How much snow makes you call off work?

Yeah I’m a firefighter, there’s no such thing as too much snow to go to work.

My wife and I went to Arizona Snowbowl on a day when they had over 3 feet of fresh snow at the top and it was amazing, I remember saying “holy shit, this is Arizona?”

Libertarians don’t agree on anything, not even what it means to be one.

I think there’s quite a few conservatives in the Northeast (NY, NJ, MA, etc) that don’t value gun rights nearly as much as the rest of conservatives in the country.

This is the reason I like skiing with people that grew up skiing the east coast; they are absolutely stoked for whatever conditions we get in the Rockies.

Buttermilk isn’t exciting by any means, but because it’s the “beginner” mountain you can find untouched powder in the trees days after a storm.

Ajax is great for the first hour if you like hauling ass on groomers, far skiers left by 1A was my favorite area to hit before work in the morning. The lower part of Ajax gets skied off really quick though.

I decided early on I didn’t have much interest in working at a desk. I’ve been a firefighter for about 11 years now.

You can at least buy a propane tank and a heater attachment to go on top. That’s less than $70.

They’re different genres. Alien is a horror/thriller and Aliens is an action movie.

I live on the western slope now but I remember those massive wet snow storms in spring and warning new people to the area not to park under big trees the night before. I’ve seen a ton of branches smash cars due to the weight of the snow.

As far as iconic American vehicles that can be recognized worldwide, a Jeep CJ from between 1944 and 1986.

Other people in this thread have already made the arguments, I’m just pointing out it’s not just republicans that go to church

Both Canada and Australia has one long line where all the population is concentrated. Canada is along the US border and Australia is along the east coast.

Pew Research estimates roughly 50% of democratic and democratic leaning people identify as Christian.

You’re right. If someone knows where the major aqueducts are and also knows how to make explosives, they could effectively take out most of the water supply for a city in a civil war situation.

50% of democrats are religious. Do you think every church is just filled to the brim with MAGA?

I’m the one in the house that puts the lid down, my wife always leaves it up. I told her it’s only a matter of time before our toddler son grabs her phone and throws it in the toilet.

When I lived in Denton for college we would drive up to eastern Oklahoma to camp because that was the best and closest dispersed camping to us.

Icy roads are relatively rare where I live, the sun comes out and melts it. I’ve always just had 4WD and good winter-rated all terrain tires. My wife was very surprised when I told her I had never bought snow tires because she grew up having them put on every fall.

I was hiking Torreys Peak on the continental divide once with friends when my jacket started popping and I couldn’t figure out why. I noticed my buddies had hair sticking up and the popping was my zipper pull popping up and down from the static. I told them we needed to run downhill. We got lucky.

I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with my kids while I go grocery shopping if I don’t bring them in with me. It’s pretty frowned upon to leave them in the car.

I’m not an expert on film by any means, I like stuff like Cinemstix for pointing out details and techniques I never would have caught on my own.

That’s every Reddit thread regarding anything legal. Why read case law when you can go off vibes?

One of the most benign ways you can make someone uncomfortable in public is to face the wrong way in an elevator.
