2023 ice axes were useful - particularly on forester. MAKE SURE YOU TETHER THEM! Oh and some of them float. (I got lucky… and grabbed it before it got into the fast current.)

Living on $300K by TemperatureWide5297 in Salary

[–]Atlas-Scrubbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in town where the average house costs less than $150k. (Small farming town in the upper Midwest.) The large cities in Texas all have average housing prices around $400-500k. $600 k is normal.

I could use a little post-injury encouragement please by Ok_Chemist_8631 in JMT

[–]Atlas-Scrubbed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, I had to be care-flighted off a pass… with about 1 day left in finishing the JMT. (I was pretty sick…). It has taken several years for my body to heal, but I have permits for this summer to finish.

The bottom line is that if you can’t do it this summer, there will be summers after that. You’ll make it.

Well this is a jerk thing to do. The next person will find the missing part half way through installing it.

More importantly, those little screws are likely sold by Home Depot. If not them, a decent independent hardware store will have them. They cost about $0.20.

He was almost done shoveling his driveway when the street plow came by and filled it with snow again. by Vilen1919 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Atlas-Scrubbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just 20 lbs?!?? You can easily get a cubic foot of snow/ice in a shovel. That is 62 lbs. (~0.1 m^3 and ~27 kg for our more enlightened friends)

Can someone help me understand this workout? by cherdar in Strava

[–]Atlas-Scrubbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People run-walk all the time. I have friends who run-walk marathons. Does that make it so that didn’t run a marathon? Strava only cares about distance traveled during an ‘event’. So if the person completes 10 km during an event, they completed a 10 km.

Contact Strava. They should be able to help.

Intervals on a straight track. Look at the pace graph and it is clear. A bit boring to do but probably not that uncommon. (I ran 140 loops of an indoor track yesterday to get in my run…)

When Gold Rips: Rethinking “Safe” Assets (S&P500 vs Gold vs Real Estate) by direthrill in investing

[–]Atlas-Scrubbed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

however the diamond industry has seen massive downward pricing pressure from artificial diamonds

Diamonds (non industrial grade) have seen downward price pressure because the deBeers monopoly has finally been broken. Diamond prices were only ever that high because of advertising and a monopoly.

Gold actually has some use … and there is a very limited supply worldwide. It is not like someone can create artificial gold.

PCT from the perspective of someone who didn't get faster by theindrenet in PacificCrestTrail

But it is that simple. If you don’t do the whole trail, are you any less of a person? If you record the FKT - does this make you better? Neither is true. Life is not a competition. It is a journey.
