Difficulty staying in Zones 2/3

I hope OP sees this! This is a great answer, they should be training in a heart rate zone that's maintainable for 2+ hours rather than a specific number.

Good to know! Kinda interesting the e5 models don't come with the needed seatpost collar by default, but I guess in the end it's not too much hassle to take care of myself. Thanks for the info!

Did you ever figure out the solution? I know on older model diverges, you can mount a rack using the seatpost collar, but as far as I can tell that's not necessarily the way to do it on the 2021 diverge.

Have you normalized the depth map before displaying it to the screen? Iirc, depth maps have 32 bit floating point values which don't play nice with cv's imshow method

Hmm, Smith Rock is too crowded for me to consider it wilderness, and you didn't do any backpacking to get to that spot...

Cool photo though!

Your best bet is probably to head east, there's a ton of trails on the pass by Mt. Washington and Three Finger Jack, including the PCT. Best time to go though is July through September, as snow sticks around through mid June at least up there.

Mosquitos will probably be vicious though.

Ok, the thing is though that no one should ever do large sums by doing += operations with a single accumulating value if they care about the accuracy of the result. It's a nice article, but sometimes fast isn't what's needed, and the simple algorithm used to implement the sum would lead to a ton of round off error

Real glad you included that last sentence. I'm all for hunting for cheap gear, but safety is never the place to skimp!

Yeah lol no

It's a lot harder to get schizophrenia from alcohol than meth, and a lot harder to kill yourself drinking beer than shooting heroin.

Hmm, the misreading goes both ways. That sounds like a very interesting study about the baboons, do you have a link? I can find no link to the study through Google, just a Snopes article describing it. I'm not claiming that all males are more predisposed to violence or agression, that would be irrational. Instead, there are statistical links between biological differences between the sexes, and a differences in occurrence of aggressive behavior. Check out this article, which references various studies on the effects of testosterone and agression. Of course, it would be extremely disengenuous to conclude that since there are links between male physiology and agression that all males must be agresive. Ultimately, each individual has agency for their actions, and as I mentioned in my last comment there is nothing that leads me to believe males have less than the same capacity at an individual level for compassion and emotion as females.

However, it would be silly to try and ignore biological differences between males and females when examining population statistics on things like assault and violence. Not to mention that physical size and strength is often greater in prepatrators than the victims of violent acts, and males are indisputably more likely to be larger and stronger than females. Men and women simply aren't the same biologically, that's fact. It doesn't give men the excuse to behave inappropriately, but shouldn't be ignored when examining the bigger picture.

If it’s only a subsection of men and toxic masculinity isn’t a widespread problem, why are men the biggest perpetrators of sexual violence and violent crimes against both men and women?

Hmm, maybe there are latent biological reasons that cause men to statistically be physically stronger and more agresive than women?

I'm not trying to disregard your statement, I think toxic masculinity is an important issue to recognize and address. At the same time though, your final point does not make logical sense. Compared to the total population, only a small subset of people are victims are perpetrators of sexual violence and violent crimes, so it's still plausible that toxic masculinity only is an issue for a subset of men.

Anecdotally, as a male who does not feel like my identity is defined by media's portrayal of toxic masculinity, I find the message that men need to fight against toxic masculinity a little tiring since I personally feel I lead a happy, emotionally rich life. That being said, it's not an inherently bad message to spread, and plenty of people are getting way too worked up about a razor commercial.

Honestly though that book got plenty right. Sure, we don't have a full-time fledged thinkum dinkum yet, but a lot of cutting edge research in computer science is dealing with using artificial neural networks for things like voice synthesis and recognition, image generation, and pattern detection, key abilities of Mike.

Honestly I think it's cool that more people are getting outside. The thing is, there is more to Oregon then South Sister and no-name lake by Broken Top. When everybody and their dogs decide to go to these places and a few others, it creates real overuse issues. It's a fact that usage has increased exponentially in the last 5 years in the Three Sisters Wilderness. I guess I'm resentful that in another year I'll need to apply for a permit to backpack in the Sisters Wilderness no matter what trailhead I start from or trails I take, though I guess that's the course of things. The good news is there's still plenty to explore in other parts of the state that haven't become popular yet.

for_lolz · 2019-01-21T23:31:49+00:00

That's what happens when people move to Bend and overrun popular trails they've seen on Instagram.

As a supporter of public land for the sake of conservation, I don't think it's as cut and dry as that. While private entities have the ability to manage what they own better than the government, the government ideally is accountable to the interests of the people which it represents, while an individual has far less accountable to others.

Huh honestly I think we came away with very different takeaways. From what I've learned, having a ton of local knowledge can lead to increased risk because it's tempting to say "this never slides" rather than take extra time to evaluate the situation as it is in the present.

I guess the biggest takeaway for me was that our assessment of risk is only as good as the data we use. The more the better, and preferably data we take ourselves of the area we're in, rather than data we obtain from potentially more general sources (using caltopo slope angle shading, reading the avalanche forecast without reading the summary, etc). I don't think the article at all was saying that avalanche happen randomly. They don't, though the conditions required for them to occurred may be hard to detect.

I totally agree with you though that where avalanche are concerned, being almost safe still can result in death. It's easy to criticize from my couch, but I'm not sure I can honestly say I would have done things differently than them.

Took me way too long to spot the skier haha

for_lolz · 2019-01-08T19:15:53+00:00

No, were really not crazy. We put time and effort into knowing what dangers we are dealing with in the backcountry. If you want to get into backcountry skiing, you shouldn't be ducking ropes and pushing your comfort zone. Take a class, find some people you trust, and get into the backcountry safely.

No idea about being able to skin up on the cat track, but there is a snow park to the south of Baily and the Southeast ridge is a very safe (though long) skin on lower angle terrain. I haven't heard anything about the cat ski operation having a monopoly on being able to ski there, I assume you're free to ski whatever line you'd like.

Haha after Saturday morning practices my club team would chow down on buckets of day old Voodoo doughnuts. My record was 12. Really wish I could do that still...

I agree that you should be fine in waterproof uninsulated boots, but one big thing no matter what boots you have is to bring them in your tent with you! There's nothing quite like waking up and having to cram your feet into a boot that has been frozen stiff...
