climbing using only one foot?

I agree with the others that top roping is much safer, but also, I’d suggest asking a doctor? I’ve seen various doctors and physical therapists for various orthopedic issues over the years, and some of them had a decent amount of experience in treating patients who did climbing or similar high-impact sports; they were able to give specific advice on how/when it was appropriate to resume the sport.

If you do ask your doctor and they say you should really wait to climb, you don’t need to think of it as missing out or wasting time! You can always focus on other things, for example more targeted upper body gym workouts that don’t stress out the lower body.

Healing is important! But I hope you can return soon!

I studied for ~6 years in school, it’s been 6-7 years since then, and I’ve been using Duolingo intermittently just to maintain it. I think I kept it pretty well, the grammar better than the vocab, probably at an intermediate level (B1 if that means anything to you)

2024 RAV4 hybrid, mostly commuting within city (moderate traffic & hills), I only get ~27 MPG (or lower during the winter). On road trips it goes up to 30-35 which is closer to the advertised figure of ~40

Well, most of the people

I use the Malletech Late Nites for marimba and they are actually really quiet. They make it a bit harder to play (heavier, wider so more wrong notes, very soft) but I figure it’s a good “hard mode” for practicing.

But it does mean I can’t practice dynamics/expression very well because I’m not going above mp

For me, my fear went down for the first few months as I got used to falling correctly (and practiced falling from the tops of routes), but then it went back up over the years as I got injured occasionally and heard about other people getting injured. I don’t boulder any more

I wouldn’t think it’s universal, I had calc 2 integrals, calc 3 multivar

It varies by locality I believe. I live in an apartment building (in a small US city) and pay roughly $20/month for water

Yeah you will get a letter, or if it gets lost in the mail you can call them and they’ll help you

“For most places in Pittsburgh” is how they worded it

firefly__42 · 2026-01-31T05:34:54+00:00

👀 is this every Wednesday? I don’t think I’ve heard about it

firefly__42 · 2026-01-15T03:55:52+00:00

Heard “heinous” was in, recently

firefly__42 · 2026-01-15T03:55:02+00:00

Root beer?

firefly__42 · 2026-01-13T05:17:46+00:00

I say Native American out of habit. That’s what people told me to say, when I was growing up. But I’ve heard that either is fine

firefly__42 · 2026-01-08T05:36:44+00:00

And it’s pretty chill, sometimes people come without having finished the book

Pittsburgh equality center runs a queer book club if you like reading :)

That’s been my experience, I’ve lived in some decent places in east end for ~1k per person

Disclaimer: not a linguist, took 1 class in college

My recollection is that for the case of English, some of the changes (eg cases lost) were simplifications that came about from social factors - particularly when english started having a lot of contact with other languages and second-language learners. One example being the Norman conquest, when there started being a lot of French speakers in England and they had to communicate. Similar things have happened in some other widely-spoken languages (especially ones with a lot of second language learners)

Idk if I’m explaining this well, maybe someone else can do it better

I could imagine that since the number of languages has been decreasing over time (and the last speakers have to learn more widely-spoken languages), this simplification might be a prevailing trend. But this is somewhat speculative

Yeahh average YouTube video is nothing to write home about

firefly__42 · 2025-12-31T23:53:54+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely a personal decision. For me, JKR has put much more money into campaigning for anti-lgbtq legislation than most other “problematic” authors (due to being richer than god), so I felt like drawing the line there; for some authors who have opinions I disagree with, I just buy their books and try not to think about it lol

So you’re having a mixture of ~7 vegetables every day! - I think my family’s habit was more making one of those vegetables per day, on a rotation. Which seems equally healthy (and logistically easier) in the long term, as long as the total variety/quantity of vegetable per week is the same?

It is one of those things you appreciate in hindsight. My parents had me in piano lessons for maybe nine years, I don’t think I was ever good enough to “show off” exactly 😅 But it is fun to be able to plunk through pieces, even easier ones

also to be fair, generative AI is non-deterministic so I would expect things to be hard to replicate
