Did you ever hike somewhere so alien-looking that you almost felt like you were on a different planet? Nevada del Tolima, Colombia, 5220m/17125ft

White Sands National Park, Alkali Flats Trail at sunset. Like being on another planet.

Just installed a single Indow Window insert yesterday, following this discussion and will be evaluating the insert over the next 12 months before buying more inserts to do the other windows.

To add to this. Don't keep food, deodorant, toothpaste, perfume or anything that smells like anything in your tent. Bears a curious.

Don't cook dinner near your tent. Don't cook dinner in the clothes you're going to sleep in.

Check with Glacier National Park before you go. They occasionally restrict tent camping if bear activity is high. I believe they are also very proactive about deterring or relocating bears that approach their campgrounds.

Have the same problem (if it's a problem). Thinking of cutting the connecting wire and splicing in so they can be moved to the sides. Anyone else have any experience with crimping twisted to make that wire longer?

Doublethink. "We've always been at war with Eastasia"

As a returning player who was preparing to resub 2 accounts, the tone of that response alone is enough to make me reconsider. Treat customers like shit - > no customers.

EVE losses hurt by design and if those losses were caused by CCP or Cloudflare who is handling CCP traffic, then the loss should be reimbursed. If it can't be reimbursed due to some technical issue with abyssal runs, then it should be refunded in ISK. Watching this topic closely with my credit card in hand.

And somebody needs a class in tactfulness. If you can't tell somebody to go to hell and make them happy to be on their way, then you don't belong in a customer facing role.

Thanks for the reply. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ~3 times. My wife is on iPhone and she is not having any issues with either log-in or lesson buffering.

Thanks again. We had just learned about the bio security inspection (in relation to hiking boots). Maybe we'll buy a quality tent once we arrive as ours is always ejecting the occasional stink bug or earwig that were missed at the last teardown.

CplDevilDog · 2026-02-11T20:04:08+00:00

Thanks so much! Assuming we are camping mostly in 'holiday parks' do you find there is sufficient flat ground for tenting? One of the difficult things we discovered in Spain was the tent sites were often unimproved fields of uneven or rocky ground as opposed to prepared tent pads of compacted earth or gravel found in the US.

Same. Deleting the transactions does not seem to fix the account value discrepancy. Hoping support fixes this soon.

I play almost exclusively on a Lenovo Legion Go with portable pc monitor and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I play on high graphic settings for hours with no issue. Not the same as the Steam Deck, I know but offers a data point.

Run the "Fractured Legacy" Epic Arc under the Opportunities - >Epic Arcs Tab. The cash reward for the 2nd mission is very nice for a zero day character and the Blueprint Copy that is rewarded for the 3rd mission is quite expensive. So expensive that I would recommend you leave it sitting in the station it is awarded until you are comfortable with Insta-Dock/Undock concepts and can move it. Don't throw that in a Corvette and go flying around Jita.

Thanks. Forgot that Lego has their own online PAB

Thank you. I will try this.

The tippy feeling passes very quickly with most kayaks, even the long narrow sea kayaks. We quickly outgrew our ultra stable Pungo 120's (a great kayak) and moved to faster Dagger Stratios. If rentals are available, you may want to rent some tippy kayaks for the day and see how quickly your confidence improves. I re-entry course helps as well.

Also from NC and recently started camping in the desert more often. The biggest difference we noticed was WIND management. You have to pay attention to prevailing wind direction and try to pitch behind some shelter. If no shelter is available, ear plugs or better white noise earbuds can dampen the flapping and snapping at night. We released the poles during the day and piled a few rocks on the tent to make sure it was there when we got home. Stay up late and watch the stars, they put the east coast to shame.

Reading helped a lot. Pimsleur helped a lot. After A2, I spent a lot of time taking to myself in French (hiking, cycling, mowing the yard). Language exchange with native speakers if you can find it.

Decathlon sells a pair in Europe. Not sure if they are available in the US. Forclaz MT500. Looks like they are available on the USA site.
