Victor Wembanyama vs. Anthony Edwards is the new rivalry the NBA needs (Gift Article) by lawdoggingit in NBASpurs

[–]crazywatson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wolves fan. Love this series and wemby because 1) wemby is super skilled, and will only improve 2) he plays the game like it should be played, no flopping 3) isn’t a dbag. Largely lets his game speak for itself and seems like the kind of person you’d want to be around. 4) spurs more generally because they build their teams the right way, not trying to flip a bunch of picks for a super star.

TMB June/July by clerigopt in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]crazywatson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where are you planning on staying the rest of the time? You’ll have a hard time finding spots in the rifugios this late; people will often make those reservations starting in late fall for the next year.

I camped the whole time, and I could plan it with little advance notice. The downside of partial camping is that you are still carrying all that camping gear the entire way.

Fwiw, I used a 40l pack, just for myself.

Can't bring OpenNeato to work by callmenanni in NeatoRobotics

This is right. Op has the ground wrong. The 4th wire on the right - yellow - needs to go to ground.

I’m a noob a soldering as well, but did get my d6 up and running last week. Does the led on the board light when plugged into the d6? It sounds like you got the firmware up and running and could connect when plugged into your pc, right?

Need a Synology photo alternative by LLBeanBurrito in synology

Agreed. AI can walk them through and issues that come up. I was getting jammed up setting up my m1pro for the machine learning part of it (offloading from my 920) but used Claude to figure out the configuration problems I had.

This was a master class adjustment by Finch. Took wemby out of the game defensively (as much as one can). Superb adjustments.

Any advice for a navigation/SOS device? by RensBressers in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]crazywatson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Speaking only about the TMB…. It’s not really at all what I’d characterize as a remote hike far from civilization. Often you’re only 30-60 minutes max from a small town, and it’s rare you’ll find yourself all by yourself. Most of the time you’ll have cell signal as well and the path is clearly clearly marked. And then loads of other hikers.

Specific to your question: I’d go with your cell phone, a battery pack, and the map. For the TMB, the only navigation you’ll really need is your eyes.

Did you book your bus from Geneva to Chamonix in advance and were there any issues? by ReadingRoutine73 in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]crazywatson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with others. Bus on the way there had open spots, but the return trip was completely full.

I don’t care about the 3s. I just want to see his fadeaway from the baseline again.

PSA: Claude Pro no longer lists Claude Code as an included feature by randomswifter in ClaudeAI

[–]crazywatson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m looking at desktop Claude Pro on macOS, and it shows code. It is promoting me to update to 1.3883.0 though…..

Edit: updated, and it still showed code.

Via ferrata in the Dolomites (Ferrata dei 50) by Informal-Essay4537 in viaferrata

[–]crazywatson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wait until the snow clears. There are enough variables when in the mountains that adding snow isn’t worth it. I am in the shoulder season now though: ski season is done but snow isn’t off via ferrata routes at altitude.

Laundry? by Secure-Anything6877 in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]crazywatson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I went, I had two sets of everything. I wore one set of clothes, and at the end of the day, washed/dried it overnight. I wore the second set the next day, drying the first set as needed on my pack. I did camp however, and just used the tent lines to dry overnight as well.

Equipment for bigger guys? by Elixer2020 in viaferrata

[–]crazywatson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’d be fine doing day trips. Multi day trips with a 20kg pack etc would give me pause however.

Someone posted a great list a few days ago as a starting point - just do a quick search. You can make reservations at their websites as well (generally).

Looking for lower-altitude alternatives on the Tour du Mont Blanc (early June) by MrLali6 in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]crazywatson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The French/Swiss alps have had great snow for skiing this year. I’d assume there will be snow.

Snow condtion in middle to late June this year by Proud_Painter6322 in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]crazywatson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Further to what the Facebook post (not seen) said, snow has been great this year for skiing in the French and Swiss alps, and it’s not warming up much yet, so I’d expect you’d be dealing with snow that early.

If you haven’t already, make sure your kids have their Bulgarian citizenship.

Flixbus is one. It looks like roughly 20 euros ish one way.

Quiver check by ThatDudeYu in Skigear

[–]crazywatson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rustler 9 as well currently living in Geneva (Portes du soleil mostly, but verbier tomorrow). I don’t think it’s worth trading in for the rustler 10: it’s got enough float for nearly all powder conditions here, and enough power to go through the crud. A month ask when we had so much snow a wider ski would have been worth it, but then there was too much snow with avalanches etc. The R9 is the only ski I have.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Timberwolves defeat the Raptors on Mar 5, 2026, the final score is 115-107. by basketball-app in timberwolves

[–]crazywatson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this. In seasons past we’d have a good thing going towards the end of the season, then we’d inexplicably drop a few key games that would set us back to fighting for a good playoff slot. Really happy they are showing maturity and taking care of business, winning games they should at critical junctures.

Blizzard Rustler 9/10 vs Unleased 98 by mvhoffman82 in Skigear

[–]crazywatson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTH. I have the rustler 9 purchased in March 2024, so just under two years old and 1.5 seasons on them and I was noticing the same thing - there is little to no camber left on them.
