  • In recreational climbing, skin calluses and surface abrasion aren’t usually much of a concern compared to tendon health. Skin heals light damage quite easily.

    However, it’s not uncommon for a new (or experienced) climber to develop their muscles beyond what their own tendons can take. Since it takes tendons so long to strengthen, it’s common to need managing the risk of finger pulley tendon injuries in climbing.

    Also, I do not know how these nuances apply in your context of your medical condition.


  • In a sense, money represents all the future goods and services it can buy, and those goods and services ultimately resolve down to someone’s time and effort. Money was conceived as a formalization of IOU’s, after all.

    So it’s similar to asking whether there’s a limit to how much time and effort from (i.e. influence over) others one would want.




  • I think people are being lazy, in a selfish, tragedy of the commons sort of way.

    When standing in line, they all watch the customer stand there doing nothing as the cashier checks out items. If only they’d bag their own things, we’d all be able to get on with our lives that much sooner. Instead, they continue standing there doing nothing, as the cashier now bags their items.

    Then the next person in line moves up and also just stands there, also unwilling to do anything to help speed things along.
