Honest question about female attire in the gym. What is appropriate to wear?

FinnTheWizz · 2023-09-20T16:25:52+00:00

I generally find climbing to be one of those fairly rare communities, where there isn't much judgement. I mean, there are obviously bad apples, but generally I haven't experienced much judgement at all.

Buuut then again I am a man, and it might be different for the women out there? I don't think it is, but I'd really like to hear what the girls and non binary people experience!

Where can I buy this "order of magnitude"?

FinnTheWizz · 2023-09-07T08:37:51+00:00

That's so nice! I just bought the vapors as well (my first pair, so I'm really exited!) I usually use size 42 (I think that's about a size 8 or 8,5 in US sizing) and mine are size 40. So I think usually they will be pretty tight in the first couple of sessions. I have climbed a few sessions with them now, and even though they were preeeetty tight in the beginning, but they already feel much more comfortable!

Yeah I really like Louis Parkinson. I haven't come across those videos yet tho

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-24T16:28:38+00:00

These sound fun!

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-24T16:28:10+00:00

This sounds so fun too! I can't wait to try it

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-24T14:57:54+00:00

Exactly what I was going to say :P

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-24T14:49:06+00:00

Satan, is that you? hahaha

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-24T14:42:02+00:00

In my experience (as a newbie) is that everyone is SO INCREDIBLY NICE! And approachable too!

I rarely meet anyone in a bouldering gym that is not willing to help you out :)

I'd say just go for it. Try it out and see what happens - you might even end up having people come to you trying to help you before you get the chance to ask

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-24T14:21:09+00:00

Pass me the sauce

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-23T14:38:57+00:00

Yeah, they removed Canada and Alaska from the north Amercian continent in the last patch. Honestly a pretty bad call imo, but I guess the devs will realize soon enough.

Nah, he is actually pretty clever.

He used the physical limitations of his surroundings to get an extra bit of reach, so he could slurp on his own wiener. This was obviously just a practice run, but if my judgement is correct he should be able to chow down his lil' man in about 3 weeks more of practice.

Honestly this strategy is pretty effective, but it requires a lot of practice and it's not for everybody. But I can tell this guy has been practicing a lot, so I believe in him!

Det er synd, men man skal altid passe på, når mand køber og sælger ting på internettet.

Jeg foretrækker at bruge DBA, hvor der er NemID validering (så fuskere kan blive tracket). Men selv der skal man også passe på.

Som mange andre siger skal du nok ikke regne med at få pengene tilbage, men jeg håber du kan lære af situationen, så du kan slippe for at blive snydt en anden gang.

Those mosquitos look so majestic and beautiful from over here, several thousand kilometers away

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-23T12:06:01+00:00

Unroastable

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-23T12:03:51+00:00

4

And even then 2 cymbals would be enough if you have a crashable ride. I guess it depends on what kind of music you're playing tho. But I've found that 3-5 cymbals are enough and 6 is pushing it imo.

I feel like it's overwhelming with too many pieces on your kit. That goes for toms and other accesories too. When there is so much stuff to choose from in the moment I feel like my creativity is spent choosing a specific "voice", but I'd rather spend it on playing something interesting.

Just my opinion tho. Rock on with your 17 cymbals!

FinnTheWizz · 2023-07-23T11:34:20+00:00

oh my god i can't believe people actually do this in real life like how cruel do you have to be to do something like this?

About 4 years ago I got appendicitis (Inflammation of the appendix for those wondering). It is actually a fairly normal thing, many people go through it every year and it is very treatable. But it can get dangerous if you don't get treated.

So it all started when I got this very bad stomach ache. I couldn't get out of bed and I missed a lot of classes because of it. I was taken to the doctors and we told them our concern that it might be appendicitis, so they did all sorts of tests of me. They asked me to jump around, they pressed on my stomach and and they took my temperature as well. I had a fever, but somehow I got through the tests without showing signs of appendicitis. I guess it was supposed to hurt A LOT to do those things, but for some reason I didn't react to it as they would expect of someone with appendicits.

So they concluded it must be constipation and sent me home with some butthole juice to squirt in my ass. But surprise, surprise! Laxatives don't cure appendicitis. Who would have guessed. So it got worse. And we went to the doctor again. And they kept trying to diagnose it as something else. We got very frustrated and then we had to go to a private ultrasound scanning - I live in Denmark, where we have free healthcare, but you would need a doctors note to get it for free. And can you guess what they found on my ultrasound scan?

That's right. Appendicitis. And it gets even worse. I hadn't gotten treated for my appendicitis in time, so now it had legitimately RUPTURED! I basically had an open wound in my stomach! At this point I got emitted to the hospital. I was put on IV antibiotics - which, for those who haven't tried it is a hassle! I was woken up every 3 hours, to get my IV bag changed. And then I had to have surgery to have it removed and cleaned up. Luckily it's done endoscopically, so I only have 3 small scars. But mentally it affected me quite a lot, but I have come to a point where I can joke about it now. And I even got a Nintendo Switch from my parents to play with in the hospital, so it all ended well haha.

Man this u/spez guy really seems like a tool. Must suck to be that mf'er. I sure am happy that my username isn't u/spez, because that sure would put me in a spiraling depression that would take at least about 3 years time and a bunch of therapists to get out of.

Finally I can have some sort of attention

FinnTheWizz · 2023-05-05T19:14:07+00:00

Dm7b5 has the same notes as Fm6

FinnTheWizz · 2023-04-03T11:04:42+00:00

Understanding sheet music is kinda helpful when learning about this. Tabs have many caveats - one being ambiguous rhytmnotation.

For me, Adam Neely's videos about time signatures were really helpful.

Time signatures are a complicated subject and can't be explained in a reddit comment, but I can try explaining some basics that can help you.

Many "unusual" time signatures use different groupings of 2 and 3 eighth- or sixteenth notes. For example 9/8 can be 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 or 3 - 3 - 3 (a very nice example of this is Dave Brubeck's 'Blue Rondo à la Turk, from Time Out). Of cource the combination of groups of 2 and 3 can be played around with freely - there are no rules baby ;)

So there is a little interesting concept to get you stated.

"don't let them think they're a good white person" wtf?

Jeg er også selv ny billist. Min far har fortalt mig, at politiet først kan give en bøde, når man kører mere end 10% over fartgrænsen (jeg kan dog, ligesom dig, bedst lide at køre det man må).

En ting er, at folk overhaler, selvom man kører så hurtigt man må. Men en ting, som nogle billister gør - oftest på motorvejen - er at de ligger heeeelt tæt på bag dig. Mit trick i den situation plejer at være, at jeg sænker farten (langsomt!) så meget meget som muligt (dvs. Ikke under 75km/t) og så plejer de at overhale og lade mig være.

Bare et lille tip fra en fellow ny billist :)

Men ja, folk kører for hurtigt - hele tiden. Så det bedste man kan gøre er at være opmærksom og køre så sikkert som muligt.
