Yeah I guess many skilled sports have some unique slang for a beginner or someone with no clue. Grom is another weird one for surf/skate.

100% of people who say shit like this in reference to Norway don't know that Norway isn't a member of the EU.

You'll have a second kimchi awakening when you switch to home made :)

I've never seen store bought that can compare, barring actually being in Korea.

Funny you should say, I recently began making my own ice cream. And it's also full-on blackberry season. It's all coming together...

For weight, they forgot to add: if it's for advertising a price, it's in $/lbs (though you will be charged in $/kg). The butcher knows damn well that steaks advertised at $15/lbs sell better than steaks at $33/kg.

Ohh I've been stumbling across these on my walks lately. Always a nice treat, 99% of what I see is thimble berries and blackberries. Love the black raspberries. I harvested some seeds to try to cultivate for next year, though I suppose trying to bring home cuttings might be easier.

It’s a friendly transaction between users purely out of the desire to help, and leaving it available to those who have the same question.

Further, it's a transaction that Reddit facilitated out of their own pocket. I think people are being extremely petty about it. It's best to just mourn and move on, we can still appreciate the golden years that Reddit gave us.

I agree, it seems very petty to me. If you don't like the direction just leave, what's the point of trying to burn it down? Especially given how much we all got out of it throughout the golden years. I say just mourn and move on.

This is just a rant about personal frustrations. I even probably agree with him on most of these things, but I don't think we need to share this kind of thing here. So tired of threads about how much we all hate and disagree with each other's languages. It's better if the rust people get rust and the go people get go. There is no one holy grail of a language that everyone is going to like.

I do not think it's fair to assume that everyone came to lemmy for the same reasons as you. I for one came because I didn't like the decisions they were making, not because I had any strong feelings about the ethics of those decisions.

Yeah, no offense to the admins who I'm sure are just trying to do their users right, but stuff like this is making me see the value of running my own instance, or at perhaps finding a more hands-off one. It's weird to me that instance admins (or popular votes) make the decisions about what content I get to have access to.

I guess browser extension would be well suited to add account-switching/aggregating. Likewise mobile apps.

Not trying to insert my own opinion but I believe it's because the core Lemmy devs actually admin and/or are involved in said instance. Well verify for yourself but somebody said it's hosted from the same IP as lemmy.ml. And the core devs comment and moderation histories are public for all to see.

You pointed out all the extra complexities. Visiting multiple websites, and making a decision, and understanding what the decision means. Those are the complexities, nobody is saying they are big but even you recognize they exist.

Mainstream is also what killed Reddit, better to have a "big enough to be good" community. I almost appreciate that the barrier of entry is slightly higher.

This seems like exactly the sort of rule that should be applied at the community level. Instance level rules should be kept as minimal as possible.

I agree with you. Golang is a useful symbol for things like a community ID, but the human readable name is "Go Programming Language".

Most friction will be from the sides of the blade rubbing against the kerf. I believe it's just about concentrating force onto those teeth (which are essentially knives on crosscut saws, alongside chip clearing teeth).

This way the weight of the saw and therefore the cutting force will always be concentrated on a small number if teeth, which are able to slice deeper thanks to the extra force. Remember that when crosscutting you need to slice wood fibers. Rather than shear them as you do when ripping.

Thanks. To clarify, my server would have to do this? I don't run my own server, I just joined a fairly small one (I didn't know it would matter).

If I were implementing this nefarious Reddit I probably wouldn't have edits wipe out the original data. It's certainly not necessary to implement edits that way.

I'd probably chuck them into the drill press and take a rasp to them. You could get it consistent by using a consistent technique, and checking them against a gauge (e.g. cut a profile in a piece of cardboard).

As for 1. I'm told they're getting rid of websockets in the next release, which should mean this annoying behavior goes away as well.

Well at your level you just need to be learning movements naturally. I.e. keep going climbing. Climb as often as you can while still recovering properly between sessions. My advice for learning basic technique is to watch better climbers climb, ask them to show you how THEY do a boulder that's at the top end of your ability, and try to mimic them. Work on making your V2s feel effortless. Don't just move on and forget a boulder after you top it the first time.

