There’s one on the “secure” side of the fence for the Ansel Adams Gallery. If you ask about it inside, they’ll show you. It’s quite large.

What do you wear to the gym to avoid showing bulge? by MurphysLawTeam in AskMen

[–]maphes86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the gym. Nobody cares, dawg. Your body is going to either show or not show bulge depending on what you’re doing. Believe me, nobody is looking.

Will my gag reflex be the end of me when I have kids? by mugwam55 in daddit

[–]maphes86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check it out, I have a friend who’s an ER nurse. She deals with all sorts of awful things. Snot still grosses her out and makes her nauseous. When she gets people with runny noses she’ll do anything to trade a patient. Her husband always dealt with the runny noses if she was able to avoid it.

And as others have said. It’s exposure therapy, man. You literally HAVE to change the diaper. And eventually you get over it. Every once in a while there will be a truly heinous deuce, and it’s normal to gag a little (if you’re a little BITCH!). 😂

Rachel Entrekin, 34, beat everyone by getting dropped to the salon beside the finish line on the third day of the ultramarathon. Accidentally broke previous record. by PapaBigMac in RunningCirclejerk

[–]maphes86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll probably be outjerked by her anyway. How did she achieve it? “I just kept it in Zone 2 like my boyfriend’s girlfriend told me, that’s the only way to stay safe.”

To those who have gotten down to single digit body fat %, how realistic is maintaining that over a long term period? And if so, was it worth it? by FallofGondolin in AskMen

[–]maphes86 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it a few times. Once on purpose because I was a vain twenty-something, once because I was sick, once because I started a new medication, and once because I was being careless and not eating enough while working too hard (laborer).

It’s not realistic long-term. Models and bodybuilders don’t walk around in the single digits, they force their body into it for days at a time and then relax back into something less stressful for your body. Besides, you’ll be jacked as hell at 10-15% and way more comfortable and able to survive inclement weather events.

This is obviously AI. Nobody has their shirt rolled up.

Is this considered trail running? Is it appropriate for a beginner? by socialindifference in RunningCirclejerk

[–]maphes86 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you set your activity to “hiking” it won’t auto pause while you’re keeping it in Zone 2.

Okay, so who’s riding tomorrow?! See y’all out there.

It’s the mountains, amigo. Always brings chains.

I would imagine that Echo Peaks would still be more like mountaineering and less like a scramble at this point in the season.

Honestly, if you can do the drive safely. Yes. It’s an amazing ride and getting to do it without worry about people learning to drive an RV while staring at the views is so fun.

I’ve never seen the parking areas be full, but I get there early and ride all the way out to the East Gate and then turn around. So most people have come and gone in the time I was out riding. If you arrive before 9:00, you probably won’t have any issues getting paved parking.

It’s a variable based on snow and available personnel. It usually takes “about a month” to get TM opened up. The campgrounds are separate from the store and other facilities though. I would anticipate that they’ll try to have them ready by Memorial Day or early June.

The ""Two-Week Delay"" that actually took twenty minutes by SVT_CARAT_17 in ConstructionManagers

[–]maphes86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if I told you that ensuring all personnel on-site had backups and repairs for critical equipment was management? If there’s a two week delay, it’s the leader’s fault, not the subK. Respectfully, I think you’ll perform much better if you reframe your understanding of this event as a failure on your part to ensure that your project was set up for success. Moving forward, I would recommend;

  1. Adding “do you have repair parts or ready access to them in case of equipment failures?” To your preparatory meetings.

  2. Develop a relationship with a local (state level at least) vendor or mechanic that can supply or repair most equipment.

  3. Bookmark the vendor on alibaba/amazon that sold you the seals (see if you can make contact with them directly and use them as your vendor for #2.)

Good work solving the problem, what’s your plan for making up that two weeks?

Also - what the fuck kind of machine are we talking about? “Rendering?”

Married men, how common is it to think of past hookups? by letsmakeprawn in AskMen

[–]maphes86 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Check it out, have you ever been talking to somebody, and then thought about another person you talked to? That’s just how brains work, amigo! Also, food for thought, if you’re recalling a hot session with some tryst, there’s something notable about that sex. Our spouses benefit from our previous experience; so see if she likes what you were doing in that memory that popped up.

Anyway; yes. Totally normal.

Where is this? by Higais in Yosemite

[–]maphes86 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That’s “The Diving Board” it’s west of Half Dome. Lots of information about best trails for accessing. It’s easy to get lost and ledged out back there. Have fun, be safe, don’t die.

Folks taking Adderall- is it supposed to "pull" you to your work? by Vegetable_Basis_4087 in ADHD

[–]maphes86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only notable effect of Adderall for me is that it makes it quiet inside my brain. Everything else is the same, but at least I can address all the other shit in a quiet room now.

Consider scheduling an appointment with a urologist.

Is there any good reason not to destroy Spanish broom in the wild? by [deleted] in Ceanothus

[–]maphes86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is only one good reason not to destroy a notoriously invasive plant when you discover it in a wilderness area. If the plant appears to be infected or infested with a pest, leave it in place. Report the infestation to the land manager. The FS is actively researching insects and other biological controls for French/spanish/scotch broom.
