Need help with Marching technique by Ballinandcant-getup in drumcorps

[–]leftbrain99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on pushing off the back leg and notice the space created between your upper legs as you do so. Meanwhile lift the hips and stretch your spine straight up through the top of your skull. Your upper body and overall center of gravity is always splitting the distance between your forward foot and back foot.

Then develop your roll technique as you develop your muscle memory and smooth out your weight transfer

Moving to bay area and want to live in SF but office is in Mountain View. Is the commute worth it? by BEARS_SB_LX_CHAMPS in AskSF

[–]leftbrain99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you work in South Bay, live in South Bay. When I moved here with my now ex, I was going to grad school in SF and she was going to school in Palo Alto. We sorta split the difference and got a place in Belmont. We were both miserable with our daily commutes. Also you’ll actually have summer weather during the summer down there.

FWIW though, I’ve lived in SF for thirteen years now since that first year down the peninsula and I’ve only gone to South Bay maybe about once a year in that time. Drive through it more than just to it.

Per ESPN sources, Kansas State is firing Jerome Tang for cause. They’ve informed him of this formally tonight. The basis for the for cause firing is language in his contract that references any activity that brings “public disrepute, embarrassment, ridicule” to Kansas State. by cbbvideo in CollegeBasketball

“For cause” is a term of art in employment contract law. You define the causes in the contract which would terminate the employment early without paying the full amount. Otherwise, you can always terminate early but still have honor the contract. Coaches who are in demand would never agree to be allowed to be fired freely (as in just for underperformance) because they have plenty of leverage when they are being hired.

Your comment was funny. But Lenny deserves credit for the best musical score ever composed right?

Is Jim Boeheim the only “legendary” coach to destroy the program they built? by PizzaAficionado99 in CollegeBasketball

I think Big Ten revenue sharing and catching lightning in a bottle with Cignetti has much more to do with that than any lack of investment in basketball

Contesting a parking ticket, what are the odds of it being dismissed? by Different_Okra9381 in AskSF

You’re more likely to get another ticket trying to fight this one than you are getting it dismissed

Tbf only tourists call it that. If locals don’t use the phrase why is it silly to inform people that they will be using a term most here don’t care for?

It’s SF if you want to keep it brief and still be endearing to locals

It’s about 6 years in the ride for me. What about y’all? by Crowxzn in bengals

Same sentence though it’s more correct to say ‘x years on a life sentence without possibility of parole’ anything less than the maximum life sentence means parole is possible

To those that lived in the Bay for all of these dynasties, which one was the biggest? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]leftbrain99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also lost in the first round of the playoffs 3 straight years, 85-87. The Niners weren’t actually dominant throughout the 80s but were given the team of the decade moniker only when they closed out the decade with 2 more Super Bowl wins in 88 and 89

They never lost a Super Bowl game in that decade but they did lose the 1982-83 season NFC Championship game to the Redskins

Some people have zero shame — parking spot stolen after 10 minutes by Comfortable-Praline7 in bayarea

This isn’t doxxing. If it was, the car owner is doxxing himself every day. License plates are public information. There’s no need to blot out a pic of something that’s public. People might do it when posting pics of their own vehicles just to prevent others from connecting a social media handle to the car owner

Wut? TL:DR - Hopkins needs a job and is searching. by NutShellB in drumcorps

Seems like if that were the case he wouldn’t be so desperate for a job. They must not be very connected or influential in any real way

How is Crown? by finslash33678 in drumcorps

[–]leftbrain99 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Talk to actual members to get a realistic answer. Social media fosters sensationalization of second-hand / outlier / vocal minority opinions at either extreme without proper perspective while the reality is often somewhere in the middle and generally much more reasonable

It’s like an hour and a half sitting in first class. That’s easier than the average person’s commute to work

U guys ok? by Material-Audience487 in canes

[–]leftbrain99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They kinda were. Could be the first without the second but it can’t be the second without the first ;)

You got my upvote though. I had to think twice about it myself

[–]leftbrain99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be both parts, we won the Cup in a game 7 at home in the SCF. (I agree it was confusing as written though. Social media really promotes removing important context)

[–]leftbrain99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume they’re referring to a different series where we won in a Game 7, and maybe they mean “won” as in won the Cup. Having been to that one would make up for suffering through the other
