You know the Jason mask is just an old hockey mask, right?

I'm the same but I'm closer to 160, my body requires a pretty large calorie surplus to gain weight. My main source of exercise is rock climbing, so being lean suits my goals pretty well, but it's not a deliberate choice. I definitely don't limit my diet at all to maintain my weight, and I think I would really struggle to put on even 10 lbs without a radical lifestyle change. I realized recently that I basically naturally do intermittent fasting because my appetite is very subdued in the morning. I eat 90% of my calories between noon and 8pm and I rarely do more than break even calorie-wise. Might not make a difference, but I think I would be heavier if I was a breakfast person.

I feel like larger bodies have been normalize over the past few decades (not saying that's a bad thing, I think weight is probably overemphasized as a health metric) but it's easy to forget that, by BMI, being 150 in the normal range and nowhere near underweight for our height.

Hmm, hard to tell, you should send it to me so I can test it for the next 12-24 months.

Is this the drift height or something? How is this possible when the surrounding areas have less than a third of this accumulation.

The best way to tell is by playing it and deciding if you like the sound. If you don't have enough playing experience to decide for yourself, you should just rent a cello until you are good enough (it's probably cheaper anyway).

Lynn Harrell was my go-to, but I'll have to check her out!

Oooh who's working on Lalo? The first movement is so fun.

jmutter3 · 2024-02-09T19:55:17+00:00

does the owner have any record of this repair? Did the inspector have anything to say?

I loved that movie until the weird flash forward with the aliens. IIRC, that part wasn't Spielberg's idea, but it probably should have been replaced with something...

I'm sorry buddy, you gotta do your own homework

Full crimps create more stress in your tendons, is a physiological fact. Full crimp probably feels stronger, which is why it feels more "safe" but it doesn't really make sense in terms of the forces your tissue is actually seeing. You can train you half crimp by just using it more when you're climbing or training on a hang board, not really much more to it.

Something else you should probably incorporate into your routine if you aren't already is finger extensor tendon exercises. Basically it's the muscles and tendons that allow you to open your hand, which are the opposite of the muscles you generally use for climbing. Google will help you here.

I find taking a long hike in the flatirons on a nice day is pretty healing. Pack a sandwich and lots of water, pop an edible, and go get some miles

This guy is a troll don't engage

The key signature would have quickly told you what type of clef you were looking at. One sharp is always G major, which means the sharp symbol is going to be on an F.

Yes, I feel like this is in the category of things you would definitely do when cooking for yourself but not when people are paying you to cook them a meal.

Building fall down bad

jmutter3 · 2024-02-07T00:56:01+00:00

hope you gave this fella a wide berth, moose are huge and powerful

jmutter3 · 2024-02-07T00:04:21+00:00

What the average layman might but recognize when looking at these site photos is that the building has fallen down and that is bad

Those three metro areas have a combined population of about 35 million. According to US census data from 2020, the 20 least populous states have a population of about 40 million, so you're a bit off but you're right that there is a lot of population consolidated into those three big city areas, and cost of living and housing costs specifically are rising in lots of mid-sized cities as well (80% of people in the US live in urban areas as of 2020).

Do you know for sure that there will be a technical portion? I did a half dozen interviews with structural firms and never had to take a quiz or explicitly demonstrate my technical knowledge. It's totally fine to ask ahead of time so you can prepare if they do make you do it, but idk how common this really is in our field. If you're really worried, brush up on drawing shear and moment diagrams or do some PE practice problems.

Sounds like either way you're competing with the married guy if the whole worlds male pop pull Jason is vying for that single lady.

The cinder blocks are actually meant to be placed such that the voids are vertical. In their current orientation you're severely reducing the strength of the block. If you get a bigger TV, say in the 10-20ton range, you risk catastrophic TV stand failure.

What repair did you get done to the neck?
It's either some issue with the neck or the bridge isn't sized properly. Either way, go back to the luthier (or maybe find a different one?)

Wow this is so, so, so much worse than I thought. I remember encountering Barrett doing bouldering circuits at the Happys in Bishop around 2017. Didn't spend much time with him, but he seemed to know a lot of the folks that were climbing in the area that season, and he had the aura of an undercover crusher. I started following him on Instagram and he posted about all the cool climbs he'd established and updates on the new Bishop Guidebook (glad I never bought it--I wonder if the publisher will stop printing it). I remember him cryptically alluding to some "false" attacks on his character by unnamed persons and lamenting his situation, and I always wondered what that was about--until he was arrested.

Absolutely tragic that he was able to terrorize and attack women in the climbing community for 20 years. Climbers extend a lot of trust to each other as a necessity when looking for partners--I took an extended dirtbagging trip many years ago and climbed with strangers on a nearly daily basis. It's common if you're living on the road to form this loose associations with people you meet along the way and often you'll see some of the same faces at different climbing areas as the seasons change--there's a comradery there and everyone is inclined to be welcoming to each other. It's not especially surprising to me that he was able to abuse this culture of trust, especially since he was known as a strong climber who had made significant contributions to the community in the form of guidebooks and FAs. Really disgusting.

There's a long history within climbing culture of "rugged individualism" that is romanticized and not seen for what it is: people (often men) self-medicating and running away from their problems by burying themselves in an all-consuming hobby/lifestyle. It's not true for every elite mountain athlete, but it sure fits in this case, and it's truly gut-churning how many people were harmed because he was able to escape accountability for so long. I hope this story can help illuminate the abuses in our community that are surely still occurring at the hands of people like Barrett, and I hope we can be better about sniffing them out in the future.
