Currently a beginner, and it feels like the sensation can be so overstimulating it can be difficult to stay hard.

Using an electro pebble with conductive loops and I'm finding that the loops being on makes it awkward to play with myself to stay stimulated, and the sensation from it really does feel like it overwhelms any erection after a few minutes.

Any guidance would be appreciated, as I really want to get more into it.

I've got a pair of La Sportiva Tarantulas that I bought in 2022 that were used for about 3 months before I broke my knee and had a few years off climbing. I've recently gotten back into it and am about 2.5 months back.

Bouldering wise I'm solidly novice at a comfortable f6b+ flash level, and have climbed decent number of f6c and a few of f6c+

The shoes feel okay, but I don't feel like they're easy to have traction with on overhang stuff and especially trying cave stuff, but this is also very much probably me having rubbish technique on this stuff as I'm still building up strength.

Would new shoes which are less flat and stiff help, or are they not really necessary until I'm more intermedi

Been seeing that there's some insertables that are bipolar, and assuming that will pass the current from the base to the inserted bit?

Still very new to it all and don't fully understand it, but seems to have learned that unipolar is where you need two different devices eg pad to loop.

With it all being a little pricey, just curious to know more from some of you who've done more homework.

Hi, I've just received my first device (electro pebble) and I've found estim systems water based lube dries out in readily quickly and gets sticky, which means it's continuously needing to be reapplied which kinda kills the vibe a bit.

Are there better gels/lubes to use that work harder for longer? Complete beginner to this, so any assistance is appreciated.

Have just seen that TCA membership will let you climb at Bloc as of tomorrow, no idea if that's a two way street for Bloc members as of yet.

Blocs membership lets you climb at Red/Flashpoint according to their webpage.

Red/Flashpoint doesn't seem to mention any cross-pollination on their membership.

Am I missing anything or have things just gotten a lot better than they were a few years ago when I last climbed?

Decided to start trying to get into lifting, and I've genuinely no idea what good starter weights are.

I did 30 then 35kg on the bench press for multiple sets of 5 reps, similar for squats with the barbell.

Deadlift started at 40kg and they were all manageable, but I didn't want to risk going too high too fast and injuring myself too.

I'm in my 40s and the only other activity I do is running, and work and office job so not in amazing strength shape.

Have plates that currently allow a max of 55kg before I need to buy more.

I've tried doing some research, but there's just so much conflicting advice out there for strength that it's a bit overwhelming.

Genuinely curious why so many people are so staunchly anti hitting yes on the FF vote.

Complete one sided stomps aren't fun on either side of them, and yet 9/10 games get held hostage because there are 2 players on the team refusing to surrender.

Why don't people want to move onto the next game and try get the elusive game that's fun and a fight that both sides stand a chance in?

It makes the whole aram mayhem mode feel pretty toxic when you have people artificially dragging out for 5-15m longer than it really needs to be, whilst your team refuses to just end it and theirs does the same.

I'll always end when I'm on the winning side, but when I'm not it feels like that happens maybe 1 in

I've been unfortunate enough to be getting pretty bad shoulder RSI recently and it's becoming an issue, so open to seeing a physio to try and help. Just curious if anyone has used a physio for anything similar they can vouch for. Cheers!

I've got a few pairs of vivos for everyday wear but the quality in them feels like it has declined in the couple of years since I bought my first couple of pairs with the most recent pair having a horrific plastic texture and making annoying 'clicking' noise when they bend whilst walking (the joys of having large feet) and I have a pair of Vibram V-Runs for my running.

just curious of people's experiences with any other UK or European brands? pretty happy with the V-Runs for running, so potentially looking for more casual every day wear recommendations, but also not opposed to a second pair of running shoes as they do get wet easily in Winter!

lots of shoes often are a bit shittier when sc

Have just come off Mirtazapine and swapped to Trazodone, as whilst the mirt was great for sleep, it didn't leave my mental health the most stable.

Really struggling with going back to 2-3 hours a night awake unable to get to sleep after how good it was on mirt.

I'm on day 4 at 50mg, is the drowsiness just something that doesn't impact everyone, or does it take a while to build up in your system to the point it helps?

Doesn't have to be efficient, or good, but what would you like to have a roll on?

For me, I reckon Goliath, Tank Engine, Cheating and something that gives AP scaling on Tahm Kench playing him as a poke mage would be great fun.

The only thing stopping this is every time you pick Kench the rest of the team switches to carries. 🥲

Just give me my deadfall rumours so I can move into the next stage of setting up the block list, I'm 35 rumours deem now Ornus you massive bellend.

Working my way through Act 2 and have been taking my time exploring everywhere and I've got 2 so far.

Not asking for locations or anything, just curious how many there are!

F is pretty far away from Z and X...

I've cleared the boss in the bell area to be as spoilerless as possible, but going strong just telling on my trusty needle.

Are all these shell parts used to repair tools or what? Have I just missed a mechanic somewhere as it seemed weird that I've found packs of them when they have no use other than the occasional hand in.
