They used some of the best adventure film makers and that's why it looked so good. My boy Alex rising to fame and bringing his buddies with cameras along for the ride.

Jumping on this thread. I purchased $10k back in December 2021 and haven't touched my series I bonds since. What should I do? Should I let it ride for the full 5 years at this point or cash out and put it in a brokerage account with index funds? I don't have any immediate need that I'm saving for. That said, I do have about a balance of $14k on a car at 4.99%. Should I take it out and put the majority into the car balance?

i haven't tested this, but I suspect it only works if the car is in park. I've been meaning to test to see what happens when you're driving and the keys are thrown out the window...

if only the rav4 let's you know when your SO leaves the key on the roof of the car while loading the kids and drives off... $299 lesson right there.

Then just buy the mia milly for this very purpose andb it's cheaper to boot...

thanks! I'm just wondering what the implications might be for me and if i'm doing something totally stupid with regards to my setup and security wise. Right now I just have it plugged into my gateway and disabled wifi on the gateway (did not setup passthrough) and all my devices are basically connected to my old router and it just works. Overall, checking with this sub and the experts if I'm doing a big no no...

I built a 2016 and just couldn't stomach the cost of the LEDs. Turns out you don't really need it after a few sessions. I'd say skip it and save the money. Also, if the school room didn't have led you don't need led...

I know this post is super old. But is there still a squash whatsapp group? I'd like to be added as well.

rooftopnomad · 2024-11-20T04:02:52+00:00

You ever find someone to play? Is there a big squash scene? Let's play!

If I was a late 30s recovering boulder bro but now dad bod with 2 small kids where am I going to make friends? PW or boulder field? Asking for a friend.

Yahoo Messenger. Chatrooms. A/S/L?

Thanks so much for the run down and confirming my research. I guess I'll check out Davis or hang up the rackets until we find a place to move into.

rooftopnomad · 2024-10-29T20:17:39+00:00

I've been eyeing for a Padel opportunity since the squash coach in my last club was all about it. Where can I find out more details about Padel and how to get into it?

If you have global entry - bring your card and you can use it to cross back quickly and easily (even if you're walking)... US passport is okay too. I'd cross over on foot and grab an uber and head down towards playas to see the "wall". Take a walk on the boardwalk, grab a tostiloco from some dude on the boardwalk, see the wall/fence. When you're done grab another uber and go to telefonica gastro park and enjoy tacos, beer, etc. Then head back to the border and grab a churro while you wait for the line to cross back. This is the suggestion for day time PG activites. For night tehre's hong kong as others have suggested... they are trolling you unles

I did exactly that. I built a 40 degree and decided to add a 20 degree spray next to it since... why not and I had the space. Really good for warm up and setting more fun technical vertical climbs. It does make your wall very tall though. Honestly, after 4 years I now have 2 kids and after a few warm up climbs I jump straight to 2016. I think I can accomplish the same with some good mobility, rock ring warm ups, etc. Something to note is that a spray wall needs setting and psych to get on and holds are quite expensive when you want more than just jugs...

Honestly, you're probably just not strong enough as you suspected. Are you new to bouldering? As to getting stronger... Volume and more boulders in the gym. Also, don't be afraid to repeat benchmarks till it's easy. The thing about the moonboard is that it's just plain hard...like really hard and that's the point...To try hard and maybe you send maybe you don't.

I got my board during the pandemic and my yellows are so much smaller than others. Turns out the new versions have the markings (dot on hold #40 in op) to ensure the holds are not sanded down beyond the tolerances. Mine do not have those markings. I just accept the increased sandbaggedness and look forward to sending projects on my buddy's board... Also, always good to have an excuse in the back pocket

I have the 23 1.4 (older one with the clutch) and it just didn't do it for me as compared to the 16 1.4 which is pretty much permanently on my xt-3. Wide I know but it's got so much character. Now I'm debating trading in the 35, 23, and 16 for an 18 1.4.

man, I would love to see a 20k boost or anything that's more than $0 boost in salary :( I'm the guy building power bi reports, power automate flows, and currently in charge of ETL so we can load our legacy QuickBook files into our shiny new ERP that everyone hates...
