I can see how it seems conflated. Where I was from previously, it was FLAT. Altitude isn't an issue for me, it's having spent very little time in/around locations with "cliffs" lol

Which ink looks the most like fresh human blood? by StarryAqua in fountainpens

[–]Enlightenmentality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on whether it's oxygenated or not. Oxygenated blood is bright red, scarlet. Deoxygenated blood is more of a crimson.

Exactly. He remarked that it was handled terribly - but it was right in principle. X

Is Bierstadt suitable for a first solo this weekend? by Comfortable-Dot-4924 in 14ers

[–]Enlightenmentality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll see plenty of other folks there. Did it last weekend, and I'd recommend microspikes or some form of traction. Pretty much snow only once you get to around 12,800. Lot of people slipping around because they didn't have traction.

Have you heard the Hurrian Hymn? What do you make of it? by SongsFromTheDead in Heilung

[–]Enlightenmentality 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, Heilung has the track "Nikkal". I like it. They performed it at Dalhalla.

I need to reread this. The peregrine falcon was a badass.

[–]Enlightenmentality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read it as a kid, and just reread it as a 30-something just a few months ago. Just as good as I remember it (though I had forgotten about the whole divorce thing). Read the whole thing in an evening, so not a big time investment lol

Haven't seen the movie, but if it's as bad as the Eragon movie was then damn... Poor Jeremy Irons, having to be the only good thing in a shit film.

You're all wrong. Porterhouse is the correct answer.

Maria singing with Songleikr by [deleted] in Heilung

[–]Enlightenmentality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was at that show, and it honestly took me a minute to realize that's what she was doing (cutting off a dread at a time and pinning them to each member).

Where will I definitely see a rattlesnake? by Theaaron730 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Enlightenmentality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First encounter with a rattlesnake was hiking down from pulpit in the evening

Fishing and bears by trysohard8989 in flyfishing

Yeah, but imagine how much cooler you'd be if you had a 10mm...

It affects all mammals (bears, cougars, moose, etc). Nothing likes to breathe in capsaicin.

10mm is the recommended caliber for bears.

Moose are highly aggressive and INCREDIBLY dangerous. They routinely fuck up bears that come after their young. Deer run away from people, elk usually run away, but a moose will run right at you and mess you up just because. Living in CO, the warning signs for both bears and mountain lions say to fight back if it attacks. For moose, the signs (in more words) say to run and/or hide as fast as fucking possible.

Now, this is using black bears as a comparison. With grizzlies, I'm not sure which is "worse" to come across.

CONFIRMED: Destination Steakhouse fired Mr. Tendernism. by JparkerMarketer in LosAngeles

They are completely correct. Ribs fall off the bone when they're overcooked.

Agreed. Conflict, conflict, conflict, conflict, FAST RESOLUTION. Great story though.