When you DO finish a V3 you're going to be sitting at that grade for probably a lot longer than you sat at V2s, and longer still when you're at V4, so... uh... get used to that is my advice. How quickly you can progress depends a lot on your body composition coming into the sport as well as how often you train (with proper recovery). Stop focusing so much on reaching the next grade, start practicing the basics, and the grades will come naturally. You MIGHT be able to get away with sending the odd juggy V3, but you're never getting anywhere without basic technique, which only comes from a lots of practice.

Edit -- by the way. Usually when people talk about plateauing at a grade... they mean they've been stuck there for years, not weeks. Yes, beginner gains are much faster but a few weeks is nothing, your body is just starting to think about maybe making muscle and tendon adaptations for climbing... with the all-important tendons being much slower to adapt than muscles.

Holy shit, that's terrifying. Caught at really the last possible moment.

By the way, I like this follow-along routine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PebF3NyEGPc

There's tons of resources on YouTube discussing it, check out Hooper's Beta and Lattice videos on the subject.

My condensed takeaway for you would be something like: absolutely DO start hangboarding, but take it easy to start and build slowly rather than trying for big gains from day one.

Warm up gently, and when you're getting started, don't go past what feels like 80% max. Build to 100% over several sessions and only then start pushing your max. Personally I've been training about as long as you and I do hangboard, but I have already given myself a minor injury (lumbrical sprain) by going too hard in a relatively untrained grip (3 finger drag) without sufficient warmup.

Another thing you hear is to do your max hang sessions when you're fresh, and start out with relatively few sessions per week -- maybe 2 sessions, on days that you're feeling good, BEFORE you hit the climbing gym.

I'd imagine your best bet is reading through the w3c spec if you want protocol details. I think reading it directly is probably approachable enough for a CS student and should be a good exercise.

Yeah I find it a bit annoying, maybe a browser extension which adds a link to "view in home instance" is the way to go in the meantime. Seems like it would be really easy to do. 🤔

My takeaway was that it CAN happen under pathological conditions (rope in compromised position, and you're standing directly under your climber, rather than it's something to worry about... Like, if you consistently abuse the GriGri, then the 0.1% chance of failure may eventually get you after 100s of abuses. But for the 0.01% of the time that you get knocked out by a rock, the odds of hitting that 0.1% chance of failure are astronomically low. And probably 0 if you were standing back appropriately and don't have the rope sitting a crazy way.

I'm certainly not the best person to answer, but since this is a fledgling community, I'll just say that it looks super good enough to me.

Are you saying I can subscribe to this community without negatively affecting my blood pressure? I'm slightly skeptical but I'll give it a try.

It was rough watching Hannah's last boulder in the semifinals. You could see the panic set in when she realized she wasn't going to top it, especially after coming very close in the first attempt... and knowing she needed it. Wish her luck in the next comp.

Such a strong field in Women's this year. Despite Janja, Oriane, Brooke, Miho, and more not competing in this one it was still super tough to make finals. I'll never bet against Janja but I wonder if we're reaching the end of her reign as the automatic winner of every comp she enters.

For what it's worth, i just used the "add to Home Screen" feature on my phone's web browser (from my instance homepage) and it's working great. Indistinguishable from a normal "app" experience. In my case Safari on iOS but i doubt it matters.

Edit: looks like this:

Thanks. I'm not sure that's exactly what I'm imagining, because this still involves hard-coding an instance to the link. People from many different instances might be viewing the link, so I'd imagine a flow like: when you mouse-hover a link to a community, a little popup appears which provides a custom link based on your home instance. So whether !fediverse@lemmy.ml is a link to the lemmy.ml or lemmy.ca domain wouldn't matter, ideally you'd always get the option of viewing the community from your home instance at a single click. Hope that makes sense, today is my first day after all.

My big question is why can't we have auto-generated links to the appropriate lemmy.ca page for communities on remote instances. It seems odd that following links to communities takes you to the host instance when you generally speaking you won't be logged in there. Hopefully this feature will come in the future (or maybe it already exists but I haven't found it)

Vancouver Island here. Happy to see a woodworking community getting going here already, and hoping to see a bigger rock climbing community on lemmy in the future. Thanks for hosting!

I believe the idea is that there will be one main established hockey community, and you wouldn't need to create another on another instance (unless you're unhappy with the "main" one). So if lemmy.ca hosts the hockey community, users from other instances would just use it directly. For example the main lemmy woodworking and hockey communities both appear to be hosted right here on lemmy.ca.
