I had a big ass hill at my childhood home. Right at the bottom of our driveway. I would hit crazy dangerous speeds on that thing just to see how fast i could get.
One time I aimed badly and was going into a ditch. I tell you, I pulled off a perfect sideways akira slide... right into that ditch. Unfortunately it's really hard to control or stop a slide. So for about .1 seconds I bet I looked really cool. Before I hobbled back home with a busted up bike an some good scrapes and bruises. It's a minor miracle that it wasn't worse. I had a speedometer on that bike and could break 30mph on that hill.
Point being, you can totally make it happen, just don't use the breaks and don't expect to stop like he did. Maybe after you eat shit and break your bike 1000 times you'll actually be able to nail it.
Yeah absolutely agree. I always but hydroflask bottles, but never through hydroflask. The exact same bottles and exact same lids are sold under a rolling list of random Chinese companies like this. Usually these companies do have real names, they're just super Chinese and not worth properly localizing.
Hell, I recently got a new fancy video monopod. The official US name brand that sells it is harlowe. It sells for about a grand
I bought this exact same model from "yc onion" with a nonsensical name the "pineta pro" (said "pine-tah") for less than half that.
I literally brought mine into a store after realizing how similar they are and compared them side by side. Even the stamp and sticker placement is identical. Like they clearly come from the exact same factory just with a different color and a different name printed into the same box on the side.
Why the fuck would anyone pay the 60% price hike just to have a known US company sell it to you? The really shitty thing is that I'm not sure how b and h is allowed to sell it. When I talked to my local camera store they said that they weren't allowed to sell it because they were a brand partner to the US brand and couldn't sell non us products without getting fined or dropped by their suppliers. Maybe b and h is just big enough to not have to care anymore, but that's just going to be one more nail in the already dying camera store market.
Well yeah, they could crank out a whole episode in like a day back then. These days people expect every episode to have the quality of Hollywood movie.
The nature of tv has changed. The gap between tv and movie has largely closed. People lament that we are moving away from traditional Hollywood movies, but I'd argue that we're more moving away from traditional television with premium tv now taking the place of movies in many ways.
It's not that people like stories less, they just seem to prefer a series of 1 hour movies told in 8 parts over a single 90 minute plotline.
Television used to be sooooo much different than Hollywood. There used to be almost no overlap in skills or technique. I used to work in TV, and what I used to do just isn't done anymore. The closest thing out there now to old tv is Saturday night live. They still kinda do it in that style.
sure, it won't help them recruit, but it will help them hold their existing members. when they have evidence of the "persecution" they face it makes it easier for them to discredit the negative info online.
i know for certain that this is at least the Mormon playbook.
i guess I'm my mind "quite good" is better than "good"
like "quite" is a synonym to "very" in this context as I understand it. maybe to a lesser degree, but it's certainly a positive modifier. i would use a similar scale if those two were swapped.
maybe that's just my dumb american vocab or something, but i would be very confused by that scale as it stands.
nah, it's mostly the artists and writers in my life. myself included. the seo sloppers adopted ai fast because they had no love for what they did anyway. they're the same sloppers.
