Same and I agree- it’s basically all team based.

Regardless, as an American reading this thread,it’s strange how common an occurrence in France squatting seems to be.

The rail tricks are simple if you just think of whether it’s your toes (fs) or heel (bs) facing the obstacle and ignore any body turn motion.

Yo! That’s awesome you’re working o skatevideosite! O just read your guys interview on Jenkem [0]. I used your old data years back for an article for The Pudding [1] years ago - invaluable resource. Growing up I would spend so much time on

And these are just for street! Transition has its own set of weird names (losi, andrecht, g-pivot, etc.), including some slight street overlaps (varial, pivot, etc.). I have a little passion project where we log pro’s tricks and interview t

Big trucks are the perfect example of untaxed negative externalities running free.

I did my undergrad at Cal and worked in a research lab Fernando worked in as well. I remember some of the postdocs were very nice and approachable. Others were very pretentious and cold. One thing the other undergrads and myself would alway

Would love reading a paper discussing the process leading to people publicly advocating for people they’ve never met. Great PR machines, media.

I’ve spent the last year between New York and California and I have felt zero authoritarian measures in my life. Not one aspect of my life has changed aside from donning a mask when I go to and from a public building. And even that is a per

Why is this post getting flagged? Whether you agree or not, hiding it won’t make it go away.

Ignoring your weird tax increase comment, here’s what OP mentioned: “ The two media outlets assessed the cables and found, among many other revelations, that the "U.S. Embassy in Haiti worked closely with factory owners contracted by L

As nice as that sounds in writing, it’s entirely not true. Many innovations were stumbled on by pure chance, or were logical conclusions from observation-based studies. Not to mention, this man has innovated nothing. His career is entirely

Can’t see how being an asshole and being innovative are intrinsically linked. On the other hand, being an asshole and [taking credit for other’s work, stepping on others to climb the corporate ladder, throwing others under the bus, other so

From wiki: In August 2006, Perelman was offered the Fields Medal for "his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow", but he declined the award, stating:

Awful and confusingly pretentious take. Being able to see the desired outcome alongside the steps required to achieve said outcome is far more effective for fitness and cooking than reading about them. Not to mention the time saved, ease of

That thread is supplementary to this thread, which discusses safety. But I’d be interested in the improvements on road wear from new ev trucks - I haven’t heard of any. To be fair, they’re definitely better for the environment. And as someo

Unnecessary may simply be the % of use by the truck dedicated to just commuting, where that % is so high as to not justify the negative externalities imposed by such a vehicle. Pretty standard stuff in actuarial work. Anecdotally, my compac

For the overwhelmingly majority of owners, large trucks are completely unnecessary. Non-owners effectively subsidize them when you factor in the huge negative externalities they impose, including on the environment, the wear and tear on roa

Deaths lag so the point is irrelevant. You could just as easily argue it points in favor of vaccines.

Yeah, no worries. Unfortunately, the fact that Starcraft 2 has no such behavior cooked into it may actually be why it’s seen such a decline in popularity :,(

Not disagreeing with your larger point, but what grinding exists in Starcraft 2? Been playing for a decade and can’t think of anything. I’m not sure who invented loot boxes, but that’s another (unmentioned) issue entirely.

This is an odd, blanket statement considering 1. The quality/longevity of their games 2. The variance in genres they produce games in. Comparing Starcraft to Candy Crush may help elucidate how off you are with the vape/fb comparis

Ironically this is the most needlessly toxic phrasing of an opinion I’ve seen in this thread. Hypocritically, it’s whining about the very topic it claims it’s toxic to whine about.
