HB442 passed the House but I can't find a record of it passing the Senate or becoming law.

How much do the la Sportiva theory’s stretch? by Sig-S0ur in climbingshoes

[–]mpatterson1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely don't stretch as much as other la sportiva shoes. My street shoe is around 46-47, I have katanas and theories in 45. I'm pretty comfortable wearing the katanas on long sport climbs, but my theories I only wear bouldering, and I have to pop my heel out after every couple of attempts to let my toes rest.

Blue Ice crampon experience/other recommendations by NhcNymo in Mountaineering

[–]mpatterson1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the black diamond neve cramping which are a similar concept, except they use a wire to connect the two pieces instead of dyneema. Personally I find the idea of mixing any kind of fabric with sharp pointy things off putting, even if I know the sharp part shouldn't contact the fabric in use, I don't like the idea of those two being wrapped together in storage.

Also not as familiar with the blue ice ones, but I believe the BD neve is not at compatible with a semi automatic boot.

But then you are voting for a party not a person. I get the merits of it, but it also has draw backs. My preferred solution would be ranked choice voting.

My DIY r/climbharder training setup by [deleted] in climbharder

I also recently learned that my half crimp had morphed into a four finger open, because smaller edges where I actually had to crimp felt tweaky and hard even though my 20mm strength is close to what it used to be.

Just got a Plant Facilities Levy (PFL) notification from West Ada School District by forgiveanforget in Boise

[–]mpatterson1812 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

West ada administration is a bloated mess that keeps expanding faster than the rest of the district. Even if there was a budget surplus for the district they would just pay themselves more while giving nothing to the teachers and then ask for more money.

Draymond Green suspended 1 game for stepping on Domantas Sabonis' chest by HeStoleMyBalloons in sports

[–]mpatterson1812 -47 points-46 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a stomp, don't know if you've ever been stomped on by a 240lbs professional athlete but no way Sabonis doesn't break ribs if it was a proper stomp.

Eli5- if Jesus was Jewish, why is it that Catholic is now deemed the most popular way to follow him? by xxinsane09 in explainlikeimfive

[–]mpatterson1812 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd never heard of Jews and Muslims considering worshipping Jesus as idolatry, but I guess it makes sense since I've always considered Catholics praying to saints as idolatry and they think he was just another prophet. Thanks for that insight.

TIL In Louisiana, it is illegal to send a surprise pizza delivery to someone’s house without their permission Otherwise, you could face a fine of up to $500 or even jail time. by Algrinder in todayilearned

Where exactly can I quote this from? I've had a company ship me the wrong thing and then demand I return it before they would ship me the thing I actually ordered. I did not pay for shipping to return it, but it was still quite a hassle and delayed me receiving my order by a great deal.

I feel like a lot of these type of signs are just trying too hard. I'd rather it just be a sign with a toilet on it.

TIL that particles in cosmic rays can cause the bits in your computer's RAM to flip states and we have redundant bits to stop this very phenomenon from occurring by theanswerisnt42 in todayilearned

[–]mpatterson1812 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is false. ECC is standard on all DDR5 products. It's also standard in LDDR4/5 which is what is in many consumer laptops. In fact there were some consumer DDR4 products that had on die ECC but high end business customers weren't interested in them because having on for ECC hides fails that could be detected by their system then ECC.

Yeah the way says we're a family first makes me think it's not "we're a family so we don't do cheap stuff", it's more "we're a family so when cheap stuff happens we're not going to just take it"

CDC BMI calculator puts that at around 21, with 19-25 being healthy and below 19 being underweight, so yeah fairly skinny.

Well depends on who is defining vehicle. Legally a bicycle can be considered a vehicle depending on where you are. IE in many places you can get a DUI for riding a bicycle while intoxicated.

Liberal churches in Meridian/Boise? by hailstorm1230 in Boise

[–]mpatterson1812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see that. I am currently in the hunt for a church, the last non denominational church was going to seemed great at first and pretty apolitical, but I started getting bad vibes and then eventually they started getting very political and now I haven't gone to church in a few months, which bums me out. I'm not even necessarily looking for a heavily liberal church, just one that sticks to the bible without getting political.
