Ugh... can't paste the URL.... From the article:

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Over the last decade or so, the Olympics has pushed to add more sports that are relevant in today’s culture. One that made its first appearance in Tokyo and is back for a second go-round in rock climbing.

The past few days a handful of American Olympians in the sport gathered at the Portland Rock Gym to do one last training camp before they reconvene in Paris.

“The head coach for Team USA reached out to us and asked us if they could come do a training camp on our wall. The Titan Wall is the same wall that’s going to be used in the Olympics in Paris in about a month,” said Nick Gagliardi, who is the head route setter at the Portland Rock Gym. “He wanted a chance to bring them out here, get to play on the wall, get to play on some holds that they might see at the Olympics that they might have here in Portland. Get them to have fun with one another and just get to play and build some confidence.”

The confidence part is key, as it becomes very obvious even just glancing at someone climbing that strength is just a part of the equation to be successful in the sport.

“Climbing is— especially competitive climbing— is almost just as much physical as it is mental. I work a lot on my mental training. That has shifted me for what it looks like. It used to be mental training and now it’s more wellbeing and mental health,” said rock climber Brooke Rabatou.

There are a lot of misconceptions about the sport, like people asking if the climbers can summit Everest or if they can free solo like the movie of the same name featuring the famous Alex Honnold, but there is something about the sport you may not expect.

“A lot of people think that we’ve practiced the boulders before when we’ve actually never seen them before,” said Rabatou. “We’re going in with—if it’s the final round—we’ll have a two-minute preview of the boulders and then you go out, and you just have to execute in a four or five minute round. No getting to try it before or even look at it with coaches or anything.”

The sport is only growing in popularity and will assuredly grow once again once it gets another Olympic spotlight.

The vet of the bunch, Colin Duffy, who is headed back to his second straight Olympics, had some parting words of advice for young climbers.

“I think kids should focus on making climbing a lifelong sport, something that they can really enjoy and not start to hate climbing by over training. Don’t put any pressure at a young age. Just experiment with movement and enjoy that climbing is a part of your childhood,” said Duffy.

I just took a look at your post history. It's literally only anti-Biden. I hope you're getting paid...

Sure but... WHO?!

Who though... Comments like this are useless unless there is a valid replacement. So again... Who, or STFU.

Maybe, but I took some business courses too and even some of them had at least tried a Linux distro. I think it was more widespread than just turbo nerds and cs majors. Hell one of the biggest Linux guys I knew was an anthropology major.

This was me, you're talking about me. 😂 In the 90's Linux was barely getting started but slackware was probably the main distro everyone was focused on. That was the first one I ran across. This was probably late 90's, I don't remember when slack first came about though.

By the time the 2000's came around, it was basically a normal thing for people in college to have used or at least tried. Linux was in the vernacular, text books had references to it, and the famous lawsuit from SCO v IBM was in full swing. There were distro choices for days, including Gentoo which I spent literally a week getting everything compiled on an old Pentium only for it to not support some of the hardware and refuse to boot.

There was a company I believe called VA Linux that declared that year to be the year of the Linux desktop. My memory might be faulty on this one.

Loki gaming was a company that specialized in porting games to Linux, and they did a good job at it but couldn't make money. I remember being super excited about them and did buy a few games. I was broke too so that was a real splurge for me. I feel like they launched in the 90's (late) and crashed in the early 2000's.

V.A.N. From Bad Omens and Poppy.

Is there a good tutorial or better yet, videos showing how to use ondsel? When I tried to use it, everything pointed at free car and the ui was too different.

Different studios take different approaches, I know when Polyphony digital was making Gran Turismo 7 they dramatically changed how they were doing audio by actually bringing the real cars into a dedicated recording studio. This isn't the video I saw a few years ago, but it's similar.

To my knowledge they may have been (still?) the only studio doing it this way.

You all are awesome. What's the best way to dispose of them?

Gaming on Linux is pretty legit now. I don't even boot into windows very often. In recent memory, only one AAA game didn't work out of the box for me that required booting into windows.

Just a reminder that it isn't a left vs right conversation. It's working class vs ruling class.

You aren't bitter at leftists, you're bitter at the ideas that media companies use to keep you angry at leftists instead of oligarchs.

If you have to work, you're working class.

If you actually do hate certain types of people, then you need to work on yourself.

If you don't believe certain people need health care, then you need to work on yourself.

If you believe ultra wealthy (people making over $10mil in income annually) deserve more tax cuts, then you need to work on yourself.

If you don't believe that minimum wage should have parity with inflation, then you need to work on yourself.

Have some class solidarity.

EDIT: To all those downvotes... Ask yourself why you are downvoting me. (Now with 100% more sources)

Do you actually hate certain people? Really? But you're downvoting me? Work on yourself.

Do you actually believe you don't deserve health care? That others don't deserve health care? Seriously? Work on yourself.

Are you super wealthy (low percentage chance)? I'm saying uncomfortable things to you. But you can easily afford those taxes so maybe work on yourself.

Do you believe people working for minimum wage shouldn't be able to afford an apartment by themselves anywhere in the USA? Work on yourself.
