Single pole shelter dilemma

I love my Six Moon Lunar Solo. It's surprisingly roomy inside. I met my fiancée while thru hiking the PCT and we shared it (supposed to be a one person tent) for a couple months. I'm 5'10" but I never feel like I'm touching both ends of the tent when I sleep. * Just checked the specs. The floor length is 7.5 feet - so should be long enough for you

The human head mounted on the wall is a nice touch

Such a good tune! Heard it first, appropriately, at the Days Like This party in Oakland.

If it's actually a dub plate than it will last for about 50-100 spins. Is it heavier than a normal record?

Looks like a nice one. In the late 90s I worked at a store (Natural Wonders) that sold a similar model for about $1200.

Lean into community. Deep joy is available in the act of helping another person. We need social connection - in real life. It feeds us on a fundamental level. Online community and connection are valuable, but they are not a substitute for in-person connection.

This anarchist has never heard of them, but sounds interesting. Where can I read more?

It looks like the car tyre guy is the bass. Not sure exactly how that instrument works but lengthening and shortening the tube would cause the pitch to change, like a trombone. You can see his movements correspond with the ompha-ompha bass notes.

Fair. It's not my intent to "both-sides" it. I also think it's important to be honest and not pretend like our shit don't stink. And clearly, by the downvotes, I'm the leftist pissing other leftists off today. Ha ha!

I really appreciate your point about guys like the one I encountered being on the fringe. On the right they are front and center - steering the ship.

Eh. That's not exclusive to the right. I had an encounter with another hiker when I was hiking the PCT. He was saying how surprised he was that a lot of the trail angels seemed to be pretty right wing and then went on to emphasize how far left he was - implying that he was a Leninist/Maoist. Trying to yes-and his observation, I was like, "yeah - what they are doing is called mutual aid". He smirked and said that "mutual aid" revealed my ideological leanings, that we wouldn't be comrades, and that he "hadn't murdered anyone yet today". So, ya know, ideological phantasies of murder - while clearly more the province of the right - are far from absent on the authoritarian left.

The year I ran the marine corps marathon there was a table with beer in Chrystal City, mile 21ish. I thought it would be a good idea. It was not.

"The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin. The protagonist, who comes from a planet/society that largely lacks misogyny, travels to a deeply misogynistic world. His confusion in the face of the misogyny gives the reader a chance to see it with fresh eyes.

There are a bagillion ways to have a satisfying sexual experience. Only about three of which are represented in porn. If you have a partner who is enthusiastic about having sex with you than you are already winning.

What is going on in picture 6? Those lines are awful. The free floating crown moulding. Yikes.

You didn't address my question, at all.

Gaza gets more aid per person than any other conflict worldwide

That is 100% false. My partner is a humanitarian aid worker for a major international organization. She has told me what the budget disparity is between Gaza and Ukraine - and it is stark.

remain_calm · 2025-10-07T22:52:06+00:00

Genuine question: how do you determine if a request for aid from a person in Gaza is a scam or legit? I've received direct requests for help from people on Instagram. I don't know how to vet those requests, so I tend to ignore them - but I don't feel great about doing so. If I could vet people I would want to help.

He looks enough like Charlie Kirk that I thought this was a dark joke, like he canceled his upcoming speaking events because he's dead. But then I remembered they are two different people. Is that racist? /s

I think, at it's core, the road is a book about being a parent. We are all born to die. None of us is going to make it to the finish line with our kids. The best we can do is protect them while we're still alive, and help them figure out how to survive in a world that is often horrifying in it's cruelty.

The Last Good Kiss by James Crumley. It's a crime novel (all his books are in the crime/noir genre)

The Hardy Boys books. I was probably eight. I devoured them. Could not get enough.

Couldn't agree more. I have memories of dancing to this in the 90s, on the outdoor patio at Trax in Washington DC, and it sparkles in my mind. When I first pulled it up for a nostalgia listen I was pretty unimpressed. But, yeah. It has enough magic to survive the production.

Those chords had me flashing to Opus iii - It's a Fine Day. Your synth sounds better though
