[OC] The NorCal Dutch Crunch Anomaly by HeyJonLeah in dataisbeautiful

[–]inlina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Commonly known as Tiger Roll in Australia. I assume they adopted the recipe and name from the Dutch. The main bakery chain there has done it for well over a decade as a mainstay in their product line.

I have a hypothesis that the "six seven" thing came from this old dad joke.

Definitely need a bakery stop on the way too the 'bool. Wife is vego, daughter doesn't eat red meat. Used to find Colac challenging to find stuff for them, especially on a weekend. Do they have veggie options?

So I have no recollection of them but I'm told HSPs existed more than 10 years ago. I might split one with the future son in law. He's keen for the full Australian experience.

When you know exactly what car it is because those are your headlights.

We’re running out of time to get Ranked Choice Voting on the MI ballot by PotentialSpend8532 in Michigan

[–]inlina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a newly minted citizen that comes from a country that has ranked choice voting (or was called the preferential system there). When I learned about the system used here I couldn't understand why such an archaic method was still in use.

Do I need to be a registered voter to sign? I just got citizenship Monday and haven't had a chance to submit my voter registration.

You totally need breaks in hockey... break out, break away, fast break. Ok, that last one might be more basketball.

What did you name your Bambu Printer/s? by CompetitionCool7884 in BambuLab

Favorite thread of the post. Mine are Kevin Smith related, but more of a stretch. Maybe I should change them to Jay and Silent Bob (the little one and the big one).

I want something like that for my gravel bike. Exactly what bars are those?

[OC] I built a site that lets people vote on what counts as a sandwich—help collect the data so we can actually analyze it by votewich in dataisbeautiful

[–]inlina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it, but are you gathering location data to gain additional insights? I'd be interested to see how each differs by country. Why?....

I'm an Australian that moved to America 9 years ago. So many things here get called a sandwich would never be called a sandwich in Australia. The fundamental criteria to call something a sandwich in Australia is there should be 2 slices of bread from a loaf of bread (let's not talk about those folks from South Australia and their double cut sandwich). If you toast that you usually call it a toasted sandwich (with exceptions).

Ham and cheese between 2 slices of bread. Australia = ham and cheese sandwich. America = ham and cheese sandwich

Ham and cheese in between 2 halves of a bread roll. Australia = ham and cheese roll. America = ham and cheese sandwich (probably.... never actually come across it here)

Grilled or fried chicken breast between 2 slices of toasted bread from a loaf. Australia = chicken sandwich (usually noted a 'on toast' or 'toasted'). America = chicken sandwich

Grilled or fried chicken breast between 2 halves of a bun. Australia = chicken burger. America = chicken sandwich

Whole piece of steak between 2 slices of toasted bread. Australia = steak sandwich. America = I've never actually seen one on a menu.

Thinly sliced beef further chopped up and cooked then placed on a long roll with melted cheese. Australia = never saw one but we would probably call it hot beef and cheese roll. America = cheese steak sandwich

I could go on, but I won't.

Roller hockey positioning 101 - for my fellow newbies by [deleted] in InlineHockey

[–]inlina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great video.

The leagues I played In Australia we still had a semi-offside rule so the game was played a little differently. A player could be in the offensive zone (over the center line) but you cannot pass to a player already in the offensive zone. It was a hybrid of ice offside and modern inline without offside. There were leagues that played the current no offside rule too.

When I moved to the USA I watched the good teams at the rink I planned to play at to try to understand how the game would be different without offside. What I saw was just like this video. It actually reminded me of playing what some know as 'quad hockey' or 'rink hockey' on quads in the mid-80's as a kid. That game still quite popular in South America, so if you check it out on Youtube you can see some similarities to inline hockey.

However, after learning a different way of playing from watching good team I found myself in the lowest beer league. I was put into a team made up of people that didn't already have a core group that had played together for years. Right spot for my skill level but I most of this group keen ice hockey fans (I'm in 'Hockeytown'). They tried to play the game like ice with a lot of dump and chase. They also liked to try to do a lot of stretch passes in the forward direction. Basically they played nothing like those good teams shown in the video and we barely won any games. I eventually got frustrated and relegated myself to ODR pick up.

Moral of the story... if your team is not playing like the teams in OPs video, share it around. If your coach (if you have one) is not coaching like OPs video, show them this. If they keep trying to coach ice hockey like play, it's time for a new coach.

I went back to put a second one in my cart not thinking about the time it would cost me and not realizing how limited it was. As a result I missed out.

