HAIL eSATA-n posted:a friend of mine is hiking the pct this season too. sounds like a good time of suffering and self discovery and whatnot. Nice. I want to do some long through hike sometime. I did the ozette triangle today and it was . Some unprepared couple urged us to turn back about halfway through because they had a hell of a time. They were clearly out of their element and we did the rest of the trail despite their warnings and it was just fine. Saw a bunch of black tail deer and a sea otter

I periodically get a wild hair and start looking at telescopes and even stuff like the little spotting scopes that you can hook an iphone camera into. I don't wanna calculate the orbital period of binary stars or any wild poo poo like that but I would definitely like to see some saturn rings etc etc. and man those superzoom cameras do a bang-up job of the moon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJC2MeCSNCM 1k for that is stunning and would make galileo cry

I've been meaning to figure out if there's a smart/cheaper way of building a scope vs. buying one off the shelf. my dad used to make telescopes, ground the mirrors and everything, you needed to send them off to get metalized though and I dunno if those services are still around

my mom found my highschool-era telescope in her basement, i thought my dad had sold it off years ago. probably a 6" newtonian iirc

I’m at the rugby game and talking to my other kid who doesn’t like sport and I was saying about how rugby son is super hesitant because he’s just recovered from a broken arm, last season he didn’t play cos broke collar bone twice in a row, and season before he played soccer (he got player of the year) so it’s been years since he’s played tackle rugby and he’s hesitant, and I was saying he just needs to get tackled a few times to realise it doesn’t hurt and then son goes “but it does hurt” and I thought about it and occurred to me that the difference is that yeah it hurts, it’s pain, but there is no suffering. this is something on some levels I knew about coz a principle in meditation is trying come to a place where pain etc doesn’t cause suffering.. and now I’ve just realised a lot of that happens in sport

acute pain is very easy for me to handle (and i've always had a pretty good tolerance for pain imo) but the chronic pain that comes with rsi has done a number on my mental health

my place i'm at here overlooks a fairly big river with some rapids, and i was working in the kitchen making bread, when i looked out the window and saw a couple of kayakers having fun out this afternoon pretty exciting for just at home making pizza

Spent 5 days out of town and not checking work emails. Found out half my direct reports took that time to accept job offers and that my boss is ""retiring"" in 2 weeks. Should have just stayed away
