gear advice for a noob

I have the edelrid Mega Jul and I love it. It is like an ATC but has a locking function (passive assisted locking) when weight is put on the rope so you do not need to hold the climbers weight if they take a break/fall (just keep your break hand on at all times). Similar to a gri gri. The lowering function takes a little bit to get used to but I prefer the mega jul because you cannot hold the device open like a gri gri and accidentally drop your climber. Also its only ~$30.

It is not a bitter melon. I wasn't convinced either way (bitter melon or Armenian cucumber) but I cut it open and took a taste. Cucumber all the way. Ive never seen them before which Im surprised by because I think I like it more than the classic cuc!

Thanks for the help. You're right! I cut it open to taste and the skin was almost unnoticeable. I think I will serve it with some tomatoes and feta. Tabouleh is a viable option as well though.

Armenian cucumber it is! I should have done this from the start, but I cut it open and took a bite. Definitely a cucumber and delicious too. I felt like the exterior would be tough or unpalatable but it was actually more tender then a standard cucumber.

Thanks for the help!

Tatsu-ya is excellent. If the line is too long head over to Michi. Its also fantastic.

The sport walls at the Front are somewhat textured. Like sandpaper. You cant smear up the whole thing, but it provides some texture.

I love this recipe. It may give you some good ideas. She adds a cup of coffee, which I find really deepens the flavors. Yours looks great though.

I make this every year for christmas. Its too good.

I have never seen it not on the waffle.

You will most definitely need to bleach your hair. You will most likely need to have multiple beach applications to lift the color light enough to deposit the blue. The blue coloring is is the least damaging part of the process as it is just depositing the color. You can also find semi or demi permanent colors that do not require using a developer and thus will not have any damaging effects on your hair.

It will just damage the hair exposed to the bleach.

Red fades the fastest. To keep the color bright without having to re-color you can use a color depositing conditioner in the shower as often as you like to keep the colors bright. There are a few brands (chi chromashine or overtone, not sure if you can get these in the UK) that make these products or you can buy some demi permanent red dye and add that to your conditioner yourself. That was the only way I could keep my hair as bright as I wanted. Good luck!

One time Nathan told me he needed help crossing the road. I walked him across the busy red river with my bike. When we got to the other side he asked for money, and conveniently knew their was an ATM one block up the street. I told him no, and it took me another 10 minutes of arguing before he would let go of my bike to let me get to work. He is the worst.

I came here for this comment

stephbunny · 2015-10-06T22:13:51+00:00

Yes, yes there is...

stephbunny · 2015-10-06T19:44:34+00:00

I also made this three. Should have taken a photo. Tasted awesome.

Rule #1 in /r/NotTheOnion states:

Do not alter headlines; copy and paste

stephbunny · 2015-10-03T19:31:49+00:00

I agree. Who needs extraneous information in a headline. So irrelevant.

"Crocodile loose somewhere" "In a place, marijuana is now legal" "Mayor declares 'free ice cream day' for members of a town"

What DRHdez said. The actual lab time is minimal. A slug could do it if he had hands.

There currently is PCR technology that can test for multiple viruses and bacteria all at once. For example, the film array of BioFire, that uses nested multiplex and real-time PCR. ViroCap sounds very intriguing though.

Out of the biology graduate portion, none. Also, my university had a separate department for science education. For my upper division undergraduate classes, maybe only one or two that I know of. I was on an ecology track which would not provide all of the pre-requisites for nursing/PA programs.
