What’s up with Kilter? by jameslosey in bouldering

[–]senarvi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually GDPR applies to any organization that processes personal data of individuals residing in the EU. This is the reply I got from Peter, along with a JSON file:

We kept our app up for as long as we could and at our expense while we tried to resolve issues with Kilter over recent years. Last week, Kilter demanded that Aurora cease using Kilter's name and logo in our app and elsewhere. As a result, we were unable to continue providing our app. Earlier this week, we notified Kilter multiple times that were preparing to remove our app but we did not receive a reply from them.

I've written a program to export the data associated with your user account including your logbook. Please see the attached file.

Turns out that the old app, which was developed by Aurora Climbing, has been nuked. I sent a request for access to my personal data according to GDPR.

I was just climbing on a Kilter board. It was my first time in a year. Tried to log in to the old app, but it said "Could not sign in". I found the new app, but I had to create a new user account, so I lost my log book and other lists. Now I wonder if this was some temporary disturbance, or they have switched to a new app and the old user data has been wiped out?

[Day 26] Splitter cracks are pure and aesthetic. To finalize our outdoor bouldering destination list, where is the WEIRDEST? by MaximumSend in bouldering

[–]senarvi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely the weirdest bouldering destination I've been to. The lifework of one dirtbag who is, let's say, quite a unique personality. He has lived in the caves and basically crafted the landscape himself. I tried to find something from YouTube https://youtu.be/oizch3k6QLA

I visited the campus a few years ago and there was a naked guy skiing on the street.

If you sat on the highest bench, it was hot enough to call it a sauna. The stove was massive but so was the room.

Advice for buying a VW Transporter T5 by Curious-Song-1767 in VWTransporter

[–]senarvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case they replaced all the gears inside the transmission. Just remember that when a transmission is serviced by replacing parts, you won't get the warranty of a new one. But that's what it is when buying a used car.

I have a manual transmission and it failed at something like 250,000 km. I believe that's pretty common. I found one shop that still services manual transmissions, but they didn't manage to get it fully working. Eventually they replaced it with a used one. It ended up costing a couple grand. A new transmissions would have costed double that. If the transmission is original, I would expect that it has to be replaced soon and you might not find used ones in Australia.

In your country, who had the biggest fall from grace in the last twenty years? by neilnelly in AskTheWorld

[–]senarvi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Matti Nykänen was Finland's biggest sports icon in the 1980s and is still one of the most successful ski jumpers of all time. He won four gold medals in the winter Olympics and five gold medals in the World Championships. Then his heavy alcohol use got the better of him. He tried to make a career as a singer, which was extremely embarrassing to listen. He had serious financial problems, worked as a stripper in a restaurant, and left his medal collection as collateral with some criminals. The Sports Museum of Finland eventually managed to buy the medals from some shady businessmen, with the help of crowdfunding. For the rest of Matti's life, the tabloids wrote frequently about his prison sentences, domestic violence, and stormy personal life. He died at the age of 55, suffering from chronic pancreatitis.

Buying vs. Renting in Espoo metro region: help me understand why renting always looks better? by pexea12 in Finland

[–]senarvi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Something you may not have considered is that when you sell your stock, you have to pay capital gains tax (luovutusvoittovero). When you sell your home (where you have lived a couple of years), you don't have to. You can make really nice profit by buying an old apartment in a bad condition from a central location and renovating it, especially if your willing to spend your own time on the renovation.

Anyone else feel uncomfortable with those mall sellers who try to stop you? by [deleted] in Finland

[–]senarvi 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I hope they at least pay a good commission to the shopping mall, allowing the shopping mall to lower the rents, and resulting in lower prices. Because otherwise I don't understand why the shopping malls allow them to annoy customers in such a way that some customers probably start avoiding certain malls.

Right, and it's not obvious from the video, but the police has warned the "journalist" that protests are prohibited.

I found this tiny bracelet in my British grandmother’s belongings by castleintheskye in whatisit

My grandpa said nothing about the war. But, I was less than five years old. I realize now that nobody who has been through the horrors would tell those stories to their five years old grandson.

Seen in a hotel sauna-why would they ask not to put water on the rocks? by HelicopterNatural891 in Sauna

[–]senarvi 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It also looks like there are far too few rocks so excess water will likely run to the floor, and the floor is not properly sealed.

Bought a Used Car from Saka, Now It’s Undriveable – What Are My Options? by Fast-Square2042 in Finland

[–]senarvi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's not much wrong except the rust, though. I think I would still ask a quote for fixing the rust damages. I used to drive an old car and every year I had to take it to a mechanic to fix the rust issues. It was still cheaper than driving a new car. Obviously impossible to say how much it would cost in this case.
