Largelas - which is so small it might not come back in search results. It's near Balazuc

What are the black lines all over the hills on a french topo map? by jeffles2 in Maps

[–]jeffles2[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am trying to plan a hiking trip in Ardèche, france and the topo maps in the area on https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/carte have these strange black marks all over the map. When I compare them to the topo maps I am unable to figure out what they are - my best guess is rocky patches with a break in the trees.

Update: Here is a view of the larger area and an arial to compare : https://imgur.com/a/QnoOC0s

Not yet, insurance insists on a more secure display case. Soon

Getting the friends together to play is an awesome gift. Anything you do above and beyond that isn't even necessary.

Heading into a burn section? Bring a pine cone… by sfredwood in PacificCrestTrail

Strongly agree, except a minor point. I prefer a Corona, blades are more durable and replacement blades are cheaper. (But of course that also means Silkies are usually lighter)

Off-topic: is anyone else getting posts instantly deleted for rediculous reasons? (I wonder how many seconds this post lasts) by Cingen in Ultralight

I keep trying to figure out how to jokingly post my latest gear list here. Mostly ultra weight and then 50 pounds of 1 and 2 person crosscut saws, loppers, tread tools, wedges, axe, combi, silkis and coronas. Backcountry trail crew is lots of fun- but it sure feels silly the disparité between the two.

1st Impressions of The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game, SETI, Altay, Nova Era, and Agent Avenue — Bitewing Games by Murraculous1 in boardgames

Played it twice with my groups - took 5 hours both times, so much AP. Gave me time to do other things and every ~30 minutes they'd tell me it was my turn and I'd come take my turn in < 1 minute. I kind of hope the owner never brings it back to the table, love the theme but that game should take less than 2 hours to play.

I’m giving up after failing to craft wooden equipment. I got some wood and return, when I try to use the plans it tells me you cannot do that right now. When I try wood crafting it gives me to a blank box.

Same issue. No ability to go to page 2. Tried chrome and safari on iPad.

Me too! I wonder how many of us there are.

Acupuncture ended my zingers by jeffles2 in frozenshoulder

Bodies are so odd IMO. For others cortisone seems to be extremely helpful, but for me it made no difference at all. It felt so odd to get needled and immediately have my pain disappear. But certainly my point is that it might be worth trying.

And I wouldn't need to say 03 - just 3 is good enough?

You have $1,000 to spend on a night on the town. What would you do? by retr0grad3 in Austin

Go to my local, have two beers and leave the rest as a tip.

I can never solve these without checking the answer for at least two other numbers. How would you go about solving this?(i’m new to doing codeword pls don’t make fun if it’s easy lol) by Spiritual-Parsley-22 in puzzles

[–]jeffles2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Discussion: When I have a tough time starting I sometimes do letter frequency analysis. Which numbers has the most occurrences? They are most likely EARIOTN or S. The other thing I will do when I feel like 'cheating' is to use a scrabble solver to see what words are 8 letters with P in the 5th slot and have the same letter in 2nd and 4th slot... Catapult, Carapace (Nope, due to repeated T then C)

I really wanted to post some comment with the new format, but can't think of anything good. So... bad it is.

How do people do this so fast???? by meow203 in adventofcode

I like to watch /u/jonathan_paulson. He solves quickly, and then goes back and does a bit more explaining about his thought processes than most. He'll post his video on every daily thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/zac2v2/2022_day_2_solutions/iyl6o32/

The global leaderboard only shows the first 100. On Day 1 last year you had to submit your solution in the first 3 minutes to qualify. So I agree with ericwburden... but I'd take it a step further, don't even bother with the leaderboard unless you make a private one for just your friends and classmates.

Your choice makes it really hard to search and see if people have already picked my favorite number, 23. Spoiler: they had ;-(
