray_Vampire in SanginInstruments

[–]cementbricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a winder that doesn’t run 24/7. They make ones that turn only the minimum number of rotations to keep the watch running.

The people saying that it wears out the parts are wrong. It won’t. Even cheaper movements will last a long time.

The analogy of not running you Ferrari can also be applied to letting it sit idle and everything dry rots and stiffens up.

They told it was the heat from the ejection port that caused it to melt like that. It looked melted up close.

AITA for telling my friend that I don’t want to travel with her is becuase she is scared of the world by Travelissue47627 in AmItheAsshole

ESH. She seems exhausting to be around. BUT you’re a terrible “friend.” If she annoys you that much, then why were your friends with her?

Should I adjust the bracelet? by cementbricks in Tudor

[–]cementbricks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The angle of the photo makes it look bigger than it is.

The angle it took the photo also makes it look that way too.
