That study was debunked a long time ago.

FKNA Mikey, go get 'em!

Hope I get to ski some soft snow Sunday at Eldora.

that was amazing

For one, the scenario was people empowered to enforce rules (the example was employees of a nordic center). When someone with authority (even employee of the business where you are) tells you to...

Ah. The NYC show in December 89 had Blues Traveler and Phish trading sets. Insane show.

Working from home has definitely upped my need for slippers.

Ukranian National Home in NYC in December 89?

The Padded Room has scooped all my usual sources. Nothing yet on ESPN or The Athletic.

oh no.

We have lost a giant.

RIP.

Huh? People get in car accidents all the time and fault is assigned. Accident doesn't imply that there was no reason (and thus no fault), accident implies only that what happened wasn't intended or...

Pretty much. And have a mask with you just in case someone zealously enforces the rule in places where it's unnecessary.

"Hey, you need to have a mask on!"
"Ok, sorry." *puts mask on*

Seems...

I'm already sick of the Bernie memes. Then I saw this one.

Don't hit anything, that's really the key.

Bmills, how did it work out for you?

I am optimistically planning a July vacation, and autoslash has already saved me ~$100. Granted it's in bits and pieces and has required I book 4 or 5 times...

My dad had his appointment canceled as well.

I'm not addressing volume, as in how loud people are. Most people I see who are with companions talk quietly, so as not to disturb others. But they still talk. My understanding is that the...

Really? I grew up riding the NYC subway to school, and until 9 months ago took the bus to work every day for the last 7 years, and my experience is that everyone in the US who is on public...

I never had anything like that (and it's not like I had an objectively shoddy education, quite the opposite). Thankfully, I was always naturally good at finance/numbers, and I bounced one check in...

Our education system should absolutely have required curriculum in high school that addresses finances, from credit cards to checking accounts to loans (mortgages and car loans) to investing. So many...

I think it will just take some adjustment time (as is often the case when you switch phones). As someone who owned both for 2 years each, the Pixel 3 is far superior and I don't even remember what...

Not just mask wearing. My understanding is that it's generally understood that you don't talk on the subways. Talking obviously sprays out more droplets and sprays them farther. Staying silent and...

Don't know if there is a different "S5", do you mean the Samsung S5? Because the Pixel 3 is light years better (I owned an S5 and have a Pixel 3). Less bloatware and a far superior camera.

I have a little beta on where some nearby turns are, but yeah, I don't think it is a prime bc skiing hut. But it's pretty pimp with amenities not in most huts, and a short skin in so doable for...

in again. this time I'm gonna be rich!

since hut trips were mentioned in this thread, if anyone is interested in a weekend hut trip to a pretty cushy hut, with running water and dogs allowed, I recently canceled the 3rd weekend in...

Sun Ra and his Arkestra played a show at my college and it was one of the most insane musical things I have ever experienced.

A bunch of my ultimate team was at the show, and the next day, powered...

Cheers to that.

wow, that must have been cool. I have seen Stanley Clarke a few times, once or twice with Return to Forever and once or twice with his own band. Dude kills it on bass.

that is a great one that is probably mostly forgotten.

It was stunning.

There was a part of her poem that very clearly gave a nod to MLK's I have a dream speech.

Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

I know you two have a sexual tension thing going on, but a) lay off the threats of violence, and b) using someone's real name in this fashion isn't exactly doxxing, but isn't appropriate either. You...

I'm not a scientist nor am I an epidemiologist. I have learned that when those are the topics, I should keep quiet and listen to the experts.

If 2 purported experts sharply disagree, I use...

why do you hate America?

A day late, my daughter and I watched the whole MLK "I have a dream speech". The piece that often gets played, the part I am super familiar with, is only about 1/3 of the whole thing. I am not sure...

Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.

No reservation system. Just advanced ticket sales and the possibility of sell outs/no day-of window sales.

It is possible to get scammed with a cashier's check, but I don't think that's very likely with a neighbor. Unless you're getting scammy vibes or the check is from a bank that you're unfamiliar...

In Colorado, you are definitely supposed to remove the plates, they stay with the owner not the car. Don't know if that is universal or not.



Since he said it was a neighbor I was assuming...

Your state DMV (or maybe it is county DMV) may have info on their website, I know ours does. But typically signing over the title is all that is needed, I think; maybe a bill of sale too? It may be...

Damn it!!

covid hut trip?

If you haven't used your Ikon pass, you can still defer it, I believe. But if you have used it and now have second thoughts, you are SOL.

wood chips!!!

Mustonen, if the gloves MS sends you don't work for you, I will donate to a shelter to give them a shot.

that was my first thought as well.

I AM NOT YOUR DOCTOR AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR THING!!!

Yeah, some people clearly have different wiring than I do, I have never sent a single dick pic ever.
