I learned the basics of snowboarding in an afternoon. Sure there was lots of falling and aches. Protective gear can help a lot though.

What’s tiring at the beginning is standing up all the time from falling so often. As you fall less often, you don’t need to stand up so often anymore and it becomes less exhausting.

With increasing skill you also need less muscle power to turn and stop.

When skiing/snowboarding you probably spend more time sitting in a chairlift than actually riding down the mountain. Then there’s waiting for friends, waiting in line, breaks for eating. I never measured the time, but you might not even get a full hour of pure skiing during a day on the mountain.

For learning I would recommend to first just go for a weekend and then later the same winter for a week. During the week take one day off for recovery. Some pain and exhaustion will always occur, but that’s just the way it is with any strenuous physical activity. Best practice for preparing to learn snowboarding is to lie on the ground and then stand up repeatedly.

I mean did you tell the Masseur to be more gentle?

There’s more than one web UI.

I’ve been on Lemmy for a while and still find the duplicate named communities on different insurances confusing. The number of users only somewhat. There are lots of communities still listed from dead instances like feddit.de.

Unique names for communities would be helpful and also support moving a community to a new instance.

Well the folks over at .ml aren’t from Mali or host their server there.

Did you say that’s it’s painful?

It gets easier with practice. Trying once is not enough practice. L

It’s a very weird drug. I only know one person who actually likes the experience.

I went to a white and grey world where I became a bookshelf and the corner brick of a building for a bit.

I tried it a couple of times and have no desire to try it again. It’s more of a drug for people who want to explore and experiment.

My tips: sit down when doing it. Have a sober person present. People sometimes start moving around and injure themselves.

The physical punishment is part of the fun.

immediately fell on my face before even thinking about doing cool stuff

It’s called learning difficult things. Everyone who has ever learned to skate has fallen plenty of times.

What was the issue specifically?

The ml stands for Marxism-Leninism. They are tankies.

That’s more a feature for a client app.

Königsberger Klopse are big boiled meatballs served with a white sauce with capers and boiled potatoes. Super delicious.

Upvote and get banned and leave.

Mods ban people for petty stuff or no reason at all on lemmy. However, it’s much easier to evade a ban as well by going to a different instance.

Exactly. The Fediverse is transparent to all the bad actors and they don’t even have to pay for access.

Privacy isn’t particularly good in the fediverse. Any federated instance can track you as much as they want without you ever knowing or consenting.

Self hosting Lemmy is straightforward. Then subscribe to all communities and now you have a treasure trove of data to mine. If you modify the code a bit you can do more like keep deleted posts around or surveil user activities in real time.

That word has truly lost all meaning.
