Late night for me last night - LandSAR exercise, bringing a stretcher with a mock patient out from up a river. Out in the dark, lots of river crossings - great fun but a bit late for a school night! Zzzzz

That's them. Nasty sting indeed - my niece got hit the other day swimming at our local beach here on the West Coast (S.I.)

I love the mis-fretted note in Stairway to Heaven at 3:30. Can't unhear it and love that it's never been dubbed out in all the various remasters etc.

Paris would like a word...

Hard to say in specific terms. Generally, we've already seen changes to the Adventure Activities Act (after much debate and industry consultation) which will put a lot more emphasis on informed consent and risk disclosures for clients. There's also more emphasis on risks due to major natural events and having systems to identify and mitigate these.

Honestly, the chances to the Act have been pretty minimal, and I don't think this verdict changes that. What it does achieve is force the hand of shonky operators to come up to standard.

The real monster was the friends he made along the way

Picked up and older but excellent condition Giant Reign for my son - was a seriously expensive bike in its day, so it has fully adjustable everything.

I stripped down the rear shock to get some rust kill on the spring - no issues there. But, I wanted to reset the rates to stock. Stupidly, I backed the rebound damping adjuster all the way out - it's popped off whatever ratchet it was on in there, and the damping is now stuck at full. I can get the adjuster back in, but it's not reengaging with whatever it's supposed to.

Usually when I break shit, YouTube has the answer. Not this time! Any tips from the experts?!

Has everyone got theirs by now? Wife and parents have, mine's nowhere to be seen...

Audit went well yesterday - no non-conformances and only a couple of observations. Super happy. Today is all about chill and catch up on emails lol

Wow, had no idea idea our obesity rates were so high. That's horrific.

I'm a fan of DADGAD - has been well used, so easy to find reference chord shapes

I don't have a good track record with sunglasses. Scratch them, break them, lose them, get super glue on the lenses (latest pair 🙄). So what's your recommendation for a decent budget brand where I can get a) good vision, b) polarised, c) UV rating?

It's a conspiracy by the Big Pipette cartel to sell more tips to labs.

Woop, first in for the day! What have you got planned? How's your day been so far? What's your top tip for a successful week ahead?!

[-] Axisential@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 year ago

Morning all. Spectacular day here on the West Coast - snow on the mountains, clear blue sky. Puts a smile on your face.

My kids love it, and are getting old enough to appreciate some of the more adult humour. So no, it's absolutely not "of its time". Definitely an unpopular opinion there to be sure!

Camera perspective is deceptive - my fellow caver here is still at least 20-30m from the bottom. The 60m rope we used only had about 5-6m left! Was an epic pitch, and we can't wait to get back in to survey the cave, and hopefully find more passage.
