I joined a climbing gym after learning how to climb, belay and rappel for a week. I love learning knots, so that’s fun, but also all the terminology and techniques. Plus there’s a whole social aspect to it (climbers tend to be pretty friendly). Turning out to be a healthy and exciting new hobby!

That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work…

I used RedReader for many years. It’s one of the few apps that was given an accessibility exclusion, but I still don’t want to get back on Reddit. Now I’m currently trying out Connect, Liftoff, Jerboa, and others to see which I like the best for Lemmy.
