I was pleasantly surprised to see that Big Bern destroyed Hilldog last night.  Once I saw that he wasn't a gun grabber like Hillary I became a little bit more at ease if he were to win.

bernie is a beast

btw there's like 0 gun grabbers. obama was supposed to be the for real this time gun grabber.. look how that turned out. lol

i dont think he destroyed her unfortunately. he needs to get better at answering the gun questions.. that's one area where he's always too passive. he needs to be alot more aggressive in explaining why you shouldnt be able to sue a gun manufacturer who is making a legal product. i don't get liberals who are for that. asking him to apologize for a logical policy stance is typical snaky hillary.. bernie has said that if she wants him to apologize to sandy hook victims, she should apologize to families of fallen soldiers killed in iraq. dno why he didnt hit her with that. maybe too much for the deb8 stage, or it slipped his mind like usual. wish he'd tighten up on that shit.. like when she told him it's not a laughing matter (when he was laughing while she was talking about guns), but she laughs in response to everything he says.. this is all stupid imagery stuff but he's just not great at seizing those moments in debates.

fuck took a while to type (one handed while icing my lame elbow)

Hillary has said before that the first thing she wants to do if she gets elected is to ban pistols and to look into Australias gun laws aka confiscation.

do you haz url to that? not saying I don't believe it, just couldn't find it in my lame google searches. I found some stuff on 'ontheissues.org' (good site) but couldn't find anything specific to that.

pc

I'll check them out when I get to work to keep myself occupied and post it.

Theres a video of her trying to lie her way through some old farts question that they probably planted in the audience.  She talks about how Australias is only a buyback program with stricter gun control after that.  What she failed to mention was if you didn't turn in your guns that you were looking at 1 year in prison.   I'll find the other video i just hate having to listen to her cuz it just makes me furious  and I want to punch my computer monitor.

Also, that god damn Obamacare.  For my company, before obamacare the lowest rate was like 55 bucks a month, now the lowest rate is 125 or so a month.  We need change my ass, take your cash for clunkers and take a hike dumbledore

ya everything is way too expensive, it's such trash. i've only ever had insurance through companies I worked for, and I rarely paid much attention to costs during those time periods. Most of my life (growing up, in college, and when not working), i've never had insurance.. either have my parents.

but for my mom's insurance, for 3+ years I paid 1400 a month, on average.. which is just psychotic.. but prior to ACA (Obamacare), she couldn't even get insurance... so at least they managed to get rid of that pre-existing condition rule.. HOWEVER. It almost seems like they got rid of it just so that they could make more money by charging insane prices.

as for myself.. once I quit my job, I looked for some affordable insurance on healthcare.gov... without work, everything was ~180-200$ per month, just for the cheapest catastrophic insurance plan.. I qualified for one of those vouchers or whatever, to get like ~40% back come tax time. But it really annoyed me so much that I just settled for having no insurance and would rather pay the penalty.

so here I am paying alot (to me it's alot) for my mom's insurance, while unemployed, and not covering myself.

so to me, the biggest thing that matters in this election is health care.. then reducing the role of money in politics/energy/climate change/anti aggression. I've witnessed two people go bankrupt because of health care. Nothing bothers me more than people in this country having to stress about their health. Not just my family, but everyone.

I don't care what gets us there... medicare for all, or extreme competition. I'll take either one. The socialist way (medicare for all) by raising taxes, fine by me.. as long as everyone in this country is covered. If republicans win, then they need to figure out how to make a damn "dollar menu" for health care, ie, make it so damn competitive and get rid of waste, that health care basically becomes fast food but without neglecting quality. There's just too many criminals in politics for that to happen though.

the stuff that's going on in this country with health care, war, education, infrastructure, etc.. is a damn crime.

Also Bernie or some one needs to address this shit.

To me, I feel he cares the most about all of these issues. That's why me (and so many others) have really embraced him. If he wasn't in the race, I wouldn't be enthusiastic about any candidate.

Can anyone tell me what kind of job this description would be for?

Preferred Qualifications Associate's Degree in Business, Retail Management, Specialty related to department

no idea ?? lol.

So, then i'd have to code those out in haskell AND purescript while blood squirts furiously from my eyeballs.

hahahaha

even worse.. spent most of tonight working on it.. got it working real nice, in the dev env for the lib itself.. then I go install it in my other lib (the one that actually matters) as a dependency -> tons of errors. need to figure that out tomorrow.. some weird crap going on, never had this happen before.. probably something build related.. but I was happy to test it around ~5 AM tonight and then bam, 

thanks raptor.

also, adarq, meta comment: youtube vids have been acting up on the forum for the last few days. either not loading, or only loading once and freezing when i try to replay them.

thnx. i'll keep a lookout on it. not happening for me. will mess with it more tomorrow.

Yeah, here too.

Btw, at work when I try to reply, the youtube button on this server is gone. It's not a part of the reply interface, lol. Only at home it appears.

maybe that icon is being dropped by your work firewall, thinking it's pr0n. lul.

weird.

We should make a thread about this.

ya

hey adarqui why don't you go to sleep at 11 PM like a normal person.

because I woke up at 4:30 PM

feh!


the good news is my left heel feels good. bad news is my right elbow feels like poop.

