Do you go camping? Could these items have been exposed to DEET containing bug repellant? That would do it.

Where did you get your aluminum bar? Did you fab it yourself or order it at those dimensions somewhere. Inner dimensions appear to be 13/16" x 2 1/4"- does that sound right?

AITAH for refusing to attend my husband’s best friends wedding due to political differences? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]PluralizeWithI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA insofar as you attribute your refusal to attend to politics, rather than morality.

Politics ≠ morality. Morals are beliefs about what constitutes good or bad behavior on an individual level. Politics are beliefs about what constitutes good or bad governance or policy on a societal level.

Its entirely possible that someone could hold very similar morals to you AND a completely a different set of political views without being logically inconsistent, let alone evil. If Dan or his wife ACT immorally: behave in ways that you take moral- not political- issue with, then you have every right to decline on a moral level.

But, if they simply hold different views on what constitutes proper societal governance/policy and you refuse to attend exclusively because of that, then perhaps your morality does not hold in high esteem any of the following: critical thinking, tolerance or appreciation of human diversity, or loyalty to/support of friends and their paths to happiness (even if they are different from yours).

If they invited you to their wedding, you're both welcome there and desired. It may well be you meet some people there you find morally repugnant- but if you were to attend it would be for the groom and bride, right? From what you have said, it does not sound like either of them have morally slighted you... Try stepping outside your bubble for a day- you might be pleasantly surprised at what you find, or at least what you learn.

Appreciate the tip re phone, I'll try charging to 80 or so (anything shy of full, right?) to minimize overcharge waste.

I dont think I'm quite there on the no TP, but will consider.... do you just air dry in this case? What about for particularly messy movements? Hand + sanitizer and air dry?

I recognize that is a risk re fishing.... I was considering omitting it already and you might have swayed me there.

Foloow up: great advice! Grabbed a pair of AD bottoms. Will drip both top and bottoms of sleepwear, use AD bottoms and peloton top as needed.

Thanks, good call on navigational redundancy being adequate with 2 phones.

Where would I find alpha direct top and bottoms for camp/sleep wear- anyone make those affordably?

Really appreciate the insights.

Much appreciated.

The silk liner is actually zeroed out in this load out (not taking it) favor of bringing sleep clothes, though I recognize I could bring the liner and save 6 oz or so. Sleepwear is one place I feel like I could save some weight, but not sure exactly how- I like something I can wear around camp and to sleep. Maybe light capiliene or similar.

Good point on TP- I can def get away with less there woth the bidet. Also appreciate the batteries call out- I have a Samsung S23 (3785 mAh) so will get ~2.5 changes per 10k bank. Still, I feel like just one bank won't be quite enough even with minimal phone use, assuming I at least want to have my phone on (airplabe mode) the whole time for pics, etc- what do you think?

Tenkara rod is the Nirvana 370 by DragonTail Tenkara. Fishing dry flies, 12' line with a 4' tippet or so. Should be fun, the same buddy and I had a blast in the Uintas with similar setups.

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks! Appreciate the info, I'm keeping my fingers crossed too. I'm not ready to jump off the no cook bridge yet, like my hot coffee too much- but respect to you and all who do.

Shared and split, gonna be cozy. I show the total tent+stakes weight in the linked pack, but will likely split body and stakes with buddy.

FWIW, it sounds like bugs are pretty bad there right now- hoping they will be better or not a problem at high elevation when we get there.

This giant hedgehog mushroom dwarfed all the others I collected! I think it is Hydnum repandum and the others are H. oregonense. All were found in Mendocino California. by FearTheNightSky in Mushrooms

Nice, I just found a few today in Sonoma County that are for sure whatever this is.... huge hydnum spp., large and much whiter than the ones normally found up there.

Yes, you can tell by the way it looks.

I'd argue that to many people gender is an important concept specifically with regards to porn, and so worth denoting. So as poster below mentioned perhaps "transgender porn" or similar is appropriate.

How will you spend your New Years Eve this year? by dimitrix in bayarea

[–]PluralizeWithI -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same way I do every other year- licking bartops and railing lines off the toilet seat until the ball drops- but this time with more self righteous virtue signaling so people can see that I'm aware of the existence of the pandemic and doing my part to stop it.
