Pizza / plow stop is not enough for serious hills (or really any hill). People do steep downhills all the time with no need for heel brakes but you must know how to do the serious stops: T stop, magic slide, powerstop, and parallel/hockey stop.

imagine banning one of the dopest skaters to ever do it. wb!

Yessssss

Axs was evil. Got to front of queue multiple times for it to say your session expired -> your queue ID was rejected, no reason why 🙃

edit: switched to ticketmaster for brooklyn n2 and the only thing left was floor tix at $554 noooooooooo ty sorry liv see you next time lmao 😭

MAN i wish i saw inspo like this when i was frame and wheel shopping. so gorgeous!!

honestly might just not be for you. i also learned to skate on k2 softboots then bought the fr1 as my first hardboot and had to return it, i couldn't find a way to make them comfortable (i didn't have a problem with the heel like you but with the width at the base of the toebox). certain boot shapes just work super well for some people and feel awful for others. a pebble under the heel is a weird sensation -- possibly pull the liner and look at what's under? for the strap, there ideally should be a bit of a gap when you lean forward. basically when you're in your ideal skating position (knees over toes) you should be basically resting against the strap. it shouldn't be so tight that there's no room to lean forward at the ankle at all. but if it's not able to get that tight without the strap bottoming out, you might have to cut length on it. i would recommend trying another brand though and seeing if your feet are happier.

i appreciate this as the real answer that i (and probably OP) was looking for. when you shoot compounds, it really is unnecessary; with good form you never get string slap ever. but on the contrary with recurves, even with perfect form string slap can be expected. thank you!

THIS IS FRYING ME

Excited but is this not giving assault horizon vibes to anyone else?? I do not like the walking around the ship and press F to eat lunch one bit 😭

Long shot, but does anyone have one of these citation needed scarves[1] that were sold on the Wikipedia store about a decade ago, and wanting to sell? I always wanted one when I was young but by the time I had an adults income they were no longer sold :) Figured I would ask!

what kind of desktop mcps do you have with claude? you could probably set up a cloud lambda to forward to your local servers, but question is if it's useful to have poke use your desktop mcps or not.

this is probably not what you want to hear but i am just making more money. in CA right now and trying to figure out how to afford $1-1.5M homes, moving back to CT and affording a $400-500k home is my fallback option. my parents home that they bought in 2009 for $217k is currently valued at $400k which is just ridiculous. it's ridiculous all around.

i'll try to give a couple honest reasons as someone who loves C# but hasn't used it professionally in 5+ years because it's the never the best tool for the problem. Just my read on why this happens.

• If you're writing a script, using a scripting language is quicker, this is plain. Python or shell scripting.
• If you're writing a server or some kind of network involved application that needs better-than-Python performance, Golang has more batteries, simpler compilation, and easier deployment. Async is ridiculously easy, adding/installing deps is way easier, and you get statically linked self contained binaries by default.
• If you need even more performance than that, C# and Golang both fall down and you need C++ or Rust anyway.
• If you're writing frontend, Razor and Blazor are cool, but earnestly why would you hinge your project on a binding layer when you could just write JS for both the server and frontend with React/Next. The ecosystem it just much more mature.
• If you're writing cross platform native apps, MAUI is cool, but still immature compared to Flutter.

All this on top of developing outside of VS with dotnet CLI still has sharp edges that get you even after so many years, and it's just never the right tool. For Unity, with its deep integration, I still love it, and writing C# for Unity is a pure joy.

This is the one

Object Oriented programming for mechanical engineers is an insane concept lmao. The fact that it's being taught in C++ is even more funny. That's like if I was a computer science student and randomly had a module on incompressible fluids.

C++ is really only a good* language experience on Linux. On Windows and MacOS, compiling code is an arcane process because those operating systems are designed heavily for nontechnical users. Thus, things like terminals and system paths and linker paths (don't worry about what these are), that you need to do C++ development are hidden. For development, the makers of the OS's have given you something called an Integrated Development Environment -- or IDE -- that is their blessed way of compiling C++ on that platform. On Windows it's VIsual Studio and MacOS it's a program called XCode (not Visual Studio for Mac, that's why Visual Studio for Mac is so janky). Both of these act way beyond regular programs like Solidworks or Autodesk -- they're deeply ingrained with the system and have access to things and can do things that you can't do by yourself. It's stupid. But that's how they do it.

This is why compiling C++ is so different on Windows and Mac. They both have their bespoke systems. They're getting better about making it less bespoke and now you can do things like compile with CMake on both systems (that's a cross platform C++ compiler-helper-type tool) but it still is not great.

I'm sorry you have to learn C++ lol. The best thing I could recommend to you is you can practice coding C++ online with something like Compiler Explorer (https://godbolt.org/). It's a tool that's often used for looking at what C++ code is being compiled into, but you can also use it as an online C++ compiler. On the left menu, click "Add New" and then click "Executor only". You should get a new window where, when you type in a valid C++ program, you get the output. It'll be a lot faster than trying to learn how to set up a working C++ environment on Mac for a beginner. Good luck!

thanks, will be crafting these at home

Oh sweet, cloud hosted platforms! This is great, thank you!

Ha, appreciate you digging this up. I've actually been here since January and I live in Venice .... right on the beach :) I love it.

Many skates that will grow with you as you get better don't come with heel brakes (because a lot of people are buying them as their second or third skate and don't need it) but all of them still support heel brakes, you just buy it separately. They should be $20 or less.

Most "stock" frames (the ones that come with the boot) are designed precisely for the wheel size they ship, and don't leave any room to try other wheel sizes. You can check your skate to see how much clearance you have but it's rare.

Many custom frames (endless, wizard, etc) support multiple wheel size configurations, so then you could, yes. For example the Endless 90 frame can do 4x90mm, 3x100mm, and 3x110mm.

lol i'm pretty sure i had the 25 although this was 7 years ago now. the strat was check in for lunch and just stay until dinner = 2 meals for the price of 1
