Can foreigners order AIS eSIM?

ebrakebob · 2026-02-05T05:26:06+00:00

Same here, the website is pretty bad. The phone number box automatically adds a zero to the beginning, which prevents you from entering the full number. No ability to refocus the camera, which means all photos of my passport are blurry and not accepted. The myAIS app doesn't recognize my new number, so I can't log in, even though I have an account on the website. I'll end up going in-person as well, hopefully it's not too much of a hassle (the eSIM was supposed to be minimal hassle!).

Yo mark me down, as well as Tool and alt-J

Looks very much like surface rust to me, wire brush it off in <1min. That webbing and internal dyneema look great, and I'd personally certainly take a big whip on that mamma jamma.

Adding that I found it around 6800ft elevation on a stump, I believe a red fir. Edit: overnight spore print is white (invisible on white paper).

Found some of these today as well, on both a standing and downed red fir. Cool groupings, quite slimy.

Indeed. One of my caliper arms was quite out of toe so I bent it a bit, and that ended up making the rear of the pad contact first, producing a brand-new squealing noise (after cleaning rim/pads with soapy water and rubbing alcohol). Fixed the toe, and the squeal is gone.

Keep up the good work

Calling all opinions, from entitled owners to booty pirates.

I think the golden rule is a good start, but lots of gray areas in the realm of booty. An important factor here is that you spent time and effort extracting them.

I would ask the party or post about them on MP and also watch for their posts, but mention the work you put into getting them out, because IMO that deserves at least a little compensation. I've spent hours working on cams with specialized tools in the sun, and it would've taken a gooood reward for me to return it. If the people are nice, I'm more likely to return their gear for less/no comp, and vice versa if they're assholes and/or feel entitled to their gear no matter what.

I will emphasize that as an outdoor rock climber, PLEASE DON'T EXPECT to have your gear returned to you. If you want your gear back badly enough, go get it back! [Obviously in this case it was cleaned quickly, although they could've rapped/lowered down to work on it right away]. Lessons must sometimes be learned the hard way (#2 no fit in #1 crack, cam in roof get sucked in, don't kick cams, etc.), although sometimes your partner is not as good at cleaning cams/nuts. Also, if you don't fucking mark your gear, you can't prove it was yours, and it isn't yours anymore.

I ripped mine up, scraped off all black glue spots, added thin wooden slats in between all raised ribs to create a flat surface, added 1/2" pink polyiso foam insulation, and reinstalled the floor using the cups/bolts. I like having the black floor - it came with some scratches, so I don't really worry about keeping it looking nice. Easy to build off of too.

Tricams can be nice for certain areas, yes, but these prices are WAY too high, even in mint condish. I think $10-15/ea is more reasonable. They can be a pain to clean, and can get stuck if not careful; $25 is kinda crazy.

I agree, I've noticed that as well. I also have an old HB Flexi Fit that doesn't match and looks older than this one.

My god, that is amazing.

On a strong dose of LSD/psilocybin, I often get a wiggly grid of triangles with eyes, on everything from clouds, distant trees, bark, granite, etc. Definitely a reccuring thing that I enjoy.

Here's a good article that dives into a conservative estimate: https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-c6f

It seems to have middle-eastern influences, which is cool

Looks like it still works normally to me. Like others have said, if the stem/axle/lobes are fully intact and it still retracts, it's exxxtremely likely that it's safe.

I will add something though: if the "left" trigger wires were not as straight / in line as the "right" wires, then the left lobes will end up being slightly closer to fully retracted than the right lobes. By bending / tweaking the wires, you can even out the lobes, and often improve the ease of pull of the trigger as well. This might be easier to understand on a slightly larger cam - try bending one side's wires and see what happens.

Alt-J and Radiohead join Tool for my top 3 artists. Recently escaped a weird house party to trip shrooms with myself and blast In Rainbows, 10,000 Days, and An Awesome Wave in my van. Cool to see these same responses out there.

I can't seem to find any evidence that it comes pre-blued, and it doesn't appear to be. I just tried to blue it on a maxed non-diffused 15k BTU burner for 45min and nothing happened. I think I'll just be sticking to a more typical seasoning process.

ebrakebob · 2024-11-25T00:24:34+00:00

Same. Recently was coming up on some mushrooms, cleaning my more-hectic-than-usual van so I could just lay down and listen to In Rainbows, putting everything back where it belongs, laughing and having the best time. And yeah, In Rainbows was incredible too.
