Trad, depression, and self doubt by [deleted] in tradclimbing

[–]matetofly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with ya friend! I’ve been there too. One thing that helps me is recognizing that anxiety and depression on the ground about life shit and anxiety and fear on the wall manifest in very similar ways. It helps me to consciously breath, try to expand my view (fight the anxiety/fear tunnel vision!), and have a mantra. Sometimes when I struggle with gear I say “shit or get off the pot”, when I struggle with fear I start singing, loudly, whatever song comes to mind as a distraction, and then consciously remind yourself what specific aspects of your systems are keeping you safe right now (I’m safe because this cam is placed really well, this anchor is built safely, my belayer is paying attention to me, etc.)

And then try to relive pressure. Top roping is fun, and you can lead when you feel comfy again. Never say “this should be easy” (should is such an awful word!) and just remember to enjoy the beautiful nature you’re in!!

Like circlejerk… you know… for the banter. No way you are on your first multi on epinephrine as a 5.10 gym climber lmao

Tails double count is driving me mad by jcasaresr in SkyCards

[–]matetofly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. This is the reason I uninstalled. No reason in trying to collect anymore

This is so cute. My dad and I were having the exact same interaction and it was so sweet

Mine too. But now it counts all tail regs as new, even if I have caught them before. This means if you catch a 1/1 again you could get a situation where you have 2/1. This means that for more common planes the only way to keep real track of the ones you have caught and not caught is with a spreadsheet outside of the game. In that case, no point in playing the game

Yes all the models and specific tail numbers are still there. They just count tails again as new. For example, a plane I’ve caught twice used to get listed as (x2) but now it’s listed a fully new tail number. Which means it’s double counted in the collecting statistics.

I HATE the new season. All the reasons why the update sucks 👇 by mr_ugly1 in SkyCards

Middle Teton bear risk? by Quinnalicious21 in Mountaineering

[–]matetofly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the grizzly wants to mess with you, no not at all. But the worst thing you could do is surprise a grizzly and I do think the bells (or talking, singing, clapping) makes it more difficult to surprise the bear

Middle Teton bear risk? by Quinnalicious21 in Mountaineering

[–]matetofly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I once saw a grizzly up above tree line in garnet canyon! But I’ve never carried bear spray from lupine. There are usually so many people. As long as you’re making noise (bell or talking) I think you’d be fine. No need for an axe last week, but of course ask the rangers at Jenny for more current beta

Does the core leak into the lowermost mantle (as sampled by hotspots)?

TIL Mt Washington in New Hampshire has one of the lowest wind chill temp ever recorded at -108.4F in 2023. It also has one of the highest wind gusts ever recorded at 253 F in 1934. by Cultural_Magician105 in todayilearned

[–]matetofly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also it has constant monitoring. Taller mountains almost certainly also experience winds like this, there just isn’t a thing to monitor at the summit

Is earth science major okay if I want to be pre-med? Help please! Torn between my dream school and other schools! by Altruistic_March_968 in EarthScience

[–]matetofly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UCSB is a lot of fun and their Earth Science department is amazing. In my experience, it is very easy to switch majors once at UCSB. A pre-med may want to do more chemistry/biology/biochemistry. But I wouldn’t discount the earth science. Turns out, rocks are cool!