Bio: Morning

sleep = 9 hours
wakeup = 4:30 PM
bw = 150
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = none
aches = right tennis elbow slightly - bad at night, sacral spine issue flaring up
injuries = toenails wrekt
feel = good



Food

4:30 PM

- sausage egg and cheese on a pumpernickel bagel
- heavenly chocolate chip / chocolate muffin
- pure sugarless green tea



Session: Evening

8:30 PM - 10 PM

at the court:
- basketball dribbling, jump shots, etc
- knocking down j's lefty and righty, like a boss.
- bball comes back to me real quick.. probably shot over 1 trillion jump shots in my life.

iced right elbow a few times.



worked on this the last few days:
- https://github.com/adarqui/purescript-interop-prime

actually works.. need to do a few more things before I can implement it into the forum-rewrite project. If and when I implement it, i'll be able to remove like 10k lines of code... and instead rely on this library to auto-generate all of that code, and more... sounds like a dream, can't wait.

The last thing I need to do, for now, is move everything to RWST and generate the lens fields for purescript. Once that is done... I should be able to do a massive pruning of my code base. I'd like to also figure out a way to generate api routines for the purescript client.... Havn't thought of a great way to do it yet but, i'd like to actually get something working there too so that I can rip out all of that code too.

This saves my life for one major reason: say tomorrow I want to add the ability for people to have blogs on the site.. well I need a blog type, blog comments type, blog comment ratings, blog rating, blog subscribers types etc.. So, then i'd have to code those out in haskell AND purescript while blood squirts furiously from my eyeballs. Instead, now i'll just be able to write the types in haskell and auto-generate all of the purescript code as well as the json instances for haskell too.

fuck ya, basically.

no one there to throw lobs but i was getting up pretty good. hurt elbow jamming the dodgeball down too hard on third jump and kind of shut my CNS down. wasn't planning for this to be a PR session anyway. tomorrow.

also, my friend at work told our boss (the CEO) that i had dunked and he didn't believe her, so i showed him the slow-mo video with the dodgeball. his jaw literally dropped. 

hah nice. is he athletic? Most athletic people seem to be impressed by dunking, because I imagine 99% of them have wanted to dunk, but haven't (and also haven't trained for it). It's jaw dropping for most athletic people because i've imagined they've tried at least once to simply hit the rim.

I'm gonna give you some advice that I haven't been able to follow myself... By a grippy super inflated ball and learn the self lob!  I can't push this too hard on you because I've practiced it for probably about 50 tries and cannot figure it out for the life of me....  But it's gotta be something learnable! 

From talking to dunkers that can do it they tell me that it's actually much much easier to catch a self lob off the bounce near the rim than to catch an alley oop because if you do it perfectly you actually catching a floating object rather than one that is traveling in the air...

Also I know you told me your goal was dunking in any way shape or form including alley oops but I think it would be more impressive if someone asks if you can dunk and you pull up proof of yourself throwing a self lob and throwing it down than catching an oop... To the layman a self lob is truly dunking by yourself!

Maybe you could begin my just finishing your sessions with 30-50 self lobs where you just do the toss but don't even jump... Just practicing the toss to get to where you can consistently get the ball to bounce up near the rim at the perfect height won't tire out your legs at all and will get you to at least the first step towards dunking from a self toss...

It's great that your more consistent with jumping ability but we all know how fickle the brain and the legs can be... Who knows when the day is when you just happen to be jumping 38" inches will be... It would such a shame that on that day you happen to not have anyone around who can toss you lobs!  A decent self lob in your back pocket might just allow you to document your dunk on that very best day rather than the best day when you happen to have a patient and good lob thrower around...

Either do this OR pay someone to come to the gym every time you jump and throw you lobs!  You have reached a once in a lifetime goal (seriously bask in this, I train all kinds of athletes and you don't know how many "better" athletes than you that are also taller that tell me it's a bucket list goal to dunk but haven't achieved what you have), before you move to the Near East let's get the best of the best of this on tape.   Also before jumping days cut moderately the volume and intensity of your daily routine but do not drop it!

34 inches on the one step is beast!

definitely. the first step is a hyper inflated ball. I bought a ball a few months ago, and even though i've inflated it 'to the max', it sucks. For some reason that Reebok basketball I had, was my favorite lob ball because man it had serious bounce.

Another tip, you can leave the ball in your car (in florida at least) earlier that morning. By the time you go dunk, it'll be a rocket.

If you were to attempt the self lob route, which ya I also recommend.. I'd get a ball, hyper inflate it, do all of your jumps like you normally do in your session. Then when you're basically done jumping max, just throw several lobs and get it to bounce up near the rim. If you find you're able to do it pretty consistently, start doing some light runup/jumps and just try to touch the ball (or fuck it, smack it like you're blocking someone, sounds fun) when it's up near the rim.

If you did that at least once in a while, it should slowly sink in.. and who knows, you might actually be really good at throwing lobs once you get a crazy bouncy ball.

A very bouncy ball just makes it so much easier.. in order to emulate that with a less bouncy ball, you have to throw it so much higher.. which really throws everything off IMHO.

I can't seem to find that ball anywhere.. so I tried looking in a few vids, can't find the exact model.

It looked something like this:
