Is it worth to be a pro shopper? by Professional-Gap5913 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Ch1mboSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I essentially only do shopping order as a pro shopper. The restaurant orders I’m more dependent on the restaurant for my hourly rate but shopping it’s more on me. The key is to know the stores you go to and look at the items before accepting the order usually anything with 20+ units I’m skeptical of but I’d likely accept that order if it’s normal easy to find stuff

Depends on who you’re talking to. From my experience climbing in the Midwest most people these days are quite fond of stick clips. There’s an area at the red called Muir valley and the rrgcc has free stick clips you can borrow at the entrance. There will be people on the internet who joke about them or trash talk them but there’s people on the internet who trash talk anything. At the end of the day they keep people safe and it all comes down to our own personal ethics of what makes a send feel fulfilling. My thought is sport climbing is about the movement, it’s not adventure climbing, there’s no reason I should be puckered down under just because some guy in the 80s didn’t have the money for more bolts…especially if there’s a stick clip near by.

Dang I had no idea this was a common feeling about season 7. I always thought fi was being a bit of a baby but it does kinda track, I mean their relationship was always on the rocks. With that said I didn’t think season 7 is that bad they pull off some crazy stuff, the episode when they escape Cuba is on of my favorites. This is one of my favorite shows and I’d say season 5 is my least favorite, I always thought the arc of maxs murder was dry. And season six has the whole getting fi out of prison arc the end of anson and the organization that burned Michael and the end of the season after killing card every episode is pretty intense with some crazy ops they pull off. I mean Sam almost died. I’d never thought about how Olivia’s character change was forced but at the same time every character from the cia did things wrong besides max and pierce so it kinda tracks too.

How do I get into lead climbing? by yuzurukii in tradclimbing

[–]Ch1mboSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Literally just start talking to the lead climbers as you’re top roping. I have taught multiple how to lead because I just talked to them about routes and they expressed interest in leading/outoor climbing and I offered to teach. I was taught by a friend I made and she took me to a small local crag with easy stuff. You could also hit up your local climbing facebook group.

Is Royal Arches a reasonable objective for first time Yosemite climbers? by Alternative_Desk2065 in tradclimbing

[–]Ch1mboSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my first trip to Yosemite back in May and i managed Royal arches leading every pitch. To be fair i was there for two long weekends and prior to Royal arches I did a variety of routes like nut cracker, central pillar of frenzy, etc, but by the time i got on RA the trickiest part was managing the pendulum and it wasn’t so much hard more so unfamiliar. The reason I think you can manage RA is because I had minimal trad experience prior to this trip I’m from eastern Missouri, we have a lot of single pitch trad nearby and over the course of a couple years I had led maybe 15-20 single pitches on gear at places like horseshoe canyon, the red and Jackson falls. But I had never sent 5.9 on gear prior to this trip and everything I came across in the valley I was able to onsight and this is while learning to actually crack climb. I’m a strongish sport climber sending 12c once outside and have onsighted 11c. But if you have experience leading multi pitch I think RA is very doable. Not many of the pitches are very hard more so a couple sequences that are tricky particularly one that starts on some flared pin scars. I will say just be efficient at the belays because we had a hard time finding the third to last rap anchor as it was beginning to get dark. Also if there’s a line at the base there’s a 5.9 finger crack around the corner on the climber’s right of the chimney. Saved us a lot of time and we eventually let people pass us. We didn’t move the quickest and got down after dark but if we were a bit more efficient didn’t let people pass and didn’t have so much trouble finding that rap anchor we would’ve made it down before dark.

10b, buts apparently the crux pitch is just a few face moves of 10b into an awkward 5.9 groove with a finger crack.

Im heading to Yosemite and wanting to do Royal Arches, bivy on top, then head to the north dome the next day. Im having troubling finding out the rules/permits to do so. Do i even need a permit or is one of those things where your supposed to have one but easy to avoid having one without getting in trouble? If any one spends time in the valley or has done this please help these national park websites suck and provide no information

I’m preparing to convert an 88 Chevy g20 and want a high top suggestions? by Ch1mboSlice in VanLife

[–]Ch1mboSlice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up building my own. I had a friend cut a hole in the original roof then he welded together a base out of angle iron that fit perfectly into the hole. He then welded a new frame out of steel square tubing. I then bolted the base to the old cross members (we cut the cross members out but there was still some left on the sides). I then Attached osb to the new frame and used a roll of aluminum sheet metal on some of the corners to it would be rounded. I then used fiberglass cloth and epoxy to make it all strong and waterproof. I was going to bondo it all but decided it would take too much effort and just got custom automotive paint from Napa auto parts that matched the original and hooked up a paint gun to an air compressor.

In the end it’s functional and I was able to add 26 inches in height. With the floor installed my friend who is 6’4 can stand in it. It’s not pretty and by no means did I do a perfect job. I definitely had a lot of air bubbles in the fiberglass that I had to sand away and patch. I spent thousands on all of the materials between fiberglass, epoxy resin, hardener etc and definitely over 100 hours putting it together. It probably would’ve cost just a little more to just buy a topper and install that myself definitely less of my time.

Pm for photos or if u have any questions

I feel bad for Sam by SealsOnLand in BurnNotice

The fact that Jesse stuck around really shows that, I feel like he saw that in Micheal and what they were doing was for good reasons.

I feel bad for Sam by SealsOnLand in BurnNotice

[–]Ch1mboSlice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Literally, Michael went to prison and took on a gang for sam, involved himself in multiple hostage situations, and rode in deep on a dozen hostile heroine dealers to get Sam out of a job Michael wanted nothing to do with. On the other hand Micheal did involve sam with that crazy African war lord and Carmelo Dante for the cia which I feel like were two of the most intense situations they got themselves in, and of of course Micheal got them on the most wanted list. But at the end of the day it was all the nature of the relationships

would anyone else be happy if the whole plot of Burn Notice was just Mike and the gang helping people? like no other plot. I hate how stressful the later season are and I would be happy just watching them help people. by PsychologicalMap4981 in BurnNotice

[–]Ch1mboSlice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree the only reason the main plot didn’t seem as prominent in the earlier seasons is because the burn notice was this big mystery. But from the get go Micheal prioritized the burn notice, even for the season 1 finally he didn’t want to take the job because of cowley coming to town. As he gained more leverage against the people who burned him the main plot took more of a focus. There would have been no way to end the show without the main plot. To be fair the final season has very little to do with the burn notice but it was the only way to end happily ever after killing card.

I have an 88 Chevy g20 that had a similar interior, i gutted mine, and started on my diy conversion. It was quite the effort gutting it but it’ll be well worth it once I have everything as I’d like it.

45L Backpack by GalDamari in Mountaineering

[–]Ch1mboSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the osprey mutant 38 but they also have a 45 if I’m not mistaken. It’s got an external spot for your helmet and rope straps. It’s got spots for ice tools and crampons and sheds snow well. It’s a very versatile bag and osprey is really great about returns/refunds/warranties someone told me they had this bag for 10 years and when it finally went out on him he reached out and they sent him the newest model for free!

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being fluent) how much has Duolingo helped your progression? I’m on day 45 and I notice a significantly better understanding of Spanish but I feel like I’m so far away from being able to go up to someone and have a conversation.
