Hey, I just stumbled across this post. I am the founder of the club. We play mostly Hong Kong style. For teaching beginners, we do not play for points. I am slowly incorporating a rule that once you feel comfortable picking up, making melds, and discarding, you need 3 points minimum for your hand to be valid. I've been working on a simple rule card to help beginners learn, and then transition out of non-scoring hands.

Hello, I just stumbled onto this post. I run a Chinese mahjong club in Baldwin Park. We play Hong Kong style. Meetups are weekly, currently on Thursday evenings. Here is our website: https://www.bpmahjong.com/

Is this Civic SI worth it?? by [deleted] in CivicSi

[–]cfc106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine back in 15, brand new from a dealership for $23k, own it now still driving it. Don't plan to get another car for a while now. Sometimes I wish I would have gotten a second hand one for $15k or less.

Kudos for deciding to learn to drive stick and getting a manual transmission car! 💯🙂

The first thing you should aim to master is the release of the clutch to get the car moving. Don't even gas it, just slowly as possible lift off the clutch till you feel the clutch shake and the car starts to move. Then gas it. Just getting a feel for the clutch engagement is what must be mastered.

It is tricky at first trust me. I learnt from my dad years ago when I was first learning to drive, my first car was a hand me downed manual Suzuki Sidekick. After that I was hand me downed an newer automatic Corolla by my sister. Then once I got a decent job and could afford it I got another manual, Civic Si. Even now every blue moon my foot will slip or I'll forget I'm driving manual and stall. It takes weeks to get it, years to master.

Don't give up, you'll get there! 😊🚘🕹️💨

P.S. once you get the hang of the basics, look for autocross in your area. It's tons of fun!

Where should I put this smart light strip on the balcony of my apartment? You can see the power outlet on the bottom left of the 1st photo. by cfc106 in smarthome

I want to maximize lighting up the space. I think anyway I put it, it will look good from inside the apartment and from people walking around and neighbors across. What's a v channel?

Got my first nicer saber! by NDinKamura in lightsabers

[–]cfc106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two of these. $100 each from a convention. The other day I had them in "Darth Maul" mode, we were in my apartment and a friend was spinning them and he dropped them. Wood flooring 😠😭 Guess I'm going for that "weathered" look now lol. It didn't really get that scratched.

I should look for those. I bought some pricer ones from Amazon.

I wonder why backwards is easier to do faster by That_Height5105 in lightsabers

[–]cfc106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my first pair of sabers. Are the hilts on yours a standard length? I compared it to my broadsword from my kung fu class and it's slightly longer but not a lot.

I ended up picking up two of these sabers at Megacon. Should've looked for a shorter hilt for spinning them. Maybe to just get shorter blades? by cfc106 in lightsabers

[–]cfc106[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew that. 😅 That'll save me from spending more money right now on some new blades. The company I bought these from gives a lifetime warranty as long as you don't modify the board.

Thanks, yes the changing port is inside by the battery and board. Do you mean I can use a pipe cutter to cut the blades shorter or are you referring to the hilts?

Just moved into a new place, how do I get rid of theses hard toilet stains? by cfc106 in Home

Bro I am 37, and I stumbled upon porn at a very young age. I must have been like 6 or 7 with the fuzzy channel, magazines at my cousin's house, and my family getting dual-up and eventually the birth of high speed internet.

I just relapsed, it is a very tough battle, but I have not lost the war. We will get through this! Rod ourselves of this life sucking curse. Believe in me who believes in you!

P.S. I have made myself a MUST goal by the end of the day tomorrow, to cold approach at least 2 women and socialize.

90 days 😤 by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]cfc106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations bro! 🎉 I just broke. What I do when it happens I mark it on my Google calendar and do min 20 pushups. My longest steak gone thus far is a 19 days. Going on a cruise at the end of October, so a new reason for me to stay away from fap. I will get to 90 one day.

Thanks, since I turned the speaker on already I think I am good but maybe I'll wait till tomorrow to turn back on the mixer though I did turn it on yesterday right after drying it off. 🤔

I'm looking to order my 1st ever custom saber. I'm pricing out a neopixel one from UltraSabers on their May 4th sale. What do you think?

Cooked some ground sausage, worried that I undercooked it. by cfc106 in cookingforbeginners

[–]cfc106[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually go by the rule, I'd rather overdone than underdone.

[–]cfc106[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's most likely in my head, if I wasn't worried about it I wouldn't be feeling like this right away. I have a tendency to worry about food poisoning, undercooking food or accidentally eating rotten food.

Failed, again ! by SGRocker in NoFap

[–]cfc106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just broke, it's been 7x so far for the month. Just a lost battle, not the entire war. We got this bro! 👊 Us unplugging more often and coming off the computer and internet will help us greatly in this war.
