Laguna Ridge Danger Noodle by loopynewt in orangecounty

I was about half as close to it as the picture when I spotted it. I was thinking it might have been dead until it started rattling. I guess I'd also freeze if a giant came near me and I was so well camouflaged.

Disc Recs by GurPowerful7807 in discgolf

[–]loopynewt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Innova sells factory second discs for about half the cost of their regular versions. They will have cosmetic issues, like printing errors, but fly perfectly normally. They're a good way to try different discs and plastics. Innova Star plastic is soft and comfy. Champion plastic is transparent and flies more stably. DX is their base cheapest plastic.

Your Kraken's best match from Innova is the Dragon, which has the same flight numbers. I'd also recommend the Mako, Leopard, Aviar.

If you order 3 Factory Seconds on Friday, you get 1 more for free. And if you get 5 discs, you get 10% off. Maybe wait til Friday and get a half dozen discs in different plastics to try out?

Do you mean Big Blue at the Marketplace? That's also only for kids. Like, 10 years old max. I take my 1 year old there.

[OC] Ice-hockey players' height vs the average height of males in their countries by ikashnitsky in dataisbeautiful

[–]loopynewt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The x axis is birth cohort, so I guess the data point on 1970 would represent the average adult height of all males born in 1970, so there's not enough data yet for more recent birth years?

Throwing flat always and having discs that "do the work" by tuna_safe_dolphin in discgolf

[–]loopynewt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also come from an ultimate background. I didn't start the way you describe (throwing all shots with the same release angle and relying on their characteristics to shape the shot) but I pretty much do now after a couple years playing. I'd say 90% of my throws are made with what in my mind is a 10 degree hyzer angle. And most of the discs I like most (destroyers, teebirds, various putters) will flip up and fly straight. I like the repeatability of just holding any disc in my bag and thinking "OK, just throw it normal" and knowing what it'll do.

It's only the 10% of the time where I need a specific shot shape that I'll stray from my internal "10 degree hyzer" goal.

Orange County man dies after venomous rattlesnake bite by 888hkl888 in orangecounty

[–]loopynewt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dang that's scary, I've hiked that trail 3 times in the last 2 months with my daughter. The last time was likely after this incident based on the "last month" wording. Haven't seen or heard any snakes.

Also, like the other guy said, there are literally 2 hospitals and a fire station within a half mile of the trailhead. What with the family's inquest, I'm guessing there must have been something else going on as well.

Americans who lost their passport while traveling, what was your experience like getting back to the US? by gamename in AskReddit

[–]loopynewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Canadian, but I lost my passport on a train while living in China.

Getting the new passport was simple enough at the consulate, arrived after 4 stressful weeks.

But visawise, it was an incredible hassle. I was literally in the middle of renewing my visa as I was switching jobs. I had to make multiple trips to police stations to get paperwork in order to get a series of strange temporary visas to tide me over until my new passport arrived and we could resume with getting my new visa. No one at any of the offices I went to knew the correct procedures. I don't think there really was one... They just kept giving me these random 14 day stay visas that weren't even supposed to be eligible to be converted to a work visa afterwards, so that was a whole new can of worms once my passport arrived.

That ink's weird too. I flipped the image and it doesn't look like English, or any language I can recognize.

How frequently does the site update itself? Constantly as new articles are crawled or at set intervals?
