I was really hoping for T4R Prime. Nothing that really makes me want to upgrade my 5th gen from 2010. It just turned 90k so plenty of life if the road salt doesn’t kill it. Now I’ll have time to...

Coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Not to have to leave my backyard for over 3 minutes of totality made it even cooler.

Well I did it. Tastes amazing. And only light high clouds for the eclipse.

Edit: Damn it, with the photo uploader not working I was hoping I could quote my old post with the Very Old Fitzgerald...

CJ’s was my first bar visit ever at 16. The waitresses at Royal’s Hearthside took me there when I started bussing tables. I can’t believe two shea’s is still running when better spots like KC’s...

I?m planning on selling my wife?s XS 26? Santa Cruz Juliana this spring. She?s about 4?-11? and doesn?t really enjoy MTB. Figured I?d sell this and her road bike (Trek Domane) and get a more gravel...

Don’t worry. States are rolling back worker protections. Texas eliminated the requirements for a water break and Florida is making it legal to work children for longer hours. Soon our corporate...

Not Mr. Jong but I think Bitcoin is essentially the world’s first too big to fail Ponzi scheme. No enforcement agency is ever going to try to dismantle it. As long as the whales can keep manipulating...

If this is in Utah can’t you just “stand your ground” when the bikers come flying down the path at you? Just don’t shoot them in the back and you should be all set. No need to be tricky with ropes...

Bummer news from Sugarbush. Over half the mountain shuts down Monday for the heavens gate chair replacement. The top and everything skiers left of lower organgrinder will be closed. And as usual they...

I was dreading the hassle of writing a complaint letter about USAA to the Vermont insurance regulators. I decided to drop a few prompts in ChatGPT. With a bit of tweaking with the prompts and some...

Not sure what to make of this one.

Lots of good service in this thread. I haven’t been so lucky, enough so I recently dropped prime. Can’t remember the last package I ordered and got within 2 days. Standard is 4-6 days and always...

Still $37 in the black.

I was the same less than 3 years ago. I started with some other exercises and built my way up. Just doing cyclic breathing will help, 5 second inhale, 5 second exhale, repeat. If you can’t do 5, do 4...

Do not under estimate the power of breath work. I could write a sweet 10 page blog on the complete turnaround in my health since doing so. I know my friends and doctors are sick of hearing me talk...

There’s a first time for anything I guess.

But then the rich would dump a ton of money lobbying politicians to make sure it was never implemented.

As DINKS we started getting hosed in our withholding over a decade ago. Since then we’ve been paying quarterly taxes. I’d rather keep the money for 3 months until I need to pay. I’ll earn the 4.3%...

Hopefully they will pay for it with bitcoin and make it extra sustainable. Might singlehandedly fix climate change.

A friend of mine got some big chunks of the old lanes when they tore down Ethan Allen lanes. Used them as counters. There is still bowling out here in the NNE, it’s just bowling for Jesus. ...

It’s now a car wash.

If you go a bit further south on route 7 you can still find good deals on bowling.

Seconded. I’ve also never been scared enough to have to walk around armed in public but if one has to, I’m fine with requiring extra training and screening for a permit to do so.

Keep going another 5 years and you’ll match me. This year I’ve skiing better than last year, continuing the trend. Pro tip: it helps to really suck when you start out and progress slowly.

The only issue with year round daylight saving time is how dark it is for schools. I still remember the one year we tried that in the 70’s. Very weird in 2nd grade starting the first couple of hours...

Well the committee did nominate you for the trip. Unfortunately they decided to have your new neighbors invite you over for tea to give you the news. Maybe next year.

BBI crew- Keep the pics...

I totally agree. I find it odd that you chose to demonstrate your logic and values by getting so upset that a couple of spots are marked for electric vehicles that you park your truck there. You do...

FIFY

Hard to motivate this morning but it was my turn to drive. Foggy all the way to the access road. First hour was a mix of sun and fog. Then nice warm sunny morning of spring skiing. MRV cleared out...

Alburgh Springs. Annoying that they were taking so long with cars. Also annoyed at myself for taking an Apple Maps suggested route, I should know better. At least I was right and it was a nice...

Gambled and lost trying to cross back via Alburgh this afternoon. Made it to a few cars away when they shut it down as scheduled at 4pm. Not sure why some cars were there for 10 minutes. Looped back...

Use it all the time. Few examples are;
-Freezing excess garden veggies and berries
-cut up the Costco 3lb blocks of cheese into smaller portions so it stays fresh longer
- I just made about 20...

So let me get this straight. I’ve got an hour drive to ski and it’s 10 degrees out. I’m to dress for skiing in 10 degree weather, taking into account I’m headed to Sugarbush and there’s a 90% chance...

I think it depends on how quickly things get bad. If we get a year with a bunch of catastrophic weather events across a wide stretch of the US maybe enough people will demand action. Sure seems like...

I’ve given up arguing about vaccines. These two images from the NYT tell the story pretty clearly. Those living in areas with lower vaccination rates are dying at a higher rate. I’ve become OK with...

XYZ is just another loser Canadian who doesn’t understand the awesome power of the USA once we set our minds to something. I don’t know why people automatically assume that nothing can be done about...

His bootstraps must be broken.

Just ran into this with the Orgain Organic protein powder at Costco. Relied on the organic label and didn’t read the fine print that it contained erythritol. Tried it once and the aftertaste was...

Is this really a big issue and happens a lot? Happened once and they put the sign up? Never happened but the safety and risk folks said a sign is a cheap way to mitigate?

Seems about as safe as the guy I worked with back in the 90’s that would read the newspaper while he drove. Full fold out across the steering wheel. Held with both hands, drove with his knee,...

Nice morning to be stuck on a lift for 40 minutes.

It was worth it.

Plus you’ll need space for the rapid response team from your local militia for when antifa invades your town.

Somehow in the 35 years since You’re Living All Over Me became one of my favorite albums of all time I had never seen Dinosaur Jr. live. Rectified that last night. Amazing show, glad to see...

Does capping STRs in resort towns reduce the cost of housing? Results in Palm Springs say yes. Poor YouTuber’s $1.5 mil property is now worth only a mil.
...

I can answer #2. He’s back in the US. Lives not too far away from me.

Santa got me an old school Far Side calender. This seems fitting for here.

I just got a learn to lock pick kit for Christmas so I guess I’m going to see if 56 is too old to learn that. Might be able to retire earlier if I can make a coupe of big scores.

Man, whatever this stomach bug was that I’m just recovering from was way worse than my bout with Covid. Laid up since Christmas Eve. Had to cancel family that was coming for Christmas. On the plus...

GL’s biggest mistake is dog shit goes under the car door handles, not on the porch. Rookie.
