@ClimbingCoachX The 2020 smoke apocalypse in the bay area.

This was 2:14pm

@nycexpatmom Go where phones don't work.

I was up near Pinecrest lake, near Sonora pass over the weekend.

No cell phone reception.

Whole days of nature and fishing.

@nickgillespie @reason @ReemAmirIbrahim @kmanguward @petersuderman @MattWelch @ICEgov Why does Peter look like a retired Special Forces operator but sound like a 12 year old talking about comic books and superheroes all the time?

The couple of good things to come from COVID was showing how possible work from home was for so many people.

And the air got so clean in the bay area with no one driving.

It's kind of crazy that tech insisted on trying to bring people back to the office.

It's just so nice. I took both my kids to camps this morning. I'll be going to pick them up again soon.

I see them on and off all day. My office is in my back yard, I sit with the doors and windows open in the fresh air with birds and squirrels hopping around. I walk 2 miles round trip for lunch every day.

My cat sits at the back window and meows at me.

Just so much nicer than any office.

And I still work with and meet with my entire team all the time. Hell, most of them are in Seattle anyway, I'd just be sitting by myself in the SF office.

@ClimbingMag @Opops13 Yeah, I was climbing with someone new at my gym this week.

I got part way up a climb then he said he had to lower me.

It turned out he'd only clipped me into his PAS, not his belay loop.

So I was on whatever friction was in the girth hitch and clipped off to his gear loop

@ClimbingCoachX Of all the things in my house I'd not want to put in my mouth, my climbing shoes are way up the list.

@Camp4 @p_millerd US public healthcare spending is already comparable to the single payer healthcare systems people want the US to emulate.

When you count both public and private insurance the us vastly out spends everyone.

@Brian_The_Stoic @gallerymassages Are you a plumber?

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@tyromper Me.

Though to be fair, my picture is several years old.

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@zachhomol_ You're each doing the distance. Or as a team, like a relay?

What's a fire hang?

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@ClimbingCoachX I thought you were supposed to drop like a sack of flour and see if your shoulders and elbows can absorb the load.

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@Brian_The_Stoic I'd think the question to ask yourself is WHY do you believe in this particular investment?

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@ClimbingCoachX So, is this video you then?

Are those long sleeves or tattoos?

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@0Fedbear2 Old chute is climbers left of hogs back, no?

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@0Fedbear2 I would have guessed hood, but it looks wrong.

You're headed towards pearly gates?

Where's hogs back?

It just looks like open snow field

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@RockChartrand Like national parks. We all own that public land. Unless politicians are fighting about something, then it's closed to everyone.

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@kevinnbass @Anthropic Why not just get GitHub copilot and use models from whatever vendor you like?

[Justin Lewis @JustinLewis1977]

@tyromper Climbing sand is always rough.

Good for the cardio though.
