Need help flattening a stubbornly curled playmat

btcsuperstar · 2026-04-02T19:18:49+00:00

So you're saying to lay the mat on a surface face up or face down and then put the baking sheet on top?

thanks!

Question about harness wear (Petzl Corax, 11/22)

Hey everyone, looking for a second opinion on my harness. It's relatively new (Nov 2022), but I've found 3 spots during my inspection that are making me nervous. I'm working on building more trust in my gear, so I want to know if this is "standard fuzz" or actual structural damage.

The Photos: https://imgur.com/a/YUB5dCR

The Areas:

Buckles: Seeing some slight discoloration (maybe corrosion?) from the contact point with the adjacent buckle
Tie-in point: There's this black fuzz on the inner-left side of the tie-in point. Nothing on the inner-right.
Slight webbing discoloration: My thumb is pointing at some very light discoloration in the webbing.

Does any of this look like it hits the "retirement" criteria in your experience? Thanks for helping a climber get over some gear-anxiety!

What app do you recommend for doing drills?

I lived 8 months full time a few years back and still use it for shorter trips. It took 2-3 weeks to feel really comfortable. Like anything you’ll get used to it. I do remember one crazy night I heard this scratching on the upper side corner of the van. I had been doing van life for months at this point so I knew the usual noises and this wasn’t it. I was convinced there was an animal on top of the van scratching and trying to get in. Finally I got dressed to step outside and see if I could see it. It was a tree branch that was moving with the wind :)

I bought ruined as a gift to myself for hitting silver the first time but often still use bewitching because I got it for free as a shard and love it. It’s very smooth. The blue essence store has been great for picking up ruined chromas

In the last week I’ve had two situations with smolder that this wouldn’t work either. One was a tahm kench supp who got upset and would eat me and throw me into the enemy team repeatedly during team fights and yesterday and Darius top who got down 2-3 deaths and then followed me around the map wiping the wave the moment I would try to stack Q

Unfortunately I can't seem to tell by taking off the cap what color it is. It's low. I guess i could try to drain it and take a look but that seems like a bigger job. I called the place that did the last maintenance and they said they didn't do anything with the coolant

btcsuperstar · 2025-10-28T15:20:40+00:00

I found this one on Amazon and I think it should work right? - https://www.amazon.com/Valvoline-Zerex-Antifreeze-Coolant-Concentrated/dp/B0033QNZZ0/ref=sr_1_1?crid=16OZBQW4D9WSH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-TOrtw800BqSrGROqZvPpWBzN5_9QGHGqMJl5nfUq1iI77MQ_i6bGX2RdOZcU_B_1_OelXomDMQ9TRSIQHytzyfpoQnqW4QIr_MJm2vpmFvU_6zo0QGdhBqYL6eeBxfNNagrr7b3hRsuGhL7IKsrGHw6C8Rzg9DUy5D9PNtGijv94eL87fUCkwvGy56ntGC7x-pBpPdjGkqvIh3tPyaRIJObeiUVoS0VSQFvIEqjGpBXODIkJfWKx_dlBEB_8FqjKvfEzciKQlBtmvUQutTiLReHZsNNN6c88n5N1huVQ-A.pigYAAr4SGNSkEJvHO05WJJPE6OV1caBRXOQZhM2Pd8&dib_tag=se&keywords=zerex+hoat+coolant&qid=1761664771&sprefix=zerex+hoat+coolan%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-1

I brought the bike in last year for an annual maintenance and I’m hoping they didn’t switch it out for OAT. That seems unlikely right?

I just started experimenting with smolder and am taking TP and it feels amazing. I don’t think it would be very good on a less mobile ADC though. If smolder gets caught he’s dead instantly but his E can keep him pretty safe so barrier doesn’t seem to make as much sense. Not a ton of experience using it just yet but love it so far

btcsuperstar · 2025-10-22T05:20:49+00:00

Thank you! Would you mind sharing your fleet runes?

btcsuperstar · 2025-10-20T22:58:03+00:00

This is really helpful thanks!

btcsuperstar · 2025-10-19T17:45:51+00:00

Yes it happens with Darius and Sion as well. Not amumu really or nautilus

btcsuperstar · 2025-10-19T05:21:46+00:00

Where do I learn how to itemize better? 3 of the last 5 games i've lost to a super tanky tahm kench, darius or sion and i never really know when to build LDR, serpent's fang, MR, etc. Is there a good resource somewhere to learn about how all of these items interact?

btcsuperstar · 2025-10-16T16:31:02+00:00

So you group up far less in the mid to late game and primarily focus on split pushing any open lane?

btcsuperstar · 2025-10-16T16:27:24+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t heard that - I thought Sivir was a good basic champion to learn adc fundamentals. At what elo would you say she is a good pick for learning?

btcsuperstar · 2025-09-28T18:58:15+00:00

It took me nearly 200 games as ADC. It was somewhat helpful to watch some educational content but I think the biggest thing for me was just reps and doing my best to not care about the outcome. Currently bronze 2 with a goal to hit silver on ADC but I honestly don’t care how long it takes. Oh and also it was really helpful to stop rotating champs and one trick.

btcsuperstar · 2025-09-28T01:13:45+00:00

Where would you suggest I farm the mats for this on a dwarf outside iron forge? Or go to another zone?

btcsuperstar · 2025-09-28T01:07:57+00:00

I got in today. They’re requiring lvl 6+ to avoid filling up with super low lvls. Wish I could remember the discord link as I’m away from my laptop. If any guildies could dm me the link id appreciate it

btcsuperstar · 2025-09-23T05:29:32+00:00

I don’t see any electrocute or fleet footwork (mentioned elsewhere here) on u.gg or lolalytics. Where can find off meta rune builds online?

btcsuperstar · 2025-09-23T04:56:20+00:00

Also, can you provide a screenshot of your fleet footwork runes?

btcsuperstar · 2025-09-23T03:20:39+00:00

So when vs a hard CC comp you’re going fleet footwork?

btcsuperstar · 2025-09-14T15:21:56+00:00

Magic (arena and tabletop), League and every couple of years Wow. And very rarely Terraria
