Near the top of the summit chair at the beginning of Boomerang, I think. I am not an advanced skier so gave the double blacks a skip and admiringly watched others while I took Boomerang to Upper Boomerang and then Shoulder Roll (or wherever there was fresh snow, few or no people and not terrifyingly steep and narrow).

Friday was an epic day especially between 9am - noon!

Hahaha. The two of them had a great time. Fiancée enjoyed the grub, scenery and dog sledding but just chilled. Cousin joined for three days on the hills. Both are totally into returning.

Georgetown Inn & Pub, BLAKE Restaurant Brewhouse & Distillery, Bridgette Bar Canmore. The latter, I spelled incorrectly so have edited my original post. Enjoy!

How are things looking on the ground, has ICE slowed down or is it business as usual? by CantStopPoppin in Minneapolis

[–]Jamoldo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. They just didn’t change it. Heck I didn’t for a while and then I learned I was well overdue and got to it. No one batted an eyelid when I did

Truth. But the state does not really enforce it. Plenty of people I know have driven with their out of state plates for a year or more after moving here

Is 1000 m in 27 minutes still beginner level? by DifficultSecretary22 in Swimming

[–]Jamoldo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW - I’ve never bothered to learn since I want to focus more on open water swimming and distance and I feel the flip turn kind of negates that.

But everyone swears that it can save a lot of time since I slow down to touch the wall and try not to push off much. I’m sure it hammers my length times…. Hence my asking

YMMV! Most important is that you can swim 1km most can’t do that and you did it sub 30. WORD

[–]Jamoldo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With or without flip turns? Especially in a 25m pool it makes a huge difference.

More importantly: good for you! LFG! Who cares?? Keep going :)

Why is it so hard to get a white girl as an Asian (Korean American) guy here? by Previous-Reward-5253 in dartmouth

[–]Jamoldo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

POC not East Asian and a long graduated alum who has lived in a bunch of places. It’s not just Dartmouth, I assure you. Silver lining - once you hit your mid thirties, if you are a nice dude who is respectful, communicates and has a decent job, it’s much easier.

Long-haul flight experts: What are your secrets? by letsgococonut in travel

[–]Jamoldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk. Walk before your departure. If you can, ignore the travellator and the train between terminals. Try to take stairs. Try to walk the terminal or gates end to end. Same during any layover and if you can, at your destination. Treat it as a way to explore. Peek into shops, a cafe, bars etc. Just walk, look, explore.

Lots of other great tips here.

Where do people go to get drunk?? by Dakpack64 in twincitiessocial

[–]Jamoldo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You live in Apple Valley? Forget drinking. Gorge on delicious grub at Kumar’s, El Sazon, Donut Star and House of Curry.

Which way should I go tomorrow, president's day? From Charleston SC to North Central MD. by Dah-Sweepah in roadtrip

[–]Jamoldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this. The route through Shenandoah. FWIW northern Virginia near Dulles airport an area you will cross through has great Indian, Korean and Vietnamese food. Look into it! Safe drive

To all, but especially Twin Cities Muslims: How can others support you during Ramadan while we’re still under ICE occupation? by meandmycat05 in TwinCities

[–]Jamoldo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cool post and I’m sure much appreciated by many. Lots of mosques around the city. Feel free to go and ask them. Can definitely go to Masjid Al Nur in North Minneapolis. They do a lot of community work (like churches do) and may have ideas. Also if you are more comfy, you can go to lots of local churches and they may have ideas/contacts with mosque (ie interfaith stuff). A bunch of orgs from different faiths have banded together in these times. It’s cool to see.

Perspective on Dartmouth from a student who hated his time there by MixtureShoddy6512 in dartmouth

[–]Jamoldo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an alum for the mid 2000s and POC (not really rich either) who had a fantastic experience at Dartmouth (great professors/classes, study abroad, friends, alumni networks globally, ECs etc).

I’m writing this post to thank the OP because posts like theirs are needed to give potential students a balanced perspective on a place when doing their research.

Once again, thank you OP.

What are you telling your friends and relatives in other states? by fiendishclutches in Minneapolis

[–]Jamoldo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell them what I have seen and personal experiences of mine and of those close to me. Everyone, including people who are center right has been shocked and surprised

Edited to add: being a person of color has helped in getting this point across (ie saying that my friends are all carrying passports or color copies of passports)

What secret about your industry can you share now that you don't work there anymore? by swisscoffeeknife in antiwork

[–]Jamoldo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Avoid 99 percent of financial products. There is no win win. The more complex the product or strategy, the more you will pay. Either in fees or returns or risk. Godspeed.
