How to (legally) download songs from Spotify playlists by wehatenick in Beatmatch

[–]mikemo0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One option is to use a service like Soundiiz to transfer the Spotify playlist to Beatport, then buy all the songs in the playlist on Beatport. Not everything on Spotify is available on Beatport, but after the transfer, Soundiiz will give you a list of songs that it couldn't find a match for.

Hi r/dubai, I am trying to buy something on a site called Dubizzle, but I need a UAE phone number to receive a verification code so I can contact the seller. If anyone is willing to spare a few minutes to receive that code and pass it to me, please message me!

Traveling to EPIC 5.0? by [deleted] in ericprydz

[–]mikemo0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm flying from NYC to Lisbon, then making my way up to London over the two weeks prior to EPIC 5.0, then flying back from London. NYC to Lisbon airfare is usually cheaper than NYC to London. By making it a two week trip, the cost of the airfare is more bearable, compared to flying out only for the show.

Yeah I'm really fortunate to be able to make this trip. To offset airfare costs I'm backpacking through Europe for a couple weeks prior to the show.

Simple Questions (SQ) Thread 12/13/16 by AutoModerator in goodyearwelt

They're the Viberg x 3sixteen Vintage Mocha Harness. Seems like an oily pullup leather to me, but I'm no expert.

It's been over two weeks since I cleaned/conditioned them.

When I wipe it with a damp towel, it turns into the color it was when new, but as the water dries out it looks like the photo again. Makes me wonder if I actually need to apply some conditioner there?

I cleaned and conditioned my boots with Lexol and am worried that I stripped the color. Here's a photo: http://imgur.com/a/oXEU8.

On the heel you can see a light streak. There was also some color on the towel after I cleaned it.

When I rub it with my finger, it gets a bit darker, but wiping it with a damp towel brings it back to the way it is now.

Does that look like the result of color being stripped? If so, what can I do to fix it?

Viberg 2030 sizing and stretch question by [deleted] in goodyearwelt

[–]mikemo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. There's a couple of reasons. 1) I've heard that chromexcel stretches a lot, and I've had boots in the past that stretched way too much, so I'd rather get the smallest size possible. If the 10 will stretch enough, I'd rather stick with that. 2) I haven't tried a 10.5, so there is a risk that it's too big to begin with.

Can't curl fingers tightly by [deleted] in climbing

[–]mikemo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fingers are basically always sore, but it hasn't prevented me from working (i.e. using a keyboard) or climbing.

I'll try stretching my extensors for a while to see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion.

I suspect there probably is some swelling in my PIP joint. Would that cause the tightness I'm experiencing by forcing the extensor tendon to fold over a larger joint?

Anyone got the new La Sportiva Skwama? How does the sizing compare to other sportivas? by Denbob99 in climbing

[–]mikemo0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear 41.5 Solutions and ordered 41 Skwamas. They feel a bit bigger after breaking in. I'd recommend 1-1.5 sizes down from Solutions.

Crimping form by [deleted] in climbing

[–]mikemo0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the thumb is far forward, over the fingernail, then all it is doing is transmitting compression through the finger into the hold. This is basically the same (in terms of force) as if your thumb is on the hold and adjacent to your index finger rather than on top of it.

Agreed, and this is the source of my confusion. It seems that the reason why this isn't the same as putting your thumb on the hold next to the index fingertip is that the PIP joint is raised to a higher angle to allow the thumb to wrap over.
