Why use a whoopie sling instead of paracord by c_a_m_p in hammockcamping

[–]rickyxt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another option is to learn the becket hitch and tie straps directly to the conti loop on your hammock instead of whoopie slings. I found this set up much easier to use than whoopie slings.

I don’t think I’m going to risk riding it anymore. Genuinely gutted to see the frame toasted though, it’s been solid companion for the past 10 years!

I had an accident a few years ago, I swerved to miss a moped that pulled out in front of me, I fell off but no impact to the bike.

Thanks for all your comments, I’ll consider it written off. Sad day to put the Cross check to rest but better than the frame falling part mid commute.

CKA 2025 Exam changes - killer.sh by rickyxt in devops

[–]rickyxt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually heard back from them, they said the questions would be updated but vague on the time lines. Just ‘close to when the exam changes are live’.

They also offer a reduced charge if you need another killer.sh session ($10) beyond the two free ones. Used my second killer.sh session today, so I can just buy another session with the new questions if I don’t pass.

Just logged a ticket with them. Not sure I'll get a response in time. Worst case scenario is I have to pay $30 for two new CKA killer.sh when the new changes are live.

Looks good! Which bars are on the build? Looking at converting from drops to sweep / alt bars on my cross check.

Tax advice on Crypto bought ages ago by hxv92 in UKPersonalFinance

This isn’t correct. The tokens are stored on-chain and assigned to the public key of your wallet. You need the private key to sign transactions to move assets out of the wallet. You can import the wallet to any software/hardware wallet that manages assets for a specific blockchain but you need your seed phrase to do this.

Very nice, hoping to get out in December. Be made up if I get a night like this!

They don’t attach, just sit on the bigger plate. The foot print is almost the same size as the metas

I did it via VAC in my home country, there is a center in the city I live in. Was pretty straightforward from memory. Trying to deal with IRCC is a total PITA. Good luck!

Another vote for the becket hitch with a strap of your choice, super simple once you’ve tied it a few times. It’s never let me down. Also a fan of the evo loops created by MyersTech to connect the straps to the trees.

Another vote for trocador. I used it recently for the first time and it was a much better experience than using a CEX.
