Bluewater is a fine choice.
Don't pay attention to anyone who suggests you scrimp on safety equipment quality.

Why can't I bring my handgun into a bar? I WANT MY FAIR SHARE OF SECURITY!Um, yeah. You can. Just can't be drinking.

Isn't this flu vaccine another leftist ploy to take away our guns?

Score one for persistence. And luck. Got a place near Pilot Butte.

Thanks all for advice. Family is what's driving the search.

Been looking and making offers on midtown houses (<$200K) for the last 6 months, but no joy. Any clever ideas for buying a home or property in Bend?

Captain of Crush. If you can close a #3, you're there.

undecided?

Still? If a voter hasn't decided by now, their vote value should be diminished. IMO.

Get the boots that fit.

It is hard to resist political debates. Especially with ill-informed coworkers. Mouth breathing idiots!
So, IMHO, the one candidate wants to give my job away, increase my tax liability, and make education more expensive. It's not even a choice for me at that point on where my vote goes.
I voted a couple weeks ago (another perk of the job ). Course, my voting district is completely mail in now. Do it. Do it now.

mec.ca has some cheapos ready made.
I'm coming out of a phase of trying to go as cheap as I can... what I found was that spending $75 instead of $200 very frequently results in spending $275.
Not to mention the hassles when your cheap gear fails you miles from nowhere...
Whatever. mec makes stuff that lasts. Simple but effective. But you can spend your money how you see fit.

2¢: spend less money. The one pocket homemade wonder of 25 years keeps going strong whereas the trick arc'tryx disco fever shredded first trip. Just sayin. mec.ca has some cheapos ready made. Course, my go to bike messenger bag is three grocery sacks strung together.

Ksl.com classifieds has a lot to choose from. How far you willing to drive ia the question.

Definitely not white: it's after Labor day.
MEC has some decent cheapos.

Uintah's pumpkin ale is good. My slc favorite is espresso stout at squatters. But I ain't done with summer: dame michelada (maggi tabasco lime into modelo), carnal!

Use 1/2" stainless steel Powers Power-bolts with stainless hangers for a long, long lasting anchor--that is replaceable.

Why not?
If a 7kN force rips a piece rated to 6kN, wouldn't that piece have absorbed 6kN regardless of rope stretch, or any other dynamic elements?
This is the heart of my question.
Son, you're lacking perspective. You asked a question regarding work, then limit your vocabulary to force. The answer to your question is probably no (the scenario you describe is too incomplete to say no definitively). The explanation can be found in previous posts.

i think the only qualified response would be someone with a PhD in physics...
Why do you assume you didn't get the "qualified" response you sought?

The extra friction of an additional gear placement whether it fails or not will lessen the load on everything.

Fukin irony that this post is on a bb with moderators.

Two ascenders, aiders, etc. Much easier to pass edges, set up pendulum, deal with the unexpected. Jumars suck. BD makes ascenders much like the old Kong type that can crunch through iced lines.
