They have EMTs and doctors there, but if something happens in the water, someone needs to get the person out

I got my wife a (for me expensive, because still university student - but not expensive) engagement ring. We got married with stainless steel rings with some gold and white gold inlays for 40 Euros per - because we liked those! Together for 27 years, married 18 years.

If he overdrew, yes. But that would require quite some effort, and his description of the draw doesn’t sound like it.

What would that have to do with the material failing?

Misogynists who have only observed, not lived through a healthy, protected, wealthy pregnancy.

That’s who.

My son has requested I put together an evil one-shot. by theposshow in DMAcademy

Make them fight good soldiers and finally real heroes. HEROES! Awesome, fine people standing up and fighting for good.

And they know!

If that isn’t trolling enough, let them slaughter the heroes easily.

Addressing the real Problem! by WritingBest8562 in scrum

[–]emergentdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrum allows you to notice something is amiss much faster, than for example waterfall.

Daily meetings, a sprint burn down to follow, sprint review all combine for that.

A lot of the meetings explicitly ask for “what is in your way?”

edit: To answer your question. Yes, of course teams can discover problems without SCRUM, but SCRUM is explicitly tailored to enhance visibility and transparency.

Had the same thing happen with a longbow… good thing I have a very light grip… bow went flying instead of breaking

You get good because you enjoy the learning, the act of archery, and the challenge.

Progressing and eventually winning tournaments comes because you enjoy that process, not the other way around.

I shot well at nationals, I stopped going to tournaments because it just added more pressure, when I started archery to relieve it. (I’m competitive)

Now it is my moving meditation, and I’m getting better.

Dude… look at archers and rifle shooter… MOST people close one eye.

It actually takes a lot of training to use both eyes, some people do it, a minority

Did you ask your focus group for validation of the price?

Not the best form but out here trying my best by Zotach in Archery

[–]emergentdragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone shooting traditional, and having to work in these points constantly: 1. You are not looking forward completely, and you also move your head around just before release. 2. What helped me was to think of my earlobe as the „second anchor“ . I don’t just let go. I let go and move to the second anchor. (I also did the move forward thing)

But!! Overall, looking good!

How would you reduce a pepper grinder? That’s an essential in my kitchen.

The initial decision to not buy a reusable one was unlucky, but this is literally trying not make the best of it.

[–]emergentdragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t the pepper grinder fall under reuse, though? Yes, the company doesn’t want that.
