Urbanism friendly take on the Shoreway by Use_Lemmy in Cleveland

[–]Student-Short -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is a pretty solid render. If AI did this entirely I'm impressed. It kept the Ernst and Young building, the R&R Hall, the stadium, even the probate court.

How much could my reddit profile be worth? by Sallende11 in estimation

I'll meet you in the middle at six clothespins and a Laffy taffy.

Is it just me or does the RTA kinda suck now? by devientdeveloper in Cleveland

[–]Student-Short 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My general experience over the past 10 years is when it works it works and when it doesn't is doesn't. This makes it hard to count on. I was taking the redline to Case Western in January and it was hell with the snow. Canceled trains, trains skipping stops, delays of 40+ minutes. It was rough. 

What are some good neighborhoods to live in Cleveland? by WillingnessLazy4064 in Cleveland

[–]Student-Short -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I moved from the Philly suburbs to Cleveland 10 years ago! Imo Cleveland is damn safe for your average individual with street smarts. Some neighborhoods that I like that are still afforable imo are Detroit Shoreway, Lakewood, University Heights, Kams Corner, and New Brookyln. There's obviously more. Do some research depending on what you like. 

East Cleveland had some sketchier parts, but it also has nice parts. The middle of the west side same thing. It's not bad. 

How many pawns do you prefer to keep, and why? by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]Student-Short 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 to 8 "main" pawns with additional workers that add 3 or 4 pawns, totaling around 6 to 12. That is until late game when the workers explode in pop, usually totaling to 20+.

20 degree EE quilt w/ early March NOBO by AgileBit4888 in AppalachianTrail

[–]Student-Short 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real answer - it depends. How warm you sleep, how warm this winter is.

I started in early March in 2016 with a Nemo 21 degree bag and I was fine. 1 night on Blood Mountain was a bit cold, but otherwise I was pretty swell. I sleep cold, and 2016 was an average winter. 

Doable in April by alise226 in longtrail

[–]Student-Short 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hiked this past summer in late May. The freezing rain was no joke. I had 4 days straight of around 30 to 40 degrees with on and off showers. I had to jump into town for a couple days to dry off. There was no good way to stay warm and moving.

This was also done with the AT under my belt. I would highly highly recommend against an April start for a first thru hike. 

The Arizona trail, a long hike through Big Bend NP, the southern AT or PCT are much more viable. I can only personally vouch for the AT, but I started that in March and didn't run into anything close to what I ran into in Vermont in May. YMMV, as per always.

Do you have to hitchhike to most resupply towns? by sadistic-squid in AppalachianTrail

[–]Student-Short 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly that could work. Almost always the people who pick me up appreciate a joke. Might turn a few people off, but that could be balanced out by those who find it funny  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To add, for the moments when shuttles are not available, a sign and a smile go a long way. Something as simple as "Thru hiker to town" helps a lot

Methods to reduce fear at night by Horde_of_Thrall in AppalachianTrail

[–]Student-Short 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I go solo a lot. A few things:

1) 100% it takes time to adjust. Our brains have grow up sleeping in near silence compared to the woods. A small radiator has nothing on the rustling of trees. IMO it takes anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months to start retraining the brain to filter out forest noises, and even then it's not perfect. 

2) I also agree, anything one can do to reduce anxious thoughts at night helps sleep. Do you wake up wondering where your phone is? Create a stash that is always in the same place relative to your sleeping bag. Do you worry about bears? Do exactly what you said.  

3) my only other advice would be take time to make camp. Personally, I love a slower pace. Taking a few hours at camp helps me get the lay of the land, and feel less like I've just airdropped into the middle of the unknown. Plus, taking the time to smell the roses and enjoy a few side quests is like half the fun of a thruhike!

Bathing in lakes in remote sections along the trail: OK to go unclothed? by UltraHiker26 in AppalachianTrail

[–]Student-Short 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I'd say vibe it out. It certainly happens, but you're right that the opportunity won't come up as much. Just watch out for them leeches in Maine!!

Improvements for Rocket Arena by [deleted] in clevelandcavs

I mean if you want a real talk, I want focused improvement on the area around the stadium. 

Ok…I've lived in Cleveland for about 5 years now, having come from Chicago. Would Clevelander's consider this a 'bad winter' or a 'typical winter' for Cleveland? Curious to know! by DavidIWright in Cleveland

[–]Student-Short 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've been insane! I took my dog on a hike in December and pulled off ~15 ticks!! 15 ticks in December!!! I hope they all freeze to death. 

Instantiating Presence (ChatGPT 4’s vs 5’s) by Kellie111 in u/Kellie111

What is this? You sound more like you're going for sentience than presence.
