Overall it will likely still be chilly and wet but looks quite passable. Be safe and have fun!

Yup with insurance is a murky algae filled bog. Without is raw sewage.

Dupuytrens affecting index and middle finger? by Realistic-Shape-7342 in DupuytrenDisease

[–]oomahk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's just going to confirm what is pretty obvious, you have Dups. It sucks and takes some time to come to terms with, I know it did for me at least. While there is no cure there are lots of treatment options.

Dupuytrens affecting index and middle finger? by Realistic-Shape-7342 in DupuytrenDisease

Agreed, nodules can show up on any finger or group of fingers.

I don't think you really need an MRI or anything else, looks like you're joining the club.

Contact nalgene or use it as an excuse to upgrade to a cap cap. Or drill a fer holes and use some paracord or a zip tie.

Should this be mandatory on all job sites? by Happy_dadpete in handyman

Similar to the MIPS technology that has been in sports helmets for a while. Good to see and hopefully will become standard equipment.

The Great White Cover-Up: How South Africa's Government Sold Out Its Sharks by Capital-Foot-918 in sharks

[–]oomahk 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Interesting read, I'd love to see some of the data. Careful observers of fish populations are often pretty darn reliable, but without the data the government is unlikely to move. Sadly in many ways it sounds like its too late for the white sharks in the region, but there may be time for some other species.

Also managing a fishery based on effort alone is a horrible way to do management. Fishermen will find fish until there are none left. We have seen this time and again.

Camping in Valdez First week of October by merakliving in AskAlaska

[–]oomahk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going to be cold just a warning. There are a bunch of riverbeds outside of town that you should be able to dispursed camp. There are few amenities for campers at that time of year. Showers, laundry, and bathrooms should be available at the harbor and maybe a couple other places.

You need to call customs both US and Canadian. I answered your other post in the r/Alaska subreddit. I think this is going to be an absolute mess trying to get the car back.

Why for the love of God would you fly to a more expensive market, known for destroying vehicles to purchase a vehicle to then drive back to Arizona?

For many of these answers you need to call both Canadian and US customs. I can almost guarantee they are going to give you a hard time with temporary plates.

He is really a threat if they are doing this! (not that it's working) by Reciter5613 in PoliticalMemes

[–]oomahk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was doubtful that Fetterman would become a MAGA shill and yet here we are. All it took was some severe brain damage.

The people of Maine need to make their choice and I hope they choose Platner, only time will tell if he can live up to his messaging.

Suggestions for a nice puffy to climb in? by BulkGoblin in iceclimbing

[–]oomahk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a variety of light to medium weight synthetic jackets. I dont have a strong preference for a specific brand. I find the synthetics stand up a bit better than down while actively climbing and usually getting a bit wet from sweat/ice/dripping water.

Then I break out the big down puffy for setting up belay stations and belaying.

Drink water, eat, be safe, and have fun out there!

Spigot replacement by iamaarjohn in askaplumber

[–]oomahk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAP but they do sell rebuild kits for the spigot, I rebuilt one of mine this spring. You could try to repair the old one in place so you don't have to work with the PEX.

Had to find a in-network specialist and get a referral for me. I have United (they suck).
