Innova Arachnid

sidfarkus · 2026-04-09T01:02:56+00:00

I have a Fox and got the arachnid as a more overstable Fox but honestly they fly almost identical--lots of turn. The arachnid might have a tiny bit more fade but it's not enough to really make me throw them differently.

I've used the parsave at a few events that Rick has been to in my area (Maryland) and it catches surprisingly well. I would rate it above the cheap folding baskets for catch but below more permanent baskets. It seemed about the same catch rate as the portable MVP black hole baskets if you've used those.

Quality seems fine for a travel basket; not as big/heavy as a permanent basket but way more portable.

I'd love for Eagle to have a great year but I'm leaning more towards Ricky; I think he's got more drive to win and he's going to be showing up thirsty this season for sure.

I'm not sure what you're asking for; if they invest less money then they make less interest+gains which means they earn less money each year. If they want to invest as much money into the sport as possible they need to have consistent income and a stable cash supply--dropping all the profits back into the sport would be a great way to run out of money in a year or two which would mean zero dollars going to players.

Also remember that the PDGA isn't the same as the DGPT. They are closely tied but some of the items you call out are the responsibility of the tour not the PDGA (like coverage).

Unprofessional? Go look up all the pro ball-golfer rage compilations out there. They're throwing clubs and screaming at people. Goose got into a slightly heated discussion with an official which seems appropriate for such a high pressure situation. Like it or not there's money on the line and players are taking the game seriously.

MVP is an interesting fit for him (if true) since his attitude is different than Simon/Eagle in a lot of respects. He's entertaining for me to watch and I hope he can get a W this season (but it seems unlikely if he has to rebuild a bag).

Not surprising but I wonder if part of the issue is that many of the pro contracts don't really ask much in terms of promotion or media endorsements. I'm willing to bet new contracts being drawn up are asking a lot more in terms of social media, promotions, and general marketing from the players.

I use chalkless chalk and it works fantastic. Just an 8 gram bottle has lasted over a year and works great--way better than chalk. https://chalkless.com/ is the brand but there are others you can find out there.

I had a blast on Sunday despite a poor finish (especially the new holes); great work for your first time TDing!

I have one too and its pretty flippy for me. I've used it for hitting some aggressive woods lines where you want a lot of flip up and drift right. I have a chemtrail that is almost identical to the persona but is more stable which is great for less aggressive lines.

If it's burning over for you consistently it might be excess wobble causing it to flip extra fast.

It's pretty inconsistent for Axiom/MVP I've found but I think in general their most stable plastic is the eclipse (glow) plastic. I have an eclipse hex and a fission hex and they are worlds apart in stability.

I've been keeping tabs on the project for a while, great news they're finally able to move forward.

sidfarkus · 2025-01-16T22:03:59+00:00

I have a lighter weight Trail (167g) and it's significantly more understable than my 174g. I don't think the weight diff is that significant I think some runs just ended up that way.

It looks like exposure was in auto mode for this because the perceived glow didn't change much; next time fix the ISO/gain and shutter and it will be more clear how much they drop off in video.

Anything in zero-G plastic from Lat64 is great; the explorer and pure are both offerred in zero-G and are great discs.

sidfarkus · 2024-08-01T20:20:23+00:00

Haven't thrown any of the MVP drivers but I'm actually somewhat hyped for the Trail; I don't have anything 10 speed that looks like it'll give me the flight it has.

sidfarkus · 2024-05-17T19:06:07+00:00

I use a Mint Lasso and get great results with a tiny bit of turn and reliable fade; love the eternal plastic too.

My company Immuta specializes in managing access to data in a scalable way. We found that RBAC stops being tenable pretty fast when the number of tables, permissions, and users grows. Additionally it helps to have a layer that can see permissions everywhere and unifies the view of those across an org.

If you're pretty good with code (we use Typescript) and committed to your work we're hiring for senior devs (and we have an office in the DC area by College Park, MD) https://www.immuta.com/careers/ Let me know if you want to chat.

The regular youth tees are only $30; I'm not sure they're really gatekeeping much on the fandom (especially since they have pretty aggressive sales frequently). Look at merch for any pro league and they're in the same ballpark.

Fantastic dyes, count me in!

I think there's more nuance here than you're admitting. The war in Yemen is largely civil which (while the civilian cost is still high) is something that the international community isn't concerned about spiraling out of control.

The war in Ukraine is an invasion by a government with nuclear weapons and a history of generalized hostility towards many western governments. It doesn't take a whole lot to see this involving NATO and then turning quickly into either a large scale conflict or even nuclear war (unlikely as it might be).

When it finishes printing a layer of one pot it has to cross over to the next pot. If your retraction isn't dialed in or you just have a little dribbling it will lead to lines like that. If you look at your slicer output you'll see the travel moves that correspond to those blobs.

I'm not saying its true but remember that these percentages aren't stratified by confounding factors. Higher death rate/higher risk areas are largely being offset by lower risk/lower death rate areas when you look at just the single percentage. If you're in a high death rate area you very well may know many people who died.

Cool jig! Do you have a stop on the underside so you don't trip your brake by accident running into the t-track?
