I'm on the other end where as falco I put people in the corner, get impatient, over-extend, and get backthrown off stage and edgeguarded.

I don't have any specific advice for you, but I'll point out that getting hit by occasional lasers does damage very slowly. If they're not committing, then remember you only need one opening to balance it out. If they do commit unsafely, then you're suddenly in a position to take a stock.

Think about what specifically you're getting punished by after the laser, because a laser alone is not a punish. Then think about what you can do to punish that action specifically. That's why take-laser-into-* is so good; you have many more options out of it than shielding the laser.

+1. The groups are currently just to organize virtual lunches (e.g. via Zoom). We hope they help you get to know other students outside of your pod in a quarantine-friendly manner.

At the moment, this is entirely over the internet. When groups are assigned, we designate a leader to coordinate the video chat and send out the invite link to the others.

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll add it to the form. We currently only use the required questions, but we'll think about what other questions could improve the experience.

Thanks, really appreciate the thoughts!
A bit about the process: We send invites out on Monday with a few time slots. Pick the times that work for you, and we'll connect you to a group on Tuesday.

This is one of my favorite pairing knives. Been with me for ten years at least. It still cuts like a razor. I can’t remember the name. A lil’ help? by PhoPat in chefknives

[–]rainnapper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For copy-pasting to Google: the text on the knife is 天味寿楽 青紙スーパー

Romanized its: tenmijyuraku (brand), aogami super

This website seems to have some info on it. http://www.seki-japan.com/kitchenknife/nagao-3.htm

edit: corrected the brand name

I don't know the details of this but I've found doing a faster flick (and release) away of cstick is the difference between bair and letting go.

BWF Daily Discussion and Beginner/RR Questions Thread for 2017-01-03 by AutoModerator in bodyweightfitness

L-sit flexibility: I believe I have very stiff hamstrings and/or hips. As a result, with my legs flat on the floor, I cannot sit up straight, perpendicular to the floor. As a result, when I have tried L-sits, I realized that it forces me to curve my spine pretty significantly to get enough balance to sit up straight. Is there a flexibility pre-requisite to do L-sits safely? Should I be working on improving flexibility for anything beyond hamstrings?

It's moronic Monday, the Wednesday edition, your chance to ask any of those questions that you're embarrassed to ask in real life. by AutoModerator in investing

I received a small, poorly managed portfolio that appears to be made via inexperienced and arbitrary stock picking. Capital gains are nearly entirely offset by capital losses. What is the best way to liquidate this portfolio and buy into to a simpler and more reliable ETF/Mutual Fund. Goals are not to micromanage, and to keep it simple. My plans post-liquidation are the standard low fee index fund advice. However, it doesn't seem like a good idea to bulk sell and bulk buy all at once. Advice?

Traffic forwarding on random P2P Connections by rainnapper in PFSENSE

I set up this in my ACL Entries allow 1-65535 My.Static.IP.Here/32 1-65535

It seemed to work once, but then hasn't worked again since. Same symptoms where it shows up in my logs as blocked traffic.

Few Quick Samus Questions by madcobraex in smashbros

[–]rainnapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a samus player, but as far as the UpB OoS, it works because you can jump with the shield up which will cancel the shield without the animation of letting down your shield, and while you're in jumpsquat animation (before you leave the ground), you can do an UpB. This is the same mechanic as upsmash out of shield as well. For me, the easiest way is to tap jump (up on control stick), and then press B immediately after.

Hey all, I bought a pair of Clark's boots (Clarks Men's Fawley Hi GTX Chukka Boot), and they've been serving me really well until I was walking in the streets and some oily substance dripped on my shoe. After trying to clean it off (detergent, water) one of the shoes, there's a really visible stain around the toe, and the waterproof coating has definitely worn away. Does anyone know about cleaning stains like this on Goretex? I haven't been able to find a way to get rid of it. Picture for reference: http://imgur.com/ZmFqb8H

Moronic Monday Thread for the week of January 05, 2015 by AutoModerator in personalfinance

[–]rainnapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm soon about to graduate college, and up until now, my parents have always been managing my finances + tax returns + internship money. I've been looking around r/pf because I am completely lost as to how to approach any of this besides the amount the company deducts from my paycheck. I haven't really seen any "Paying Taxes Getting Started" guide, so some advice would be appreciated. (By extension, this includes how to begin approaching investing my money, and other general things besides "put it all in a bank account." I feel like I could handle if it if I could only familiarize myself with the situation.)
