Have you guys ever considered a career in conservation? It's a tempting prospect, and I don't really see a reason not to go into it. I feel like I'd enjoy the work, and I've always respected the guys who do it in one way or another--having grown up in a rural part of the Rockies.

I got out in 2022. Did some soils & water gigs for my country, but it paid like shit also. Knew a couple people who ended up surveyors, and one who actually stuck it out in fire and ended up an incident meteorologist, and he's set for life.
I myself ended up with industrial controls and robotics. Make x5 as much and work maybe 1/3 of the hours I did in fire.

I'm interested in learning to surf. Any advice to not have the wave crash down on top of you and be pulled under?

I was wondering about swimming out past the break and just floating around. I'd guess so... But is this hard?

I've been bodyboarding first to get some experience. I also need to lose some weight before I can get myself to pop up

it's much easier to swallow the pill with that perspective. if you're a poorfag it also forces you to actually use the shit you buy many times unlike richfags who buy it, use it once, then store it in the garage forever

who gives a fuck. the only real risk with doing anything like skateboarding as an adult is you can get hurt, even something simple can result in a torn ligament and such. not that it should scare you away, but you gotta keep stuff like that in mind if you aren't already athletic and don't want the risk. much less likely to get hurt surfing, but also more likely to drown or get bitten by a shark. pick your poison. life is full of risks, it's up to you if they're worth it or not. you should however, never give a fuck what people think or base your hobbies around "will I look dumb."

Why does hiking attract so many trust fund kids? I can't tell you how many people i've met on trails that have told me they have no job and have a trust fund instead. I've never been apart of a hobby that had so many occurrences of this.

So they buy a bunch of overpriced gear, go take a hike, do not enjoy the tough parts and go glamping next time.

Yes and no.
No because "people are too poor to go out" is a copout by wannabes and "concerned observers" who use it to explain why there is a "lack of diversity" in outdoorsy circles.
Yes because (speaking from experience) there are people who can't just disappear from work for a month to go on that long hike or that bike tour, who have a shitty rigid schedule that won't let them go /out/ because by the time you're halfway through the distance to an interesting starting point, you have to turn back or you won't make it to the wage cage on monday, and who can't "just quit and travel brah" because what savings they have are for emergencies, not taking a flight to Bali or whatever.

along those lines, when severely disabled children "vanish without a trace", their parents know where they went. It's unfathomable the horror the little child experiences when it occurs, but a parent abandoning their child in the wild... it's not new. It's such a disgusting thing that people don't even let it enter their minds, but it would explain a lot of the very young children disappearances. Very lightweight and diminutive old people without guns; I can easily see cats taking them along with opportunistic bears.

I sent my first 5.11d at the softest crag in the world. Gotta take a screenshot and frame it quick before mountainproject updates the grade...

To me it felt like 5.10d. All the routes on this crag are graded like this. I almost sent a 5.12 here which is laughable since I usually punt on 5.10b.

Kek. While grade inflation is a thing, it's also true that people back then really had no idea how much potential there was with advances in training and gear. On Beacon Rock there's a route that was first aided with spikes driven into the wall because the climbing was considered to be impossible. Today that pitch is graded 5.7.

This crag In climbing at is definitely inflated though yeah

F-105W. The case is shiny from years of wear, and the plastic glass is scratched (it can be polished, but it's not too bad at the moment). It's small, very light and cheap. The display readability is slightly worse than the F91W because of the electroluminescence layer.

The only thing I don't like is the poor water resistance. I sprayed the inside of this with an electronic corrosion inhibitor because my F91W stopped working a day after being soaked in the rain.

Consider use first, aesthetics second, then find something that intersects at a price point you're comfortable with. If you don't find anything in your budget, figure out what you're willing to compromise on.
For an active (sports, /out/, military, rough work) application, I wouldn't worry about the size as much as the features you need/want. You have people with wrists so thin they look like they've been thrown out of Gaza for hunger striking, and they wear ginormous ill-fitting wrist computers like it's the most natural thing in the world. You're definitely not going to be the dumbest looking wristlet at the party just because a DW-5600 or something like it is a little big on you.
