It has not gone unnoticed that someone(s) have been downvoting imported questions as soon as they hit the front page regardless of whether they are good or bad questions otherwise. Question need t...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
Should [biking] and [bikes] be synonymized or perhaps "bikes" made a child of "biking"? I'm not very familiar with Codidact's hierarchical tags and what they imply for cases like this. Do you do s...
Don't we just love hacky data import processes. Fixed, thanks for the report!
I don't know much about web software, but these multiple accounts should be merged somehow. The one I deliberately created here should be the "real" account. Even better, there should be something...
There's no tooling for migrating between categories yet (it's on the list), but if you give me a list of post IDs I can mass-migrate things for you.
While those buttons are currently shown to users, who do not have the ability to perform the action, yet, this is going to change soon, once we roll out Abilities (formerly known as Trust Levels). ...
Fixed for the tags already existing. Someone needs to create all other tags just once (and can delete from post immediately afterwards) so that I can mark them as required/mod tags too.
@WeatherVane is spot on, there is a specified safe distance for all kinds of projectiles, depending on what is being shot they simply cannot fly farther no matter how it was aimed. If they are sho...
There's a tradeoff: Sealed leather doesn't let water in, but doesn't let water vapour out either. This results in liners getting soaked sooner. You can reduce this somewhat: Apply your choice of...
If I stop to take a break in cold dry windy weather, I am perfectly happy tossing a big puffy belay jacket on top of my shell if I can get out of the wind. If I cannot get out of the wind, I will u...
The best bet on a job like this is to stick a tape measure across it and see what you've got. While technically a "one design" hull a modern sunfish is a long way from a classic one and a wooden hu...
Yes, mud would work to give some protection from the sun, this is in fact exactly what rhinos and hippos do to protect their sensitive skin in the African safari. If I recall correctly mud protects...
In winter I will often wear a Paramo waterproof jacket (I live in the UK). If it is near to freezing or colder, then I also wear a light fleece top or jacket underneath. When stopped for any reason...
Summary: Heat adaptation (i.e. being able to do physical excercise in the heat) has a number of mechanisms, but among them the "water-related" mechanisms rely on having and needing, i.e. using more...
There is nothing to stop you carrying the tools of your trade in a public place (provided you aren’t arsing around).
Caves breathe. As the outside pressure increases or decreases the air inside a cave has to equalize. The most common cause is a pressure change is when the the outside temp changes due to the sun ...
I regularly cycle to the pool with limited time, and have found that the best option is trunks, but they don't have to be as skimpy as we tend to think of as speedos. Mine (similar to these but a l...
Temporary solutions until you can get a new leash Below is a list of solutions I tried. With any solution, use the repaired leash on small surf days and when the break has no beach-goers in case i...
March in Yosemite is considered winter, so you need to be prepared for cold temperatures and for snow. A sunny but cold day in the snow can be gorgeous and fun, but you have to also be prepared, so...
Two ground anchors The ones which look like large corkscrews, frequently used for securing dogs. If you screw two in next to each other and then attach a padlock between them, neither can be turne...
I camp very often in a country park campground where boars come almost everyday, starting from sunset. I've also seen boars bite tents many times, if there are no people inside. However, I've never...
My girlfriend and I camped at Hodgdon Meadow last year in May, we had very colder weather and snow. During the day the temperature at the upper elevations went as low as -10 Celcius with a cold win...
Storing the backpack inside instead of next to you won't provide a whole lot more security, in some crowded places where theft is more common it might be justified. Normally, if I am worried about...
