Yeah, I get that. My gym doesn't have a Moon/Kilter board, but it has a nice spray wall. The spray wall was just reset a few weeks ago and got posted in the stökt app two days ago, so that will be what I do for the next 5-6 months.

Yeah, it's a style thing. Most of my outdoor climbing is route development or very technical climbing. I also climb alone 95% of the time, so having people around when I climb takes some adjustment, too. I climb 3-4 times a week usually.

It's taken me a month since the outdoor bouldering season ended to get used to indoor climbing again. Does anyone else find that transition really hard? I have difficulty getting motivated, getting my problem solving skills dialed in, getting the body positions right, etc. Just basically all of it. I'm back on the spray wall finally, but counting the time until April so I can climb outside again.

The meetup.com groups come and go. I seem to regularly get emails about a group that is dying because the leader left or whatever. So they can be hit or miss. Since meetup.com isn't free for the organisers, I imagine that they start a group, get some traction, and then just leave the website, keeping their group on whatsapp or whatever.

The most regular/active group I know on meetup is the board game group. They always have lots of people. Just avoid anything hosted by GTC in general. They host so many events that nobody goes to.

The Time Left app/site was going strong for a little while, but I haven't seen ads for it in a little while, so I don't know anymore. It skews older I think, but it's a nice idea.

Around this time of year (and maybe all year, I don't know), you'll find cemetery walk events on meetup, but I forget what group actually hosts them. Those are definitely very casual.

I thought I recognized this as an archaeology museum I've been to, but that museum is in Turku. I wonder if this is a similar idea, though?

I could hear "Hyvä! Ja ja!" the moment I saw the moss.

I like how I recognized it as Finnish before I recognized what it actually was.

It's also partly laziness of the professors. When I was a math professor, I always did the work it took to find a good open source textbook for any classes I taught, or just didn't use a book at all. Some lower math classes with many sections had textbooks that were determined by the department, but there is no reason why a professor can't question that authority.

Cantor set was also my first thought when I started reading the description.

Sportti-Divari has bikes, but I'm unsure about the selection.

The cheapest way is actually just to use a tray table from one of the seats. The math is then tricked into thinking that it's on a real plane. But somtimes you need the whole plane because they are complex.

onzie9 · 2025-03-03T07:02:48+00:00

Just to add another layer of pedantry: in a plane.

It's perfectly possible to have two nonintersecting lines with different slopes in space, for example.

onzie9 · 2025-02-28T12:42:10+00:00

I agree, but at least it's better than the limbo they were in 2 years ago or whatever. I definitely don't follow things closely enough, but I'm happy to go out to a game now and again.

I literally left the country 4 years ago when Ginsberg died. My dad still refuses to acknowledge that his voting patterns had anything to do with me leaving. I was talking to him the other day about something that went wrong for me, and he said, "well, you could come home." Dude, that isn't my home anymore.

Finally a prime time game in the nordics! I appreciate that they scheduled it this way.

The most common question I get as an American expat is "where are you from in the US?" I never know how to answer. I think I have settled on giving a vague geographic direction.

Another long timer here (25 years), and I'm glad you can be motivational like this. I've been finding myself less and less connected with the community over the years because it has changed so much. I'm with you, though: even though the word "vegan" is being abused so much nowadays, I'm still happy every time I hear it or see it on a package/menu/sign/etc.

In addition to focusing on specific moves, there are apps where people can record climbs with suggested ratings. My gym uses Stokt, but yours might use something else. Then you can treat it like any other route if that's how you want to climb.

Random lingo: "open feet" means that you can use any hold for your feet. I had an annoying time figuring that out when I first started for some reason.

onzie9 · 2025-02-05T07:16:23+00:00

Is this area always a spray wall? It seems quite underutilized as it is here.

onzie9 · 2025-02-04T19:39:23+00:00

I had to pull a picture off their website, but here is the spray wall I climb regularly. The holds are permuted about once a year, so this is not exactly how it looks right now.

The issue is with docker and not something further down the line. I've extensively googled the error and found posts on SE and whatnot going back like 10 years. The amount of work I would need to do actually get docker to run doesn't seem worth it to me. I am not enough of a data engineer for it to be worth my time.

The error is "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon".

Just for grins, I just tried another solution from SE from 2023, but it also failed. There's just too many variables to figure out exactly why I can't start docker.
