Eh. I play against a group of friends. $0.25 a game. First to the lowest number of guesses takes the pot. If you are the first to three you’ll often win, but your green/yellow/black are clues that...

A ponzi isn’t about the flow of money?

It depends a bit on your definition of a Ponzi scheme, and I recognize that it isn’t a deliberate and centrally coordinated fraud…. But in the sense that all...

“Only time could possibly tell. Buy now while there’s still time!”

That’s not the argument. The argument is that it’s a Ponzi scheme. We don’t need time to tell that.

I wouldn’t suggest that the horse is not thoroughly beaten.

But suggesting that time will yield some truth reveals either misunderstanding or disingenuity. In time, something may be added to the...

Old casement windows suck. New casement windows rock.

I went to some kind of house party years ago and some psycho cut the chip bag right across the middle. Half the chips on one side. Half on the other. And then laid on the counter. It was maybe a...

Pffft. My dealer keeps giving me a Q5. Which is good for driving to the nearest sports bar and parking, but not much else.

Pharmacies and Rx insurance annoy me. Filling a generic prescription for below the $20 copay, and the entire system comes to a halt. If you’re filling two Rx and the first is below $20 ($12) and the...

Free shipping is fairly standard, as is getting the item on its way within a business day. Which makes it fair game to bitch, IMO. The e-commerce world has taken a really noticeable step back in...

My auto brights seem to work pretty well? They’re definitely off more than they’d be if I was responsible for flipping the switch.

Guess that makes me an annoying retro asshole made slightly less...

Agreed on all points.

Can’t imagine airing out an iceberg if the light is that flat.

Good on you, DTM.

Also, funny thing…. Of all the compliments I might get, somebody telling me they like my skiing gets me going...

I would watch it again, but couldn’t get my kids to watch it and I can’t say I know anybody who’s gone out of their way to watch it in the last decade or so. Longer probably.

For you are in Elysium.

I feel like that movie didn’t age well and it’s one I expected would.

That annoys me a little.

Hole conflicts were actually sort of tricky with FKS at my BSL and whatever you had going on before. I ended up about 0.5cm to 0.75cm forward, I think. Had to reuse the rearmost toe holes that...

We got the call while enjoying a drink at the Mangy Moose at JHMR. There was some kind of spring break beer drinking competition going on, so it was chaos. We couldn’t hear each other and all I got...

Nope. All turns are earned as far as I know. Bohemia spun up last weekend and if they get snow up there they may again. As far as I knew it wasn’t really snowing much out that way, though.

My son now drives my old ‘13 allroad. 165k-ish on the clock.

A few weeks back a coil went bad. Poor kid thought he blew up the engine, and left it on a side road out in the boonies until I was...

This funky heavy snow feels like GPO or Renegade? Won’t matter because I’m a dull boy who has to work. Meetings with The Bobs (8 of them in total) all week.

18” to 32” forecast for tomorrow. I swapped my summer tires on Sunday. Just swapped snows back on when I got home from work. If I’d known that’s all it took I’d have put my summers on weeks ago when...

Who should tell him?

And I’m annoyed by double posts.

I woke up preemptively annoyed about April fools. Maybe that’s just Monday. Usually I’m a better sport about it. Probably just old.

With my old corvus I mounted back 1.5 and really like them there. Did not get along with them at recommended… I don’t like carving on my heels. Curious if you’ve tried fiddling with mount point?

I don’t approve at all, actually. Also, people are funny about laundry… as evidenced when she doesn’t want you touching it.

Also, sorry. You guys are doing great.

Yup. When you file a complaint to a financial system regulator a copy of the complaint is sent directly to the CEO. This CEO may or may not read their own email and even if they do they probably...

That was actually directed at Neufox, sorry. Lazy quote.

But also I’m on your page.

While I can feel your pain, feeling generous by offering to pay somebody else to do a traditional family chore is probably missing the point by a very wide margin. You can’t even volunteer to handle...

This far predates the spook/jer era.

I’m stoked for this adventure.

You can still buy a 911 with AWD and a manual.

Newer Audi A6 allroad might be too big to check the rally box. I have a hard time getting mine loose in the corners and feeling good about it.

I...

Hah. I think I’d take something I didn’t mind putting a few creases in. Plenty of skis in the quiver that have seen rocks.

My vision for the revolts is as a Bohemia ski though…. Something for...

Spoiler: it ain’t gonna look like that!

I’d head up if I could. Family dinner obligations.

Would you be willing to part with just the orange fks?

Bonus day.

Because they’re driving trackers and jeeps.

Damn this is purty….

Seems you wouldn’t rely on the sheer strength of bolts when you don’t have to. If you can stack you should stack.

QFT. I have it on good authority from somebody who destroys trivia night.

Drift: saw a guy texting while skiing on Friday. Why??

Lack of conditioning makes it a nonstarter, unfortunately. I’m not carrying any extra weight but had a hard time skiing top to bottom at JH without at least a couple stops - even groomers. Djongo can...

Tangent: when this came up I did a quick check to see if it was possible. It isn’t, but my fantasy included an equipment and skills check. And two questions…

1. I immediately figured I’d bring my...

This is a ton of fun. WTG DTM!

Between JH last week and this thread, I’ll consider this a wake-up call to better maintain conditioning. This would be a dream trip for me but it ain’t ever...

I was going to say that, but he’ll have a roof structure and lots of opportunity for diagonal bracing to prevent racking. As long as it’s secured to the platform I wouldn’t think he’d have a...

If it was me I’d probably put down the 2x8 floor and build the roof structure on top of that. Seems it’ll look awkward to have posts come up from the outside and hard to support them super well....

Beautiful trip to JH. Truly a fantastic mountain. Great to meet up with Djongo and Lindenle (?) for a few runs. Bummed I missed baby bear and everybody else.

Cheers everybody! I’ll be back.

Damn it’s pretty up here.
