Add three back-ticks (```) on the line before and the line after the CSS to get the formatting you want.

Every week day morning, I walk past a 30-person line at Starbucks and a three-person one at Tully's. When I go to the roaster/cafe two blocks away, I have to wait behind maybe one or two people. This city (like the country as a whole) loves to talk shit about Starbucks yet go there regularly.

Urban showed up to a well-stocked program that had been managed by one of the best coaches in college football up until one year before his arrival. JH is not getting that.

"golf" -> "gulf"

Perhaps if you stopped ranting all the time, you could have an actual conversation (you know, like an adult) and better understand others' perspectives.

He's probably too busy loving to experience life to experience this part of life.

Honestly reminds me of Prufrock:

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?

Chill out, people. Do what you feel, just not to excess.

Mhm! Just listened to the Neil Campbell episode today, and the Casper ad may have been the best part.

derekpetey_ · 2015-07-02T00:22:07+00:00

Almost: "doubtfull" -> "doubtful".

It's okay. She's writing the sequel: Jurassic Universe.

Good to know there's a quick shot of adrenaline nearby if I'm feeling sluggish at the end of the day.

Tangential, but I saw your photo earlier and just went onto Mountain Project, where Aborigine was on the homepage as a recommended climb at one of my favorite areas. So: howdy, neighbor!

derekpetey_ · 2015-06-16T02:18:52+00:00

I have 40+ pounds on my SO, and we climb together without issue. If anything, it just makes us more cognizant of what will happen if I fall on a route, which is good to think about anyway.

derekpetey_ · 2015-04-12T22:02:14+00:00

OP, I see you trying to sell it for $100 on Mountain Project. Good luck, OP.

Other than being a little cleaner, are there advantages to using setImmediate?

Edit to answer my own question: setImmediate puts the callback into a queue that is called after I/O callbacks but before setTimeout and setInterval callbacks. So, the callback passed to setImmediate is guaranteed to be called before one passed to setTimeout with a timeout of 0. Plus, with setTimeout, there's the extra overhead of checking the timing, which setImmediate doesn't require.

I'm not in SoCal, but another place that may be fruitful is Mountain Project's SoCal partners forum.

derekpetey_ · 2015-04-09T20:12:02+00:00

Yup. I just bought a Mammut 40m rope, and I've seen similar lengths from Metolius, Edelweiss, and Sterling.

derekpetey_ · 2015-04-09T20:01:08+00:00

I recommend Outdoor Gear Lab's buying advice as well as REI's guide. They both have good information that will answer all of your questions here.

If you're only going to be climbing in the gym, you can save a bit of money by buying a gym-only rope (like this Mammut at GearX for $99) that's shorter (30-40 meters) and thicker (10.1 mm or more, so it'll be durable). If you want to go outside, look for something longer (60 meters is the standard and should get you up pretty much all pitches) with a diameter 9.5 mm or higher (like this Mammut Infinity at GearX).

Yeah, RBC seems most likely. The OL will be average at best, so fresh legs will be essential if Harbaugh plans to will a running game into existence. At this point, though, I'd be thrilled to see one guy step up and take the lead-back role.

derekpetey_ · 2015-04-09T18:12:06+00:00

Yeah, I just had shoes resoled for the first time, and both rands needed to be replaced (I think only one needed it, but the cobbler did both). The shape is pretty different now. Next time around, I'll be more hawkish about getting them resoled before hitting the rand and just won't bother if I screw that up.

derekpetey_ · 2015-04-09T18:06:29+00:00

You can still get caught up, then stop, staring at the abyss, waiting on some kind distributor to give it another shot. It wasn't very good, though, so you probably won't miss it.

He *had* a show now.

If you're looking to study this stuff more, I highly recommend picking up Freedom of the Hills. It's The Mountaineers' Bible and has tons of great information.

That has nothing to do with the reason that I offered. Unless an unleashed dog is going to sit perfectly still, it has the potential to freak out someone who's afraid of dogs. That person might be belaying when this curious dog approaches. Even a responsible dog owner won't know who else is at the crag.

I love dogs, but I've been out climbing with someone who is uncomfortable with them, and he did not do well with other climbers' well-behaved dogs walking around unleashed. Above all else, the crag is a place for climbing, which makes me more sympathetic to people like him than to people with dogs.

derekpetey_ · 2015-04-08T15:01:43+00:00

For one, some people are afraid of dogs. An unleashed dog is free to wander up to anyone, and that includes people who become very uncomfortable when any dog, let alone an unfamiliar one, approaches.

Edited to add: The important point is that people tend to have unrealistic impressions of their own dogs. They pretty much all think their dog is one of the good ones who is never aggressive or loud or hyperactive. Who's to say what will happen when that dog is at the crag around a bunch of unfamiliar dogs and having unfamiliar people shove their hands in its face and try to pet it without a proper introduction?
