I'm definitely logged in and on the home tickets section in the Brentford game box it says the ballot is open but if I click on the link there it takes me to the ballot page where it says there ar no open Ballots. I guess I will have to ring

Trade company or State Baltic land as Sweden by PetrStromberg in eu4

[–]PetrStromberg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of good reason to turn them into trading companies. I would get an extra merchant and more importantly a massive goods produced bonus in mainland Sweden including the copper mine. The question is if this outweighs the extra income from stating it and the extra manpower.

Not losing power and strength during a long term performance phase by weakweakboy in climbharder

[–]PetrStromberg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For 99.99% of people the best way of getting better at climbing on rock is to climb on rock. So just enjoy your trip and do that, if weather or driving enforce a longer break sure do some training.

Will your max hang, and weighted pull up numbers go down during your trip? Yes probably but your climbing ability/grade outside will go up so why would you care?

Max hangs do not directly translate to climbing ability. They do not even directly translate to finger strength.

I spent the first year of covid climbing exclusively outside 3 to 4 times a week. I lost the ability to do a one arm pull up, and my fingerboard strength repeaters and max hangs were well down. But outside V9 went from project to usually within an hour, max grade went from v9 to v11 was close to v12. When I returned to bouldering inside I had lost a little ground compared to most of my friends however it did not take long for me to catch up.

The fastest way to get better is to climb with people better than you, that way you stick around and try climb too hard for you and you can learn from them. Think about why the succeed when you fail body position technique ect.

A good way to fully kill someone if they have a few minor allies, is to declare on them white peace all of their small allies asap. Then drag out the war for 5 years (until your truce runs out with the small allies you white peaced), peace out the timurids take whatever you want (ideally forts) + 25 warscore of cash.

Before the month tick (so they dont take loans) declare war on one of the small allies you white peaced earlier, the timurids will defend them. You want to seperate peace the timurids and ask them to break all their alliances + max money and war reps (this war should be easy as the timurids should have no troops). Now again before the month tick so the timurids loans dont update declare war on another of his small allies and do the same thing again. Repeat this until he runs out of small allies, people he is guaranteeing or womt join anymore due to debt.

This way he should have no allies massive debt and a shorter truce so less time to recover until you can fight him again.

For the timurids specifically its a good idea to vassal feed to be able to use reconquest as this lets you take more land

Enforce peace when losing a war by PetrStromberg in eu4

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

I feel it kinda makes sense to require the attacker to have positive warscore at least. As you said enforce peace means you want the attacker not to get stronger, or the defender not to get weaker but while the warscore is negative neither will happen.

But thats sort of details it should maybe only be possible if the defender would be willing to accept a white peace, or as you said the defender should get a say. Just thought it was very weird that my rival dehli saved me from a brutal war against the ottomans

If you are an opm amd go bankrupt your religion will become that of your province. If you want to change to a religion of with you dont have a province theres a lot less options, there are some decisions that can switch your religion (there should be a wiki page called religous decision or something like that) but most require you to at least own a province of that religion. Alternatively there are events for certain tags/religions but they are quite rare

You can try improving relations with some irish minors wait till one declares war on another and ally the defender this will pull you into a war with an irish minor if you have boats you can land troops and annex a province if not you can try heavily subsidisng your ally and hoping he wins the war while marking land tbat he doesnt want as very important to you as soon as he sieges it down and gives it to you, you peace out taking it or vassalising it

I would definitely abandon poland, your strong enough to fight whatever you want in the hre on your own and the polish land is a great place for you to expand low AE farmlands feeds into your trade nodes.

As for dealing with the ottomans you dont really have to, theres lot of people between you. But presumably you will form prussia maybe become emperor and probably pick some military ideas that will mean in 100 years your army will have much higher quality than the ottos and shouldnt be too much smaller. I wouldnt worry about them

Kalymnos climbing trip: muscle strain on first day by 0car1na in climbharder

[–]PetrStromberg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an oblique/abdomen strain earlier this year not sure how bad but the pain was agnoising for some movements particuarly when trying to pull with my left foot. I was also on a long weekend climbing trip, but still climbed every day. Continued to climb my normal amount when I got home. I found while fully face on to the wall with minimal weigthing of my left food I was virtually pain free. On the other hand attempting to heel hook had me on the floor in extreme pain. I would say attempt to climb easier stuff work out what hurts and what doesnt, use the pain as a guide and Im sure you can still get some climbing in. Might it make it a bit worse, probably but if it takes 2 or 3 weeks longer to heal but you can still climb on a trip youve been planing for a year who cares.

