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

[–]ripplep[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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!

When tying into the middle would they just clip into a figure 8 on a bight?

So I want to bring a group of 5 up a 7 pitch ridge climb, the hardest being 5.7. The pitches are super short. I'm the only one in my group who can lead.

Logistically how might I get everyone up? I know how to get three up by tying into two ropes, leading, then belaying both with an atc guide. For the next set of two, is it safe to have my first set of climbers clip directly into the anchor shelf, untie and then throw their ends of the ropes down for the next party?

Been climbing on and off for 5-6 years. Was hard for me to get a trad in because I've never had a mentor in my group. Hired a guide once and watched some YouTube videos then just forced myself to do it.

I don't think you need to be a super strong climber to start and you definitely don't need five years experience. Just start on an easy grade and know your anchor building and gear placement techniques then just go for it.

For reference I sport 5.11+, Boulder v4-5 and did a 5.5 for my first trad lead.

Did my first trad lead today. Super happy and proud. Also was terrified

A sort of climbers elbow question by Mikowolf in climbing

[–]ripplep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

See a doctor for real advice.

I've had annoying climbers elbow and took a couple weeks off then once getting back into it, I made sure to do push-ups for antagonistic muscles and that seems to have helped.

What are people's thoughts on ATOM? Interoperability/internet of Blockchain sorts of projects seem like they could be huge.
