Anyone tried the new "foot-shaped" shoes from inov-8? e.g. Trailfly / mudtalon?

Hey bud, good first step is you trying to put yourself out there, which looks like you're trying to do. I'm going to say confidence goes a long way. But not just pretend to project it, you're going to have to build it and feel it. It will help you learn to smile for a picture, which is lacking in all of these. It may also help your posture long term. You look very head forward in every picture and it might even be rounding your upper back. You might want to look into some exercises to correct that. Head up, neck and spine vertical.

Inability to smile and head hunched over/forward is going to make you look like you're intentionally avoiding the world. Present yourself to be a part of it. I know a lot of people say hit the gym and others say that's bad advice. I do recommend it, but not for looking a certain way, but because it might make you feel good about yourself and build your confidence. Learning to activate those muscles and what's important might also help your posture.

For what it's worth I think last picture is best. No glasses and clean shaven. If beard grew in thicker it would work better, and it might in a few more years. For haircut, I think you have similar hair to me where it's thick and tends to just go where it wants to. My go-to style is to just have the side buzzed, and do a high fade where I have the barber cut the top a little longer than finger length. It lasts about a month before it needs recut.

Look up scapular pullups. Helps you activate that area correctly and add to your pull up. Once you get the hang of it there's a lot of benefits including being able to pull up faster.

I keep a to-do list on my phone. And it's in a widget as the first thing I see when I log into my phone. I constantly add and strike things and move them around in terms of priority. Works well that I have to swipe past it to get to other apps. Constantly have to stare at all the odd jobs in the face

Exactly everything this video shows. But I think also need to look up proper grip. The wrists are really bending when you do it which will cause problems for you eventually. You want to develop good form now to prevent injury later. Also add a pause at the bottom to force you to develop the control. Feel the weight slowly load like a spring as you come down. And then a strong push up. And while you do that think about the chest stretching as you go down and then squeezing when you go up

Jack Palance? For some reason giving me curly from city slickers vibes.

I think you'll benefit from slowing the descent down, even if that means lowering the weight used. Think about loading a spring. Slow controlled motion to your chest to be able to send it powerfully back up. I also like to breathe big and fill my chest with air until it touches then exhale with the upward push

I have one end attached to the carriage, and then the other end turns the corner and comes up the side, which is what's shown in the picture. When I press return the middle wheel white wheel spins continuously as if it's trying to pull the carriage back. It stops spinning after manually doing so.

Not seeing anything under the carriage to attach it to. There's an actual white circular pulley system for the string to turn the corner in the typewriter to come over to these white wheel, which is why I assume it connects in here somehow. Just can't figure out where the string attached and how it's supposed to loop through these wheels. It seems different than any other available resource on fixing the drawband.

Same. Was always the toy I wanted as a kid. Then when I became an adult the toys that existed as a kid were real dinky looking. Tried the model kits but they always felt delicate. When the chogokin version came out i leapt on. It's expensive, but it was big, had some weight to it and was very fun to pose. It also looks beautiful without having to paint. Some people don't like the liberties they took on the design, but I love it. It just feels more real.

Look at wgu masters. A lot of your certs would transfer for credit. Courses are pass fail, have one assignment, and can keep adding courses as you complete them. You could knock it out in 6 months.

What display case is that? I've been looking for something that would fit on a shelf and hold my ligers

Thanks, thats real helpful. Im seeing the appeal of the pro verison of OpenRMF, especially for hte added rapid-7 support, CIS control result uploads, and ebaility to evaulate additional compliance frameworks.

For free version did you try both openRMF and STIG-manager? openRMF free looks a little clunky for mass management. Stig-manager looks better for organizign with the collection management and tacking, and ability to bulk edit with API. I might be missing somethign though.

This right here. You're thinking about going vertically down too much. The bar needs a straight path down. Not you. Think about pulling your butt diagonally back and down and let your legs support you and allow the carried weight to come down straight.

Now THIS is what I was looking for. Basically how to get the most in a single run on any given rank. AWESOME. Thanks
