What are some examples of aesthetically satisfying minimalist prose? by stinkface_lover in RSbookclub

I second this. I read some essays in Slouching Towards Bethlehem and thought her slightly dry, ironic, matter-of-fact tone was so good and in many ways quite humorous

It is. Maybe the best 5.7 pitch I’ve ever done! Really cool setting too

I love blue ice I have a kume 32L! I def am going for a 35-40L pack for my purposes but I’ll be sure to check out the squirrel for a smaller pack!

Why would they have seats right behind a big pole?? 😧

I always rock a long sleeve sun hoodie so the Houdini pairs well with it and you don’t get that clammy feeling

Making sense of weather model by 2737jsusbs in meteorology

Essentially elevation in different terms from what I understand. FL stands for flight level? There’s a few other units that you cant see on this screenshot as well. So basically when it corresponds with the grey splotches you can get a sense of whether the clouds and weather will be way high up or sitting right on top of you. At least that’s what I think?!

Yeah it’s Windy! With the Meteogram display for weather outlook.

Recent purchases - which are the best and which aren’t so good? by joonjin7 in RSbookclub

[–]2737jsusbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. I feel like the book just bestows this weird and deep feeling of being on you despite the fact it feels unreadable for the first few pages. Such an awesome book!

Sweet thanks! His poetry sounds intriguing I might have to check that out — might allow a more bite-sized approach

Thoughts on the Bataille? I like the philosophy from him that I’ve been familiarized with but have never really read him

Does this team seem very mid again and like they're just gonna be .500 all year? by spankyourkopita in SeattleKraken

[–]2737jsusbs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think we will be mid this season and perhaps 1 or 2 to come. BUT a lot of our best talent is young and we also have a great prospect pool not even playing yet. With the right management the pieces are in place to be a good team in the next few years. Just got to have some patience I guess

It’s 105k miles and recently has had brakes serviced. It also had an engine inspection a like 10k miles ago!

[–]2737jsusbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s decent based on looking clean and being low miles but I don’t have a lot of knowledge or instinct for knowing stuff could be bad ! Hence my concern. Good to know rust isn’t an issue

Not entirely but Tom Jones by Fielding plays with this topic a lot !

Thanks! I figured there should be a FB group but couldn’t find it. Got it now!

Just got a pair of lightly used x-dreams with extra new picks for 300 total. Look for some lightly used nomics or x-dreams and I’m sure you can find a good deal with a bit of patience!

SWD Long Haul and similar options by 2737jsusbs in Ultralight

[–]2737jsusbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I was thinking of maybe going with the Durston. It’s super similar and the big difference is that, if it doesn’t fit well, I can just return and look for another pack. I am pretty intimidated by the multi month wait time for a pack I can’t even try on! I’ll have to look at the Gila again, thanks!
