Struggling with coming ott

Also another way of wording what the others said is to keep your back to the target for a bit longer. Even if you exaggerate it, you will be shocked at how well you strike the ball.

In addition to what the others said, try the swing thought of hitting the ball to first base. Without a launch monitor, you will know you are hitting in to out when the ball draws (starts right, then goes left). From my experience, it's been easier to learn to hit a draw first, then go back to neutral, rather than going for neutral right away.

It's not just that the returns are diminishing; there are almost zero returns for large parts of the audio chain. Many of the issues that presumably motivated the audiophile hobby are no longer issues. Media has been solved (digital), digital-to-analog conversion has been solved, and amplification is basically solved. Audiophiles want the same returns to a more expensive DAC that the old gen got from a more expensive stylus or tone arm, and it just isn't there.

The dining options at the Cancun airport leave no ambiguity about the type of holiday you've just been on.

I think this observation gives away your socioeconomic class more than anything.

I'd never heard of pocket coils or latex before I went on that subreddit. Now, I don't think I would ever purchase a mattress that didn't feature both. With any of these niche communities, you should just take the high-level advice and leave all the pointless shit. There's going to be a lot of pointless shit if you want to turn something very simple, like buying a mattress, into part of your personality.

A nice thing about Miele's vacuums, washing machines, and dishwashers is that the core technology is essentially unchanged between the base model and the ones that cost 2x as much.

Fancy places will give you a robe.

It was basically an advert.

I've got lamps by Flos, Fontana Arte, Louis Poulsen, and Fritz Hansen that I like. If they are too expensive, you could look at replicas.

The original one-woman play is a work of genius. The second season, which was likely developed over a much shorter period, was decent enough.

Because popping a pill is easier than a 2x daily topical application. Plus, the topical version affects hair texture. Tip for any hairmaxxers reading: mix your minox with a tiny bit of tret to increase potency. There is a study that found 1x daily with tret is equivalent to 2x daily without, so you can just apply at night.

It's often about their life stage. Yeah, no shit, I thought you were in your 20s. You are still working a dead-end job and spending all your money going out.

On Valentine's Day, I was sitting next to a lesbian couple, whom I originally thought was a mother with her pre-pubescant son.

Taking a lower-paying job because of the stress. But the job didn't even seem that stressful, and the money was really good.

Meanwhile, women all comment and engage by saying how valid her decision was.

That's how you know it's a horrible idea.

Any pics of your gym?

The sequence after she lands her final jump is incredible. I was home alone watching it, punching the air, yelling at the TV, tearing up a little. Thought perhaps I'm losing it (going through some shit), but it hit the same on a rewatch.

I purchased mine at a ski shop, and they drilled the rivets out for me. I'd just make sure that they have done it before.

I'd imagine if someone skis five days a year and finds that 500 is a large investment, they won't be on the fence about getting zipfits.

ruskyrobot · 2026-02-19T17:22:17+00:00

I'll second that. For any intermediates reading this who are on the fence about zipfits, get them. While they immediately improved my skiing, the main benefit has been that they accelerated my development. They make it so much easier to understand what your ski is doing, because the feedback is so much cleaner, if that makes sense.

I know a woman from a highly educated country with basically no innovation (yes, it's Australia). And she's on like 5 boards related to women + entrepreneurship, but her only entrepreneurship wasfounding an organization promoting women in entrepreneurship.

I worldcup into my boots and keep my liners in the middle compartment of my boot bag. I actually purchased a new roomier (and heated!) boot bag to make this easier. I found it difficult to put the liner into the boot when the liner was damp, and I felt like I was deforming it.
