  • I know you didn’t ask and probably don’t care, but free climbing and free soloing are different things. Free climbing uses a rope, but does not allow you to use artificial means to ascend, like pulling on gear you put on the wall. The gear is just there to arrest a fall.

    Free soloing is where you climb without a rope. Free climbing uses a rope for safety, but upward mobility is hands and feet on wall. Aid climbing is where you climb by fixing gear to the wall and use it to ascend.

    If you know what you’re doing, free climbing is pretty safe. Free soloing is not, but people do it successfully without their huge balls weighing them down.

    As a side note, bouldering is also climbing without a rope, but you don’t climb high enough to make a fall fatal.








  • Same same. I had a thermos I accidentally left hot cocoa (made with milk) in for about 6 months when it fell behind my car seat. I thought I was going to have to throw it out because it smelled so horribly rancid. I booked some water and flushed it out and used white vinegar for a few overnight soaks and it got the smell out. Like a brand new thermos…



  • Yes.

    I was in operations working the DuPont schedule for over a decade. Concerning DST, you work an extra hour, with pay, or work a shift that is one hour less, depending on which direction the clock is moving

    When we worked the 11 hour shift (normally 12), as clocks spring forward, you would be compensated a full paycheck if you had no overtime hours, as the company was forced to pay you a full 2 weeks of wage for the pay period. If you had any overtime hours in that check, your pay would reflect 1 hour less to cover the shortage due to the time change.

    Some companies pay the full 12 hr shift when the clocks spring forward, but mine didn’t.
