P is the Proportional Limit, where it stops being linear, but remains elastic for a short while longer, meaning any deformation can still be recovered. E is the Elastic Limit, where it changes from elastic to plastic
There's lots of areas with clusters close together, lots of parks worth visiting! If you're new, I'd recommend sticking to larger sizes (i.e. not micro) as well as low difficulty rating. And caches in the woods might be easier than urban hides to start off
BC's oldest cache, from February 2001, is an ammo can in Pacific Spirit Park near UBC: https://coord.info/GC1DD
Yes! Tons of great caches nearby to explore. Personally, I think anything put out by layzee_bones is worth finding. Is there any type of cache in particular you're interested in? Or just starting out in the hobby?
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Meetup.com has events for a ton of different interests, I've found them to be quite diverse in age but some events are also focused for certain age ranges, so you might have some luck there!
Move your Lemmy settings from one account to another - GitHub - CMahaff/lasim: Move your Lemmy settings from one account to another
I've heard about LASIM a few times now, this great tool for migrating Lemmy subscriptions from one account to another. I downloaded it from Github recently to try it out... only problem? I have no clue how to get it to run. All the instruction I read online just say "run LASIM" as if it's that trivial and leave me feeling silly.
Can anyone explain this in terms that I (not an experienced programmer) could understand? Am I missing something really obvious?
Edit; I'm on Windows if that matters
I've had this happen a few times now. I type up a nice post, then add a URL in the "Post URL" field when I'm done, and it deletes everything I've typed. Infuriating for longer text posts... anyone else have this happen?

I hope this is the right community to post in.
This is one functionality from Reddit I find myself missing quite a bit. Is there any way I can subscribe to a single post (that I didn't make) and get a notification whenever someone comments? I'm on Connect for Lemmy, but maybe a different app would offer this?
This was definitely one of the crazier bushwhacks I've done lately... was able to walk right up to within 20 metres of GZ, but those last 20 metres took about 15 minutes of climbing over dense, absolutely pathless foliage. I had my doubts on finding this because there were several prior DNFs, but in the end it felt very worth it for an almost 3 years lonely find.

Exactly one year ago today, thousands of geocachers and explorers gathered in Seattle, Washington, to celebrate over 20 years of geocaching. The official event ended up with over 2,700 Attended logs! Was anyone from Lemmy there, too?
Log any geocache, Adventure Lab® Location, or Event on August 19 or August 20 to earn the International Geocaching Day 2023 souvenir.
Ever since the 2011 Geocaching Block Party, geocachers worldwide come together for a day of celebration and smileys on the third Saturday of each August. This holiday is just one of the many quirks that make the global geocaching community so endearing. This year, we celebrate the amazing biodiversity of our planet. Can we count you in on the 12th anniversary of this special occasion?
One of the many things geocachers have in common is a love of getting outdoors and exploring all throughout the year. The natural world can be an unpredictable place, so it’s important to be as prepared as possible to ensure you have a great time!
Glued and sewed a larger piece of gear repair tape to add fidelity to the ripped edge: ! Then sewed the rip itself with fishing line (the strongest thing I could think of to hold the weight of the bag's contents, plus I just happened to have it at home: !
As of this post, I've been using it for a week, and it's held up pretty well. I may add some sealant later to hold things in place.
Now all that's left to do is replace a missing zipper pull and fix some rodent damage to the front compartment... I may post about that at a later time
Just printed myself some passports for a GeoTour in British Columbia's southern gulf islands -- 14 caches, can't wait! Anyone here have a favourite GeoTour they completed? What did it involve?

I've browsed a bunch of recent threads about more niche communities which people are hoping to grow. Which is awesome, and I've subscribed to a bunch of them... with the result that I now still barely have new content in my feed, because most are at only a few new posts a month.
What are your favourite small or medium-sized, but active communities you've found on Lemmy?
