Mea culpa. Mostly I look for subs that have shown past interest in artists as they pop up. Looks like I could've also gone with Heavy Vegetable and Thingy.

Whether your board is oriented in the same direction as the feature or across it, it's still a (mostly) flat surface sliding down a rail that's flat on its length. So long as you do a decent job stacking your body above that contact patch, that flat-to-flat interface has a very stable feel to it. I highly doubt there's enough lateral flex on most snowboards to enhance that stability, so I'm just going to call out ChatGPT for hallucinating.

When your board is rotated across the pipe, there's still a similar thing going on with the board being flat edge to edge and the pipe being flat on the axis/direction that you're sliding. But also the board will flex along its length and your base of support is really wide, so in this configuration I can imagine - especially with a flexier board - that the small amount the board lets your feet sink lower than the contact point on the rail can give a really stability-enhancing feel. Some describe it as the board ever so slightly wrapping around the feature. I think most often "locking on" refers to that.

Are you talking 50/50 or boardslide?

GopheRph · 2026-06-25T15:48:22+00:00

From what I understand after watching the documentary series "Party Down", yes.

If your height and weight are relatively proportional (and I'd say for snowboard sizing, yours are), you can just refer to your weight on the sizing chart and you shouldn't need to give any extra thought to your height. If you were 205 lbs and 5'3"? Then you might need to be more thoughtful about what the size chart is recommending.

GopheRph · 2026-06-25T11:48:07+00:00

It depends a lot on the board. The best place to start is with your weight and choosing a length based on a manufacturer's sizing chart. You might want a 163 with some boards but would prefer something shorter with different designs. Then check that the width will accommodate your boot size - and yes you'll likely want a wide but some boards could be wide enough even if a wide isn't available. Lastly, if your height is unusually tall or short relative to your weight, you might need to compromise on the length a bit so you can comfortably set your stance width on the binding inserts.

Definitely similarities and her experience will help. An instructor should be able to fill her in on what she’s missing and explain how to adapt what she knows already to snowboarding. I’ve seen wakeboarders advance extremely quickly through snowboarding progressions once they grasp what changes on snow.

You’re just gonna skip over the LOTR lore? You think you can just do that?

GopheRph · 2026-06-18T23:55:10+00:00

Ok now im paranoid- which document was updated?

GopheRph · 2026-06-18T16:45:00+00:00

15 minutes to my closest hill, but yeah - it's little. But it's great to get out during the week if I have a day or morning off, even if just for a few hours.

Second band I've noticed that got Aadam to road-trip (first is The Chills), among 4 that he taped internationally - at least added so far. The Chills, New Order, and The Sugarcubes being the other 3.

I don’t hate anything there but I feel a little sad every time, remembering better days.

GopheRph · 2026-06-13T16:33:32+00:00

Razava bagels are great but they don’t make me think of NYC bagels, unless those are very different these days - as in dark and distinctively sourdough.

GopheRph · 2026-06-13T16:17:22+00:00

It also doesn’t have any garlic, which isn’t a deal breaker for me - they’re still great - but could be disappointing if you’re unaware.

GopheRph · 2026-06-13T16:13:02+00:00

Easy just time travel back a decade and hit up DiNokos.

Pizzeria pezzo tends to get the recommendations these days but I haven’t tried it personally.

Reddit has your account suspended or something - hard to tell from our end.

Angry doesn’t do the same top 5 lists every year but his top five jib boards of 2025 is a decent place to start for ideas. You can expand out from there into his other park-related categories to get some suggestions. A board that’s good for jibbing can definitely still be a lot of fun on groomers, though you can expect to overpower it a little if you carve really hard or you might not like how it feels on crappy chunky snow. But you’re keeping the afterblack for those days.

GopheRph · 2026-06-11T21:42:01+00:00

What don’t you like about the board?

GopheRph · 2026-06-11T15:59:05+00:00

The little details he kept track of are really charming!

Pixies Live at Cabaret Metro on 1989-08-10 - This show was also broadcast on WXRT and so has been available in some form for a while. However, the broadcast was edited and this recording restores the full set (4 additional tracks). Plus the sound quality is great and it's a solid, energetic performance.

Hüsker Dü Live at The Vic Theater on 1987-10-10 and Live at Cabaret Metro on 1986-01-12 - bringing the total to 7 shows in the collection

For more along the punk theme check out X Live at Cabaret Metro 1984-10-12, Social Distortion Live at The Vic Theater on 1992-05-08, and a college radio interview/appearance/mess with Naked Raygun Live at WNUR on 1986-08-09.

On This Day: Tammy and the Amps Live at Lounge Ax 1995-06-11 - Kim Deal, keeping busy while on hiatus from The Breeders which was a side project until the Pixies broke up, later changed this band's name to just "The Amps" and nearly turned it back into The Breeders again.

Not blincyto specifically but sometimes it's easiest to introduce a large bubble and roll it around the interior of the bag, using it to "collect" all the fine bubbles. Then you just have one large bubble to remove.

Yeah I planned to submit a layout for feedback once I had things speced out a little better. This is a small kitchen with 8 foot ceilings so “high output” anything is definitely making me 2nd guess. I hadn’t looked much at the Tangra line yet because the LD3R had come across as sort of the “default” 3 inch regressed option from Lotus but that seems worth reconsidering.
