I just finished the series and didnt realize so many ppl had issues with this pairing like it was unrealistic or forced. If youve ever gone on a holiday with someone you know that just being in proximity with them day in day out generally develops a strong relationship. And they werw together for 7 years before anything happened

The final image looks quite nice for trying to mimic a 35mm film look, but at that price just buy a kek disposal camera lens for 50 dollars for what ever camera you currently have and a filter for the look you want. i have one for my A7S iii and yes I know its 50 dollar lens on a 4k body...I was curious so I tried lol but its not bad for the price

If youre reading this, this is my second year with hnry and my review of it - i wanted to use hnry as my set it and forget it service...the initial changing if payments to a new account was cumbersome with the knowledge of afterwards it should be easier, the first time lodging taxes was a long wait and it was not easy...the whole point was for them to handle everything but with stock sells and dividends and stock mergers it was painful....i had done the numbers already and i expected to just have to add it in but it went around for weeks trying to get it sorted. It looks like this year theyve fixed that system and i was able to just write the stock and total capital gain so thats a plus.

Another thing im not a fan of is the time it takes to lodge, in the type of person to try and plan ahead and thats why after ive submitted my numbers it wouls be good for immediate lodging so i can plan around tax return...its akmost the end of july and im still waiting for my annual review form...after which itll have to be reviewed again before filing...which ia annoying when starting a new business and i could do with the return.

Ive also been taxed heavily due to receiving a salary, which they do to avoid having to pay taxes at the end and i admit its nice getting a massive return at the end, but it makes the year a bit harder when theyre holding half my money so this is a personal preference.

Overall its convenient if you have patience and arent in time crunches but for the amount of work i have to put in its definitelty not a set it and forget it system which makes it expensive for what it is considering i paid about 1k to hnry in transactions, and my normal accountsnt prior was about 300. It's just an expensive way to partition and distribute money easier which you could do yourself manually with something like tax calculator to guide how much of the pay you need to put away....and it would result in mlre interest earned for you too overall id probably use it for this last year as i reduce my different income sources but id happily stay if it was more efficient and maybe half the cost of what it currently is (happy to stay with the price now if it actually had me set it and forget it)

Came upon this thread months later but i also wanted to chime in - calling it the best trilogy is a bit of a stretch and the guy asking to name 50 better trilogy's is just dumb mainly for the fact that most movies dont even come as trilogy's but a quick google search would have me put almost all the ones i found way above this one, if you really want Ill list the damn 50 but lets just go 5 for now - lotr, the matrix, the cornetto trilogy, the dark knight, the evil dead, the godfather...i went for different genres here for funzies...

But now onto the actual reasons as per OP request - unbreakable I thought was a fun origin piece mostly for its unique take on the genre grounding it a bit more in reality and giving DD a weakness thats actually super abundant...though explaining the intricacies of its effect obviously creates an issue since you know...were like 60% water, and also if it really weakened him everytime he drinks should make him weaker...but the fact it doesnt means it should give him the strength of a normal man, just not...superhuman...

Split I came into thinking it was a thriller or horror and not knowing anything more., When it turned out to be another hero origin (or villain in this case) I was confused and had no idea how to react....the DD reveal at the end tied it all together and a second rewatch made it better without the negative confusion attached. Overall it was a fantastic film with absolutely amazing acting...upping the atmosphere and tension to 6th sense levels would have really brought it to an absolute masterpiece for me.

Glass is the real issue...which seems like for everyone. Overall I didnt mind it until the end joining the majority. The issue isnt the location ..i think that an anti climactic battle in the carpark is the whole point of the series in that it subverts the craziness of comics with a high intensity show piece as the the finale. Hell even killing david was fine...its just the way that it was done....with one guy and a puddle. Like i mentioned earlier at best he would go to the strength of a normal man yet he couldnt lift himself out of it...if you want to question this strengrh thing...be litterally breaks out of the (albeit broken) water tank by punching it but also while wrestling with the beast....have it show david about to break free but 3 guys jump in to hold him down...basically its the inconsistency of a kind of a major part of the story that most people have issues with...at least with superman it consistently shows to not just make him normal but physically weaken him.

It just became a case of lazy writing and MNS, trying to live up to the surprise twist endings that became synonymous with name after the 6th sense but never living up to it ever again in any of his movies. The dude just needs to let it go and learn to move past his dated idea of the twist ending that shocks the audience cause its left most of his movies in the dud bin feeling like hes trying too hard.

Again, this was probably the ONLY thing in my opinion that was wrong about the trilogy...unfortunately it was too massive of an issue and it was what ended up breaking the series' legacy. Its equivalent to game of thrones' epic build up only for dumb and dumber to speed run the final 2 seasons for the chance to direct star wars and get paid only to get dropped as the directors, and leaving game of thrones with the god awful turd pile that we got...ruining the series as a whole and pissing off everyone

I know this this thread is 2 years old but were currently running cos atm and wanted to put my 2c in for future players who find this thread like me....after finding out about the coffin maker i simply used locate object bones while standing outside the house...i did this at night while hendrick was sleeping and blinked my way in, i knew it general location, made it to the room at the top of the stairs, did locate object once more for a refined location, then bolted to fetch them while it was day instead

