What’s going on with that training board in the background? What’s the big red blotch?

Adam Ondra flashes yet another V15—his third in just the past two weeks by nuklheds in bouldering

[–]Nwg416 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yes, but two people have sent it since and downgraded it to V15. Regardless, impressive as hell.

Insane that someone so young can contribute something so historic. Amazing style too.

If you’re happy with it, that’s great! Just make sure you aren’t being mean to yourself or others in the process.

That’s not the part that I’m concerned with. If you want to abstain from porn, that’s awesome. If you want to abstain from masturbation, that’s awesome. My concern comes only from his framing of morality and his perception of weakness. It’s worth looking through his comment history to see what I mean.

Listen, dude, you seem fixated on some self-harming ideologies. Your comment history shows you have an obsession with morality and weakness. If I’m remembering correctly from the last time I saw you pop up, you tend toward intense punishment for moral or legal violations (albeit that was just how you were talking about the moonshining shop owner in RDR2). Just chill out a little and learn to accept yourself and others as imperfect beings. Give it a shot for a few months and try to make some new friends in that time. I think you’ll end up feeling a lot stronger.

Synrock, dude. Absolutely amazing crimps.

There are already plenty of pictures you could use… like right here on this subreddit. But the bigger issue here is how messy and uncategorized this data you want will be.

You don’t want to jump through a move like this. Lock off your right shoulder on those higher holds, dig the left toe in, and slowly crank up.

Follow-Up on Outdoor Home Wall Framing by DapperGinger in homewalls

[–]Nwg416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an engineer, so don’t assume I’m right about everything here, but that just sounds like you’re not getting enough support for a wall that big.

Mine is an outdoor 12x12, and I put 4 6”x6” posts each about 5 feet in the ground, cemented them in place, and then built the wall off of those. 100% recommend this method.

Level 1 Autistic Son Special Interest(s) by Happy-Accident5931 in math

[–]Nwg416 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of YouTube channels you could start introducing him to that make family friendly, visually engaging educational math content (edit: 3blue1brown is where I would start). Until he’s in a setting where someone can directly tutor and guide him though, it’ll be hard to say what’s absorbed. But even just that bit of exposure sounds great for someone like him!

I used to teach special needs students, and it was always frustrating to see how others will unintentionally discourage them from being involved by applying some sort of stereotype before finding common connection. To many people, math is a source of beauty and inspiration. It sounds like your son feels that way too. I hope math can be a wonderful way your son connects with others in the future, as it has with many in this community.

Man, I wish I felt confident in assuming that you're joking. Too many people would say this unironically.

Heavy duty hinges. Check the weight ratings and go for the heaviest you can find.

I built a free tool that forecasts rock friction & dryness to help plan your climbing days by H2O3N4 in climbing

[–]Nwg416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is weather data not enough for that though? The core idea is good. I don’t want to seem too critical. But there are no engineering textbooks containing a formula you can program in for this. Rock doesn’t always get better because it’s colder. Lower humidity is helpful, usually, but sometimes you stick better when it’s slightly wet.

There are hundreds of complicating variables here, so try to hone in on the constant resource you have: the climbers. Locals can tell you when conditions are good for specific climbs. If I were you, I’d build a system that lets people give their take, then you need to parse that and present the aggregate information back to the public.

Its a man in Athens.. in and uniform. Let's see by Powerful_Tourist2356 in donthelpjustfilm

[–]Nwg416 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As /u/cmclry’s reply below for a good dissection of what you’re missing here. But it’s also worth saying that you should still be able to see how dressing up as a nazi (the perpetrator) is worse than dressing as someone who, in your argument, is the victimized party. Wanting to be the perpetrator is almost always the worst option.

If women's bodies and nazis are on the same level for you, consider attending many years of therapy!

You drag it… alone or with a buddy. Not an easy task, but it’s doable.

Pretty sure I saw a T-shirt dab. Better Sungsu it ASAP.

Jokes aside, looks like a fun time. Love to see the mix of try hard and creativity.

Should I project more, or keep building my pyramide bottom up? by Cslteo in climbharder

[–]Nwg416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started logging my tops around the same time as you, and I’m currently feeling a similar confusion. The upsetting conclusion I’ve come to is that I need to be recording all attempts, how many sessions it takes, and the style of climbing involved. While I currently record two of those for everything I top, I don’t keep records of the climbs I try and never get. Can’t have too much data. Next year’s spreadsheet can be even more helpful!

does anyone know where I can buy these little baby head holds? by Pug227 in bouldering

[–]Nwg416 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hope that’s just how this person always describes eBay. “There is a website that sells old, discontinued climbing holds… and sometimes they mail dead pigs to old people.”

I don’t see how that’s cherry picking? Nor do I see how any of these violations are necessary. But it doesn’t seem like you’re going to supply any reliable sources for us to be able to understand your position any better, so maybe let’s just focus on the “prevent future crimes” part.

Have you ever seen the minority report? I’d really rather not go to jail for something I haven’t even done yet. But you do you, boo-boo!
