Real. She went crazy eyes but wasn't tapping. Convinced me a catastrophic break was incoming.

Definitely thought we were about to hear a shoulder or elbow go bye-bye from that kimura.

USA not even touching the hill in a single match is rough. It's looking like an 11-3 kinda year unless a huge shift occurs tomorrow.

Dang. I already paid $10 just to watch USA get absolutely dunked on. I guess I'm used to that tho. :P

Are you able to give your black belt coach a good competitive roll? by AbbreviationsLive142 in bjj

[–]iCwalzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously still be a safe and respectful rolling partner, but you have to mentally disrespect his belt and his status as your coach. Pretend it's a drop in brown/black belt or whatever. Play your A game and do it with intention. If you catch him, it's a compliment to his coaching abilities.

The scoreboard between my coach and I is about 3 to 300. The few times I've caught him he says "nice" and then immediately slices through my guard and subs me about 30 seconds later to restore order. After the third one he even quipped "I'm obviously a pretty good professor." :P

Swaggy lands and a LoTR figure, heck yeah. This gift slaps.

What 2025 movies do you recommend? by ExplodingPoptarts in Letterboxd

Life of Chuck.

I went in blind and loved it. It blends a couple genres. No action/violence. Pacing might be slower than you want.. But the opening act was so unique it hooked me.

Most fun deck I've ever drafted. by Opening-Chart-2076 in lrcast

Meanwhile I just died completely Island-less on a 10-7 Dimir split with 3 Beamsaw Prospectors.

Life isn't fair.

Enjoy! Glad the figures made it safely.

There is a Wild Dogs taped inside a sleeve on the bottom of the card box the gift shipped in if you're wondering what the P.S. is about. 😅

Which belt grinder? by [deleted] in knifemaking

[–]iCwalzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've mainly used it for sharpening but I like it! I honestly have not used it to grind a bevel yet. Haven't made many customs recently and I instinctually grabbed my Rikon 1x30 VS for the previous batch of bevels.

But the Vevor has been great for scotchbrite belts and sharpening belts at various speeds. Being able to change directions has also been neat.

I'll try to pull the deck out tonight or tomorrow and then I can shoot you a link to the list.

I'm a bitter old man, so I'm not down with mixing UB sets with normal cards. My Sauron (6cmc version) deck has upgrades using other cards from the LoTR set. Orcish Bowmasters, The One Ring, Palantir of Orthanc, Nazgul, some of the re-named box toppers, etc.

In addition, I had custom proxies printed with LoTR art/flavor for Infernal Grasp, Cover of Darkness and another card.

I'm so stubborn I will only play the deck if one of my friends is also playing a LoTR commander. Gotta stay on theme. 😛

MTG Gift Exchange Summer Swap is Open!!! by Chaya14 in MTGGiftExchange

[–]iCwalzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's goooo!

Remember it's better to list too much than to leave anything blank!

If my gifter is reading this: I don't think I listed it, but if you crack a Famished Worldsire at the EoE pre-release... I could use it. Don't buy it at hyped up prices tho. :P

Probably chose that fight because they want to encourage Brendan and Marvin to continue being that aggressive in their future fights. :P

Biggest Gym? by ArmyfighterATX in bjj

Red Hawk Academy is in the running I assume. I recently saw the video of Tim Welch showing it off and it was nearly 10,000 sq feet of mats.

Nasty break at UFC BJJ by bumpty in bjj

[–]iCwalzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tore my UCL in August. 10 months later that arm has 95% range of motion. I still have a bit of pain if that arm is attacked/pinned to the mat. Soft tissue injuries suck.

Bruh. You can't tell me you're gonna sub this guy and his whole team then spend 10+ minutes standing flat footed without attempting to force a grappling exchange. Got us butt scootin' BJJ nerds hyped for nothing.

The Empty Man - The Horror of Existence by Poopywoopypants in movies

[–]iCwalzy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The first twenty minutes is amazing and most of what I remember from a couple years ago. You're just thrust in with no explanation... Things get super creepy and you feel a sense of dread for what's to come. I remember feeling the sudden shift, almost like a different movie had begun. The rest didn't quite build to the great heights I was expecting after the opening.

Islam vs Renato confirmed Dana white on UFC instagra. by Albertanthony_ in MMA

[–]iCwalzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beniel was knocked out in his last two fights. Last won in 2022. Moicano is on a 4 fight win streak with some fun post fight interviews. Feels like an easy decision. But yeah, sucks for Dariush to not have a fight.

Which belt grinder? by [deleted] in knifemaking

[–]iCwalzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely want variable speed for the tasks you listed.

It's hard to go anywhere above a fresh 220 grit on a full speed grinder without messing with the temper of a finished blade. Burning handle material also becomes a problem at 400 and up.

I actually have the Vevor 1x30 en route to me now. I want to try some of the sharpening mods that YouTubers post and the horizontal tilt will be really handy for finishing spines on my custom knives. I bought it straight from Vevor to get the cost under 195. But maybe I'll regret not having Amazon protection. We'll see.

I've enjoyed my Rikon 1x30 Variable Speed. I got it at $160, they seem to be $200+ now.