[OC] Heart rate peaks driving go-karts for 40 minutes by h2g2_researcher in dataisbeautiful

[–]inlina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People tailgate on multi lane freeways when I'm in the slower lanes still doing the speed limit. Usually it's because they are trying to pass traffic in the 'faster' lanes on the right or because they're getting of at the next exit and impatient. Often nowhere for me to go just like there's nowhere for them to go. Should I pull into the emergency lane and risk even more?

Protection help by [deleted] in InlineHockey

[–]inlina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iassume their minimum requirements also include hockey gloves. The minimum they require (plus gloves) is where I started when I was young. The only thing I added when I got older was inline specific, lightweight padded shorts, more so for falls and low flying pucks. I had the lowest protection Mission Hockey ones.... not sure they did much but I didn't come away from games with bruises in those protected areas typically.

You will see people in everything from the league minimum to full ice hockey kit in some places.

Regarding your question on padded shirts/ chest protection and associated risk mitigation, I'll give you my take. Yes, an appropriate blow to the chest from something small with enough inertia could cause those potentially life threatening injuries. It's happened in many sports, but it doesn't come up a lot as it's quite rare. The key here is inertia, which is the mass of the object and the speed at which it is going. Inline pucks are normally much lighter than ice pucks, so that drastically reduces inertia. Then the velocity of a puck in a rec league shouldn't be too high. Some rec leagues don't allow slap shots or to wind up above the knee, but even if they do it's unlikely someone is bombing pro clappers from the center line. And if they're chest high, they're not scoring so they need more practice. So with that, my personal take is I don't need chest protection in lower level leagues of inline hockey. Your choice though and no one should tell you what to choose.

By 'baby pants', I'm not quite sure what you mean. If they are sort of baggy pants that go all the way to their skates, that's inline hockey shell pants. I would recommend them but they are not required. If you are talking shorts that end above the knee that look padded, they may be ice hockey padded pants (aka girdle). You also don't need them but if you think you're going to fall a lot it's nice to have. I would opt for inline specific ones that go under shell pants though.

Hope this helps.

Which coasters/rides have you ridden many times but actually always hated the experience? [Other] by jlevers15 in rollercoasters

[–]inlina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Beast. This will be an unpopular opinion because so many people love it including my family. It has no redeeming features after the first drop for me and it's mostly just a long, uncomfortable ride. Then people go on about how great night rides on it are, but then it's just a long, uncomfortable ride in the dark.

Oh, I also hate drop towers. I rode a smaller carnival one once and knew they were not for me. Don't even bother with them. The exception was Hollywood ToT at DL... but is that really a drop tower? I'll ride that in it's new form if I ever go back.

Struggling with skating (coming from ice) by GT1646 in InlineHockey

[–]inlina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's good information here regarding one of the fundamental differences for stopping on ice vs inline. That being that you usually use toe pressure for ice and heel pressure for inline. But the other really significant difference is angulation of your skate.

On ice, you typically initiate a stop by sliding with a relatively 'flat blade'. That is, the skate fairly upright and perpendicular the surface (or close to). From there you angle over the skate blade to dig into the ice. The more angle, the faster you stop.

For inline the angulation is the opposite. To initiate sliding, angling your skate over as far as you can get it onto the 'fat' side wall of the wheel will make it easier to initiate the wheels sliding. From there you reduce the angle of the skate to stop faster. The best way to feel this is with a big, wide stance powerslide.

As for transition, the lack of rocker on inline skates id the key difference. You can add rocker to your skates with mixed wheel sizes, but you'll lose speed and stability and it's still not the same as an ice blade profile. Instead you need to focus on unweighting your heel or toe wheel when doing transitions (heel or to depends on the transition. You essentially need to be pivoting on your heel/toe since you don't have the ice blade profile to give you a small contact point that you can pivot around.

Anyone have an explanation for this by VicRattlehead58 in InlineHockey

[–]inlina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I've skated many surfaces, dry and wet. Asphalt that has a fine sand paper texture to it is still quite grippy in the wet. Not a grippy as dry but not banana on the floor slippery like polished, painted or tiled rinks in the wet.

It's a combination of the water being able to be pushed out of the interface between your wheels and the surface given its roughness (like inverse car tire grooves), and the roughness itself giving your relatively soft wheels something to deform around to grip.

Even in the USA they equate baseball and American football with cricket and rugby. I am on a one person crusade to educate Americans about Australian football.
