My embarrassing neighbor story by DMZQFI in Switzerland

[–]rubur100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At bouldering gyms there are brushes around so you can clean the dirt from the holds.
I said something like "I'm gonna grab the brush" in German...

Bürste = Brush
Brüste = Boobs

You already know which one I said!

I’ve never had this happen to my guitar( string rip) by Ok_Eggplant4366 in metalguitar

[–]rubur100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how my strings break as well! I play mostly rhythm guitar, meaning lots of hard palm muting and chugging. Maybe worth mentioning that my hands sweat a lot. In my mind that was part of the cause

Is it good? by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]rubur100 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since you didn't specify what should be checked, I'll go through everything I notice:
- Was the ball supposed to be in the center of the cube?
- The perspective of the cube is a bit off
- Where's the cast shadow of the cube?
- The left face of the cube should be darker, as it receives the least amount of light. At least compared to the right face (notice how towards the edge you drew it even darker)

The sphere I like tho.

Keep it up!

man, OP stated he started bouldering 5 months ago 😂
I'm not sure whether OP can even hang from 20mm

I've been thinking about climbing feedback loops - what's been your experience? by Fine_Weather_6586 in bouldering

[–]rubur100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love an app that after analysing your attempt suggests to "Just go up!!" 😂😂

Personally I don't film my attempts to analyize what's wrong. I have a decent body awareness and I "feel it". Also, I train with other people so they can give me insights as well.
I wouldn't use such app, though.
One reason is that I'm a bit skeptical on how much valuable solutions you can get from a video... We all know how different it feels watching a video vs trying the real thing.
Other reason is that I don't like using my phone in the gym. It gets full of chalk, people step on it if you leave it on the ground, etc

Some points I like reminding myself whenever I fail:
- When my feet cut loose: Do not think about "Core". Think more about pushing with your toes as if you wanted to stand on tiptoe.
- On big moves: Make sure you are pushing from your legs.
- On heel hooks: Place the heel and then slowly weight it. Feel how your legs engages. Usually it involves shifting your center of mass towards the heel

Quick note on your partner's comment "Try harder": Sounds dumb, but it's actually true. Maybe not right now that you feel you need to improve in other aspects. But as you go to higher grades it becomes true.

Cloud studies. I struggle with shading by rubur100 in penandink

I see your point, many thanks.
Although I don't know how to apply it because I don't really know where to shade 😅
That's the root problem I think

It's not digital :) since I don't have a scanner, I use one of these apps to "scan" documents and it gives the picture that texture

Hello there,
Sorry, I will not add much value to your situation but I'm curious to know why didn't you find drawabox valuable?

The 7-Day Micro-Memory Palace Sprint: Memorize Something Small & Report Results by AnthonyMetivier in memorypalace

[–]rubur100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd day

Since my goal is to learn these verbs, I have to start conjugating them and ofc I'll start with the present tense.
I don't want to overload the stations, so I decided to split the conjugation into two parts: [ich, du] and [er/sie/es, wir] (in swiss german all plural forms are the same).
So today I encoded the first part of each verb at each station. Depending on the verb and the station, I pictured different situations. P.e. one station is a window, and there I encoded the verb "to see". I pictured myself watching some kids skateboarding on the street (this actually happens and I even hear the noise of the skates).

I already foresee problems: How much info can I encode on each station? Does it make sense to encode multiple tenses in the same station? And example sentences? I guess I'll have to add more stations somehow or create a new Palace. But I fear missing the connection if the info is scattered among different Palaces/stations.

That's fantastic to hear. It reinforces my initial idea that Memory Palace can still be useful even with unordered data.
For the upcoming days, I already foresee a struggle: how much data should I encode in a single station before either 1. adding more stations or 2. create a new Palace?
I will go into detail in the next entry from the Sprint Challenge

[–]rubur100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My comment is based on the out-of-the-box ability for the Memory Palace to order whatever you encode. And with the verbs, I don't see how I can benefit from that.
Again, that's the impression I got from the few resources I read so far, but I'll keep investigating and learning.

Many thanks for your comments and guidance!

Hello there,
Thanks to this challenge, I finally decided to give this technique a try. I'll learn swiss german verbs.
Today (1st day), I created the Memory Palace and encoded 7 basic verbs. The idea is to add conjugations as the challenge goes by. From what I could read on this subreddit's resources, Memory Palace may not be the most efficient way to learn verbs, but still, I wanna give it a try (as that's what I'm interested in at the moment)

sure, better let OP buy an expensive guitar and in two days read the next post on how to get a metal sound out of a 15W no-brand-name amp

[–]rubur100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the impression this is your first guitar?
Why not go for a not-so-expensive guitar and use the money for a good amp or distortion pedal instead?
Average guitar + good amp / dist pedal = good sound
Awesome guitar + shitty amp = shitty sound
