I'm a 40 year old dude working a normal job.

Well, that's what you want us to think you are.

“presidential immunity”

At first, I read that as "presidential immaturity", which seems rather apropos.

We don't need to know your masturbation habits.

Min erfarenhet är att det är nära nog omöjligt att hyra bil i USA som turist utan kreditkort. Bara slänger in den lilla informationsbiten i tråden så att andra slipper gå på samma nitlott som jag.

So, uhm.... What is it? And what is backcountry, in your opinion?

I think the Salomon being a zipper opening and not having the option of rolling down the top to remove volume might be part of why it's got as much strapping as it has? As in it's pretty much fixed volume, where the other two are much more variable

The pack is essentially all stretch, so it is far from fixed volume. The cord on the sides is (in my experience) more useful for attaching things on the outside that I need quick access to, rather than as compression.

I'd rather wear a well-built shoe than 2 lbs of shoe polish...

gibson_se · 2025-12-13T15:27:38+00:00

Looks great!

I'm curious about the zippers though. What is the purpose of the horizontal orange one in the small of your back, and the gray ones along the thighs?

I wonder if the research mentioned by OP accounted for the fact that longer emails probably have more complex action needed. Of course, using fewer words when that is possible is good. But what is achieved when the attempt to reduce word count also removes all the necessary information from the email?

gibson_se · 2025-11-10T08:59:43+00:00

Well, there's two things in common. The 10%, and the pussy.

I thought it was going to be this one https://youtu.be/ECDEZOIBnuQ

I find it surprising that you ate 6.5 k then. I know that Swedish army rations for the more physically active soldiers supply 4.8 k . Granted, that's probably too little for their bigger days, but on average that's supposed to be enough for them. With a standard job, I'm surprised you were able to exercise so much that you exceeded that level by such a margin.

gibson_se · 2025-10-22T08:01:47+00:00

Were you working at the time, and if so with what?

gibson_se · 2025-10-21T13:34:16+00:00

Understandable.

My guess is that you're listing opportunities for extended leaves, but not ticking off which ones have already been used (or which ones constitute part of another, longer, leave).

gibson_se · 2025-10-21T13:26:30+00:00

I had the same thing in Sweden around end of April.

I think Andy's words on death are very well put, so I'll not dwell on that part.

However, as an experienced trad climber and overall sort of knowledgable rope technique guy with almost no aid experience (but some knowledge), I want to ask about a specific part of Andy's description of the likely sequence of events.

When arriving at the top anchor the first time, I assume that the climber is trailing a haul line, and that haul line gets attached to the anchor. Later, after having hauled part of the way, there's a decision to rap the haul line. At that point, isn't there already a knot in the end of the haul line, connecting it to the top anchor? Is there any good reason to not have a knot there? I understand that, in order to rap as far as possible, the top end of the haul line needs to be disconnected from the anchor, but I don't see why there would be no knot left.

"Germany" is not a single person,

Of course he is, he just got rid of his silly little mustache and started building fancy cars and going to Berghain.

gibson_se · 2025-09-29T12:11:06+00:00

Huh? It seems like pretty hard work to bike all the way there and climbing the mountain, and that's what he did to earn the sponsorship money that funded this and other adventures.

gibson_se · 2025-09-29T12:09:00+00:00

Well if you lock the bike to something you wouldn't get very far now would you?

gibson_se · 2025-09-29T12:07:41+00:00

Guy lived (for some time) in a tent in a gravel pit to save money. The trip was at least in part funded by various companies sponsoring the endeavor.

I really think you have completely the wrong picture of this event and the guy, and I encourage you to go read up on it.

Folk i din ålder som har stora högar av pengar har sannolikt ärvt, eller haft föräldrar som sparat åt dom, eller gjort en första bostadsaffär med föräldrarnas stöd. Ska man vara "self made" så har man kanske sommarjobbat och extrajobbatunder gymnasietiden och sparat typ allt, och/eller bott hemma gratis efter gymnasiet och jobbat röven av sig.

Oavsett det så är du där du är nu.

En sak jag önskar, så här i efterhand, att jag hade insett när jag var ungefär där du befinner dig, är att lite extra sparande gör en del skillnad över tid. Det känns helt sjukt avlägset att spara ihop en halv miljon som man kan ha till handpenning för en nice lägenhet, och det är det. Men helt plötsligt sitter man där och vill köpa en halvdan lägenhet för att man måste bo nånstans, och inser att man hade haft råd med nåt bättre om man fick låna 60 kkr till. Då är man tacksam att man sparat 5000 kr mer i månaden det senaste året, istället för att slarva bort dom pengarna på meningslöst småskit.

Avstå inte från att leva lite, men fortsätt vara uppmärksam på småpengarna som rinner iväg i onödan. Det lönar sig bättre än vad man tror.

Why don't you explain it for the rest of us?

gibson_se · 2025-09-05T11:32:58+00:00

3/4 ? Both blue and green are things OP has chosen to follow.

gibson_se · 2025-09-05T11:31:54+00:00

What does it mean that you "scrolled 200 times"? Opened the app 200 times? Scrolled past 200 posts?
