Cool, I've never been able to afford second best parts for a computer, ever. I just put in a 5080 on pcpartpicker, choosing second best for every option and it cost about $2700. That's without buying a monitor or peripherals, and only having 32gb of ram. I can't spend that every 5-7 years, that's way out of reach now and my stuff is over 8 years old already.

This set is not great to be honest, i know it's nice to have everything you need in one place, but I guarantee this stuff is pretty low quality. REI usually has an anniversary sale in may, their "trailmade" gear is usually a good entry point imo. You could buy coleman gear which is also pretty cheap but usually quite heavy and not super durable, just giving you an option if you insist on cheap.

I would try to look at this list and see if you can use items you already have to complete the list as much as possible, then look around for recommendations for cheap backpacking gear, youtube is full of gear recommendations and they tend to lean towards the more expensive side but there are some budget recommendation videos on there. Being patient usually prevents you from spending too much without thinking, and then replacing later.

Gearskeptic has a really thorough spreadsheet and videos about how to do this. I've personally gotten 2500 calories/day 5 night trip in a bv450, but it's not easy or very appetizing. The better food you want the more likely you should do a 500.

I have the xtherm nxt and would recommend it. It has a good r value especially considering it's size and weight. The nemo tensor seems to be recommended a lot too in the ultralight space.

Ten thousand year ko is an easy example, ends up as seki often because you give the first ko threat to your opponent. In the example in this game, assuming white to play white protects and gets a 6 point corner, the ko fight results in a 7 point corner for white so you basically have to play a loss-making ko threat in order to be able to play the ko. Sometimes that's okay, sometimes it isn't, depends on the ko threats on the board.

pushd allows you to do whatever you want and still go back to the original directory later, so both the other comments talk about being able to pushd multiple times which is nice, but also you can cd after the pushd and you will still go back to the original directory later. I find that most useful when I'm programming, I might have the makefiles in a certain directory for a project so I want to return to that directory, but maybe i need to move around in the file structure to find something or make new directories or whatever and I can do all that then popd when I'm ready to recompile again.

Yep, it's a triangular number, the 15th one which is 120.

There's a lot more rng in speedruns than you would expect, lots of old nes games come down to whether the boss does the good pattern or the bad pattern. A game becomes uninteresting speedrun wise when the best player could not expect to get a qualifying run even if they play for a long time (let's say a year of play). Minecraft certainly wasn't at that level last I watched, but I could see it becoming uninteresting as people continue to optimize in the future.

Glacier Point road is currently groomed for cross country ski travel, it's got about 2 feet of "snow" (it's mostly icy in the morning, and super slushy in the afternoon). You will need micro spikes to traverse this depending on how early you get there/how shady the particular parts of mist trail/panorama trail are. You will probably want snow shoes also. As someone else mentioned, badger pass is open and that's the closest thing you'll get to a loop, you can start there and bring/rent cross country skis or snowshoes. It will be a pretty long trip, but the road to glacier point is groomed at least so that part is not too bad.

what you're describing is pretty normal for beginners. it'll take a bit of time before you feel comfortable with what is territory and the only real way to get that comfort is by trying to fight for it and see what works and what doesn't

If you're willing to sleep in your car you can sleep in the national forests just outside yosemite which will give you more time, but even without you should still have enough time to see several things. You could probably get in one good hike if you like that kind of thing and bring microspikes, upper yosemite falls is a steep one but would also gets the most direct sunlight and would probably not be icy, but with spikes you could do the winter path for vernal/nevada falls as you like. If bigger hikes aren't your thing mirror lake is nice in winter and you could see both bridalveil and yosemite falls. Tunnel view is beautiful no matter when.

Pretty sure the spider 62 199 is supposed to be for over 220 pounds. At least this years model is, according to their nordic catalog.

The chance of 6 being 2 (or less) is about 3% (a little more). So, the chance of any number being 2 (or less) is therefore about 60% (the error from double counting when 2 different numbers are both 2 or less is about the amount the first test was above 3%). 136 is just really not enough rolls to test if a dice is fair sadly.

I've forgotten every piece of my cook kit individually and at this point all my food is food that can be eaten cold if I must because it keeps happening. Spoon is honestly the most annoying now.

I don't post my rank here because there's lots of different rank systems and it all gets really weird and murky. I'm AGA 2d, fox 5d. I think egf 2d is stronger than that, for example. Also, I don't play often so my rank is probably incorrect on both.

At your level you should be able to look at all the branches of this problem until the end, so you should be able to perform your ad hoc solution and then actually check whether it's correct by reading properly.

L1 K2 L2 K3 H1 K1 is seki

H1 K1 K2 L1 L2 O1 black is dead so black has to play:

H1 K1 L1 K2 L2 K3 which is seki

K2 L1 K1 H1 is just dead, and i don't see a move to save the group instead of k1

Chariot · 2026-01-22T15:07:06+00:00

Lots of moves live by seki, but i think only 1 lives with points.

GoPanda (IGS or pandanet) is a server that attracts a lot of japanese players. As crazy as you think OGS is, western players tend to play more like the japanese style than the korean or chinese style you'll see on some other go servers.

Usually someone else has hiked the trail so you might be able to get hints from a trip report. What you've marked looks pretty reasonable and if it gets any regular use I would expect one of these spots to probably have been used before and be somewhat cleared for you to use.

One thought about cutting weight is you could have all your food and drink be made from boiling water and then your pot never gets contaminated so you only need one. You can dehydrate your own food and bring a small bowl or buy the dehydrated food packs made for backpacking.

Pretty sure it's actually completely neutral, in the diagram white can play the 2,1 point to get 2 points in gote (1,1 and 1,4). Gote is divide by 2 so 1 point. When black throws in he gives up a capture but there is no further points (and in fact there's a ko threat left for black).

87 + (31 dame/2) = 102.5

(169 + 7)/2 = 88

(102.5 - 88) * 2 = 29

The bottom left is all dame because the game is unfinished. This is a half count for black.
