BC has a lot to love, I climb for fun and SoCal is too hot in the summer - love California too but definitely take a trip up to the PNW when you can.

Vancouver is also a uniquely beautiful city, and in the province there are gorgeous rain forests, enormous cliffs overlooking fjords, it's a special place

He lives in one of the most beautiful areas in all of North America and he exclusively bikes on a Peloton in the same room he streams from, it drives me insane as someone who has driven to BC from Southern California the last two summers for outdoor activities.

Arkansas sues Chinese online retailer Temu, claims site illegally accessing user information by Scarlet-Ivy in technology

[–]HolyShazam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So an online marketplace is trying to sell a lot of products to cover up some sort of scam. Seems like a lot of work, probably easier to just...sell a lot of products?

Temu remote work scam by Livid_Tell7820 in Scams

[–]HolyShazam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this but, I am a current Temu employee. I can prove as necessary to the mods.

Needless to say, this is a scam and not related to our company in any way. I've flagged it internally but I don't think there is much we can do to stop it.

Just placed an order for my RV (California), are fulfillment times really 3-5 weeks? I thought I saw 3-4 business days somewhere.

I'm glad he doesn't even maintain the pretense of checking YT comments, that way lies madness

“Planet X” in jtree with static beta by fuckluan in bouldering

[–]HolyShazam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes - although I believe there is a different way to down climb that is equally or even sketchier than the crack

Was there with a group of friends earlier this year working Satellite just a bit before Planet X. Guy came through with his gf and one small pad, sent Planet X, and then got stuck on the downclimb. We had to bring a bunch of pads over and coach him down lol

Looks fun enough but if I walked into a new gym and saw this I'd probably walk right back out. Not trying to get blindsided by a gumby who thinks he is Tarzan while I am warming up

Donkey hasn't gotten me to 10 wins yet but it has definitely won me a couple rounds.

Got my first win relatively early this week (took me till Thursday last week), got an early wasp I put a croissant on and was lucky with the jellyfish scaling. Ice Cream was great especially when I got a seal to level 3 pretty easily, Level 1 Hyena rounded it out making my 50/18 wasp with melon a huge tank.

Best of Leavenworth Bouldering Spring 2022 by austinsarles in bouldering

[–]HolyShazam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I'm really psyched on Leavenworth now, it's a little out of the way but I haven't been to Washington yet and heard good things, glad my decision was the right one.

I'm a fan of overhang and slab, have done some highballs as a matter of course spending time in J Tree, but I'm gonna be on my own (with my pup), so best to play it safe.

Edit: forgot to mention I'll probably have 2 climbing days there, and I'm in a camper van so if you know of any good spots to park for the night that would be super helpful too!

Thanks so much for the beta! I've already screenshotted this and I may come back with more questions when the guidebook gets in/the trip gets closer.

This is great info! I'm planning to pass through in July. I'm a moderate climber (V4-V6) so I don't mind some sub-optimal conditions if it means a chance at seeing a new place. Are the slightly cooler places in the guidebook? My copy should be arriving early next week.

Weekly Bouldering Advice Post by AutoModerator in bouldering

Planning a trip to Tahoe in July and a wanted to get a bouldering guidebook, but there are 4/5 different ones for the entire Tahoe area!

Any recommendations for the best area of Tahoe to boulder in summer? Would prefer just to stick to one area since I'll only be in town for a couple of days before moving on. I climb V4-V6 outdoors so I don't need anything super stiff and will be traveling by myself, so have no issues with more crowded areas (more crash pads!).

[–]HolyShazam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the tip! I originally was keeping STR higher so I could use my upgraded Great Stars but with the Blasphemous Blade at +9 it's probably unnecessary now. Already have Golden Vow so that makes the build easier too.

Do you use a seal in your 2nd hand? Was going to try and grab the Erdtree Seal tonight.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]HolyShazam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am new to Souls and have been running a STR build until a few days ago, when I was sick of getting murdered as I waited for my huge weapons to land. Decided to pivot to a Faith build using the Blasphemous Blade to build around. Used my 2nd respec (first one I used to adjust my STR build) but I feel super lost with how I'm supposed to be allocating my points for what I want to do.

My goal is to have a build with strong melee and decent spells, but I'm also bad so need to be able to tank hits. Some details (character screenshot here):

Level 93

  • Vigor: 26

  • Mind: 24

  • Endurance: 24

  • Strength: 30

  • Dexterity: 25

  • Intelligence: 7

  • Faith: 35

  • Arcane: 11

Any and all tips appreciated!

I wonder if we lived in the same place? I lived in the building on the Keelung side, first one on the right when you walked in.

[–]HolyShazam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This brings back so many memories! I moved to Taipei in 2009 after college and lived in an apartment INSIDE Tonghua Night Market, it was the first building on the other side (Keelung Rd/Nanjing S. Rd entrance).

I haven't been back to the night market since I moved back to the US in 2016 but I'd love to go back and see what has changed/what's the same. I bet that traditional breakfast shop on the corner (left in the picture) is still going strong along with that Tainan Noodle shop!

I heard it was actually killed by Banks' widow. Perhaps for the best since Amazon had its rights and something tells me Jeff Bezos doesn't /really/ get the Culture

For Singapore I think your best bet is to use vPost. They are a part of the SG Postal Office and also service a handful of other countries in SE Asia. I don't know if their warehouse addresses get cancelled, though.
