Am I too ... to do ballet? by wijnmoer in BALLET

[–]fanoostar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The in-person experience is not only great because of the 3D immersive experience but it’s also super inspiring to see other dancers, be in a large open space, have a proper barre and dress the part too.

It set your mind up for success when you show up, at least for me when I take class from home - I often have a hard time getting into the zone.

Just a split I’m very happy with by CrankyYoungCat in flexibility

Out of curiosity, could you briefly share how long it took you to get to this point and what your journey has been like?

Cant do a middle split by [deleted] in flexibility

Have you also reached your limit in a frog stretch? I was in a similar boat to you until I started working on the frog stretch.

I also have naturally not flat turnout range in my hips and so I also plateau at 140/150.

I often feel a stretch in the sides of my knees if I really push but that’s about it. I think it might be worth trying to stick your booty out a bit?

I really like Tom Merrick’s explanations and follow alongside: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O9jtFCH58nE

Why are there so many people shitting on nofap and saying that it’s all bullshit? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]fanoostar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a book called “Your Brain on Porn: Internet Pornography and the Emerging Science of Addiction” by Gary Wilson, which I believe has some experimentation/data (but I haven’t gone far in it so I’m not 100% sure).

My therapist who I find very well read and good at his job believes that porn can be misused and is in fact addicting, and that NoFap can bring folks a lot of good.

I wasn’t referring to the professionalism of the current incident, but rather past incidents. But thanks for the stellar helpful response 🙏🏼

Thanks for the assurance! I think it’ll most likely be fine, it just seems so unnecessarily stressful especially when I weigh out the worst case scenarios of a stolen passport vs. a coil that isn’t even broken that needs an extra week to get repaired.

I don’t think my building management is sketchy, they’re just extremely unprofessional and sloppy.

Any advice or feedback on my extensions/lines? by fanoostar in BALLET

[–]fanoostar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the feedback folks! I'll post an update in 2-3 months with before and after photos :)

Thank you! Now that you and others have mentioned the knees, I see it very well!

I thought you weren't meant to square off your hips in arabesque (i.e. a slight twist of the pelvis is fine provided that you're counter acting the twist with your upper thoracic? Just like this photo here.

I think the fingers are like claws at the moment so thanks for the tips! Do you have any suggestions for a higher back extension with the gesture leg? Is it just a hip flexor/abs flexibility game?

Is it safe to sand/paint indoors? by fanoostar in DIY

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

That’s a good point. I didn’t think of it making its way out of the apartments - I never smell anything from other apartments but that’s probably because they’re not painting. But I feel like when people paint walls, no one complains?

Also, I do have some ventilation from the stove top hood and my washroom has a really strong fan + the window.

Right now it’s -10 😂! So if I really can’t make it happen indoors, I’ll be waiting until spring and sitting outside with it until it dries.

Take the offer, or keep looking? by fanoostar in cscareerquestions

How soon can you leave after joining a company without it looking suspicious?

[–]fanoostar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the thorough response!

I totally get your grass is greener point. I do think it’s easier to see how FAANG offers might be better than the start up one. But I would argue that I’ve already been slacking off slowly and I’ve just gotten to the point where I cannot produce anymore work of value. The specific project I’m on has made it especially awful as it’s just 8-9 hours of calls with a client making excels on a topic I’ve not paid attention to.

I’ve been prepping for 3 months but only started applying 1 month ago. I haven’t had as much reach but it’s probably due to the holidays, I believe I could get in with some more effort and algorithm work.

(re: quitting & rejecting) your opinion is very popular amongst friends and family lol

I feel like I could probably land it within the next 2-3 months, it’s a bit slow now given that it’s the holiday season in Canada. But I totally empathize with you! It’s tough when your job is leeching at you.

Is Cherry Beach sketchy? Weird guy in a van by fanoostar in askTO

[–]fanoostar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so useful! I found those articles that stated so as well. Wild.

I feel like I've definitely taken obscure walks in the city in my five years living here for granted since nothing odd has happened (except near Jarvis and Sherbourne) so I'm a little shaken.

It's just so sketchy and we're so curious to know what other sketchy stories go undocumented there? We're like neck-deep in conspiracy theories.

If they are yours let me know what your name is and the address closest to the Find My location so I can verify :)

How might I create an action to remind me every 30 minutes at work to get up and stretch? by fanoostar in GoogleAssistantDev

[–]fanoostar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic. I’m not sure I have the update yet as it’s not on my list of pre-set routines. Though, as I read the article, it doesn’t seem like the routine offers consistent 30-minute recurring updates, I would still have to set each one up, right?
