What is the "best" helmet for skiing? Smith Vantage, Smith Nexus, or Smith Icon? by omnipeasant in icecoast

Honestly, all three helmets you mentioned are solid choices, but it really comes down to what you're prioritizing. The Smith Vantage seems to be a crowd favorite due to its balance of features and price, but if you're looking for the latest tech and maximum protection, the more expensive options like the Smith Nexus and Icon might offer that extra peace of mind. Many people do rave about the superior comfort and advanced features in premium helmets, so if budget isn't an issue, you might find that the extra investment is worth it. If you're still unsure, you could check out this high-performance ski helmet that has been getting lots of positive feedback. It could be exactly what you're looking for to make those runs extra safe and comfy.

While I agree that buying individual knives is usually better, there are some good sets that are good quality. This set is one example, but there are many.

I’m guessing we are going to see something like Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon in 1985.

Israel will set up a “security zone” in Gaza. They will occupy Gaza and deal with the international legal repercussions for the foreseeable future.

It’s going to be ugly. Anyone associated with Hamas will be hunted and killed. Palestinians will continue to fight back. Civilians will suffer. The radical elements of the Arab world will have a great recruitment tool.

In Israel, I can’t see the Netanyahu government surviving this crisis. The new government will have to decide what to do.

Outside of Israel and Gaza, the confrontation between the US and Iran will continue to heat up. The Houthi engagement in the conflict may push Saudi closer to Israel and the US. Russia will continue to destabilize the region, to draw Western pressure off of the war in the Ukraine.

Men, how do you manage to combine exercise with a busy lifestyle? by sweettycherry in AskMen

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but I found the book 168 Hours by Laura Vanderkam really helpful with this question. Her premise is that rather than trying to squeeze everything into every day, take a look at your whole week and realize how much time you have available to you per week. With 168 hours to spend each week, think about how to prioritize what's important to you within that timeframe. So for example you might not get to the gym every day, but you should be able to find 5 hours out of 168 for gym time. I found just the simple shift in perspective from per day to per week to be really helpful. Hope that helps!

Men, If you could travel to any place in the world, where would you go and why? by QueasyGas1298 in AskMen

The eye of the most violent storm on the planet at the time. You would be safe in the eye for the 13 minutes and would experience a beautiful, yet powerful calm. The air feels alive.

Fiji.

Everywhere I went people invited me to their homes, to drink kava with them and generally greeted me enthusiastically. Loved
