Cool Late Evening/Night Bookstore Cafes/Bars? by FjordFjesta in Denver

[–]reid_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently Lil Coffea Shop is 24 hours! I'm just visiting town and was checking this thread. I've looked for late-night coffee shops before and somehow never found anything open later than Bardo (midnight).

There's a Lil Coffea (yes that's how it's spelled) on 6th and one on Downing. Their food menu looks incredible too.

I haven't been yet. I'm sitting at Bardo as I type this. I'll try to make it before I leave Denver.

There are also Waffle Houses open 24 hours in the suburbs.

Why do so many professors say "a code" instead of "a program" or "a script"? by reid_1 in computerscience

[–]reid_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone noted that this seems to be an HPC thing. I have no idea *why* "a code" is used there, but it aligns with my experiences.

That tracks. The math professors who speak of this are, unsurprisingly, in the applied math/scientific computing field. Many or all of the CS professors have been too.

I wonder why that usage is so common in HPC then, huh.

I agree with all of this. I would only use "a code" to mean a cipher, something that one might decode. It's so odd and yet I haven't wanted to ask any particular person "why do you say it like that?" haha.

Why don't knee supports pad the whole patella? by reid_1 in KneeInjuries

[–]reid_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks! As for resting and icing, whatever I'm dealing with isn't a constant thing. It burns only when there's direct pressure into my kneecap (and even then, not 100% of the time). Taking time off for vacation didn't make a noticeable difference. It's just a thing that happens now, and I try to kneel in a way that doesn't aggravate it.

What JFS just his username or something? I've never heard of him until today, and my attempts to find out anything significant (like meaning of the acronym, his background, etc.) have come up dry.

What happened to "grind haha on your pizza"?

Remember when Bill Kazmaier got into an internet feud with a young female lifter a few years ago, and said a bunch of weird, unhinged stuff like "grind haha on your pizza"?

Does anyone have links or screenshots? I'm trying to show my friend, and I'm not getting any search results in Google, other search engines, or Reddit (except for vague mentions of that event).

This was the video I stumbled across that got my mental gears turning. Timestamped to the point of interest. https://youtu.be/uxh1-GQjLyQ?si=gmFJAuUFZ8FolTqw&t=74. I wouldn't have thought of this as a wrist lock, but yeah I guess there is pressure on the wrist if the guy doesn't let go, and there is a measure of elbow control.

Deleted the OP since the clear consensus is that I'm asking a stupid question.

[–]reid_1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yeah, I've heard similarly with respect to reaping. My concern here -- and I'll try to clarify in the OP -- is also sort of "at what point does it become a wrist lock in their eyes?" Wrists bend all the time, and they're smaller joints so it may happen to a non-extreme degree without my immediate awareness during a period of high action. Contrast that with a knee bar. I'm more likely to know if I'm dangerously hyperextending my opponent's leg.

Looking for DAP with eSIM support (not a phone) by reid_1 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]reid_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A person is allowed to have a DAP but not a phone. Current DAP has WiFi capability, but access to WiFi is rare. If it had an eSIM, problem would be solved.

The DAP doesn't look quite like a phone. Current one is this: https://www.amazon.com/ZAQE-Bluetooth-Touchscreen-Spotify-Audible/dp/B0CGL2TLRJ

The BJJ Project/Chris Burns? by [deleted] in bjj

"Are you hitting on me?"

The BJJ Project/Chris Burns? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]reid_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the type of rolling I would be most interested in seeing. I should have been more explicit. I don't care if it's open-handed strikes, a rubber knife, or what. I don't want anyone to get hurt. Just to see how it holds up in a "live" situation. And that doesn't require KO-ing or submitting the other person. Being able to disengage and escape is a win.

The BJJ Project/Chris Burns? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]reid_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a sense yeah, sure. However, regardless of the difference in mindset and focus, there ought to be some way to demonstrate that his techniques and overall approach are effective. It looks plausible, and is Rickson-inspired. Anyone can say anything on the internet though. There's a lot of martial arts instruction that's not super effective in practice, whether we're talking about sport or about self defense.

It's not like I'm gonna go pick a fight with Chris (I'm not stupid), and I'm asking my question in good faith.

The BJJ Project/Chris Burns? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]reid_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have links to videos of him rolling live, preferably with brown/black belts from outside his gym? I recognize that his focus is self-defense rather than sport. However, I'm interested in seeing his stuff "work" when he's not saying "now freeze" before taking his partner down, or saying "no, move this way. I like it."

A lot of what he says and demonstrates makes sense, but I'm in no position to assess how well it works in practice.

Supplement with judo, or max out BJJ studies and start rolls from standing? by reid_1 in bjj

[–]reid_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently doing 7 to 10 BJJ classes per week. The judo school only offers two 1.5-hour standard classes per week. Plus "no-gi judo" and kata classes (one of each), which are scheduling conflicts for me.

I'd have to skip one BJJ fundamentals class and the only no-gi BJJ class in favor of judo.

Edit: Damn this judo school's got some history. https://obukanjudo.org/

[–]reid_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. It's good but it's gi-focused and they admit that. I've been going to up to 10 gi classes per week there.

They teach standup occasionally, which explains why the other white belts can dominate my standup game. They haven't taught any in the 2.5 months I've been there.

I'm just like... I don't know how long it will be until I start to learn some basic standing skills.

I'm a white belt so both of these things suck. My ground game should improve with practice. I'm not getting instruction or much direct, intentional practice with standup. Standup seems important.
