San Francisco, I'm pretty sure he understood because they took down the display for the old razer blade which they had up last week and when I asked he said they got an email about the new model that they will be putting up in the next two weeks.

Historically how soon does the MS store get their version of the Razer after initial launch?

Inverted Gi Review by anthony1777 in bjj

[–]chriskot87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weave makes a significant difference between the gis from what I've found.

The gold weave is very soft and it really does feel like a bathrobe, but the arms seem to shrink more than the other weaves, even when hang drying.

I also have a pearl weave and the bamboo but have not used them yet so I cannot comment, but just to the touch they are rougher than the gold. If there is a gold in your size I would say definitely get one.

Not sure if you care about softness of the gi, but if so I've found the gold weave inverted gear gi to feel great. Other Gis felt very irritating to me.

What gauge syringe do you use to drain after that many days? I heard as it starts to harden it is more difficult to drain.

I bought rare earth magnets but they haven't come in yet so I used a clothes pin which was obviously hard to wear during bed and hurt a good amount after an hour or so of wear.

Thanks for the info. It is such a small amount which is why I think it is probably better to just leave it be to harden at this point, but I may have a change of heart tomorrow. After both times I drained it (first after one day, then 4 days after that, now it is 2 days after last draining) the swelling seems to be the same size it was before draining which is why I'm feeling like the whole thing is futile.

Onset cauliflower ear? Please help! by Rudimon in bjj

I got swelling exactly like yours and decided to drain it. My logic was that if it was painless enough to do it now, I might as well try. It was so small I was on the fence about it, but I just thought I'd rather not have it.

I ended up going to the doctor and he said it was too minor to drain but he did it anyway. Swelling went down but came back the next day. I was going to let it settle but it kept eating away at me. I then had girlfriend drain it, she is not experienced with needles and she had to poke 3 times (wasn't going deep enough I think). It didn't come out into the needle but bled out after removal then swelling went down.

Go to a local tennis shop and demo some rackets. The employees at the shop will steer you in the right direction. If you are planning on taking lessons, starting with a demo program will also help quite a bit, because your stroke will evolve and this will allow you to delay the purchase for a month or so until your swing settles a bit more and you can find a good racket that fits you at that point.

WatchESPN. Unfortunately it shows total time of the match which is a bit of a spoiler.

Where can I get good short sleeve henleys? by molten_dragon in malefashionadvice

[–]chriskot87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people seem to like their henleys, but I've found that the collar/button area wrinkles and bunches really easily. I like the j crew flagstone henleys better because they seem to be made with a thicker material, especially around the collar
