It can be a treacherous hike in bad weather! You can arrange for bus pickup because it’s a through hike, but if the weather is so bad, they’ll email you and tell you the bus is canceled. Absolutely worth hiking if you’re ever in NZ!

It’s not that I have the skills yet. Outside of painting a wall, it’s all new territory 🤣
LOLjoeWTF@lemmy.worldto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•What's the next thing you have to buy or do for your home?English4·5 months agoI just patched some drywall. The paper was tearing and stuff. Now I’ve gotta sand, primer, and paint the room. Then, replace a seal for a toilet and hopefully that Just Works™️ then I can reinstall the floor I had to rip up. Then replace the trim 😵💫 this is too much

LOLjoeWTF@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Home owners of Lemmy do you have any advice on dealing with the stress of owning a home?3·5 months agoI understand this will sound crazy. I started running, a lot. A few half marathons per year. It’s a juxtaposition of enjoying the benefits and hating the activity.
The biggest benefit is being able to handle more stress, and deal with the stress better, in general. I tell myself during the first mile (as it’s the most difficult to start), “I am expanding my capacity to endurance stress and suffering” it’s shifted the way I look at problems.
A recent example: I paid a contractor to build a wall to split a room, and to install new flooring on the floor. It looked nice. A year later, I encountered a problem in the bathroom that exposed a leak that’s probably existed since the work was done. The bathroom is being torn apart and completely redone by me. I’m not thrilled, and was absolutely pissed at first, but it’s subsided much faster than it used to. I can’t afford to hire someone again, but I do have another bathroom to use during this process, so it can wait. It’s shifted my perspective, and I’m seeing this now as “expanding a set of skills that can be useful again” instead of completely dreading it. Of course I prefer this didn’t happen 😊 but wishing reality is different doesn’t help anything.

Seeing as more than half the country uses an iPhone, I can’t imagine getting anywhere near “up to $20”. You’re probably right.

LOLjoeWTF@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In Buddhist view: If all misfortune/suffering is deserved due to bad karma of past actions in a prior life, why advocate ahimsa/nonviolence?1·1 year agoKarma is a weak excuse when used to justify bad behavior. I can see it as a useful tool for coming to acceptance for a unfortunate events, but I still think it’s poor because it means that one has previously committed sins and that’s ridiculous. As far as acceptance goes, some things just “are” and what’s right or wrong will only cause mental suffering. Of course, I don’t believe in reincarnation, so not everyone will share that.
I was going to expand and relate it to a violence bank one can pull from, but I’d rather not further dwell on this any further.
I rented a 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander in 2022 and it was amazing how unresponsive it was. It’s a small SUV with the engine of a hamster. It has a “sport mode” that really struggled to get me up some hills in Colorado.
Also, the rubber seal for the door, on 3 of the doors, was constantly feel off and could be worn as a second seatbelt.
