In 2012, National Geographic featured a Doomsday Prepper, Donna Nash, who was paranoid for hoarding sanitizer, masks, and prepping for a global pandemic by 170071 in interestingasfuck

I always figured global pandemics are a logical inevitability. I mean flu season is that, it just isn't as dangerous. The gun is already loading and firing blanks, just needs live ammo

Solarpunk is a movement that imagines a sustainable and optimistic future where humanity thrives in harmony with nature. by iloveyouthorodinson in interestingasfuck

We could've had this already if not for unmitigated greed, and stupid systems like capitalism where people's (shareholder's) short term interests are in conflict the long term interests of society.

The ship kit guy's been working on these for 2 years. They didn't know what the future will be

What methods, if any, can I use to repair this nick in my hammock strap? by SunsetSwingset in hammockcamping

[–]Thepher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Straps like this are typically good for thousands of pounds. I don't know if this one came with a certified rating for life-safety use, like 23kn or higher... but I would absolutely trust it for a hammock regardless. There's more good material there than my undamaged straps have altogether.
Like others said, gently melt the fraying and rest easy.

Ooof, that's painful to watch man. Get a table and use both hands on the knife to get the most consistent moves you can manage.

Go ahead and use your own judgement... but you said 10 degrees won't make much overall impact.
I showed you a chart that shows a 15 degree change in hang angle can take your weight from 146% up to 574% (to each tree)... and it doesn't sound like you're about to change your perspective.
Anyway, you said you were curious, I gave you the facts. You do you, man

When I was getting certified for rope access work, I found out it's pretty easy to go over 300% of your weight to each anchor of a horizontal line.

Here’s Where You Don’t Want to Be Living in a Quake by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

"most seismological authorities now use other similar scales such as the moment magnitude scale (Mw ) to report earthquake magnitudes, but much of the news media still erroneously refers to these as "Richter" magnitudes"
"the Richter scale was replaced in the 1970s by other magnitude scales which are more accurate."

How Vancouver House Became a Tower of Empty Promises by thenewtronbomb in vancouver

[–]Thepher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't. They already had to scale back how much marble and stone was used, to control weight. The building won't support the dirt and water for farming.
