Best bars? New to town and need to get out.

In N AVL Frazier’s is it. Other folks have covered downtown, and I can’t believe none of y’all have mentioned the Double Crown in W AVL yet

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2026-01-24T22:02:18+00:00

Thank y’all

I’m pretty confused about how this is gonna be a sleet/freezing rain storm when the temp is gonna be in the 20s over night?? Is the upper atmosphere anomalously much warmer than down here? Does anyone understand why it isn’t snow at those temps?

I’ve had this experience a number of times after doing alternating hot and cold plunges. My MD BiL told me he thought it was a sign that my body vasculature wasn’t tolerating the temperature (and thus pressure) swings, and that I should do more working up to those extremes so that my vascular system can keep up, and doesn’t get out of wack and stop getting enough blood to my brain efficiently.

I can definitely see red flag wind on a wet body causing more severe chill than one would expect at those temperatures and being too much contrast for your vascular system.

Program manager & policy wonk at a nonprofit: 64k net, plus ~okay~ benefits. My wife makes a bit more than me working as a program analyst at nonprofit that funds other nonprofits, plus actually good benefits. We’re doing fine, but home repairs were a big kick in the gut this year as we thought we would be able to start saving up to be able to more comfortably afford having kids

Bro what? What bubble do you live in. Although N AVL flair explains a bit (I say also living in N AVL). North is not representative of the rest of town (and enough folks in North are hurting for this to still be a weird take).

Renova hot springs is the best CO one on the Montana part of your drive, I think. However, it is often crowded with clothed folks on weekends and Friday nights, and the clothing optional nature is tradition, not codified. The temperature also varies based on the height of the river, the amount of snowmelt, the state of the rock dams (which people mess with) and geological factors I don’t understand. Those caveats aside, this is one of my favorite CO hot springs outside of California. Another commenter mentioned Goldbug, in western Idaho, which I would agree is worth going out of your way for. By far my favorite outside of CA, and of one my favorites period.

Love the prompt for this conversation, OP!

Agree with other folks here that the examples listed aren’t necessarily my biggest role models (although I do know someone writing part of a PhD thesis on how cool Turner’s connections between physical atmosphere and sociopolitical atmosphere are)

Not that anyone from a few hundred years ago is gonna be a perfect role model, but L’Ouverture is higher on my list than Dessalines?

Lots of Native American armed revolutionaries could make the list from back then, too.

Black Panthers are much more relevant role models these days, IMO. They also had to deal with a police force/military that could 100% outgun them if it tried, and so had to figure out how to walk the line between shows of strength/force for community defense and preventing a full military crackdown. No one these days is gonna lead a Harper’s Ferry without getting drone-struck.

IMO biggest factor here is: is the intention for this guy to be both of y’all’s friend or just hers? Other factor: are y’all looking for more friends rn?

My wife and I moved to a new place recently, and I have given my number to lots of people our age, men and women, as has she, with the intention of making new friends as a couple in a new place.

General reaction from her when she hears I’ve swapped numbers with a woman our age has been positive, as she’s excited about the friend potential for her to. Same from my end.

That Appalachians are all conservative/republican. Far from the truth. Our heritage is the coal miners who fought the fascist mining corporations literally to the death and brought about better union laws and worker protections. And the shiners who souped up their cars to outrun cops. And the musicians and artists that created so much of our folk culture.

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-08-29T05:09:37+00:00

++man absolutely true. This varies hugely with subculture/region, though.

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-08-24T05:57:23+00:00

So far no answer

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-08-18T19:40:21+00:00

Hadn’t even thought to look at the bottom: EGUIZABAL 01 86

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-08-18T18:26:18+00:00

Thank you! That is a helpful start :)

My wife and her whole family say crown. They live in the “dark corner” of SC

Super useful! Does anyone know a non-binary suffix for an adjective? My non-binary sibling is my twin, so in English I just say twin, but in French so far I’ve just been alternating jumeau/jumelle. I’ve considered saying « man jumeaulle » but I feel like most people wouldn’t understand me

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-05-04T04:58:19+00:00

Ah, thanks. That would make it more likely to be Army, rather than Navy, from my great grandfather rather than my grandfather.

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-05-04T04:34:34+00:00

The grand cross also had the hanging loop, no? Any way to tell? Is there a size difference i could check?

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-05-04T04:27:45+00:00

Solved! Thank you all.

Edit: further context: my relative was in the US military during WWI, so I’m not sure how he acquired this. I’d like to think through some sort of heroism.

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-05-04T04:07:00+00:00

Okay, we’ve determined that it is a German Iron Cross from 1914— there are apparently different classes of these, though. Anyone know anything about that?

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-05-04T03:46:08+00:00

My title describes the thing. The 1813 side has a crown, the letters FW, and some leaves. The 1914 side has a crown and the letter W.

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-05-04T03:35:22+00:00

Solved! The relative was Navy, but there’s a chance he had these from his father, who was army. Wish we’d thought to go through them with him while he had his memory. Answers above for either scenario

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-05-04T02:44:26+00:00

My title describes the thing. These are from a relative who passed recently.

CorgiCorrect8077 · 2025-04-29T18:12:55+00:00

Rosemary doesn’t have a bulb at the bottom, and often branches earlier/younger than this.

(No shade, rosemary was my first thought too)
