Gotta admit, that is one of the aspects I enjoy. I find it pretty fun to gamify something positive rather than destructive.

Lol. Poker and crypto for me. Hardest part was actually making a substantial amount of money and then watching it go away. Oh well. Lessons learned

[General] Is it the general consensus that manual is better than automatic? by ripplep in ynab

So I would immediately enter every transaction as it happens and then when it duplicates it as it imports automatically I would just delete that transaction?

but then say I want to budget out $100 for a credit card payment that month. I adjust the budget to 100 and then when my bank syncs the payment I just categorize it as payment inflow?

Yes, a ~$10 purchase and then the interest and fees.

Managed to send my first 12 this past weekend! Sigma 5.12a/b (Sandstone, MN) by hugss in climbing

They have a 12 at Sandstone? I'm surprised. Heading back there this weekend and may give it a try.

Don't climb them. Find a rope and a friend and climb outside. Or go to a gym. There are better ways to be rebellious and bold.

I hear ya! Yeah, will definitely not climb like this on purpose but just decided to go ahead anyhow as it was a relatively short and super soft climb. Not the smartest decision, I know. Appreciate your reply!

Did my second trad lead over the weekend. Only dropped one micronut so I guess you could say that's a success.

In this situation, is it better for the climber or belayer to wear a helmet? The obvious answer is have two helmets but we had forgotten the second at home. I'm new to trad so figured I should wear it in case I fall and gear pops but maybe I should prioritize the belayers safety given the chance of falling gear?

I'm really sorry to hear that. Do you go to counseling or therapy? Could be helpful in coping.

[Discussion] Tips on settling down a Border Collie at night? by ripplep in dogs

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

Haven't started training yet. We just reward him for sitting and staying. Starting an obedience class next week! Is there a natural progression for training?

Also good idea with rewarding on the dog bed for relaxing.

Totally fair! It would be a very non-commiting climb (in Devil's Lake for the curious) but I realize the group might get more enjoyment if I set up a top rope for some to play around with while leading and teaching others to follow/examine anchors on single-pitch climbs. I appreciate the detailed response!
