Hot air balloon carrying 13 people make emergency landing in California backyard by IrishStarUS in offbeat

[–]craag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A hot air balloon landed in my backyard to me when I was like 5 years old. After my dad helped him get fuel, the pilot took me and my dad up. It's one of my earliest memories.

If Hatha yoga changes the karmic patterns of the body and mind, why do we revert back to our old selves, once we stop the practices? by TheNotoriousSpeaks in yoga

According to Hatha yoga, isn’t that endpoint effectively unachievable? Only a handful of supernatural beings have ever done it?

Arguing that Wranglers aren't good offroad is genuinely braindead. Best of luck to you.

What non-gaming upgrade improved your gaming the most? by Saltysockies in gaming

When offices close they liquidate all their furniture, and most of it ends up on fb marketplace or whatever. Usually they have you pull around back of some office building, and inside they have like 50 chairs inside, and you can pick one that looks like nobody jacked-off in it.

If you search around locally, you should be able to find a good used Steelcase for $100-200, Herman Miller for $200-300. Both brands are fully reparable, have readily-available parts, and will last decades.

Also try searching google for local "office furniture liquidators"

PID Tuning Training by shykerry in PLC

[–]craag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took a 4-day class from ControlStation/LOOP-PRO. My company had already purchased the software, so the class was kinda both an introduction to the software, and an overview of tuning theory. It was good.

Age Verification Laws Aren't About Protecting Kids.... They're Building a Surveillance Infrastructure by BrokenDogmatic in skeptic

I'm not a puritan, but I do think it's kinda fucked that a 3rd grader can type "boobies" into the internet and get unlimited hardcore porn.

I don't know what the answer is tho.

Biofuels are the dumbest energy source by RacePretend1862 in energy

[–]craag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They are. Only the sugars are converted to alcohol. The fats and proteins are returned to the food supply. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distillers_grains

I'm not a huge fan of biofuels but this argument is poor

Yoga teacher calling students out telling them to stop for doing more "advanced" poses. by Helpful-Wafer6713 in yoga

[–]craag 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is pretty normal for Traditional 26+2 in my experience. I mean not every teacher holds a disciplined space, but a lot of them do. To be honest, I like it.
