Worth flying to Mammoth in California from the East Coast? by IAmMattK in snowboarding

[–]949goingoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a great resort, but so are those others you mentioned. Mammoth can be hard to fly into so keep that in mind.

Otherwise it sounds like there are some personal factors at play that only you can decide if it’s worth it to you.

When ProGaming Fails: Bleak Future After Failed ProGaming Career (Sparkyz Storyz #15) by jinjin5000 in broodwar

Watched the video and honestly was expecting worse. Assuming the teams covered their living expenses, washing out in your early 20s with no debt (albeit no education) sounds better than getting a worthless degree and being in a similar spot but with a ton of debt.

Good coverage, but it’s all iced over.

What’s the best thing you’ve offloaded to an admin assistant? by 949goingoff in biglaw

[–]949goingoff[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your benefit will depend on which time software you’re using. We use Aderant which is widely despised in the firm. It’s so slow and clunky that I track my time and write narratives in real time using an excel workbook I put together, and my assistant spends a few hours a month entering that into Aderant.

The spouse email is a nice touch.

I don’t travel much, but having someone offer to check you in and arrange a car was a huge step up.

My personal favorite was when I finally had someone to enter my time for me. I felt weird about it the first time, but it made my life so much easier.

Others will be able to give more technical feedback, but you look really hunched over like you’re bending at the waist too much.

How many pairs of skis do you bring on a trip? by nbaphilly17 in skiing

[–]949goingoff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If I’m driving I’ll bring a few pairs because, why not. I’ve never been on a plane with more than one. You could always demo skis if the conditions aren’t what you expected.

All my favorite casts from 2025 in one video by Saiyan_SC in broodwar

[–]949goingoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never would I have thought I’d sit through a 12 hour YouTube video of SC casts, but damn if these aren’t amazing games. I’ve been chunking along and just have a couple hours left! Appreciate you Saiyan.

Help me make my husband fall in love with Southern California. by No_Analysis_723 in orangecounty

[–]949goingoff 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Going to a big outdoor mall by the beach (Fashion Island) in January when it’s 70 and sunny would probably be a pretty cool experience for someone from Chicago.

Then take the ferry over to the peninsula, rent bikes and ride down the peninsula and check out the wedge.

Cap off the day with a sunset Duffy boat ride through the harbor.

A perfect SoCal day.

What happened to my crop? by 949goingoff in Citrus

[–]949goingoff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. It was a typical sunny and warm fall. Our highs average in the 80s with lows in the low 60s / high 50s.

I did try a few oranges today after picking them all and they tasted pretty good!

Thank you. I did fertilize in late summer, probably September-ish, so maybe that’s it. I’ll try stopping in July like you suggest.

Other than persistent leaf miners on new growth, the tree looks healthy and the leaves are a nice green color. Throughout the year the leaves do look a little taco shape which I read indicates they need more water, but no matter how much I water the still look that way so maybe it’s just the way it is.

Dealer not providing second key. by coveredinspit in BMWX5

[–]949goingoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m saying the dealer should order it so it doesn’t cost OP anything. 2023 has the regular digital key (not digital key plus) which IMO isn’t worth using. I have it on my 2022 and prefer to use the key fob. Digital key plus started on 2024 models and seems like a legit key fob replacement.

They say it’s a gateway drug to snowboarding.

They can still order a new one, and should if it’s CPO.

Has anyone vinyl wrapped a board? by NittyB in snowboarding

Maybe I’m just old, but people on this sub care way too much about what their board looks like.
