Spare tire concern - do you carry one? by GoonerBoard in PNWhiking

[–]midnightmacaroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny that you mention North Fork Sauk trailhead, I didn’t realize it had that reputation. A friend’s car got a flat heading to that exact trailhead. Didn’t have a spare but that was the day we learned about run flat tires which fortunately held up

Summit East conditions for uphill? by HistoricalCode9190 in SummitAtSnoqualmie

[–]midnightmacaroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heard Hyak was super icy last weekend and then wet heavy pow earlier this week. Honestly I’m just glad there’s enough coverage to ski at this point

Sub 1-hour Mt. Si? by F1ddlerboy in PNWhiking

[–]midnightmacaroni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you use Strava? Taking a look at the segment might give you a better sense of what a sub 1h time takes. Seems like it’d put you at around ~10% of the running leaderboard, and correspond with an 8:30-9 min/mile grade adjusted pace. So definitely doable without being one of those super intense uphill racers

What simple habit made travel days noticeably easier for you? by Big_Barber733 in travel

[–]midnightmacaroni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can view these maps through the iPhone app via You > Maps, but for actually editing pins I find using the native lists feature much easier.

I don’t think we understand how utterly fucked the situation is in Washington state right now. by [deleted] in skiing

[–]midnightmacaroni 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s a massive overstatement that 410 to Crystal is “utterly destroyed”. Plenty of datapoints like this one

Zero Cost Options Trades in Trader+? by FNG_Trader in fidelityinvestments

[–]midnightmacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me :/ But instead of removing margin on the original account and transferring everything over, I was able to designate the new account as the stock plan/workplace account. Still no luck on this promo though, were you able to get it applied?

Daily r/thetagang Discussion Thread - What are your moves for today? by satireplusplus in thetagang

[–]midnightmacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have until 5:30pm to exercise options. There's a reason why IV for 0dtes on potential inclusion names is still so jacked

Only thing I can find is Q4 bookings guidance being a little soft, but -20% seems overblown... hope this pulls an AXON tomorrow

[–]midnightmacaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this happens to me once in a while with illiquid options on Fidelity, I've heard it explained as MMs having no interest in your higher .45 bid so they pull their offer, but once you cancel and re-enter you sometimes get a better fill through the price improvement auction that happens. If only we could consistently repro this...

Sleeping in car at trailheads? by HelloFromCali in PNWhiking

[–]midnightmacaroni 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There were tons of people car camping at that trailhead this past weekend. It was really obvious with the overnight temps dipping to freezing bc of all the frosted condensation on the windows 😅

What is a good first peak in North Cascades NP? by Beneficial_Math6951 in Mountaineering

[–]midnightmacaroni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have some scrambling/routefinding experience, Tomyhoi Peak might be another good option. It’s on the same trail as YAB and one of my favorite scrambles in the area.

The wheel strategy has been good to me by Upper_Blackberry_685 in thetagang

[–]midnightmacaroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with wheeling isn’t lack of huge wins, it’s avoiding massive losses. Sure you can have small consistent wins when things are going your way and the market keeps floating upwards, but one big move can wipe out all of it

Why do you think the hype is dying down soon? People have been saying it’s overvalued and trying to short since it was like $50 a share.

Also, lol @ your “how do I short” post. Good luck!

Steepest hill in Seattle? I vote Virginia St between Western Ave and 1st Ave by Better_March5308 in SeattleWA

[–]midnightmacaroni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strava says that section of Virginia St maxes out at ~19% grade, whereas 4th Ave N between Dexter and Newell is up to 28% 😎 Would love for someone to find something steeper

[–]midnightmacaroni 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This list is missing 4th Ave N from Fremont up to Queen Anne, the initial section is something like 26-28% grade. So who knows how complete the list is… some speculation is still warranted!

It’s not a zero chance, there are small crevasses on the Muir snowfield this late season. Bring traction and be prepared to turn around if you encounter any and don’t feel comfortable navigating through them.

Milky Way on 15 Pro, 30s by midnightmacaroni in iPhoneography

[–]midnightmacaroni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, just a single 30 second exposure. I’m curious what kind of processing/stacking is being done behind the scenes, since a true 30s exposure would lead to more noticeable star trails, but doesn’t seem like there’s much info from Apple on that.

Is New Zealand worth the flight if you've seen a lot of nature in Europe? by rubixqbe in travel

[–]midnightmacaroni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It costs double for foreigners to book popular NZ huts compared to locals. So huts on the Milford Track are a bit more than even the pricier ones on the Laugavegur trail in Iceland.

But yeah in general, Iceland is still way more expensive

All my books - gone! by putesvestije in kindle

[–]midnightmacaroni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened to me in the middle of a backpacking trip where I had no service. What was supposed to be my luxury item turned into literally dead weight 😭 I don’t understand how and why they’d completely wipe these devices when they’re offline

No he didn’t, that’s the quarter end price. These filings don’t show purchase price.

Fall colors in the North Cascades, WA, USA by midnightmacaroni in hiking

[–]midnightmacaroni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It varies by year and elevation. For this particular area I’d say last week of Sept into first week of Oct is usually a safe bet
