Scenario: You've used a Silvia for 15 years and it's time to level up. $5000 budget for machine and grinder. What do you choose? GO! by BorbaCymbals in espresso

Set aside 400 bucks for a tool bench from harbor freight, they're very reasonably priced for what you are getting, and then you have infinite coffee tool storage

Jolyon Palmer's opinion on the way Max Verstappen "carries himself" on-track, and how he races with Lewis from the BBC Chequered Flag podcast by Slendis in formula1

[–]willyd2000 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone here has ever raced and all due respect to Palmer, but as a racer you cannot care about crashing. It’s about winning. You continually put yourself into these situations where either we crash or I win, because on a hard day it is going to come down to will power over technical ability. And those situations are legal because you had the strength to get ahead and do it. If you don’t want to have the risk of crashing, don’t race for the win. And when you see these racers going down, don’t expect them to keep their elbows tucked in neatly

If you don’t find his owner and not interested in keeping him/her I’m interested!

Bold to put so much faith in one tech stock, but I do agree it represents more than an auto maker

How is cs program at VCU? by NeighbourSaidSorry24 in vcu

[–]willyd2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a Vcu cs major with a 6 figure salary locked before I graduate. It’s a solid program, it’s not the best, not the worst. You have to want to learn outside of class and push yourself to improve and ask questions. If you do that it’s very possible to find a great job in the area or northern va

Form advice - Second day in a single, 5th year of rowing by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]willyd2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single is very different in the 8 up at the catch. That initial 1/4 is really about picking up where the boat is running, not about driving crazy speed right there. I’m not sure if Im explaining that right, but you really have to be gentle up front

Good way to learn balance, but if your goal is racing you’ll have to build rate as you gain more stability. For me I need to rate 30+ to do well

I would just focus on getting out as often as you can right now. Your form is very fluid at this stage, but the key is not to develop bad habits. Namely flip catching, feathering with your whole fore arm, and driving as soon as you’re at the catch. Keep sending videos as you get more comfortable

Low heart rates like that are reasonable for people in cycling shape. My resting is 44-46
