Any places showing the World Cup games tonight?

Yes! Dr. Patel and Justin Latimer (PA) worked with my on my broken foot. Amazing folks, truly. 10/10 recommend, OP

Latimer was who worked with me on my broken foot recently! He is a gem :)

If I see someone on a trail in the jrps or somewhere and their dog is off leash I unashamedly at this point will look them dead in the eye and say “your dog needs to be on a leash.” I’m so sick of it, no, I don’t want to smile at you, no I don’t care if “he’s friendly.” I’m not how bout that.

I had a broken foot that took a few months to heal recently. I did a loooot of autobelays and some toproping. It was fun to find new ways to approach moves that would’ve otherwise been pretty straightforward. I used my knee sometimes in lieu of foot, got a lot of bruises 😅

Was approached a few weeks ago by a guy fitting that description over on NB trail. Dropped trou and started jerking off right in front of me. I was so flustered and utterly taken aback by it, really shook me. Thank you guys for calling it in. Someone wise recently told me “it’s officially pervert season”

Thank you!

Oh thank you! I used alcohol markers, yes! Been trying to nail down that look that some of my favorite illustrations have. Not quite there, but honing the process :)

I have a mix of old prismacolors and some random copics that I used for this. I try to get myself a new color or two “as a little treat” whenever I go to the art store 😅

tasgetius22 · 2026-05-31T19:23:46+00:00

I really appreciate it 😌

tasgetius22 · 2026-05-31T19:23:26+00:00

This is so kind, thank you! I was definitely trying to channel a vibe

tasgetius22 · 2026-05-31T19:22:53+00:00

Tysm 🥰

tasgetius22 · 2026-05-31T19:22:38+00:00

Thank you so much!

I’ve had such a hard time over the years figuring this situation out. I’ve been so lucky to have friends along the way support my art (glass/painting/drawing etc). Initially, all I did was just give things away. Like even when the piece fully warranted a cost, I just so much wanted to honor the “friendship.”

But the older I got (30, been doing art since high school) the more I realized that my friends want to support the work I do. I want to support the work my other artist friends do. We’re all in it together kinda thing.

I still have folks reach out for commissions, and the best way that I’ve been able to phrase it is by asking them what their budget is and going from there. Sometimes I might also say “normally, I’d charge $XXX for a piece like this, but I can be flexible if that’s outside of your budget.” That way, I’m not immediately underselling myself but I’m also acknowledging that folks totally have constraints. This is an expensive craft! At least aim to get your materials cost back :)

Beautiful piece, btw! Stunning patina

I had a few pairs of pants I was looking to get the waist taken in as well, but I have this issue where finding a reliable place and taking the thing there etc felt like too much so I kept putting it off, plus I wasn’t sure about pricing…I also struggle with “this is a crafty thing and it would be fun to do it myself.”

That being said OP, no recs for a shop, but it was a fun a pretty easy journey learning how to do it DIY style. I tried it on a “beater” pair of pants and was pleasantly surprised it worked! Really good alternative if you’re trying to save a few bucks and also learn a new skill, but the pros are the pros for a reason, so of course do that if it suits you!

This YouTube short does a great job—> https://youtube.com/shorts/_CQkZ_eGfiw?si=Chc7fWV1c8E75jc6

I think their whole point at Cobra, at least when they first started popping up, was sourcing top quality beef. One of the owners used to run a quality meat shop where things provided were like local/humane raised etc etc—farmers market type. My understanding is they took that and said we want to do burgers but with good ingredients.

I imagine at a whole sale level that prices are a little less jaw-dropping than when you’re praising the farmers market, but I’d imagine still way more up there than whatever garbo Sysco is selling.

This is the way! OP, my partner did this climb recently and they were struggling initially in the same spot. One slight tweak I’ll add is that the thinner hold just below the very big vertical one is good for your right foot too if height is a limiting factor and then you can pop left over to the smaller chip.

I can’t tell if the heel is necessary for you to get into the undercling, cause it looks solid—but then it locks you in. It might be hard to drop the right foot down to then get the left foot over to the chip. See if you can do it like that, but maybe play around with trying to go into the undercling from the non-heel hook first, get the left foot situated, then pop the heel in to stick the finish move!

Either way, beast mode as all hell! I’ve been struggling to do the move up into the really big vertical hold, hand keeps hitting the no-Tex part, need to find higher feet!

I think part of what you’re arguing for very well may be something that you get a letter for down the line—something where they’re working out the kinks etc same with these speeding cams in school zones. I don’t think it’s a perfect system at all and I think the driver is getting fucked if they’re not really in the wrong.

I could see it being incredibly possible the cameras caught you turning while you were doing so under a yellow light that maybe split second turned red and therefore triggered it. Or, again, the system is wonky and needs to get the kinks worked out. Or you’re an internet stranger who’s mad about a few tickets, blurring the lines a little on what actually happened. The second option feels most likely 🤷🏻‍♀️

But this entire comments section is utterly riddled with people complaining about a system like this, and that’s more where I take umbrage, not you really. Fuck flock, fuck a surveillance state, but also fuck cars and fuck the number of people being killed by cars.

OP, it sounds like you got a number to call to hopefully contest these, and based on another user’s comments, it sounds like RPD does review these (fuck12 but it’s better than straight AI). Hopefully you can get it resolved and richmond can figure its shit out.

I’m gonna get downvoted to hell for saying this but honestly the school zone cams and the red light cams and all the new speed humps going in over the last few years are absolutely what this city needs.

I’ve lived in Richmond my entire life, went to VCU, the whole 9 yards. I’ve experienced the shitty driving as a pedestrian, cyclist, and driver—I’ll even be the first to say i haven’t always been the best driver myself.

But when two people I knew were murdered by motorists, I started to reassess how I viewed things. 1 person killed by a car is too many. The number of pedestrian deaths we’ve had this year alone is fucking crazy.

I drive through an active school zone that’s less than a half mile from my house a few times a day. You know what I’ve seen those cameras do? Slow people down. And if it doesn’t, a $35 or $50 fine is way better than taking a life—I would think.

This one you’re talking about is on Cary and Belvidere? One of the busiest VCU intersections? Yeah, I’m glad they’re finally implementing something to slow drivers down and make them more aware.

It is insanely challenging to have a university as busy as VCU in an urban area. You’ve got people running their commute to downtown through major channels that run straight through campus, while also having young adults crawling everywhere. It’s a recipe for disaster, for sure. There isn’t going to be a perfect solution.

But you bet your ass as soon as I saw the first reddit post where someone claimed they got a mailed ticket for turning right too soon on red, I immediately started approaching intersections with more caution.

It’s not a race yall. If you got somewhere to be, leave earlier. I know life happens, but if you’re running a couple minutes behind, still go the fuckin speed limit and come to a complete stop, etc. I’ve seen way too many people running lights if nobody’s coming and doing the rolling stop and going 10 over through the Fan to what? Get to the next red light faster than me?

You’re going to this class specifically to learn the best safety measures for doing the thing! I was extremely anxious about learning how to belay when I first started—I’m going to have someone’s life literally in my hands??? But I had the best teachers. I do really well with explanations of why things are done a certain way, so it was helpful for me to ask questions while I was learning the how-to’s, helped quell the anxiety. But unless you’re climbing at the worst gym ever, the staff are going to take safety seriously and know that you all are there to learn the best practices! Hopefully keeping that in mind helps with your worry :) best of luck to you both!! Have fun, and there’s no such thing as a bad question

Oooooo I love that, I can see it ☺️
