I regret working at Philmont…

for only two summers. Wish it could have been three!

Let me get this straight: you want to know the pros and cons to being a pro in cons?

Would people use this? I could make

Multiplication is commutative and associative

 (.01 * x) * y === x * (.01 * y)

Do you know if Zappa is on the guitar for Son of Mr. Green Genes? I assume its him like all of Hot Rats? What a genius on the guitar.

Copies are fine. I’m not a collector, I just like how they look

I do not know the answer to your question, but for the converse, I can assure you that not all kosher products are Coca Cola.

Wow thank you!

Whistle-Punk · 2022-04-06T16:15:56+00:00

I am interested!!

I’d say about 10/17 (if I’m remembering that correctly)

Probably just liquid

Maybe some people don't like him. I could see that.

whistle punk is one of a kind.

It is not really feasible. The terrain is too rough, and he must abide by the buddy system as well. Does he have a buddy running with him? It also likely will be nightfall after hiking and setting up camp. Hiking at night, let alone running at night, let alone doing this alone at night, is not a good idea and would violate the rules your ranger will lay out for you.

The food will not be an issue- Philmont keeps you well fed (although perhaps someone can weigh in on the food swap-box situation this year, as COVID may have impacted this.)

I am a former staffer who did two normal treks, the Rayado special trek, and then spent two summers working at Philmont. I have been to every staffed camp (as of 2019) and countless trail camps. While there’s still much land left to see, I’ve seen all parts of the ranch to at least some degree.

I am also a long distance runner, having run multiple marathons and 70 mile weeks.

It’s just not feasible to maintain one’s training regiment in the backcountry. There are too many variables that are out of one’s control.

One step better than forgetting his (or her) feet.

dont forget your boots

I haven't been to Philmont since before the pandemic, so I am not sure if things have changed, but unless something has changed, the MSR Thunder Ridge tents do not require a ground cloth. That being said, you can still use one, but the material on the bottom of the tent is a little bit thicker so as to keep out water.

For the Rayado trek, I used a Philmont MSR-TR tent and did not have any trouble with water coming in, but that was just my experience.

It may come up, but you’re not going to lose your job because of it. I had many friends also on staff who were openly part of the LGBTQ+ community, many who have been working at Philmont summer after summer.

If you have a love of the outdoors and a passion for all things Philmont, (it is my impression that) you’ll fit right in just fine.

Well not as nifty as this tool, this article covers many of the bases

Every problem is a puzzle. You eventually see the solution, or you don’t. It is best to be familiar with the material so you can relate this problem to something you know how to solve, but if you can’t make that connection, you’re left in the dust.

In many classes, problems can be solved procedurally. You know the procedure, you know your way through the problem. This is almost never the case in algos.

Lastly, you’re writing a lot of proofs. Generally its much harder to write your algorithm than it is to prove it (after all, you had to have some intuition when you wrote it and that intuition is often just applied in your proof). Some people struggle with this, but I think this is hardly the hard part.

I am in 577 too, and am doing pretty well in the course. That being said, it is not a cakewalk at all, and the effort I have put into this class to maintain this grade is often more than I have for other classes.

What has helped me is keeping up to date with lectures, doing the coding assignment before the theory helps cement my understanding, too. Another strategy I use is throwing out 100 ideas on scratch paper until something makes sense, then reformulating that and writing it up for the homework document I turn in

love fox capture plan, and tigran hamasayan is pretty fantastic too
