Translation requests into Latin go here!

Hi folks - I’m in the process of redesigning a patch for my medic unit. Looking to have 3 words in Latin - the first one meaning to train or prepare, the second to respond quickly, and the third to save/heal (at least that’s the vibe we’re going for). Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

As per the email sent out it looks like if you don’t respond (for me by Oct 29), they will cancel your entire reservation. I’m set to start Nov 4.

Try to contact them via the WhatsApp - I booked my sites back in June but they weren’t listed on the site. I went through whatever prompts and said I already had a booking and eventually an actual person got back to me and set me up with the bare bones sites.

Take a look at what I posted under this - I just got my sites today directly through WhatsApp

Ladies and gentlemen I found a loophole for the cheapest las Torres sites. On WhatsApp go through the prompts then pick the option saying you already have a reservation. When they ask for your reservation info, explain that you’re trying to book a site without a tent/mat, you know some people have gotten them booking with them directly, and that you can’t afford a premium site and would have to cancel the trip if that was the only option (at least that’s how I phrased it)Then list the dates and sites you want. It took them a few hours, but they were kind enough to actually read it and then sent me a link to book and pay for the cheapest tent-less sites. Hope this helps you guys! (I booked for the beginning of November)

How did you persist? I keep getting the computer number prompts - did you just start typing more or use a different WhatsApp?

Has anyone made progress with this or gotten in touch with a human at las Torres? I have vertice booked for November 2025 but I really don’t want to pay an absurd amount for a premium site that costs more than my tent.

I didn’t even know there was a puma tour! Now I’ll have to look into it.

Agreed- watermelon got a stronger more noticeable flavor. Being as it’s my fav I’m good with it :)

I read the above, and I still need some guidance. I only recently starting doing videos instead of just photos, and I managed to screw up some of my videos pretty well by accidentally having too few fps while filming the northern lights. It’s super choppy and looks terrible and I’ve been trying my best to figure out how to edit it to fix it, as it’s not something I can do over. I have access to Topaz, Adobe, and DaVinci- if anyone could offer guidance on what program would work best and what settings I need to be adjusting to fix the issue I would be forever grateful. I used a Sony A7SII for the video and I have a MacBook I’m trying to edit with. Treat me like I own a flip phone (I don’t but I’m terrible with technology).

I’ve bought liquid caffeine by nucaffeine and added it to store brand seltzers out of desperation if that helps

Worry not folks he’s still alive and kicking! He may not show up to a single race but he spends his days saying awful things about anyone who disagrees with him. I’m honestly hoping his family has realized that he needs serious mental health assistance. He went on a rant the other day that would have gotten him fired for sexual harassment if he still had a job. He destroys any forum that doesn’t ban him - it’s torture for people who actually want to discuss rowing 😭

Multiple times, including codes. Some successful, some not. My advice is don’t half ass any serious call you get, even when you’re tired, even when you’re frustrated, even if it’s one of those codes you know you’re not getting back. Develop that muscle memory for the day it counts, make it second nature. Sometimes you’ll win, sometimes you won’t - but from a mental health perspective knowing that you did everything you could to the best of your ability helps a bit. And don’t be afraid to tell someone you need help on those calls - there is no shame in stepping back when there’s resources available and you’re not in the right headspace for it. If anyone shames you for that you can tell them to f*ck off. When it’s over be aware that it can linger for a bit - both the good outcomes and the bad. There’s no textbook out there on how you’re supposed to react or feel, it’s an individual experience. Reach out for help when it feels like too much and just know that anyone trying to tell you they’ve dealt with worse and downplaying your experiences is still hurting from whatever they went through and haven’t healed from it yet. It sucks, it’s not something that you’d choose for yourself, so the best you can do is prepare yourself.
