yeah the last time this came up didn't someone say he's supposed to be carrying two lines and attach the second one to where he's going before he undoes the first, that way he's never untethered? this guy seems to be free balling it for a little bit, which is Bad

It never occurred to me that there would be urban bouldering problems, but it makes perfect sense.

We have an Isuzu NPR at work. That thing is fun to drive occasionally because you feel like you can reach and touch whatever it is you're about to hit. Also being seated right over the wheels is a different experience. I do not feel safe in it at all.

Sounds a lot like driving a VW Microbus. (Ours was a camper.) Before you hopped into the driver's seat, you kissed your knees goodbye.

Among my climbing friends in the 1970s, it was called "buildering".

Obviously the people only using one line don't make any safety complaints. The ones who use two, well it's a bit of a hassle.

If I remember correctly, the issue is that people don't do things like tether the new line, and then untether the old line, they do things like untether the old line, and forget about tethering the new lines, their brains just assuming that it is tethered. Similar issues occur when climbing really long ladders that you want to tether yourself to, and one goon had an example from some zip-line course.

That's what a 700C - 900C donut based on the color? I guess boiled brake fluid is on the menu.

that's the brake disc, right? so something is making the system brake REALLY REALLY hard?

The guy that posted it said the brake was seized and the guy drove it for a long while before coming in. They also wanted to know if it was safe to drive.

How'd the brakes avoid catching fire, unless if they already flamed out all their combustible materials?

Now I want my car's rotors to be that color by default, it looks sick. Also, the concerned look from other drivers would be pretty funny.

takes a lot more energy to get iron discs glowing red than it does carbon ceramics.

That's very true, those brakes would also be virtually unusable on a street car (they don't work until they get very hot)

What I'm saying is if your street car's rotors are glowing, it's time to take it into the car doctor.

The Soviet intelligence apparatus took great pains to create maps of all of Europe with just incredible detail on things like rivers depth, tree density in a forest and load limits for all bridges.

And then I guess neglected to keep any of this in mind?
