I was in Tae Kwon Doe for about 3 years, but once I got my blackbelt, I quit. What Ryoko does is seriously friggin dangerous, and I dread the day when we come here and read on the news page "Close friend, and moderator SD_Ryoko dies a tragic accident in MMA fight". I saw a video not to long ago from an MMA fight and one dude landed the wrong way and snapped his calf completely in half, hope that never happens to Ryoko hehe.

Err, yeah that would suck huh?

I think the last time I read about it, the statistical odds of death in MMA are 1 in 17000 fights.

The last time someone died, he had some kind of head problems the week before. He had headaches and blacked out a few times, and decided to fight anyway.

We saw this karate guy fight in indiana. Young guy, about 18 I think. He was wearing a gi too. We were all wondering what he was doin.

Well the fight started, and he got in his stance and the bell rang. Other guy runs torward, grabs him around the waste, and imediately pushed against the fence. He threw a few knees, grabbed the kids legs, and slammed him on the ground. Moved to a full mount, and tee'd off on his head till the ref called it.

He admitted after, he had no grappling / wrestling experience. We said 'Dude ,this is NOT your sport, your going to get hurt". For whatever reason, he claimed this was a good experience for him anyway.

......good experience?

The bottom line is, if you know what your doing, your a lot less likely to get hurt. The more you know, the better off you'll be. But don't walk in there clueless and endanger yourself, it makes the sport look bad when people get there head kicked in.

Someone died in the toughman contest in ohio not a week ago. But that event is stupid, and illegal in most states now. they've been pushed out because someone dies almost every show.

Basically, Toughman is this contest, where joe schmo from the croud volunteers to fight.

Jason fought that 2 years ago. He went through three oponents in three days. Its insane, the idea of putting 'wino bar-fu' bad ass dudes against a trained fighting machine. Thats why people keep dying in it.

And get this? They paid Jay 1000 bucks to do it too - heh. He said 'its the easiest 1000 bucks I ever made" LOL. Maybe I should sign up - heh.

(Bar-fu is our joke about the 'bad dudes' in the bar, who think they can fight)

Yeah those toughman fights are ridiculous! Here in Florida they were BIG! Anyone could participate, even chicks, and there were radio spots on all the time about where and when to go and how you would get a t-shirt even if you lost. It got banned after some high school kid went into a club in our area, thought it would be cool to sign up and the very first round, the very first punch was to his head and he died instantly. No waiver about personal injury in the world did the club any good in court against kid's parents either.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
