  • Everyone I know is saying it too.

    What really stuck out was Putin withdrawing / moving equipment and people, at the same time he’s withdrawing from the nuclear test treaty, all while theyre in a “stalemate” with the Ukraine. I know it’s a testing treaty that even America was never in, but something seems fishy, and no one seems to really be talking about it.

    Isreals war is pretty obvious on its face, (You see who’s throwing punches at whom, in the news) but if Russia nukes Ukraine, it’s going to be a whole other animal.

    Did this on a bus once. My college roommate and I went to London for spring break. We randomly got on the bus to see what the suburbs were like. We only planned on staying on for an hour or so, but fell asleep and 3 hours later ended up at the end of the line in who knows where.

    Thankfully there was one last bus that was headed back to Central London, or we would have been screwed. Of course it was express, so it only took 45 mins to get back.

    Pretty sure they did us a favor.






  • I suppose, I was referring to places like a driveway or the yard.

    After the rash of shootings where people were being shot at for parking at the end of a driveway or ringing the doorbell, all the gun fanatics started thinking they could shoot people indiscriminately, just for being on the property.

    Around here, it seems like they never got the memo that, thats not the way it works. I have neighbors here in texas posting on nextdoor about how they’ve got guns and anyone who opens the gate to the yard or is going door to door, ignoring the no soliciting sign, is gonna get bullet in the bunghole*.

    *yes, a bunghole is a part of a wine barrel, or whatever, and not someone’s rear.




  • This.

    You get some gear. It’s nice, but heavy…then you realize there’s so much lighter stuff out there.

    $100/lbs later your congratulating yourself that your base weight is 15lbs until you add food and water, and you realize that your pack still is too heavy. You finally shave off another 2 lbs by buying all new luxury items at $30-$50 a pop, and getting a lighter stove.

    Then winter comes, and that 4 season, dyneema tent looks mighty appealing. Not to mention you need a better rated sleeping bag (cause that hammock ain’t gonna cut it) and a pad, a better puffy and fleece, crampons, maybe an ice pick, and another stove that works in the cold…

    Edit. Damn it, I forgot I need new shoes…even if I wanted to brave it using my summer pair, those trail running shoes are destroyed over the course of 1 season.




  • Yeah. I mean, I figured out it was considered bad with the whole lizzy thing. Idk.

    Mostly, it was the fact that I couldnt decide what to do in certain situations. So like, I’d open my mouth to talk, but then decide not to say anything and no words would come out, so it looked like weird, jerky movements. If I was really angry, I would be shaking. Stuff like that. I mean, it’s not like the description wasn’t semi accurate, I just didn’t have the disability that went with it.
