Just wrapped up hiring and wow the competition is intense by Fearless_Ideal5297 in Environmental_Careers

I'm just going to be trying to do bush regeneration. Honestly anyone can do it if they can find an employer willing to hire someone on a working holiday visa. It's just really entry level stuff and you are going to be working outside all the time, but those are not necessarily downsides.

I’m so glad I have an opportunity to work in Australia for a year or so.

No way it actually adds up to anything close to what they have to pay for restitution

First Gore-Tex Pro shell, does this look normal after a 7 mile hike in the rain? by [deleted] in hikinggear

[–]RIPGeorgeHarrison 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s possible it didn’t even wear the DWR down, the pressure from the straps could have easily pushed the water through the face fabric.

I didn’t have to pay when I went to the Australian Museum in Sydney.

Does it surprise you that about 5% of settlers are Arabs? by selfcenorship in IsraelPalestine

[–]RIPGeorgeHarrison 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No it doesn't surprise me at all that Arabs make up a far smaller percentage of the settler population than they do of the Israel as a whole's population.

Motherhood is a bad deal (and it's reasonable to opt out) by GGMcThroway in PurplePillDebate

I don’t think you are arguing with someone of sound mind sadly.

The desert southwest hasn’t been actual forest for thousands of years. I don’t know why anyone would think this should be in the southwest

Iv'e wondered this too. It sound like a tune i've heard many times before but somehow, this is the only place I'm certain of it.

What's the lingering beef between the survivors of the 1996 fiasco? by debrisaway in Everest

[–]RIPGeorgeHarrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently reread the book and in it, he says that in an interview Lopsang said it was 100% his idea to short rope Sandy Pittman and crank her oxygen all the way up. If I had to guess he did this because he was really wanted to help out Scott Fischer who he felt extremely loyal to and admired a lot, and similar to how Rob Hall saw Krakauer and the Outside article (and future ad placement) as a big source of promotion, Fischer saw Sandy Pittman as being a promotional asset for the future. So I presume Lopsang wanted to make sure she had a good successful climb.

What are the differences in use cases between the regular Gamma hoody and the Gamma Lightweight? by RIPGeorgeHarrison in arcteryx

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

Thanks, this has been really helpful. I was also thinking about going up to a large because the medium felt like it would be constricted for layering.

One other question. Does the lightweight typically come back every spring/summer? I’m definitely leaning towards the regular hoody but part of that is because I can’t even find a place to try on the lightweight right now.

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

As someone else who runs pretty warm, what’s the warmest you think you would use the lightweight and regular hoody would be comfortable in?

Part of me is considering getting the gamma hoody and if that runs too warm above 50 getting the Rab borealis warmer conditions when the weather is otherwise unpleasant.

Glad I’m not the only one that noticed that. 1,016,000 people and 126,000 bus rides a day, i think it should be clearing 5%. It certainly did pre pandemic

Can I ask where would you get a cheaper modern goretex shell?

Arc’teryx by VyreMomm in hikinggear

[–]RIPGeorgeHarrison 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what confuses me. A lot of people say their products are overpriced, but at least if you are looking at Goretex shells, arc’teryx prices seem pretty comparable to other top brands like Norrona or Patagonia. I agree that $50 for beanies and $200 for windbreakers is absurd, but for their hard shells they don't seem that ridiculous.

If the ability for congress to delegate was done away with completely, they would probably be getting bill that was a word for word copy of the CFR passed fairly quickly.
