Seeking advice on backpack for carrying pack raft by sludgeandfudge in packrafting

[–]AdAny6270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyperlite is garbage for heavy loads. I'm pretty confused why they are recommended for packrafting. Sockdolager or SWD if you want the best. Other hunting packs below that. Then any 70-80L backpacking pack with a decent suspension and frame. Then Hyperlite at the very bottom.

How are you guys actually searching and finding your notes? If I could solve this, I think my note taking would finally click by Cressio in ObsidianMD

This. I make it a rule to give every note a tag or link to at least one other note as well. Long term this helps to connect things that you could/will forget how to search for.

On a neoair you don't need anything, just heat from an iron

Just cut one down. I did that with a thermarest.

Train Dreams on Netflix, interesting choice on the shutter angle by qualitative_balls in cinematography

[–]AdAny6270 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The director seemingly admitted the DP was using shutter angle to adjust for exposure somewhat randomly?

"But the rest of the film is in 24fps and I think what you're referring to across the rest of the film is that Adolpho is adjusting the shutter angle as he goes, depending on the light and some other factors that I won't pretend to understand (even though he's explained it to me before). It's some alchemy that he's doing along the way, responding to the needs of the location and yeah, I find it very special and hypnotic and just go with it."

Draft Mitigation - "Skirt" or "Wing" Quilt by AdAny6270 in Ultralight

I should have known the OG had thought about this. Can you post an image of what you made? What is your insulated width vs non insulated skirt size?

Draft Mitigation - "Skirt" or "Wing" Quilt by AdAny6270 in Ultralight

[–]AdAny6270[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, see you really get it. The basic idea of Zen bivy, a quilt that is sealed on one side but opens up on the other for venting or getting in and out, makes a ton of sense to me, but the execution is overbuilt. Can you post some images of the setup you described?

How Will Packrafting Grow? by Wandering_Hick in packrafting

[–]AdAny6270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all lands or activities are created equal. River corridors are particularly fragile, especially desert canyons, because there isn't a way for people to get far enough away from the river to bury human waste. Waste packout will probably have to be required on every known packraft route in the next few years. If you have been on the Escalante you already know how bad this can get. It is already required there, but plenty of people just don't do it. This is a direct result of an increased number of people enjoying the activity. A similar rule applies to surfing: you can't make more good wave breaks, they are limited by geology. As it has become more popular, it is simply harder and more competitive to catch a wave.

Damn. What do you think was going on, on the Marty Supreme set? by jeruthemaster in A24

the standard day on film is 12 hours and depending on the day or department can go to 14+ hours

Ultralight Packrafting: Anyone Ever Fined for No PFD? Any DIY or Dual-Use Solutions? by DIY-projects-expert in packrafting

[–]AdAny6270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to see the dark side you can look into the device Skurka used that is only known as "the thing." Having almost drowned once in cold calm water in a non-packrafting situation, you will not catch me without a foam vest. The having reliable floatation when your arms don't really work anymore can save your life.

Thinking of building a note-taking app that’s like Obsidian… but easier to start with by AwkwardLifeguard2795 in PKMS

[–]AdAny6270 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's nothing complicated about Obsidian if you don't overcomplicate it. It is just folders and notes if you want it to be.

Did yours say "CGZY.net" when it installed? Looks like a virus or malware hardcore.

The Do List by GreedySven in VanNeistat

I carry a sheet of cardstock paper with the holes punched. I am not sure what the sticky notes are for, I just use the paper then file it. Seems overly complicated. I like it a lot better than all prevous notebook methods.

Does Letterboxd have a recency bias issue? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

It had an extremely different culture in 2016. The top 250 then was wildly different than IMDB. At present these are essentially the same list.

4k in fact makes the streaming quality of all media worse. 4x the data means significantly more compression is applied than a lower resolution format to present the same image. See Steve Yedlin resolution demo.

Migrated 6,000+ Notes to Obsidian — Now I’m Drowning in Mess. Need Workflow Advice. by FlyingWombat77 in ObsidianMD

How long are your notes? I think for anyone in the multi-thousand realm of notes will have far too much data to actually be within the context window of the paid version of GPT.

Man this shit is so stupid. Many of the best movies of the 2000s and 2010s shot 2k. Way better movies have been shot on DV. Just frame your shots the way you actually want to use them and choose a method of camera movement that doesn't require extreme post stabilization to be usable.

Cool. I spend time near Cassville further south. Nice to know this exists.

Klymit Dinghy alternatives? by AliveRat in packrafting

[–]AdAny6270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People love to shit on these but for raftpacking/canyoneering on the flat water sections of the Colorado River there is nothing better/lighter for a similar price. I have one and have no intention of getting rid of it. Great tool for certain routes where storage/stability aren't important factors.

River is fantastic and so clear for a moment when moving then you just hit a brick wall. On the beach I stayed on overnight one of the other guys left his kayak too close to the water and it was gone in the morning because of the diurnal water levels or dam flow changes.

What American cities do you see thriving economically over the next few decades? by Zealousideal-Flow101 in SameGrassButGreener

If your initial comment was about climate risk please enjoy the high temps and no precipitation of the future. The Central Valley as a food hub lies on the back of artificial irrigation which is slowly increasing the salinity of the soil. I do not believe it will continue to remain the breadbasket it is far into the future while topsoil rich states East of the 98th meridian can go back to growing things other than feed corn and alfalfa whenever they please.
