  • The pre-charged kits

    congrats on the installation! had not heard about of these before, but makes sense. so many questions…

    are we talking a 100% closed, pre charged system with both units charged - no drying or long prep needed? anything special to do between the compressor and the air handler on final connection? with supplied gear, how did everything work for you in routng lines and positioning the air handler and compressor units?

    have been thinking of adding a minisplit to my server room as additional/failure-state cooling and would usually want to use a pro for the work, but this is intriguing.

    again, nice detail oriented weekend work!

    agreed. mcdojos abound.

    quality muay thai will have you hitting thai pads constantly (if you know, you know!) - you quickly learn what a delivered strike actually feels like. most muay thai places also dedicate at least half of all mat time to sparring, clinch work and 1 day of hard sparring (rare-ish but real danger of cracked ribs, gloved/guarded concussive strikes with 6 of the 8 points - elbows generally excluded, but unpadded knees welcomed!). good gyms will have a ring or cage - cant run, you have to engage.

    most solid BJJ places will not promote you to blue and beyond unless you have competed in an open tournament or participate in hard gym rolls (have to stay active and genuine risk of a chokeout or joint hyperextension submission)

    having said that, do it for whatever reasons you want because, at the very minimum, you will get fantastic cardio. let’s face it - if you are alone, running remains a 100% legit defensive tactic.

    But hit the gym guys. Be ready.

    absolutely!

    • learn to jab and cross (sometimes its all you need. seriously!)
    • learn a little takedown defense
    • get comfortable in a ground scramble to get upright fast
    • quality muay thai is fantastic for standup and a quick learn for mid/close range striking
    • bjj if you have time (of limited use outside of pure one on one, but good bjj is personal development rocket fuel)
    • learn a firearm if thats your vibe

    no heros needed, but intelligently help to defend youself and your fam as best as you can.

    The bot sees that its evaluators react more favorably when their views are reinforced—and when they’re flattered by the program—and shapes its behavior accordingly.
