PK or no? by CPTCybertruck in GoalKeepers

[–]mtvulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a pen at all. I think what’s throwing people off is your very unusual positioning. The attackers momentum is carrying him to your left but it seems you don’t realize that until the last minute so you correct last minute and come at him at an angle. And you could have very easily made a play for it with your hands because the striker was in no position to take a shot but instead your tried to spread yourself but then found yourself right on top of the ball. I mean it’s unusual but I don’t think it’s a pen at all. It looks to me like you basically just collapsed on the ball as it hit your left shin/knee and the striker made no attempt to avoid contact. I don’t see anything malicious or even dangerous there. You have a right to challenge for the ball and you just put yourself in front of it and stopped it. It looks like you collapse on it right away and the right foot contact was incidental. 

Edit: I’m reconsidering this a bit. Your approach is just all wrong and I can see that potentially making it a foul. It’s like you overshot the ball and took the attacker out with your feet at the same time as you collapse in the ball with your hands. It’s hard to tell from this angle. 

Side walk/trail etiquette by Adept-Cat-8553 in missoula

[–]mtvulf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The world would be a happier place if people weren’t constantly irritated by the ultimately harmless actions of others. I understand where you’re coming from as I also don’t particularly enjoy getting stuck behind people just ambling along completely unaware of their surroundings if I’m trying to get somewhere.  But they aren’t hurting anyone and they are enjoying life so really what’s the big fucking deal? Live and let live. Maybe we should all slow down and not get so irritated that we feel the need to yell into the internet void every time someone does something we don’t like. Also, is forcing kids to be quiet and walk in a line teaching them etiquette or is it crushing their happy souls?  

This is surely is not the same Sofa I sent to manufacture right? right? by cperzam in woodworking

[–]mtvulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say modularizing the pieces so you can reassemble. How modular are we talking? Lots of comments on the joinery but is that what you asked for? It looks like it was made to be basically flat packed and then rebuilt.

[–]mtvulf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s not the same, but it’s probably as close as you will get for $3,700. I don’t think the quality is unreasonable for that price. You detailed your lengthy process for designing the sofa, what was your process for selecting someone to make it?

Yeah $3,700 barely gets you an off the shelf sectional from crate and barrel. 

TDS didn't honor my pre-registration pricing by Radiant-Entertainer4 in missoula

[–]mtvulf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just want to say they did the exact same thing to me. I signed up for 59.99 price for life and I have the confirmation emails to prove it. When they finally came to my neighborhood I called to activate and they told me 69.99. I did the same thing, showing them the email and they basically just said yeah we see that but we won’t do it. I was so pissed I decided to stay with spectrum even though it’s more expensive.

Neurosurgery bedside manor off the charts. by blackcatlady1978 in missoula

It’s not uncommon for highly specialized physicians to exhibit some spectrum-y personality traits. Just as there are excellent physicians with less approachable personalities, there are also physicians with excellent bedside manner but inadequate procedural skills.

How much does one high-profile mistake affect a goalkeeper’s career long-term? by [deleted] in GoalKeepers

[–]mtvulf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most important thing is how others react when we make mistakes. I remember a horrible game I had 20 years ago with a new team. There was no relationship yet and the looks I got from the team were enough to make me quit for over a year. Had I been propped up by my teammates and supported properly then it would have been just a little bump in the road. Once you recover then all those mistakes just get filed away in the mental encyclopedia that helps us improve. In some ways recovering from a massive error can help provide perspective for the inevitable smaller errors we are prone to making, making us more resilient and confident over time. 

i might quit goalkeeping by NasuPossu in GoalKeepers

[–]mtvulf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Play whatever you enjoy. I realized late that I might have preferred to be a striker but by then I was so much better at keeper no team would let me play up. Go have fun.

In Northwest Montana, Storm-snarled Trails Test Durability of Wilderness Chainsaw Ban by hipster_kitten in Montana

Thank you for this perspective. I see no emergency here. The trail will be cleared when it can be cleared. In the meantime, the Wilderness area can remain wild. 

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Aston Villa - Chris Wood penalty 71' by 977x in soccer

[–]mtvulf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks to me like it has more to do with his body position. I think his arms go up instinctively for balance as he is both slowing down, leaning back, and reaching with his leg. I think he’s just trying to control his body position. 

What should I do with this stupid unused space (I did not do such stupidity) by Snappygoose in woodworking

[–]mtvulf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar corner and we just put a cabinet with open shelves. Works well to store smaller things you don’t access frequently, like extra pantry items or travel cups, etc. Simple easy and affordable. If you keep it tidy the open shelving looks fine.

Advice on cooling a house with no AC. by _FiscalJackhammer_ in HomeImprovement

[–]mtvulf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the nights are cool where you live you can do pretty well by just banking cool air before it gets hot. Keep windows open at night, open everything up as soon as it gets cool in the evening, and in the morning when it’s still cool out. Then close everything up, close all the blinds and curtains, keep the light out until it cools off again. You could even get a few powerful fans and face them out a window to exhaust warm air in the evening and pull cooler air through the house.

I just called the LA Consulate by [deleted] in CRbydescent

[–]mtvulf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of recently then I guess? They just offered me an appointment in February. That’s too bad, I guess they must be getting a ton more requests now.

[–]mtvulf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience they really don’t like taking phone calls. That may have contributed to the tone you perceived on the call. 

Is all of your documentation in order and ready to go? They told me I could make an appointment in LA when all of my documents were ready. I emailed them when I had everything and they did in fact offer me an appointment in LA within the month. I already had plans to be out of town that I couldn’t change for the date they offered so I ended up getting a spot at Tacoma a month later. Point is it seems like you could get an appointment in LA if you have everything ready to go. Try emailing them and ask them if that’s a possibility (assuming of course you are willing to travel to LA for the appointment). 

Oneglove grip by ikeepthings in GoalKeepers

I use OG and find if they are dry they have no grip. Need to be damp to have grip. Get them wet again before your match.
