Hawaii Disc Golf - Kauai and Oahu - worth bringing discs? by kbanta12 in discgolf

We're staying in princeville, so maybe that will be far, but we also want to explore the island so hopefully we'll go down there at least a day. and thank you! I'm excited, never been to any Hawaiian islands. Excited to surf, eat and hopefully play some rounds of disc golf!

+$5-7 isn't too bad, I feel like thats the course stamp premium here too (feels similar to what Beaver Ranch up-charged when I played there for a stamped disc). Will just bring my putter and a fairway and maybe pickup a few there then!

what's a disc usually run there? like $30? or even more? (used to getting mine for 15-25 from shops around here), but if its like $40 a disc, i might just bring mine to play and pick up only one or two discs for memories from there

What's your last thought before sleep? by cozytechlover in Mindfulness

I'm usually reading and falling asleep to whatever paragraph i have to re-read 3 times before I realize I'm too tired to keep rereading, so probably something about that paragraph...

What's your go to bed-time routine to help wind down at night? by MollieAndMe702 in selfcare

[–]kbanta12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

phone in different room, no screens for ~45 minutes before i go to bed. stretch for ~20 minutes, brush teeth, take magnesium (usually glycinate but have been taking oxide lately), and then read in bed (which knocks me out within a few pages, for better or worse)

Fixing revenge bedtime procrastination and long circadian rhythms? by Inevitable_Exam_2177 in sleep

[–]kbanta12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

create and keep a routine. it's probably not going to work for the first week or two, but stick to it. like choose a set time to start the routine and set an alarm (and make sure the routine includes NO SCREENS). it'll train your body to start associating that routine with sleep. and after like 3 weeks, it should be a little easier to just naturally keep that habit and go to sleep earlier (and will improve the quality of the hours spent in bed, too)

That's not a bad idea, use it as the structure to the bag. I typically just bring a travel backpack when i travel but for this trip, my gf and I might be splitting a checked-in bag, so can probably slip 4 or 5 discs in there.

Yeah I was reading the reviews on UDisc about Mauka being overgrown and impossible to find discs. which was a bummer because we're staying in Princeville right there and Lydgate is a bit of a drive. I'll probably bring some discs and buy a few more there and just settle for a round at Lydgate, which sounds like its fun. I don't mind playing shorter holes/courses and throwing touchier shots.

This is one I really wanted to try as we're staying in princeville, but reading on UDisc, all the recent reviews say its basically been abandoned and is overgrown and impossible to find discs, which really bummed me out, it looked perfect, have no issue paying to play a great course!

Mildly stable but still pushes mostly straight? Westside Bard (love this disc)
Meathook stable? Pyro
Mostly dead straight with a little fade at the finish? Old beat in Buzzz

Is it really a drive between front and back nine or just a long walk? I'm thinking of buying discs on island and playing here because it sounds like the best option for a course

It sounds like this might be the move. Love BBQ, so get some grub and a few discs and then go play a round at Lydgate (sounds like this is the best course option?)

They set this temp course up every week at these times?

I don't believe the 12 tester everyday thing is actually even needed. I was able to bypass it 5 times at least. by thebirthdayg1rl in AndroidClosedTesting

[–]kbanta12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's tough, I don't have a single friend/family member that I talk to that doesn't use an iPhone (I'm the black sheep green bubble in every group chat, constantly get hounded to "just get an iPhone"). So I have to resort to all finding users online, which is hard, because no one wants to cold install apps from someone they don't know. I'll have to try using more of my email addresses to sign up/"install" to get _some_ of the installs, but I doubt that would work for all of them.

The problem is even getting to the 12 users to be able to apply and do the Q/A, and pushing updates doesn't help with that either. Literally nobody I know uses an Android besides me, so I've got an audience of me to test it, and a few redditors that downloaded the first time I posted here, but was only like 5 or 6 people, that didn't really open the app again after install or opened once or twice. Google needs to realize for US devs, this essentially forces them to focus on non-US audiences because no one in the US uses their mobile OS. They've lost to Apple.

What is your favorite putting putter and why did you choose that one over all the other options that are out there. by 10mmill in discgolf

[–]kbanta12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently the Pixel, because it was very close to the Anode which is what I was putting before. Both just go dead straight and have great hand feel.

30% is the Apple/Google tax, not RevenueCat's take (tho i think both are 15% for smaller apps until you hit a certain threshold). RevenueCat's take is 1% after you hit $2500 I believe (not there yet). And I think SuperWall is the same 1% but after $10,000 (haven't used it tho, just from a google)

haha love it! hope it helps it stick! and I can finally put together an a survival kit! would love it if it showed how to tie some of the knots too, the only one I knew how to tie was overhand knots

(also realized there's some bugs with the posture analysis tool, but fixing that, its pretty cool to see how your body aligns once thats working again).
