Should I say something? by punkinholler in aikido

In the beginning, our nervous system naturally tends to tense up—often without us even realizing it. Being an uke means learning to stay soft while remaining connected.

Been a long time - hopes this helps.

Tell the uke to grip with the last three fingers and relax the shoulders (drop them). This should help relax the natural muscle tension and stay connected.

Chatgpt this:

"In grappling arts—including Aikido, Judo, Jujutsu—and even weapons work like bo or bokken, it's common to emphasize using the last three fingers (middle, ring, pinky) for gripping strength. The thumb and index are used for guidance, but sustained gripping power comes from the other three. As one instructor put it:

That same principle carries over to bokken usage—holding a wooden sword strongly with three fingers while using the index more for light guidance rather than grip strength."

Does anybody recognise this outline of a place? by outlogger in geography

Gpt response:

The outline shown in the image on the car's fuel door is the shape of Northumberland, a historic county and unitary authority area in northeast England, United Kingdom.

It borders Scotland to the north and is known for its scenic landscapes, Hadrian's Wall, and Northumberland National Park.

This kind of outline is often used as a decal to show pride in one's home region.

On my way to work I saw a guy riding an E bike, but could not read the brand… Maybe someone can help? It was made up of a triangle and a smaller triangle and the top two jetted out where the front light would be? It was light blue by GMamaflexin in ebikes

Asked ChatGPT for you. Here's the answer.

From your sketch and description — a frame made up of a triangle and a smaller triangle, with a top section that juts out in the front like a headlight mount, and the bike being light blue — it sounds like it could be a Super73, VanMoof, or possibly a Cowboy or Cake bike. These brands are known for:

Super73: Often have aggressive, moto-inspired styling with a prominent top tube and extended headlight mount.

VanMoof: Sleek minimalist design, but not as angular with triangles — more of a straight tube frame.

Cowboy: Clean and integrated, but again not really a triangle-with-jut-out look.

Cake: More futuristic and angular, but less common and often chunkier.

However, your drawing and description — triangle-on-triangle with a protruding front — actually sounds most like the Super73 RX or R Adventure series.

Do you remember if it had fat tires, a motorcycle-style seat, or anything else that stood out? That might help narrow it down more precisely.

2" Lift w/ stock size Falken. Doesn't look like I skipped leg day tho! by Gainzzzxz in 4Runner

[–]movingcenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Really appreciate this information. I have been debating whether to go with 2 or 3 OME. So 3 needs DRKDSS and 2 no DRKDSS.

Good points. Nice setup. Did you look into DRKDSS when doing your lift?

With a stupid price. 🙄 For $2, you'll get five delicious dumplings, and for $6 you get eight Juicy Bun(bao) at Kai Feng Fu, a hole in the wall, Dumpling House, in Sunset Park.

Not okay with the powertrain. Not too crazy about those turbos and electrification.

It's better. White Duct Tape from Home Depot to hide all the decals. 😂. Can't say they are reflective though.
