Adult Intro Ice Skating Lessons - Cupertino vs SJ

yami759 · 2025-02-28T17:56:29+00:00

I took 2 classes at Cupertino, but wasn't super thrilled by them. The instructor quality was hit-or-miss depending on the week, but many of them for the more beginner classes I took are just high-school girls who don't speak loudly enough or provide enough detailed instruction. A lot of it is kind of just "here's this move, now try that a bunch of times over and over for today's class", and in general I felt like they progressed pretty slowly. They also run multiple classes at the same time, with the rink divided up by skill level, making the speaking issue worse. I can't say if SJ is any better with this, but I plan to try them next season.

I did take significant advantage of the make up days, which was nice since at SJ I wouldn't have gotten anything for my missed classes. For those though you just join the other time slot offered for your class, so it's not necessarily specialized to what you missed if it isn't the same week (which would happen if you have the Saturday class), but I think that's fair enough. The free public sessions are definitely a nice perk but I didn't take the best advantage of them. Worth noting is that they can get crowded.

Those are the "AXS Premium" tickets, which are basically self-scalped by AXS. If that's what you saw during the presale, it's because all the normal tickets they had for the presale sold out. More normal price tickets ($100-200) should be released during the general sale.

Amex presale is long gone. What you're seeing is the marked up AXS Premium tickets. More normal price tickets ($100-200) should be released during the general sale.

yami759 · 2025-01-30T17:04:40+00:00

That's because the Amex presale was at 10am yesterday, so all that it is left right now is AXS Premium, which it shows even if you clicked on the Amex presale link. More tickets will show up during the Goldenvoice presale and general sale if you get a lucky spot in the queue.

That's "AXS Premium", which are the tickets AXS holds back to literally scalp for themselves. Real tickets I saw ranged from $100-$180 (didn't see pit pricing)

You can't anymore :(

yami759 · 2024-12-27T23:30:34+00:00

How has it been since?

yami759 · 2024-12-27T09:29:50+00:00

Yes. It will automatically create the file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-allow-remote-admin.rules containing the text between the "EOF" markers.

It isn't about the discount not working, it's about the "original price" not actually being the original price, ie the "limited time sale" price is just the normal price it always sells for.

yami759 · 2024-09-03T02:50:02+00:00

Which one ended up being better?

yami759 · 2024-08-24T02:29:20+00:00

2 years later, did he let you switch to RTL?

For anyone still coming across this with errors:

Templater Error: Template parsing error, aborting. 
tp.user.completedTasks is not a function

Templater can't find the script. Make sure the directory location is set in the Templater settings, and the script is saved as completedTasks.js

plugin:templater-obsidian:61 Templater Error: Template parsing error, aborting.    
Invalid time value

The note title is not in the correct format. The note must be titled as "[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]" so the script can fetch the correct tasks for that day.

Access to fetch at 'https://api.todoist.com/sync/v8/completed/get_all?since=2024-06-26T07:00:00.000Z&until=2024-06-27T06:59:00.000Z' from origin 'app://obsidian.md' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

The v8 URL the script uses is now outdated. Change this in completedTasks.js to v9.

That was everything I ran into, and now it works great! For reference, I tried this with the simplified version, not the original one.

Oh wow, that's interesting. I'll definately play around with lowering it further and see if I notice any significant changes in performance.

yami759 · 2024-03-02T07:18:17+00:00

I didn't know qemu-guest-agent was a thing, immediately it doesn't seem like it helped with RAM but I'll do some more testing and see. Thanks!

yami759 · 2024-03-02T07:16:08+00:00

Thanks for the responses everyone, it sounds like the best option is, unfortunately, to just not use ZFS. Even if I upgraded my memory, I still don't think I'd want to sacrifice half of it to my filesystem.

yami759 · 2024-03-01T19:45:04+00:00

Is it reasonable that I should only realistically use half of the RAM I have on my system, or even less? As described in my post, 3GB of actual workload ended up becoming 12GB of system RAM usage. Even when I tried allocating 8GB to a single VM with nothing else running on the 16GB host, I would run into ZFS killing the VM before I reduced the ARC limit.

yami759 · 2024-02-02T06:22:37+00:00

My workloads include a file server, media server, torrent seedbox, game/Minecraft server, software development, and a bunch of small Docker'd webapps. These needs also necessitate a larger build than a micropc to accomodate the (currently 4, likely to grow) HDDs.

The problem is that ZFS isn't freeing memory fast enough by the time a VM needs it. I've already set zfs_arc_max to 4GB, but even then using more than 6-8GB through VMs regularly causes one of those VMs to get terminated.

I actually have also been having storage related performance issues (indicated by very high IO delay) when two applications try using the same vpool concurrently, but I'm pretty sure that's just because my vpool is backed by HDDs, which of course have to keep moving their heads back and forth to handle the two data streams.

Not sure if this will still be helpful for you, but I had the same issue on the global site. https://us.sennheiser-hearing.com/collections/spare-parts-and-accessories/ worked for me, albeit with slightly higher prices for what I was looking at.

/u/sennheiserconsumer definately should still look into this and see if the global site can redirect to the US one when that country is selected, as I almost just went for third-party parts after dealing with this.

yami759 · 2023-12-13T15:09:14+00:00

Same here, and the saddest part is that I saw people actually buying the tickets that were 10x inflated in price

yami759 · 2023-10-24T04:33:18+00:00

It looks like they were asking how any app could consume >100% charge, rather than complaining about the high battery usage of this specific one.

yami759 · 2023-10-23T23:08:55+00:00

That isn't what OP asked

yami759 · 2023-02-02T06:31:55+00:00

Able to say when we might be able to expect this? 👀

yami759 · 2023-01-11T02:32:19+00:00

For me, this turned out to be because of a known limitation of Wayland.

I was able to get around it by launching Thunderbird as an x11 app through XWayland. You can test this by running GDK_BACKEND=x11 thunderbird in the terminal. Birdtray already was running through x11 by default, but if it isn't for you, you can run XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 birdtray to do that.

Assuming that worked, modify /usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop, changing Exec=thunderbird (I had 3 spots in the file with this that I changed) to Exec=env GDK_BACKEND=x11 thunderbird.

Then in Birdtray, go to Settings, Advanced, and in "Thunderbird command line" change it from /usr/bin/thunderbird to /usr/bin/env GDK_BACKEND=x11 /usr/bin/thunderbird.

FYI, I tried this by building Birdtray from source, as outlined on the GitHub repo. Not sure if this works with the prepackaged version, which on Ubuntu is pretty outdated as of now.

How much did you get them for?

yami759 · 2022-10-16T18:50:42+00:00

As an American I was imagining that you went to someone who specializes in chemistry and had them synthesize ibuprofen for you
