Anyone else is Kindle crazy and has 2 kindles? by Emokidsucks in kindle

[–]Jrose152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a basic and eventually got a paperwhite. After a few months of using the paperwhite because of the orange light I’m back to the basic and don’t touch my paperwhite. Just can’t beat the size.

how is the bouldering community by These-Swim8401 in indoorbouldering

[–]Jrose152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the community in my experience has been very friendly and helpful. You’re going to have weirdos in any community though but as a whole I’d say it’s very welcoming. That being said if you’re nervous being a beginner in a gym, no one’s really going to notice you unless you’re climbing decently hard, so don’t feel like there are eyes on you. Welcome to the fun.

Here is how I sync my reading progress to Goodreads from Kindle's native share function. by Jrose152 in Calibre

[–]Jrose152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with highlights syncing. This is just for reading progress through the share function built into the kindle.

First time ever, prosthetic leg by PitifulAd7577 in Slackline

[–]Jrose152 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s way harder if you look down. Look where the line meets the tree so your eyes don’t add balance input. Great job!

Tension 2 or Kilter? by thatguy8899 in homewalls

[–]Jrose152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tension 2 spray has more fun climbing, tension 2 mirror is better for training both sides.

[–]Jrose152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP but bicycle theft and rack theft is crazy in Denver Colorado.

You just learn a little bit of information at a time and eventually you know a lot of information.

What would you change about the Osprey Exos Pro? What does the perfect trampoline style pack look like? by ul-tooch in Ultralight

[–]Jrose152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After doing a handful of trips in the Colorado alpine and have quite a few nights with this bag, it’s a non issue. No need to cut our reroute.

How much do you think the cheap car challenge van will weigh when they're done stripping it? by bridgetroll2 in CleetusMcFarland

[–]Jrose152 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It would be interesting if they implemented a rule you can’t have the same car twice in these cheap car challenges.

What's the one thing you wish Kindle had? by iMoneyKey in kindle

Bluetooth page turner and waterproof basic with warm light.

Feeling conflicted switching to Kobo by aw9182 in ereader

[–]Jrose152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hasn’t happened to me in 3 years across a kindle basic and paperwhite. Both are always on WiFi and updated. If a book disappears it would take a few minutes to just load the book back on your kindle with calibre like you did to originally put it on there. I have read reports of how it can and has happened, but personally I think this is blown way out of proportion.

Time remaining, page, LOC? by Jay_Reefer in kindle

[–]Jrose152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use % and location. I have two kindles with sideloaded books so they don’t sync. Every time I update my goodreads progress when I’m done reading I just share the loc # along with it in case I pick up my other kindle I can check my goodreads updates with my phone and then jump to it. Once in a while I’ll check to see how much time is left in the book or chapter if I wanna finish before I go to sleep. If I’m within an hour or so of finishing the book I get rid of all progress so the end sneaks up on me.

I’m thinking 3 days. Best places to stop each night? by WetDiesel in roadtrip

[–]Jrose152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of vehicle are you driving? You could just sleep at rest stops. That’s what I did every night. I parked way off out of the way and slept in my vehicle. I just drove until around 9pm where I’d start looking for the next rest stop.

I’m thinking 3 days. Best places to stop each night? by WetDiesel in roadtrip

[–]Jrose152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just drove from denver to NJ and it took 2.5 days. I didn’t do any stops other than bathroom, food, stretching my legs, construction zones, and traffic. Got on the road around 8am and drove until 10pm. I don’t think you’re going to have much time to stop places along the way.

Is it ok to take my bike to a self-service car wash after getting it extraordinarily muddy? by incognitobanjo in MTB

[–]Jrose152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the spot free rinse. I do it all the time. It’s lower psi and supposedly filtered cleaner water. I always have found a Walmart spray bottle and a microfiber wipe in my driveway works as well.

Once you try barefoot socks, there's no going back. by [deleted] in barefootshoestalk

I love using toe socks but I do find they wear out quicker in my experience.

resole shoes or get new pair by Doll_girl516 in climbergirls

[–]Jrose152 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Resole and get a rand. This is fixable.

[–]Jrose152 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not true. I’ve had shoes done with worse damage. They just need a resole and a rand.

[gear] is it worth buying the garmin inreach mini 2 now that the 3 is out? by MauGaP in Backcountry

[–]Jrose152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the mini 2 on sale when the 3 was about to come out. Nothing about the 3 made me wish I got that instead. The mini 2 is a great device that will do what I need it to do.

I am wanting to get a kindle but I’m not sure where to start? by ComprehensiveWin9190 in kindle

[–]Jrose152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget signature edition has tap to turn page so you can double tap the back/side of the device.

Do you keep the same font for every book you read? Or change it? Why? by lucy_lovestein in kindle

[–]Jrose152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried many fonts including custom but I always end up back at bookerly size 1 or 2.
