I really like Porter. I've seen leftists label her a liberal, but her time in Washington showed that she cares about the working class, so even if she's more of a centrist than a lot of us would like, she's still an improvement.

Bullshit. It's painfully obvious that this was either written by a dog person or is using a tired stereotype to get clicks and make an easy joke.
I usually like Pizzacake.
Moss is lichen? The PNW is an absolute haven for lichen, then.
I hadn't considered that, but that should definitely be added to the pro column. Vapor is just significantly easier on the lungs. The original reason I switched to vapor was so I could climb mountains in Washington without stopping for a break every 5 minutes. The difference in lung endurance is massive.
You're right, dozens was an exaggeration. I added an edit to my comment.
One of my favorite perks from switching to vaporizers is that I am not creating this particular type of plastic waste. People don't seem to realize how much plastic is in a single bic lighter. Dozens of plastic bottles worth of plastic.
Edit: I should've said "several" water bottles not "dozens." I googled the weight of a bic lighter and a bottle and it's probably 2 or 3 water bottles.
I was on trails the entire hike. I have yet to do any of the style of rock climbing that people do with ropes, harnesses, and helmets, but I might look into that when I'm ready for it. I do some lighter/easier rock climbing without equipment occasionally, like ridgelines, which do have some danger of falling.
The Cascades aren't too different from a range like the Rockies, except there are more volcanoes and you start at a lower elevation. I do snowshoeing in the winter when the avalanche risk isn't too great. Rainforest trails are accessible year round but are crowded in the summer, so I do those in other seasons. The PNW is just stupid gorgeous.
Please use someone other than a fascist toady for your memes. Snoop is tainted.
Foot. Biking would be exceptionally dangerous on the steep trails I was on. Although there are no rangers in wilderness areas so there's no one to stop people from trying.
I got back from a 40 mile hike on Thursday. The hike was in the Cascade mountains and had a total of 10,177 feet elevation gain.
I am on day 3 of my (somehow sustained) natural high, and wondering how long endorphins last. Being sore is so much fun when you've earned it.
This was my first thought. My second was about the beach closest to my apartment on the Puget Sound. The sand there is always wet and cold, even on a 90 degree day. This bottle design is still silly for 99% of beaches in existence, though. I just happen to live in a unicorn climate.
I actually agree. I've always considered her to be a progressive (or at least what's considered progressive in the United States), but the last time I brought her up on Lemmy I got jumped on and told she's a liberal.
I love those clips of her when she was grilling CEOs as member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She has fantastic "get to the point and don't fuck around" energy which is desperately needed in US politics.
