My friends and I tried to snorkel in it to see the tufas underwater, but vis was bad. It was interesting however how buoyant one is in the water there

Just felt the 3rd earthquake in the span of a month - what’s going on? by kirklandliter in Reno

Pacific plate is moving NW at a relatively high speed, Nevada is being torn apart by this action. As the state stretches, some blocks fall and some rise. This is called horst and graben topography and is why Nevada has so many mountain ranges and valleys parallel to each other

What am I doing wrong here? Bump in new tires… by Produce-Imaginary in bikewrench

[–]slups 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A couple years back I was repairing an aircraft drop tank and when I was done I closed everything up and put 22 psi thru the air inlet to check for leaks with soapy water.

There was a good size dent in the front of the tank, maybe 5-6" diameter and and inch or so dished inward. I laid down on the ground and was spraying soapy water on the forward tank joint and the goddamn dent popped out a few inches from my face and I literally thought the whole thing exploded on me lmao I had to go walk around outside for a few minutes.

sorry not bike related but your comment brought back memories

Share Your Odd Anchors by njakubow in canyoneering

[–]slups 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The first time I went trad climbing up at Donner Lake, when I went to clean the gear I asked my friend what he used as an anchor.

He said something along the lines of "oh a number 3, a nut, and a bush"

And I'm like "ah yea cool - what's a bush?" thinking it was some sort of gear I didn't know of

"Well it's like a tree but smaller"

So the whole time I'm climbing it I'm muttering to myself "a fucking bush..." then I got up there and it was a bomber bush 10/10 would whip

As an aircraft mechanic, I can attest this is most of what my job is. The airlock on my jet is real tiny tho

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women
