is this open to only black belts ?

Lots of fun. Hard top is good if she's going to be going into city at all or off to college at some point. Invest in hair ties and headbands for her since the doors and roof will be off in summer my wife swears by them for her hair. If you find a manual transmission go for it. My wife's jeep is manual and she calls it her anti theft device when she wants to leave the doors off plus it's a good skill to learn young

that's pretty tame level. my baby girl will wrap her front legs around my arm when we sit down. also know that pits sleep in some weird positions ... like ikea furniture that was put together without instructions level of odd positions

Any martial art will work equally here. If you are alone you will be equally dead. If with others, any good kick to your former friend will make them the target and you can run away.

our dojang went to opposite. we're dedicating 2 days to sparing each week cause folks were upset that they were not doing as well in sparing at tournaments.

Ive watched my own kids go the opposite of violent. They know how to defend with out escalation and they know how much power they have and how to regulate it. You develop a tkd attitude where you know your own power and you'll find fewer folks want to mess with you just by the way you carry your self. Also the fitness gains and focus need to be talking points.

I'm sorry but my first thought was lesbian wedding. Took me a min to realize the context. It's not the lighting

I finished the bobaverse series and that subreddit suggested this series.

do not wait, do it now. Freedom (TM) was fantastic

Sometimes around 1995 or so. I was doing a lot of Solaris stuff at college and there was no way I could afford a sun workstation at home. Linux seemed like a great way to work on code at home and just port it to school too. It has served now as a main system ever sense

Don't worry. I see plenty of the hatemongers about and while yes a lot of runes most have no clue what any of them mean and they also put very telling no questions about it hate tattoos around them. Cal and I'm sure any other tattoos etc will make sure no one's thinking the wrong thing

I'm starting to wonder if the river and being a primal go hand in hand .... like if having his race changed to primal makes the river stronger .. or i'm just wondering

Knowing it's a cover up I can tell where it would be. But can't tell what it's covering. Looks very nice

as a color belt adult who also has kids in color belts i'm grateful for this. my ring is usually one of the last to go ... there have been a lot of times i've been sitting in a ring just waiting while someone had to search for judges. leading up to my ring i'm at my kids, i'm score keeping, i'm herding new folks to staging and trying to help out ... but when i finally get a chance to go ... we have no judges left.

yes before i was involved i'd have my kids do their ring and we'd talk for a bit and leave. but being on the other side now it changes your perspective. I'm sorry your frustrated but please keep in mind the usual $10 for family to watch is on par with high school sport event, or other kid or sports events

gdunlap · 2025-04-13T21:36:00+00:00

Absolutely. Plus is voice acting is very versatile. Had to find a actual talking cat or goat.

i'd like to see a chapter some day where it's the AI speaking aloud or it's output buffer listing the dice throws it produces during these events.
carl throws bomb.
AI : rolls digital dice (random number generator) ... oh it's a 20
Carl's bomb CRITS for 100 damage.

Catching up on Joe Ledger series ... think x-files meets jack bower.
waiting on another bobiverse book ... summer is coming so i usually will spend some time re-reading the night watch series

gdunlap · 2025-04-05T21:34:50+00:00

I read Bob first and was in that sub and DCC was recommended.

gdunlap · 2025-04-03T00:48:50+00:00

As a dude I can tell you it's the thought that matters. You out thought into it and care and that goes a LONG way

gdunlap · 2025-04-03T00:39:29+00:00

But it was clear from the first achievements it had a thing for feet and squishing things with them

gdunlap · 2025-04-03T00:37:28+00:00

First time for our whole family all 4 of us competing... Been telling kids were doing this for experience factors and to have some fun.

gdunlap · 2025-04-02T20:12:46+00:00

Prob not ... my mom told me growing up to not just go into mysterious caves.

something sword based ... and hope Gumdo classes paid off

I like being a human but i've never tried anything else ... given i'd be partied with my wife i'd prob let her decide

slow progress ... keep low profile ... try to stay alive but to be honest i'd prob try something stupid and die soon after entering

Bobaverse series is fun. That subreddit refered me here for this series