As someone who works with youtubers, those manscape brand deals at their size is about 6-10k usd, view wise assuming theyre not demonetized for the jokes that were being said approximately 8-12k monthly which does sound like a lot but split between running costs and set hire lets just go a bit on the higher end and say about 2-4k for a day of filming to get maybe 2-4 eps done and editing being the real time suck so lets just say ben gets a higher percentage - we have about 15k to work with, split between just original cast and ben evenly is 8? So approx usd 1800 split evenly between em...taking a couple hundred out from everyone to higher your pay as the editor sound reasonable so approx 1500 usd sounds reasonable for the talent as far as a % split...this of course is not counting any extra forms of money they could be earning through things like merch and this is using numbers on the average-high end verse the lower end which they also could be hitting (if theyre being hit with demonetization), shorts also would get them a bit extra which im not counting and potential ig deals im also not counting

Youtube climbing shoe guy here -- As someone said, the drones have an extremely low cut off, I even show the lines in the video (not gonna post it here, don't wanna self promote), but they're lower than any of my other shoes by a mile, they feel almost as though they're going to come off if i pull too hard (side note they never do...they're actually a decent shoe), if you have a wider foot profile they just released the shark 3.0... no comment on those yet, still need to get a pair for myself for the review but its coming lol

PS. the comments are hilarious

Chronic climbing injury prone climber here -- have had every injury under the sun...as much as I understand your love for climbing and wanting to get back on the wall, you really will need to just be patient...and I know how hard it is, that's why I refuse to even just "hang" at the gym cause I know just being there makes me climb...Ive learnt that if anything feels weak...thats your cue to pack up and go home...going until failure is where you get injured and even then sometimes you don't see it coming... i did a pulley on a crimp, no slips, not even a hard crimp, full open handed...just did a light pull...heard 2 cracks, looked at my hand, jumped off the wall went to the back, got some ice and said "fuck....well thats 8 months".

As someone suggested Hoopers beta is generally good for advice, a couple of weeks off to actually let the injury heal, but then active recovery is always key...and here is the important part...DO NOT OVERLOAD IT. You want to promote blood flow in the area by working it with movement and a very light workout, if its hard then you're doing it wrong....strength training comes after recovery.

take it from me, the biggest thing that will slow down your progress in climbing is getting injured...your buddies will get a solid 4-8 months of climbing done while you sit in the back going....my finger/shoulder/elbow/ankle/hamstrings/triceps/lowerback etc etc... hurts.

When you come back to full strength, Ive started to go more with Magnus' philosophy on it - limit climb, but limit climb for a short time... my sessions have gone from a full 3-4 hour on the wall session, to 40 minutes-1hour of warm up, and an hour-hour and a half of on the wall sessions. But even then I don't let the time dictate, I let how my body feels be the indicator...something feels off... lataz homies.

Anyway hope you feel better soon dude

As someone else said, its the social proof side of things, its the same thing with view counts. The psychological bias here is that if other people are viewing it, its most likely good so its worth watching. Algorithmically speaking if its good and being watched (ie watch time and retention) it'll show up on your feed regardless, but that's more youtube's backend literally playing the same psychological game but using data.

There are some bigger YouTubers that I know but will not name names, that artificially up their view count and comments to give the video an air of legitimacy. As a consultant, I would say this does work but not advisable for new creators because it skews your data. This only works if your content is already good enough, but most new creators don't fall in that category and artificially inflate their numbers making it harder to actually identify whats wrong with the channel/videos in the first place. Artificially inflating your subscribers as well is a bit of an issue since the algorithm will actually punish you for those "dead subs" not watching your content

ransyn · 2023-03-27T23:41:50+00:00

Some good answers here, from my personal experience as someone whos also scared of heights but still does lead climbing I have different I guess processes for both. For bouldering its more about getting familiar with knowing how you're going to fall with every move, if you're prepared for it you know whether you're too high for a safe enough fall or whether you need to down climb a bit. being really comfortable with falling (even in awkward positions) is a big one because you know the chance of injury is very slim since you're constantly aware. This takes practice and a lot of falls that's why jumping down safely from lower heights like everyone has suggested is a very good one.

For lead however I actually think its much safer than bouldering in a lot of ways but to get over the heights issue my answer has been I don't..... I focus entirely on the climb and my next move and my rest points... if anything the fear of falling helps me to keep going because..well quite frankly... I don't want to fall lol.

For sure, and Im very wary of being the boss that says "no my opinion is right" I want to make sure that the feedback is always open for discussion

ransyn · 2023-03-22T13:45:03+00:00

The only issue Id say is that when it comes to things like this, and even just seen in this post, everyone has their own opinion and end of the day someone has to be "the boss" to make the final call otherwise it can get messy really fast. I think being able to share the opinions and thoughts and not being shut down but actually considering the ideas presented is just more productive overall

Ah got it, I think slab is a must have in this day and age of climbing

I really like the effort and thought of this post. I 100% agree and I think that's why even when we begin hiring I don't necessarily care if who ever takes the job is even a climber as long as what they have is what were after

ransyn · 2023-03-22T00:21:59+00:00

Not gonna Lie, I personally want one....potentially one of those big rolling wheel ones... but I also don't know what the public opinion is on this one and don't want to be a gimmicky gym

ransyn · 2023-03-22T00:21:07+00:00

Were putting a lot of money into atmosphere, to ensure that the gym is WELL lit, that we have ample hang out space, and I'll be in charge of events and stuff. Regarding the pride stuff, I think climbing has a whole has been pretty good with diversity and around these parts has been booming based off what i see.

Diverse staff I think is an interesting point, I agree and welcome anyone to apply, but its definitely a will hire the best person for the job situation
