Chinese govt is a GPU. US is a CPU. Whether that's hereditary is a separate question, but culture exists.

You're right. It's only good for the superrich.

The US is very good if you're very rich. It's bad for everyone else. China appears to be somewhat bad or critical of the superrich, which is why they want to come to the US, but good if you're middle class or poor.

Read the headline - sounds like a therapy / anti-suicide advocacy app? Clicked the link - ok looks like it's for ski touring, because it mentions avalanche stuff? Checked the route catalog - wait, there's barely any ski tours

I just remember on a podcast, he said he thought eventually amazon would have physical stores. Listening to this I thought that sounded terribly outlandish, and so did the cohosts. Their whole deal was to make online retail so much smoother

My parents were born in 1949 korea and I recently realized (thru talking to AI) that that's probably why they were/are so fucked up. Basically first 4 years of their lives were surrounded by destruction, death, like Gaza right now

Petzl makes better helmets than BD. They pioneered the ultralight foam kind with the sirocco that everyone (including BD and Mammut) copied. Yet they still don't care about MIPS.

It's Probably Overpriced

I'm pretty convinced mips is just marketing. Hair will do the same thing. That's why in rock climbing world, petzl hasn't even bothered with it when they're usually very forward thinking about their designs (first compan

This is peripheral about bearblog, but it's so grating to see the "D M, Y" date format with the comma. The correct format is "D M Y." It's like someone deciding to write June, 6, 2026 for some reason.

Hugsbox has absolutely no idea what he's talking about, that's why he hasn't responded to anyone here.

lmao. Average age of a car on the road right now is 12 years. Yes, I'm sure my mexican housekeeper will be selling her 15 year old corolla for a self driving car any time now.

Yeah all that counterculture stuff in climbing pretty much died 30-40 years ago. The sport is very regulated everywhere today, kind of like everything else in outdoor recreation.

I had a towel bar fall out of the wall. I realized that that small repair would take a trip to home depot, buying plaster, paint, a paint brush, and probably some other crap. There are of course a million types of paint and brushes to get t

Owning a house is a hedge against risk. You are paying a premium to have certainty, like insurance. If that premium is too high though, you can be worse off than accepting the risk of variable costs.

People act like owning a home and coming out financially ahead is an inviolable law of physics. It is not. Buying a house is like purchasing an option to have something at a set price in the future. That option can be overpriced to the poin
