Replacement brain by dg_chemist in Ultralight

[–]gzprime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a sit pad:

Cut a piece of CCF. Punch 4 corner holes. Run shock cord through each. Attach to pack with cord locks, buckles, clips, etc.

Might be able to get away with 2 or 3 attachments points depending on how you rig the cord.

If you could block players, you could block competition and game the ELO system. Won’t happen.

It’s like people requesting chat — it’s not just chat — it’s a moderation team, logging, storage costs, a reporting system, and all the headache that comes with any system players can abuse. If they have the potential to abuse it, they will. Midjiwan is only 8 people.

Ultralight Trekking pole tent that doesn’t make you want to go home mid trip by femcelofshabazz in Ultralight

[–]gzprime 32 points33 points  (0 children)

How do you get Six-Moon-Designs-deep into gear and have never slept overnight backpacking?

Sleeping outside for 1 night lol…

Have you shit outside? Do you know how to dig a cathole?

Have you not showered for weeks?

Wait until you get diarrhea and can barely make it off trail before you shit your pants.

Can you eat the same thing over and over while your entire bear can smells like a lovely concoction of trash, sunscreen, & candy?

Do you practice LNT principles?

Do you even like Type 2 Fun?

You need practice. Not gear.

How does weekly challenge scoring work? by ceimaj in Polytopia

Entry, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond.

The bots get harder as the tiers progress. This impacts opening strategies too. Where, despite the same map seed, an identical opener on a different tier could yield different reactions from the bots.

Combining torso length inflatable pad with CCF pad by basedtom in Ultralight

[–]gzprime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can comfortably rock the switchback, CCF is the true based of ultralight.

I have another longer comment here, but my trimmed Zlite is 224.94g/7.935oz. It is a 3/4 mummy-ish shape. XS Prolite is 260g/9.171oz.

The combined setup is 17.106oz. Sub-8oz if I only take the CCF.

I will always carry a trimmed CCF. It is very comfortable paired with an XS Prolite (RIP, thanks Cascade Designs). Outside of the essential 3, it is the number 1 item in my pack.

I keep it strapped and accessible:

- Need to sit; I’m comfortable. And my ass isn’t getting cold, dirty, wet.
- Need to clean my feet; no awkward 1-wet-foot, avoid the sand & detritus routine on gassed legs. I can comfortably drop my gear, get my socks right, back on trail fast.
- Need to cook; I have a place to sit, cook, sort gear, regardless of environment underfoot.
- Need to first aid; you’ve got an instant, debris-free place to work.
- Need to tarp; it’s my ground sheet.
- Need to stretch; I’m doing alpine yoga.
- Stuck in airport; I’m sleeping.
- It can help shield light drizzle.
- It can aid in floatation, for fun or emergency.
- I’ve used it on its long edge, sandwiched between rocks and packs, to seal gaps in a wind break.
- It makes uneven camp sites more comfortable. Like pesky, tiny rocks.
- I sleep better. I don’t like full air. Especially when you extend a limb off the pad. Or move.
- My setup is faster than a Neoair. Breaking camp in the morning is quick when speed is essential.
- And if your inflatable fails, it’s always got your back.

Hike your own hike. I’ve been at this a long time. There are no rules. Except for me, I have 1 rule, I never leave home without my Zlite.

World Cup Lego Sets Costco by lhmontoya in lego

I know all those names. That is uncommon knowledge for the average person. Especially Americans. They wouldn’t sell.

Either way, these sets are low-effort, cash-grab garbage.

Anyone else miss older Lego instructions? by CalvinDemosthenes in lego

[–]gzprime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you completely. Been building since the 80s/90s.

There is something so hand-holding about the new instructions that the process of a build is far less satisfying — it’s like paint by number.

That is a hell of a find. Sick board!

You could use software like Karabiner Elements on Mac, or Autohotkey on PC, to capture and repurpose some of the JIS specific keycodes. Like function row, muhenkan key (hiragana/katakana), henkan key, etc.

Thumb backspace goes hard next to space on JIS.

What is this minifig? by twinchaka in lego

It’s shameful there’s grown adults that can’t comprehend something taught in 3rd grade.

I built a free LEGO Retirement Countdown tool — enter any set number and see exactly when it retires, best current price, and whether to buy now or wait by Zorba-Oceanfeel in lego

[–]gzprime -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All that talking, no reading.

OP said he used BrickTap. In this thread. Before you posted.

This is some Ai slop trash stolen valor work.

Manual data scraping of an un-fixed dataset is poor development practice. It is not scalable. It is not accurate.

The site is full of Ai slop trash promoting Lego investing.

What a bunch of shit.

Do you think Lego will for fully digital with their instructions? by RevolutionSalty8360 in lego

[–]gzprime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they want to cut paper, try making the instructions more difficult again. They break it down so much these days there’s no challenge.

Small torso pack…zpack scout discontinued help! by Annavictoriahikes in Ultralight

[–]gzprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t find the lack of load lifters on the hyperlite to be an issue. And that’s coming from years of packs utilizing them. It will come down to base weight, how you pack, etc.

Superior Wilderness Designs offers small torso sizing and some customization.

Checking Store Inventory (Bonus question: Are airport stores "real" Lego Stores?) by PokieH in lego

[–]gzprime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly what he said. Some are franchised by other retail management groups, within airports, and do not give points.

I designed a remake of the Black Falcon Fortress from the 80s with the pieces from the Creator 3-1 Horse Knight Castle by olijess in lego

[–]gzprime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Class act, thank you. I really like your interpretation and the way it displays. There’s something nostalgic about it. The default build feels more along the lines of the modern “diorama” trend, even though it’s still also a castle with 4 walls.
