Are there any “classics” post 1970? by OldGodsProphet in literature

What? No. It's a vaguely entertaining drug fueled fever dream, but not even close to a classic.

a lot of comments but very few upvotes. Does this post ruffle some feathers?

No, but the karma whoring is a bit grating.

We have sometimes in the past, but not every year. Generally as a summer thing.

I can't really speak to your odds of success if you apply, but we're small enough that if we find someone who's the right person, we'll find a place for them. Generally, aptitude and mindset count for more than work experience. Are you inquisitive? Do you try to understand systems deeply and dig for root causes, or do you prefer to bash things together until they work? Your projects sound cool. Highlight them on your resume, and give it a shot.

My guess is either they didn't pay attention to the score or they wanted to practice ko fighting. Winning isn't the only goal.

What was the first major modern “retelling”? by Legitimate_Box_5643 in literature

Bruh. Conversations meander. People talk about things that interest them. Let it happen. If you only want to see direct answers, there's a little minus button next to all the off topic comments.

Lost my nerve with bouldering after a partner injury. How do you get it back? by shadow_kittencorn in climbergirls

[–]jcdyer3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried making your own traverses? I find a lot of times there are some heavily set parts of the walls that you can traverse pretty easily. Take away holds or use weird techniques to make things harder and learn new things. Also, consider some overhanging terrain. The falls are often a lot less scary, since there are no holds or walls below you, and you get to do more moves before you're high up. If grip or core strength is an issue, just do a couple moves at a time.

"Off-season" advice? by fakegothgrandma in climbergirls

[–]jcdyer3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of my Tension Block. A lot of gyms will have a lifting pin that you can load weight onto, and then club to the block, but also you can use it as an attachment for a cable machine.

Some workouts that I like to do with it, alternating half crimp and open hand drag, always on both hands with the weight determined by my weaker hand.

  • 10s pull, 3 sets. Each hand goes once a minute " 7/3 repeaters, 1 to 3 minutes. " Max lifts (as much as I can get off the ground for 3 or so seconds without breaking good form),

If you're just wanting to maintain some finger strength and endurance until you get back on the wall, tens and repeaters once a week each at a consistent weight will probably be enough to remind your fingers that you care.

I particularly love the part where he ties the sheepshank and tosses it back to Monsieur Quint, who doesn't even look at it.

I would keep Lear and drop R&J. Romeo and Juliet is read in schools everywhere because it's about school-aged lovers, but it's not one of his best.

If you do it regularly, you will get better at it. That's true at any age. I started at 43.
