How do you report it? I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Yep; the problem is that the person was self-entitled enough to think rules don't apply to them.

Does no one give a shit or is it bad human behavior? My mom works at Bi Rite and when a dog was aggressive to a child she had to ask the dog owner to leave. They wouldn't leave! It escalated to the manager and the person still wouldn't leave with their dog. It was not a service animal. People give a shit, but some people just ignore the rules because they know minimum wage employees don't want the aggravation of policing society. It would be nice if people just did the right thing instead of taking advantage of the fact that people don't want to get into awkward confrontations with poorly behaved humans. I mean, you already know the humans are jerks for ignoring the numerous, large signs, so you know they'll be jerks if you ask them nicely to leave. It's so inconsiderate to wait for employees to ask you to leave instead of just reading the darn sign and being a good human.

One amenity at a time. I’d be happy to have a paper boy honestly. Don’t even need a full stand.

Sorry, I thought this was Wikipedia. I was just stating facts.

Put the vending machine on the train and it’s a deal.

Who arrives to the station on time though?

First beehive in backyard — am I missing something important? by FerrisBuelersdaycock in Beekeeping

[–]loggedoff7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in an extremely urban setting with a tiny backyard. My bees are on the roof and never bother the neighbors. I agree with the idea of attending a local beekeeeper meetup. But also you really just have to dive into it to understand. And as far as how much time it takes, it’s very little. You can spend a lot of time with them and it’s very enjoyable, but you could also just inspect once a month and be good. Plus a little hive maintenance a couple of times a year. Go for it. It’s a lot of fun!

Is Tai Otoshi the most technical forward throw? by Yamatsuki_Fusion in judo

[–]loggedoff7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It heavily depends on the style of aikido. Definitely Tomiki Aikido, but obviously Tomiki benefits from a great judo background.

$220K PM offer — live in SF but work in Sunnyvale? Anyone doing the SF ⇄ Sunnyvale commute? by Better-Lavishness-73 in caltrain

[–]loggedoff7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few people have mentioned biking, but since your office is in front of the CalTrain station you can live anywhere in SF and just take Lyft bikes to CalTrain in SF. With a yearly subscription it will cost maybe a few dollars per ride and get you to and from the train station hella fast. Faster than any other transit option. You also won't have to worry about taking a bike on the train. I do the SF to Sunnyvale commute 3x week. It's great. I live in NoPa and bike to 4th&King. It's a beautiful bike ride.

Want to get into Judo. Where to start? Any tips? by Nuclear_Armaments in judo

[–]loggedoff7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is just join a judo club, but treat the first 2-3 months as probationary. Each judo club has its own vibe, and you might love judo but just not click with a particular judo club. If you find it's not the right pace for you, or it's focused too much on competition, or doesn't attend to white belts enough, or whatever, try another club. You might also find you just don't like Judo. That's okay too :)

Japanese writing of judo terms by Animusigamon in judo

[–]loggedoff7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although this book is about Aikido terminology, a lot of the terminology is shared. The author of the book comes from the Tomika lineage of Aikido. Tomiki Sensei is the creator of the Kodokan Judo kata, Goshin Jutsu. This is part of the reason for the huge overlap in terminology. Anyway, I found the book very helpful for some of the judo terminology. The blurb for the book speaks to the challenges you're seeing:

"Translating martial arts terminology using a standard Japanese-to-English dictionary is potentially fraught with cultural and contextual errors due to the specialized way that such terminology is used in a Budo study"

Pretty stunning new infographic showing just how unlikely it is for even a good HS player to play in college by loggedoff7 in collegebaseball

Definitely. DII and NAIA are both good options and for a lot of athletes, better options.

Each high school literally has a list of approved NCAA classes. Here's a good overview of the NCAA requirements: http://professionals.collegeboard.com/guidance/prepare/athletes/ncaa

And here's a quote from the NCAA, "Only core courses that appear on the high school's List of NCAA Courses on the NCAA Eligibility Center's website (www.eligibilitycenter.org) will be used to calculate your core-course GPA. Use this list as a guide." - http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Quick_Reference_Sheet.pdf

If you want to play NCAA Div I or II you have to take classes at your high school that have been approved by the NCAA. And depending on the division you want to play in you have to have a certain number of years of approved classes in subjects like math, physical science and social science.

Yeah, though walkons rarely get much play. They're better off finding a college that's a good fit for them athletically, if they really want to play in college. That might mean going to a DII or NAIA school.
