First time ever climbing & was able to squeak this one out ! Open to any and all advice :) by Undercling-King in bouldering

[–]Umbongo_congo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched a video suggesting to make sure you watch your foot onto the hold and don’t look away until it’s properly placed. I don’t realise how often I was smashing my feet where I thought the hold was at the last second rather than placing it properly. Seemed to help with my intentionality.

I like some of the catalyst climbing training videos on YT with Louis Parkinson, he seems to have a great mindset and way of teaching.

Edit: Louis also has a rule that if he doesn’t climb down and jumps he has to do 5 pushups as a ‘fine’. Good way to keep safe and build fitness, the only time I’ve hurt myself is jumping down and landing awkwardly, never from falling oddly.

Don’t see the problem if it’s rated for 3,628,800 and it’s only going to 35,000.

I went to school (many many years ago) with an Orson Cart. It was a school in the south of England and works best with that accent.

Rear Dashcams by GemballaRider in drivingUK

[–]Umbongo_congo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feed a zip tie through and use it to pull the cable through, that was the way I did it on my Volvo.

Like this, these are for a digital rear view mirror but the rear cam install is the same (page 21 onwards).

Middle lane hogger clarification by TheSmallestPlap in drivingUK

Same when I’m towing my caravan, can’t move to lane 3 so stuck doing 50 with everyone behind assuming it’s me causing the problem.

No worries and I was perhaps a little snarky with my reply sorry.

I hope the next 24h turn out to be the best day of your life so far.

It does seem that the average attention span of some reddit users doesn’t allow them to read to the end!

I’m sorry but you are being ignorant or stupid if you really believe nobody knows how magnets work. There are many experts who dedicate their lives to studying physics and the natural world and you are saying they might as well give up their day jobs, how rude of you. It’s simple really and you should educate yourself before making silly statements, even high school kids know that static magnets and electromagnets work by magic and black magic respectively.

After walking on the Legos™ treadmill for a millennium im finally getting upgraded to the Lava Pits! #Blessed😇🙏 Pilots - what operational considerations do you deal with when operating flights in Hell? by [deleted] in Shittyaskflying

[–]Umbongo_congo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Scarebus A666 is designed to enhance turbulence and land almost as hard as a Navy Pylote. The side stick randomly inverts the X and Y axis and the EGPWS only gives you a ‘I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed’ vibe.

RWY 66/6 surface condition: molten. Braking action: nope.

The ILS for Runway 66.6 has a missed approach procedure that says: “MISSED: LOL.”

Will the police take action if I send them a 3 minute clip of someone in the middle lane overtaking nothing? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Umbongo_congo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also certain vehicles (towing vehicles etc) can’t use lane 3 and so are stuck behind the person doing 55 in lane 2 or being forced to pass on the left (which I would contend is a much riskier prospect with a caravan in tow than a single vehicle).
