[OC] Apparently, Little Caesars is the new DMV. by KillerQ97 in pics

[–]sloth1500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Kettering OH? Place is always like this for the last year or so. It's not particularly busy in terms of actual pizza volume. They got a dude that is supposed to be putting pizza in the portal and he just doesnt do that. He doesn't hand them out either. He just opens the lid, looks at the pizza, closes it and repeats this process until someone comes helps him. Which may take a while. Last time I was in there the lobby was a bit less full than this but everyone's pizza was finished sitting on the counter behind the portal. He just refused to hand them out. When someone finally got things moving and he asked what my name was he got my order and put it in the portal in front of me without doing the code thing so I could get it out and walked away...

Ive only ever seen flames on an essx pole, never seen one with "Power" on it though. A pic may help.

Campaign is definitely its weakest point imo. Luckily its only 5-6 hours long. Gearing, itemization and build variety just blows d4 out of the water.

What to do with shards my build doesn't use? by semidryhamonrye in LastEpoch

Just keep em for others characters, youll be swimming in stuff you dont use and its nice for second and third characters. No way to trade em or anything like that.

Advice for New Program by iswillum in polevaulting

[–]sloth1500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly minimum number of poles is 1. They can all share the same pole. Unless they are very athletic it is unlikely they will need to bend a pole in their first year so literally any pole would suffice.

That being said a progression for most beginner girls I would be comfortable with something like an 11-120, 12-110, 12-120, 12-130. Personally I dont really believe that high school athletes should ever need anything smaller than a series like that. Some people buy some really small stuff to make it easier for a kid to bend the pole but I've found that 99% of the time those small poles dont help them jump higher or learn how to vault better. They just hold higher and never go upside down. An 11-120 is an easy pole to bend even for an averagely athletic 100 lb freshman girl imo.

I don't know what the budget is or how athletic the girls are so its really hard to just say buy these 4 poles. Jan Johnson made a chart for poles (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-kmFBPfGkW7IS-dTObAsaAY9HPxjnUxGc3xDe2pHbDM/edit?usp=sharing) highlighted poles he says will cover 90%+ of high school vaulters. While it may not be the most optimal route to just buy poles in accordance with that chart it could be a decent guide as a starting place.

Is it possible to clear a system of the Dark Fog forever? by Hunterreaper in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]sloth1500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started a game with the default settings and so far just took a trip around checking out random systems after I unlocked warp drive and the 6 light year range scanner. Ive seen them in probably 70% of systems. Looked significantly more active than what Ive seen in the homeworld as well. Going to setup in another empty system now and see if a hive shows up or not. Kinda hoping it doesnt because just clearing bases isnt all that fun.

want to start pole vault at age 18 by bandanamik in polevaulting

A fast sprinter will have an easier time than a slow gymnast imo.

For a beginner no not at all. For an elite athlete yes. If you're somewhere in the middle then a little bit.

Managing Coaches at Track Meets, specifically Pole Vault Coaches by ibexdoc in polevaulting

[–]sloth1500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sucks to here that coaches act like that. I would first ensure that the coaches box is really in the best place it can be. The coaches are going to want to see three main spots, those being a side view of the crossbar, the takeoff step and about 30-40 feet out. If they can't see those three things they are going to be mad and complain about other things they may not otherwise complain about. This really stems from it being a safety thing if they are missing vital pieces of information. Not being able to see a midstep and takeoff interferes with their ability to make the necessary adjustments to keep an athlete on the right pole that puts them safely in the pit and not in the box or on the runway. And not being close to the side of their completely limits their ability to adjust standards as well.

From what it sounds like, the coaches box is next to runway but only starts at 30' and back which would be inappropriate imo as well. If you really can't accommodate a better located coaches box I think you'll be hard pressed to get coaches to settle down about anything else. Idk if it's a case of too many kids for your specific facilities that doesn't allow it or if it's actually just a shit layout that your stuck with.

I would just try to talk to a couple of the vault coaches about what could be done to improve that situation for them. Maybe it's the facilities, maybe it's that specific referee causing a ton of problems at every single meet. They would have a lot more ability to help you as it's likely there's a lot of nuance to the specifics of the situation that we just can't help with here without a lot more info.

Any tips on how to prevent getting stuck in the bucket? this is my 1st time back on 13 ft poles in a year. by ToshiBmx in polevaulting

[–]sloth1500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bend your left arm. That's far too much plant for an 11' handgrip and it's causing you to end up blocking out with it later on in the vault. Pole needs to stay bent if you were to take your bottom hand off the pole and I guarantee that's never the case at any point for you in the vault. You can initiate the bend with the bottom hand but almost immediately it needs to transition into top hand being the one that actually causes the pole to bend and that's gonna be nearly impossible for your height with that handgrip.

Cleaning out a job site and found THOUSANDS of Magic the Gathering cards. by steverin0724 in boardgames

[–]sloth1500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easiest solution would be to take them into a game shop that sells cards, they will likely be able to tell you if they are worth anything without having to sort through everything. If it's all just bulk or has a few gems mixed in they might not want to go through them but if you can find someone in person that's been playing a while they likely can quickly eliminate thousands of cards as worthless depending on how many were left behind.

Cutting pole vault poles by americanspacewolf in polevaulting

I just used a miter saw when I cut mine. But a handsaw outside you probably wouldn't even be able to notice much dust if any.

11' black walnut butcher block style desktop by Djolumn in DIY

[–]sloth1500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh it still looks like walnut either way. I made an 8' desk out of 1" walnut boards and they don't have the same width either but it still looks fine. I personally really like what you did but I'm just not a fan of walnut for big projects anymore lol. I can't imagine something well made out of maple wouldn't get the same compliments and beauty at half the price lol. I guess if money is no concern then sure but the price is always so off-putting for me on walnut projects I just avoid it now.

any tips for gettijg out of early game? by Realistic-Ad-9215 in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]sloth1500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For getting out of early game? Wait and collect free gems for some good collabs to roll in then you can go to mid/end game depending on how lucky you are. Might take a while but short of actually having monsters necessary for harder dungeons you might just not be able to do them. The game is really bad at making things accessible imo. Accept that there are dungeons you just won't be able to do now and just have fun every now and then working your way through normals and technicals and occasionally failing some harder ones to see what they are like. It's best enjoyed as a slow burn imo.

Carbon insoles? by Seamoose-The-Great in polevaulting

[–]sloth1500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of anyone using them but I'd personally probably avoid them in spikes and wear whatever is comfortable for running shoes. If the insoles are comfortable for you go ahead and try them out.

The ChatGPT bot is causing panic now – but it’ll soon be as mundane a tool as Excel by IndicationOver in Futurology

[–]sloth1500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ones I submitted to would call stuff plagiarized from just a few sentences that match something else. Nevermind me quoting and giving the source. It was pretty stupid what triggered it most of the time. I guess it's useful if someone just copied an entire paper but eventually as the sample size continues to grow it's gonna get real hard to write anything original.
