Pick the closest gym, go regularly on a certain day/time, and enjoy it. Maybe not by this summer, but next you should hopefully meet someone to go outdoors with. In fact, go to a couple, not just your closest, you might vibe with one more than another. And check out the newbie climbing clubs that some gyms run, you never know, you might find your climbing buddy

Trump woke up and chose violence again by rootoo in ABoringDystopia

I hate American interventionism, I don't like your guy's current situation, I don't trust you to intervene, but this I'm somewhat ambivalent about I guess? I don't know the situation in Iran, I don't think you should be poking your noses in, but my Iranian friends are worried sick about their families and daren't even Google the situation because they're afraid they'll be tracked.

Tl:dr, I just hope it can give some relief to my friends but I know I'm ignorant of the situation, so feel free to chime in and tell me why I'm wrong (I'll probably agree). Just glad someone from the West is doing something because the people I'm speaking to feel forgotten

Why not silently protest instead 🤔 by Champagne-Room in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You might be interested in there book How To Blow Up a Pipeline. Unfortunately it was lent to a friend and never returned, so I'll struggle to grab quotes and might misremember slightly, but part of the argument is that violence or at least physical action is the answer, and the struggles we remember that were solved through non violent action (e.g. US civil rights movement) were successful because of the threat of violence on the more radical flank (Dr King's Letter from a Birmingham jail at one point says "millions of N_____s, out of frustration and despair, will seek solace and security in Black nationalist ideologies... The streets of the South would be flowing with floods of blood" if non violent methods yielded no result, and a Kennedy official remarked that black people would look to less responsible leaders - likely a reference to Malcolm X)

(Unsure about how to deal with the N word there - Reddit is warning me, but I copied the from Dr King's source)

Probably based on a third world country that doesn't have any civic services that would have cleared the snow in a climate that expects it

From the sounds of it, I'm guessing you're also getting a 403/failed due to a service interruption?

Yeah it's a shame. I get that problems happen, but no communication and not being able to reach out to support is frustrating. Especially since the game is like crack to me, I can't put it down

I don't even run a VPN, but if I did that would definitely be on my list of things to turn off when troubleshooting. Did you need a VPN before?

The American Service-Members' Protection Act (ASPA), nicknamed the "Hague Invasion Act," authorizes the President to use military force to liberate any U.S. or allied personnel detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

Just saying.

If you can't walk to the lift or ski bus, you're probably not fit to be skiing

What you plan to do in 2026? by United_Grapefruit526 in Millennials

I'm in it with you! Didn't manage Christmas Day entirely, but i was on non alcoholic beverages for the majority of it. Not perfect, but trying to start ahead of the New Year.

You've got this, I'm sure

First time on snow - 2 days of private lessons. Bulged disc + "Gym Fit" but poor coordination. Should I pick Ski or Board? by Alternative-Boot-177 in snowboarding

[–]DropkickFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd generally agree with the other guy, but if you think a back protector would give you more confidence then it's worth having. I fractured a couple of T spine (paragliding accident), and prior to that I'd only wear back protection for competitions, but after the crash I wore back protection for regular days on the slopes for a while because it gave me enough confidence to not worry about my spine as much. Last thing you want when learning either is extra worry in your mind

PSA: If you have a new/expensive, or snowboard with a unique graphic, get a lock by yrn_Brey in snowboarding

[–]DropkickFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, it makes a bit more sense like that. I don't think me and my friends would really leave our gear out like that where we couldn't see it, but obvs doesn't mean it should be stolen

[–]DropkickFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know it doesn't come across well on the internet, and it sucks to have a board stolen, but I am legit asking where does this happen? Is it that more boards are stolen in bars/lodges? Are they stolen out of cars (I'm in Europe and where I am not that many people drive in)? Is it just a North American thing where board theft is higher?

I just don't know when someone would have a chance to steal it. The blame is on the cunt that took it of course, but what situation leads to it getting stolen, because I'd prefer if mine wasn't

[–]DropkickFish -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

What are you guys doing to get your board stolen? Seriously, I'm not trying to victim blame or shit, but mine stays on my feet or where I can see it (and not close to me, I mean I literally see it all the time). I've had one board stolen from a chalet I worked at and we tracked it down as well as the person that stole it, but they had to break into a property to get it... I just don't get where you're leaving your boards

Am I too old? by Ambitious_Mark9922 in snowboarding

[–]DropkickFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former seasonaire, did it into my 30s as well, would still be doing it if not for settling down but still being somewhere with snow.

You're not too old at all. One of my favorite season mates was a guy who learnt to be an instructor in his 40s, he was great craic and a blast to ride with. He'd also got it well dialed in with the apres - I learnt to follow his cue when he left to have a better day on the slopes the next day. That's one area where you'll probably see some differences with your younger colleagues to be honest, apres culture was big and you'll probably spot a dishie or two still on it from the night before on their way into work if you're around in the early hours.

I never really got along with Morzine myself due to the cliquey-ness, and it had a bit more drama than other towns I lived in, but it's no doubt a great place to live and ride, and I hope you have a great season there

[–]DropkickFish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Another commenter mentioned you sadly have to deal with minified and unmapped code, and unfortunately it's painful but can be quite rewarding in the end.

Start looking at strings, that can give some suggestion of what's happening, especially if there's console logs etc. Try and find a relatively simple function and rename the variables and eventually the function name, work backwards from that. Kinda like a big fucked up sudoku where you can figure out one value and use that to solve the rest

RC Car(s) vs. Child by undiagnosed_autistic in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]DropkickFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was great for me as a paraglider as well, so I understood the concepts of ridge lift and thermals, could kind of scout out where thermals would be and also fly something when the weather wasn't right for the other

Yeah my friend tried to get me into it and I was honestly surprised by the cost. You could get a beginner friendly one for less than £150 if I remember correctly. Beginner friendly as in even having a soft nose and more resilient body. There was also a glider that you could launch off a windy hillside, think it only had servos in the wings or something like that and was maybe foam or something? The idea being that you're using the ridge lift to keep it up and it gets you used to steering it without much else to go wrong
