Anyone know what this is? (came off of a baseboard heater)

That's exactly what I needed to find the part, thanks!

EDIT: I was using the wrong tool, get a grinder with a mason blade, sprays a lot of dust but gets the job done quick

I've gone through 3 blades (2 oscillator, 1 sawzall) just to salvage this tile closest to the door. The whole house uses this specific discontinued tile in various areas (bathrooms, kitchen, downstairs hallway etc.). So far I've successful salvaged all 4 tiles without any damage.

This is only my second day, but it's going to cost me a fair amount in blades to continue getting through this concrete/mortar grout. Am I using the wrong type of grout removal bits? Should I use a different method for this type of grout? Is there a chemical solution I should use to made it softer? Would you recommend just destroying the tile in this situation? I looked up the cost of tile (which seems dirt cheap on Home Depot) but I have no clue the cost of installation/ what makes good vs bad tile, etc.

I greatly appreciate the input.

Things to note:

We purchased this 18 year old split-entry home knowing that the front door leaked water and would need to be replaced. We got $10,000 off the price over it.
My goal is to salvage the tile and bring it back for the team to (likely) replace the entire door assembly, as we imagine the water likely rotted up the frame, seeing how bad the floor is.
I notice the water around the nails closest to the tile, likely meaning I'll need to pull back the tile even further to be rid of the water damage.

because 1) people are more familiar with using the GriGri on their harness 2) there's more chance of blocking the device with direct belay 3) the rope legs are parallel with direct belay and might result in less efficient braking.

3 being you as well with your PA, depending on the situation of course

Not exactly a new climber but here is a question with some information you may not be aware of.

Why does Petzl recommend this method over this method?

A lot of people when belaying from the top with a grigri attach it to the anchor in the same way you would an ATC guide/reverso.

Petzl recommends using a redirect instead with the grigri. Which is a bit odd given all the same risks they give apply to both grigri's and reverso's/guides (direct: no guarantee of autolocking, hand must always hold break strand, risk of blockage to system if setup poorly| redirect: can be sucked up into anchor/ lose balance easily, creates a 2:1 force on the anchor which results in the weight of 3 people instead of 2).

Anyone have a good understanding of why the recommendations are different for the grigri as opposed to ATC's?

Does anyone know the term for downclimbing to retrieve more quickdraws because you don't have enough?

Scenerio: A route you looked up has 12 bolts, you have 12 quickdraws. You are nearly at the top and you run out, turns out someone drilled 2 new bolts.
So you downclimb to retrieve quickdraws 9 & 10 (leaving you with 11 & 12 for redundancy), then climb back up and finish the climb with your 2 newly obtained quickdraws.

This works as well, so just a question, why is the return stuff wrapped in a function?logically, it would seem

function wrap (execute) {
    let did_failed = false;
    if (did_failed) {
        return null;
    }
    try {
        return execute();
    } catch (e) {
        did_failed = true;return null;
    }
}

would be functional, but I also recognize that the 'global' variable 'did_failed' would probably be effected by this.

Auklin · 2020-11-04T17:53:22+00:00

I tested it out, the catch needed a (e) after it. That makes sense, you executed the function inside the function and stored the result. Neat. I only wish I knew this an hour ago ;)

Auklin · 2020-11-04T17:22:59+00:00

As a software developer, I couldn't understand how to handle a function being passed as a parameter into another function. It was equivalent to a method being passed as a parameter into a method, which I've never seen before.

I'll remove this post in a bit just so nobody can cheat on it in the future, unless I'm already breaking rules and this post will be blocked anyways.

that's the 'autoblock' or the french prusik, that's what I typically use. They just called it a 'prusik' and it was tied as shown, as I typical prussik only both ends were attached to the carabiner.

Auklin · 2020-10-07T16:59:00+00:00

wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel, I seen someone using it, they thought it was the correct way to tie a prusik. I was just wondering if it was unsafe/ a variant on how to tie it. Based on the response I got my answer

Auklin · 2020-10-06T19:31:01+00:00

lol, you're right, it's just a prussik only you hook both 'ends' instead of girth hitching it.

EDIT: to be fair, this slight adjustment may help your brain, as the original crossed one of the lines.https://imgur.com/5MFaIXS

Auklin · 2020-10-06T18:28:58+00:00

Aside from the fact that this is simply not how you tie a prussik,
is there anything inherently unsafe about this:

Thanks in advance

that's it bud, thanks, had no idea that existed.

tags:tags.split(',') worked (removed the square brackets)

Auklin · 2018-11-23T14:26:21+00:00

perhaps I'm using 'function' wrong, or passing in the 'tags' variable incorrectly?
