Haha, it’s a bit of an obsession…

I’m a big fan of this one: https://www.mountain-forecast.com/ it does mountains, not trails. Just type the name of the mountain and it will give tons of detail.

Also, my personal favorite 2 day hike in the pnw is Old Snowy mountain in the Goat Rocks Wilderness

(Also a good example to test)

I’m not sure, but I think part of the problem is that the votes are “real”. Since every instance has to have the same number of up/down votes they can’t get away with fudging the numbers. I have no hard evidence that reddit does, but I suspect they do to increase engagement.

Ha, yeah, that sounds… Not great. Starting April 8!

Thanks! I’ve had some pretty nasty water before, but it sounds like the CDT is gonna take that to another level. Is it weird to be excited about gross water?

The orange thing is my sleeping pad. I prefer a foam mat to to a blowup pad.

And totally understandable question! I’m bringing a sawyer squeeze water filter. It connects to the top of a squeezable bag or a smart water bottle if your bag breaks.

The Continental Divide Trail. 3000 miles along the rocky mountains from Mexico to Canada. I’ve been getting the money together and looking forward to this for the last two years!

Thanks! I’d love to claim it’s skill, but it’s roughly 100% luck

Do it! We could do with some more posts around here!

This is right off the Green Tunnel, though I can’t recall the exact spot. I think it’s just after the Long Trail veers away from the AT.

It’s hard to have this argument without coming across as advocating for eugenics, but I completely agree. The fact that increasing women’s education is so strongly correlated with decreased population growth is not a coincidence.

The difference between a eugenicists and whatever the hell I am is that I think the solution is to educate more people, not to control their right to reproduce.

This is Little Crazy Horse Canyon very close to Goblin Valley State Park. This, along with the park, is one of my absolute favorite places in Utah, and when not flooded is a very easy and safe hike.

In order to not contribute to some idiot killing themselves I would like to make very clear, this canyon was flooded not flooding. If there is any risk of rain, please please, please, do not go into a slot canyon. A cool experience is not worth dying for. (Though it would be a cool way to die…)

This pic is from a year ago but I was actually up there last week. It’s a fantastic area, if a bit chilly in December…

Did my thru in 2022, I think this would have been September, but just found this community so figured I’d start adding some photos

Brother is my current second favorite major brand. They are breaking a lot more than they used to and the parts that break aren’t worth replacing. Canon is putting out alright printers that seem a bit more robust to me. But honestly if you just put in the money up front even hp isn’t total trash. To get a not trash hp will cost $400, and there’s no guarantee that it won’t get a firmware update that makes it impossible to use third party ink, but it won’t require hpsmart and make you want to kill yourself. So yeah, spend more on your printer, don’t get an hp, and if you’re not gonna spend more on your printer get a black and white laser Canon imo.

Actually you meant compliance, security has other random stuff. /s

If this was about data collection on users I’d agree, but the UK government is saying “remove encryption on private messages”. That only increases the ability to harvest data

I’ve seen a ton of people saying the new season is bad and I just want to put out there that I think it’s pretty good.

I don’t think bender is hitting the mark like he did in the first couple seasons, but the other characters are doing great. And let’s be honest, bender has been overused for a long time. I think people have built up Futurama to some god-like show that never had a dud joke, but half of them have always missed the mark and the other half have always been amazing. I don’t think this season or this episode are any different.

The first episode made fun of their new network which I saw a lot of complaining over, but it’s what they’ve done for the first episode of every reboot.

The second episode was pretty good (though I think the weakest of the three).

This episode was filled with clevar jokes. The premise alone was great, their excuse for why this was happening was hysterical, and the interactions felt right - like it hadn’t been 10 years since they were together.

Though I would watch one that was a contest between surgeons. I imagine it’d start pretty tame, but the first time a girl with cat ears wins, were only like 5 years from the really crazy shit

You could also just install Firefox on your Android. That may not work in the future, but it will continue to work for now
