I have been slowly learning 2 knots and practicing them every weekend for the past 6 weeks. I wanted to ask how useful is the "tarp corner knot" in climbing and/or general outdoor activities? My local climbing gym 1 hour away includes a free 2-week membership if you pay $65 for their 90 minute beginner group lesson (capped at 6 climbing noobs) for people who have never climbed before, so I thought it might be useful for that maybe? Here is the link to a 10-second video showing the knot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Fjq4xt68I

The worst type of troll or bad actor is the one I have put in bold:

Trolls often provoke others into displaying emotional responses,[3] or manipulating others' perceptions, thus acting as a bully or a provocateur. I quit my niche youtube channel of 500 subscribers and 70 videos because of one extremely motivated troll.

I thought you're just not supposed to talk to them if they reach out first (i.e. if you're a suspect) but it's fine to reach out to them as long as you're not a possible suspect to any unsolved crime in the last 90 days?

Then leg lifts while lying down—one at a time at first, then both at the same time.

Were you lying on your back? Or lying on your stomach?

The only thing which finally helped my back was physical therapy. It was the list of 7 exercises she told me to do. I searched each on youtube and one of the videos included 2-3 extra beyond the one I was searching, and 1 of those extra exercises finally worked like a miracle! 😁 I still have the video bookmarked if you want me to search for it and link it.

 

I believe knot-tying would be a great, life-long skill to have, especially being able to know which knots work best for different situations, like when the rope is thick and not very flexible or bendable.

I have lots of nylon rope and fishing line of various diameters, but don't know where to begin and/or the best way to get started. My goal is to make this a long-term hobby and spend 1-2 hours per week improving my knot-tying knowledge, skill, and speed.
