safety meeting over here

Yeah, I get you on the tiny mountains, been snowboarding in buffalo region. Pro tip to annoy your friends from buffalo, tell them it's the Midwest.

I still believe fear is a major blocker for people to improve. Snowboarding is a sport that benefits from being relaxed and in control, being tense instead of loose makes progress much slower. Finding out how you can build your confidence is where to start. How scary are falls? Wear knee pads so you have a safe thing to fall on, and to save your knees(I'm a big fan of knee pads, I recommend g-form.) Learn how to slide and roll out of falls, I hurt myself less on the super steep trails because when I fall I slide instead of bounce off the ground.

Lots of beginners are afraid of their toe edge, this is because usually they try to balance on their toes. We shouldn't be relying on our calf muscles for that, since they are fast and twitchy. Instead, if we let our shins rest against the tongue of the boot, our slow strong thigh muscles are much easier to balance with.

Get a lesson. Youtube videos are amazing, I learn things from them all the time. But having someone good watch you ride can solve so many issues because they can see stuff your eyes can't.

Lastly, workout. Get in shape. You will be less likely to hurt yourself falling or getting up. You will also be able to preform snowboarding skills much easier with a well-developed body and will have a better understanding of how to feel your body position and move your body.

Sorry for that wall of text

I know a few trans or nonbinary folks. They either go by he, she, or they. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't. Then again I live in a weird progressive rural community.

But if someone asks me to refer to them a particular way, sure what not? It means more to them than it means to me.

I've taught snowboarding for like 12 years? The best advice it to get an understanding your fear. At some point along the line, my fear response has turned into an adrenaline response. So when I learned how to mountain bike this year, after a couple of falls I really started to make progress. The more fear becomes excitement, the faster you're going to learn. That being said, you want your fear to meet up with the actual danger of the situation, not exceed it, that's how you die in an avalanche. Confidence also fits in there too.

When I was training instructors last year, the clinic that seemed to help them out the most was when I filmed them riding. Get a friend to take videos of you, you'll try your hardest, and you'll be able to see where you need improvement (if you're following along with YouTube tutorials.)

The aspects have a little nub at the back for them to lever over. I looked them up, it doesn't look like they have that.

I've got a pair ride fuse for the front country and k2 aspect for the back country. They both use boa for tightening the liner, which I don't hate. Can the insano take crampons? I'm not a huge fan of the aspect

I wonder if they thought picking Big E to represent trump was ironic or not. Because the emperor made a bunch of mistakes that made everything a whole lot worse for a whole bunch of people. Like this is dystopian fiction we're talking about.

The orks are good, but only from their moral lens. Fighting=good, green=good, gits=bad, krumping gits=good. The only reason we think of them is good is because there's a lot of information on orc psychology, whereas we see the other races as more or less human instead of the aliens that they are.

Fuck i should help make the Warhammer communities here more active

Lol, I do wear shorts in winter. We have a lot of guns up here too. Probably more guns than people.

Umm, okay. It takes a long ass time to make a game. This will be a new untested studio. Even if they start making good games it's going to be years from now.

Are you a troll?

I think one of the problems is women who die because they have a miscarriage and can't get medical support. This is something completely avoidable, but the laws are catching these people in the crossfire.

Red flag. Bad opsec. I wouldn't trust someone who trusts me.

The point of social media is to interact with other people, asking questions is a good way to do that. I asked you because you sounded like you knew what you were talking about. I did Google it and there is no good evidence that it causes cancer. But they think it might increase risk. It's very hard to study that.

Not once did I mention eating meat. I was a vegetarian for 20 years, I eat meat very occasionally nowadays.

How much does charred food actually increase risk of cancer? And what type of cancer?

For some reason smokey slightly burnt food tastes really good to me and I'm not going to stop eating it.

This will have impacts, I just don't think it'll be as bad as everyone is thinking. Corporate Japan can be equally hands on and hands off. Fromsoft may be allowed to keep on chugging because they make money.

Emergency situation: you're in the UK, it's breakfast and you need something to put on your toast.

Can't leave a negative review if you're dead

Sabayon Linux. I'm not sure if it's still releasing updates, the main website is dead. It was based on Gentoo and later funtoo, but had a package manager of precompiled binaries. You could still use emerge if you wanted to. Definitely a weird and interesting distro

Blend OS is trying to do the declarative nixos thing but with an arch base. That's pretty cool.

ClearOS was Intel's attempt at an immutable os. From what I remember it was really fast.

Edit: actually it clear Linux not clearOS. Edit: also clear Linux is stateless. I don't know, there's a lot about it I don't understand

Like king Leopold congo? Like where soldiers would only get more bullets if they could prove that the bullet they used killed a person?
