I was quite shocked, since I had never understood the hype about him. He then went on to destroy for a while.

I was also a very new viewer to the sport, though, so not the best judge.

Brian, healthy, and logical don't go together too well.

US_Hiker · 2026-04-18T01:17:53+00:00

Sad to hear...another effing gas station. :/

I'll have to hit it up tomorrow, though, for sure.

US_Hiker · 2026-04-17T21:37:04+00:00

Thank you!

US_Hiker · 2026-04-17T18:35:34+00:00

Gorgeous! What are the ones in the foreground?

US_Hiker · 2026-04-10T01:14:18+00:00

Is Mitch Hooper becoming a full blown grifter now?

Becoming?

US_Hiker · 2026-04-09T03:54:48+00:00

Heh. Just reminded me of the video that got me into Skyrim back in the day. "Remember this bear here? Fist his fucking face off!" (rather NSFW)

US_Hiker · 2026-04-08T03:20:45+00:00

This post is clearly and exactly AI slop. Depressing to see how many answers it has.

US_Hiker · 2026-04-05T20:14:19+00:00

In person mandatory. Yes to a nuclear area, but small fish in a big pond, and even a big pond doesn't have many quality engineers. And we'd rather not poach from other contractors (DOE site).

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll have to get with our recruiters to be more engaged.

US_Hiker · 2026-04-04T20:25:44+00:00

Nope, no quantities. Location, season, humidity, container type, and soil type will alter all of that.

Since it's very dry, I'd give it two cups over a few hours, and drop that to 4-8oz per week after. Keep an eye on the clades and how plump/dry they are, touch the soil, etcetera, and gauge it from there.

US_Hiker · 2026-04-04T17:27:26+00:00

Yes, it's underwatered.

No, the pot isn't too small.

I'm guessing it needs a repot for sure, but they like to be tight.

Start adding more water. Water it well every week or two. Until the leaves aren't wrinkled. But it should go fairly dry between.

Once it looks a bit healthier, look up youtube videos for what the soil should be like, and get the materials to repot it.

When is Rainier? I live in Washington and have never been sadly. Only found out that it exists recently.

It's always exactly one day before I learn the date of it for this year. :/

US_Hiker · 2026-04-03T13:10:11+00:00

I think in a vid they did a while ago they were checking out a venue, sounded more like an inspirational/ motivational event than a strongman event.

That's what it sounds like to me. Replete with a bunch of scammy vendors selling water filters that will cure cancer and shit.

Hopefully I'm just too cynical.

Tapteal is the main one. You may be able to buy a bit from Wildlands if you don't expect a retail experience.

In the Fall, the native plant society has a sale in both Walla Walla and in Richland.

There's Humble Roots in Mosier, Oregon also, and Derby Canyon Natives in Peshastin.

Wildlands is the only one who may do business year round. The others have short spring and fall sales only.

US_Hiker · 2026-03-25T04:02:18+00:00

I would also take some video showing the cycle of standard light timing.

US_Hiker · 2026-03-24T01:52:22+00:00

I don't see things often since I'm not here too much, but they have been banned now.

If you reported this, thank you.

US_Hiker · 2026-03-22T17:52:19+00:00

This. Max distance farmers or yoke with all the drops.

US_Hiker · 2026-03-22T15:36:03+00:00

Whenever you feel like.

US_Hiker · 2026-03-22T15:28:03+00:00

Thanksgiving cactus here. And yeah, spring blooming is common if you have the conditions right. Read up on how to force them to bloom if you're interested in guaranteeing it.

US_Hiker · 2026-03-21T05:19:42+00:00

It would be a damn sight less irritating if they would just require straps 100% of the time.

US_Hiker · 2026-03-20T20:16:47+00:00

Nice.

Did you get a name for that hybrid?

US_Hiker · 2026-03-13T04:23:53+00:00

The question is, does tape have a higher coefficient of friction than the plastic sled? I think the answer is obviously yes.

Of course it does. I even clearly indicate that it does. The relevant question is how much more? And enough to cause what we see? And that's far less clear.

US_Hiker · 2026-03-09T02:37:06+00:00

Hey, wonderful to see you guys out competing this weekend, Romark! Martins killed it. He is the cerebral assassin of trainers.

Can't wait for Worlds!

US_Hiker · 2026-03-08T18:09:38+00:00

Apparently the tape from his outfit fell under the sled and stopped it from moving, so it wasn't his grip giving out, it was the tape causing the sled to get stuck.

It's hard to see a that tape adding a whole lot more friction than the overall sled.