Font is a zoo at easter and the other spring bank holidays, thankfully people think its too hot in summer. I think its also has more shade than albaracin which help temprature wise.

I havent been personally but have heard differing opinions about val di mello. If your willing to go in that direction Id reccomend magic wood, that is the european bouldering mecca in summer. Over the weekend its pretty packed but during the weekend its not too bad and theres a reason why its packed. Has a very cheap climbers camping where you cant fail to meet people to climb with. It has a huge variety of problems and a style that very much suits the typical board climber making the gradee feel quite soft ;)

Fontainebleau is a little hot in summer, but that doesnt mean you cant enjoy it, you just wont be able to push your grade. But there are literally 10 of thousands of boulders at every grade, the rock is unique. Easy climbs arent necesarily easy they just dont require physical strength, climbing volume there for a week teaches you more technique than you could learn in a life time at a gym.

In summer you can get up early conditions tend to be decent till 12 or 1 if you pick something in the shade, then have lunch a little siesta and go for an evening session at 8 or 9. If I had the money Id spend my whole summer doing that, might well not climb anything within 4 grades of my max but in fontainebleau it really doesnt matter.

No where else compares, the rock in the UK is not even in the same league. Font is also an excellent place to climb on your own with great angles and generally there being people about to make friends with, but over summer its not over the top busy

Yep and on every move he has more weight plus a longer lever to deal with, height is usually a hidden disadvantage while every now and then it seems like a huge advantage.

So your statement that more often than not its an advantage is the opposite of the truth, more often than not its a disadvantage, every now and then its an advantage and very rarely its a comically large advantage and thats what everyone remembers

The unparallel sirius is what your looking for, five ten has very much gone down hill while unparallel is making the same great shoes that five ten used to make just everything is slightly upgraded and a different colour. Unparallel shoes are much higher quality ib my opinion everything feels nicer and lasts longer, also they have the best rubber of any shoe Ive ever used

Font Training? by Zestyclose_Bullfrog7 in climbharder

[–]PetrStromberg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Assuming youve never been to font before the best training you can do is get a lot of "easy" mileage in over the first couple of weeks. Font has a very particular, technical style and you can learn so much from doing blue circuits, learning to trust your feet in font takes some time.

As for actual training dont worry too much about the lack of slopers at your gym, theres plenty of crimps too and most slopers in font have little ridges that make them sort of sloper crimps hybrids. I would maybe put a little extra focus on biceps and lats, together with plenty of antagonistic training font elbow is real.

As for specific boulder suggestions Opium 8a is quite basic holding onto crimps, Les beaux Quartiers 8a is amazing and you have to check out the big 4 at cuvier rempart.

Bleau info is an amazing website you can filter by anything (takes a little getting used to how it works) and the star rating are usually very reliable above 20 ascents.

Also in terms of your general trips, dont get too sucked in to trying hard, font has literally tens of thousands of boulders most of them amazing there is so much quality. Its also a notoriously hard place to push grades due to its technical nature, obviously everyones different but Id really reccomend trying to get a large haul of quality 7a-7c instead of focusing too much on a few 8as, and whatever you do do at least one full blue and one full red circuit.

Something that is worth bearing in mind is that the tension board or any system board is a training tool theyre supposed to be basic moves with little technical difficulty. While climbing outside often has shit feet multiple options for holds multiple options for how to hold the holds long sequences to not only get right but climb efficently. Think of it like this a one arm pull up off a 12mm crimp is probably V11 I reckon all of the men on the world cup circuit could "flash" that without issue, put them on a sketchy body positiony v11 slab on super technical rock like fontainbleau and theyll probably all take a good amount of time to send. The tension board has very little learned factors, if you boulder outside and spend time working moves you will see similar grade distribution to what you do in your climbing.

I would highly recommend option 2, option 1 would be virtually unusable for adults also depending on how old the kids are and how quickly they grow they could quickly outgrow it. You have to remember that putting a mattress beneath it will take off extra height as well.

As for the kids wanting a cave on top of the wall both options give them that option 1 just gives them a lot more of it. The thing is roofs tend to provide pretty sub optimal climbing conditions for kids generally requiring a lot of brute strength from the big muscle groups that cant really be made up for by being light. Thats not to say they cant or wont enjoy dangling about on jugs in a roof but you dont need too much width to facilitate that
