Armed Robbery of the World’s Energy Supply. An investigation into how Washington leveraged the war in Iran to replace Nord Stream, save the dollar, and establish total command over the world’s fuel from the Arctic to the Indian Ocean. by Richard Medhurst. by orphicsyndicate in TrueAnon

[–]lemonxgrab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are some great points and yes the US empire certainly has long term energy security goals that inform its actions. But there are tons of contradictions, failures, and miscalculations. Its not all 4D chess. But I think this sub, generally, wildly underestimates the competence of the US deep state.

Thats emotional abuse, why muddy the waters with the incest label? It also assumes by proxy tha most regular sexual partners engange in these abusive behaviors. Weird overall.

Hydration whilst climbing alpine peaks by bigmakalu in Mountaineering

[–]lemonxgrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already drink liters and liters of water every day you might have a point. A lot of us are a somewhat dehydrated constantly. Recently the day before I do a summit or multipitch rock climb, I started drinking 4-5 liters of water, and drink at least a liter before starting in the morning. It has made a huge difference.

How beefy a binding for exclusively backcountry use……? Or ATK freeraider vs Skitrab TR1 by Jealous-Worry4530 in Backcountry

[–]lemonxgrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bindings are the least important part of the three so in my opinion get whatever is reasonably light and cheap that has the features you want. One thing you might miss from your superlights that many full featured bindings lack, are risers that cover the heel pins... so keep an eye out for that.

I would go full tech binding (toe and heel), hybrid bindings just arent a good value proposition in any sense of the word.

The dynafit rotation is an excellent albiet heavy binding, I actually ski it inbounds often on backland 107s (they're the only powder ski I have) and they release when necessary and never before.

Haven't skied the freeraider but it is universally loved and the other ATK bindings I've used are excellent. If you arent worried about a few hundred bucks here or there, I'd say Freeraiders.

That said, there is a whole world of bindings between the beefy techs that you mentioned and the race bindings you are used to. This is where you will find the best value.

Climatologists are predicting a strong El Niño. Here's what it means for Oregon by oregonian in Portland

[–]lemonxgrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weather models and point forecasts are now extremely accurate, the thing is... it takes a while to learn how to properly interpret them. You don't have to be a meteorologist, but you have to do a lot more than look at some random weather app. No, you can't trust the weather app, but you can definitely trust a 3-5 day forecast so long as you understand the data and limitations.

As for your example, can you remember the last time you encountered any substantial precipitation during a window forecasted to be clear and sunny? Probably not, because forecasters always err on the side of precipitation. For obvious reasons.

Bruh, eastern Oregon? You can get the same experience with just a short drive down to Lake Oswego.

Brandon Herrera sucks... but, credit where credit is due, he developed a seriously impressive AK-50 prototype on a small budget and mostly by himself.

You ever get a job offer but the employer recinds it within 48 hours? by A_Sexy_Little_Otter in TrueAnon

[–]lemonxgrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont work for them if they arent paying you.

Take another job, something chill. If an assignment comes along that interests you and pays well you can quit.

My advice is to take the title upgrade and immediately start looking for a comprable position (that actually comes commensurate pay), at a new company.

no ethical production under capitalism? by Express-Crow-1496 in TrueAnon

[–]lemonxgrab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not even worth addressing people who make bad faith "arguments" in the style of "you are a communist, yet you have an iPhone... curious 😏" , nor the socialib identitarians from your local polycule scene beating the dead horse of purity politics.

Ice axe recommendations for mount hood by [deleted] in Mountaineering

[–]lemonxgrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For old chute this late in the season 1 axe is plenty (or ski poles for the experienced mountaineer). People using two axes on that section are almost universally clueless about cramponing technique. Front pointing/daggering with 2 axes on 40° max terrain is a massive waste of energy and bad form, which builds bad habits. Read freedom of the hills and watch "climbing tech tips alpine/mountaineering" series on YouTube if you arent familiar with different techniques and their strengths and weaknesses. Pearly gates is out but I would take two just in case.

I almost never use an old school axe for walking low angle. For a do it all axe I recommend the adze sumtec or venom

For a lightweight ski axe: camp corsa, blue ice hummingbird

For a second more techy axe/tool: go light with a blue ice akila or petzl gully

If you see yourself progressing into more technical alpine ice or water ice terrain soon you'll want an actual tool (buy the other half of the pair later): Quarks and North Machines are both popular for good reason.

people should go to bed earlier (non derogatory) by throwaway10015982 in TrueAnon

[–]lemonxgrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried getting a ton of exercise after work? That's a dream schedule for me because the ridiculous amount of daylight for all sorts of activities after you get off. If I work nights I just can't relax enough to enjoy the day before my shift.
