The video was well researched and overall a very good description of life in salt lake, less so in other counties like st George. As he said in the video 80% of the population resides in "the valley", and he didn't really concern himself with the rest of the state. I also wouldn't choose to live in Provo or Spanish Fork as a queer person despite them being in the valley, but I wouldn't consider them dangerous or actively hide it there.
Avoiding global variables is just something dumb people do to protect themselves. Real programmers declare every variable before Main.
I'm a big fan of this one: https://www.mountain-forecast.com/ it does mountains, not trails. Just type the name of the mountain and it will give tons of detail.
Also, my personal favorite 2 day hike in the pnw is Old Snowy mountain in the Goat Rocks Wilderness
(Also a good example to test)
I'm not sure, but I think part of the problem is that the votes are "real". Since every instance has to have the same number of up/down votes they can't get away with fudging the numbers. I have no hard evidence that reddit does, but I suspect they do to increase engagement.
I actually don't have anything against the concept of voting third party. But only if one of those parties will put up somebody that isn't fucking crazy. If the libertarians put up someone like Jo Jorgenson again, why would anyone vote for them?
Thanks! I've had some pretty nasty water before, but it sounds like the CDT is gonna take that to another level. Is it weird to be excited about gross water?
The orange thing is my sleeping pad. I prefer a foam mat to to a blowup pad.
And totally understandable question! I'm bringing a sawyer squeeze water filter. It connects to the top of a squeezable bag or a smart water bottle if your bag breaks.
The Continental Divide Trail. 3000 miles along the rocky mountains from Mexico to Canada. I've been getting the money together and looking forward to this for the last two years!
I love so much about Utah, and would highly recommend visiting, but will never live there again. The church isn't that influential within salt lake City, but go outside and you're just hoping for LDS instead of FLDS people. What really made me leave wasn't the low abv beer or the mormans. The environmental inversion is truly hell

Ohh that's good. I always use the "try another outlet", but it backfires sometimes when they move the whole desk to another outlet
Holy shit. There's a countdown timer!? I feel like an idiot for not having noticed
That's sick! I live my cribbage board, but would replace it for this in a heart beat
There are a few nuggets that are still only obvious when you actually think about it. Like don't fight with a hill behind you because you might need to retreat, do fight with a forest behind you for the same reason.
Which east Rome? The south east, the north east, the north less east, or the north less east again but more fascist?
