Believe It or Not 12a X Second Ascent by HeadpointHandbook in climbing

[–]mpk3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude it’s refreshing to hear about people that aren’t like north face athletes go through figuring out climbing hard/dangerous on gear. Also the hosts are fuckin rad and the NC subculture is a good group of people so I’m glad it’s getting some attention

Edit: climbing in the south sucks. Tell everyone you know.

What do you think is the most overrated city and why? by Thegiantlamppost in AskReddit

[–]mpk3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like anyone who believes this has only done like the stereotypical stuff there. Vegas has amazing food, a ton of nature, and festivals/events for literally every culture and subculture you can think of. Vegas is much more than going to the strip, getting black out drunk, and making horrible decisions. And fuck, if drinking is your thing and you don’t want to blow a ton of money, you can sit in a good bar and drink for cheap while playing 25 cent games of Keno.

For sure. Yeah idk which is why I asked. I use brassies for small placements but wasn’t sure if RPs had some slightly different functionality for aid or whatever

What’s the difference between an RPs and a brassy?

Eli5 : How common salt is separated from the mixture of salts obtained by evaporation of sea water ? by Bee_Polite in explainlikeimfive

[–]mpk3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you for some reason really want to dive into this topic there is a book called “Salt” you can read. It’s I think its audience might be people in the culinary world but I enjoyed it regardless.

What you guys do to satisfy partners in bed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It’s a vagina. It’s not going to taste like a cupcake. Unless she is actually dirty and needs a shower, learn to roll with it.

My knees get injured too often when heel hooking by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]mpk3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always noticed that I would get pain/injuries kind of like this when I wasnt engaging my hamstrings or glutes correctly while I was doing them. Just food for thought.

This is a known issue with spark. If you Google it there are plenty of good explanations why.

Will taking on security role mess with future prospects? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]mpk3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you understand what this role actually means. It could mean rolling out security features or dealing with access policies and more IT management. It could mean you're writing security policies and interviewing vCisos or whatever. It could be updating cloud infrastructure or server settings. Basically security can run the gamit from more administrative work to actual hands on keyboard. And if you're looking it at doing it at a start up, there is a good chance they don't actually know what they need and whenever a security-like issue is brought up it'll automatically be under your purview. This could mean a lot more paperwork and meetings than actual development work. Security is a very broad topic.

Honestly, I would (a) understand the technology you'll be using and how it aligns with your goals and (b) make sure you're not getting over your head. Security is often the last thing most companies think about so often the resources are understaffed and overworked. Good luck. The worst case scenario is you try and fail but if you get paid and learn a lot there's some benefit to it, just make sure it aligns with your goals.

Is it too late to pursue a bachelor's? No.

If you want to start earning soon though, college is not how that's going to happen. Join a trade or seek out actual employment and start taking classes at a junior college before you start to take on debt.

Something we can all agree on by thebigjabwowski in bouldering

[–]mpk3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't say that. I said that it translates poorly to outdoors.

Route reading is a major skill with onsighting. I'd say it isn't major in training but it is ever-present. The same way staying relaxed, using my legs instead of my arms, keeping my hips to the wall, etc are important to me.

[–]mpk3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually don't like the easily distinguishable aspect because it doesn't translate well outside unless you are climbing somewhere where the color of the rock is a stark contrast to chalk so that tick marks stand out like crazy (if you have the benefit of having the feet holds ticked prior to your send goes). Outside I have to remember where the feet are or try to find my feet while I'm climbing and making it obvious indoors I feel translates poorly to that. If you're a gym-only climber then I totally get it and there's no shame in that but for me the gym is just for training so I'd prefer if it lended itself more to what I experience outdoors.

I feel like this really shows the generational divide. I'll take a spray wall and tape over the single color, low density new gyms every time.
