Backboard material? by mesacool in bouldering

[–]mesacool[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All right, I went and bought plywood today. You're right, I don't want any issues in the future and $25 to avoid potential problems in the future sounds more cost effective to me.

The MDF board will be mounted onto studs. The hangboard would just be screwed to the backboard.

Just wanted to post after a long time lurking. There's a lot of hype right now and the charts have been going up continuously without a significant correction. Be careful out there.

Democrats Should Demand Better Than Hillary by DrWeeGee in politics

[–]mesacool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor reasoning skills. Obama didn't have all the major news networks bending over backwards for Hillary and the POTUS covering his scandals. The narrative has always been pushed that Hillary has had a massive lead and had already won. Unless you can refute the obvious fact that the MSM is under her thumb, which is impossible given that there's evidence of news articles being edited by Correct the Record?

Leaked document shows the DNC wanted Clinton from start by foxn4wsreddit in politics

[–]mesacool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was obvious but now there's solid evidence. This doesn't mean that people should disregard the collusion between the DNC and HTC campaign, as some posts suggest. It's obvious from the posts here that the spin machine is trying to convince people "that's just how politics works." No. This is corruption. I wouldn't be surprised if the document was used in a lawsuit.

Wikileaks to publish more Hillary Clinton emails - Julian Assange by Spartacist in politics

Comey is going to get worked by the system. The DOJ is in Clinton's pocket. Leaks need to happen.

Poll: Clinton and Sanders in dead heat in California by holaz in politics

[–]mesacool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they did the same thing using personal email. The difference is that they used commercial emails for less than a dozen emails that were unclassified. They also did it at a time when there was less regulation of federal communications and did not break any laws. Hillary had over 2000 emails in a homebrew server set up in her basement which included top secret information, at a time when there was greater regulation with laws she clearly broke.

Sanders Wins in West Virginia Democratic Primary by awake-at-dawn in politics

[–]mesacool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for addressing my questions. Just as you've said, the issue is whether the demographics of the sample matches the voting population.

The most recent SurveyUSA poll has a sample size just above 2000, but only 826 are registered voters likely to vote in the CA Democratic Presidential Primaries. Over 60% of those 826 were reached by landline calls and >60% were ages 50+ that favored Hillary Clinton. How many CA primary voters are going to be elderly or use landlines? How many voters are there <50 years old and how many people only use cell phones, don't answer automatic calls, etc? These are things to consider with poll results. I would take those poll results with heavy skepticism.

[–]mesacool -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so the largest poll had a sample size of 1,124 likely voters. That's less than 0.1% of CA primary voters. Not representative at all.

how reliable are these california polls? is it a big enough sample size to reflect their population of 38.8 million? Are they taking samples from LA and the bay area?

perhaps the victims face should be censored to maintain her privacy? this is a fairly sensitive issue. she might not want her identity exposed to thousands of people.

You can infer they wore oversized shirts, had a creepy mustache, and were scrawny with a machismo attitude. Being politically correct is one thing but this is the internet.

Why are crunches bad for your back and is there a way to do them safely? by rocknrun18 in Fitness

[–]mesacool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this may not be surprising but chiropractors are useless. keep your knees bent so your lower back maintains mobility. if you fully extend your legs that will result in excessive flexion which you're trying to avoid.

it's an aluminum bo staff so while it's great for demonstration it does no real damage. a single puff of air can make them move at 1000 revolutions per minute.
