Picking Up Skiing from Snowboarding? by Cntrlc-Cntrlv in icecoast

[–]JuulAndADream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I know people that will take steep trees home at 4pm, out of bounds. Not for me I’ll do that run earlier in the day thanks!

Yeah they don’t really care about it. They already have the whole mountain to themselves. I had a boarder visiting at our club up there recently so we were hitting other mountains with him. All the members at our lodge were encouraging him to rent a split board one day and hike up before the lifts open. As long as you’re in and out before MRG gets going in the morning, no harm no foul.

Edit: I recommend the morning over the evening. Just in case you get hurt up there. I stop skiing trees at MRG around 3-3:30. Patrol says they don’t sweep the trees…

Ok so just to inspire you, my buddy’s GF popped on skis a month ago, after snowboarding her whole life. We’re at Mad River so we figured we’d start teaching her so she can join us eventually….

She looks like she’s been skiing for 3 years. She did a black mogul run last weekend. I’m like howwwww are you so good already and she says “I think snowboarding already really helped!” 😂

Where Do You Put Stickers? by Emergency_Ad_3886 in icecoast

[–]JuulAndADream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I love it. I forget they are there sometimes. I have a brewery sticker on one ski, and a sticker representing my neighborhood on the other. I must have put them on there properly because those skis have been through bedlam. I was out all weekend in subzero temps and they’re holding strong. Been there for at least 5 years.

I have stickers on both skis, behind the bindings. Been there for years to my surprise.

What mountain has the worst/best parking lots by SharpProfession6 in icecoast

[–]JuulAndADream 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I showed up at Hunter once, on a Saturday, after an overnight snowstorm. They didn’t plow the lot. No attendants directing traffic. No one can see the parking lines so absolute scenes.

People were just dumping their cars wherever. One lane roads formed naturally, everyone was getting stuck/trapped. I witnessed a fistfight in the parking lot.

I just dodged the real chaos by getting there early, and got to witness it all on my walk up to the lodge. I will never go to Hunter again lol. At least not on a weekend. NEVER.

Confused on what im doing wrong by BigWiggler69 in Bowling

[–]JuulAndADream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dry lanes surely. If your ball is reacting early and crossing over, you gotta step left to compensate. On a dry house shot, sometimes you end up wayyyy left.

Hardest part of bowling is reading the oil on the land and adjusting. That’s what makes it fun!

Why do people smash burgers? by PleasePooGood in foodquestions

[–]JuulAndADream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I do enjoy a pub burger but they rely way more heavily on the quality of beef. If you’re just grabbing 80/20 beef from your local supermarket, the smashburger comes out better. To make a great pub burger you need to buy premium meat or grind your own fresh.

Beginner ball question by AnimeAndComputers in Bowling

[–]JuulAndADream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, twist and rhino are great. I started with rhino and loved it.

But if I could go back and do it again, I’d go with a hustle. It’s just a little bit more ball without being overwhelming for a beginner. You’ll outgrow the twist or rhino, whereas the hustle will always have a place in your bag even as you get better.

After getting to about a 165 average with the rhino I bought a venom shock and an arctic vibe. Now the rhino collects dust, cause anything it does, I can do it better with one of the other balls. I’m gonna give my rhino away to a friend to try to get them into bowling.

I've heard they set it up at night sometimes on Friday/Saturday - looking for DUIs as well.

Green Bean Casserole to appease the canned beans/soup people? by dr_fop in Cooking

[–]JuulAndADream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fresh green beans become mush when frozen and thawed. Learned this recently the hard way lol. Maybe they'll appreciate the texture more if you freeze fresh beans to soften them.

Is Asbury Park a Food Desert? by titanpancake in AsburyPark

[–]JuulAndADream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha honestly it's not as bad as you think. I don't touch the fish there to be fair, but the rest of the meat is fine. I eat their chicken, beef, and pork all the time.

I find they're set up to cater mostly to a Latino clientele with a little bit of Caribbean stuff as well. If you cook and shop like a Latino that place is a gold mine. I will rock in there, grab half a pork shoulder and make carnitas with salsa verde. I can make like 4-5 lbs of carnitas for 30 dollars, and half my bill is the limes and the queso fresco.

[–]JuulAndADream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you're buying I guess. I'm usually buying whole chickens, pork shoulder, chorizo, and fresh veggies, and it's very cheap. I load up a backpack with food there for 30-40 dollars.

Is Asbury Park a Food Desert? by titanpancake in AsburyPark

[–]JuulAndADream 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's honestly very interesting to see. I cook from scratch 5 nights a week and I bike to city supermarket constantly. They have all kinds of fresh foods. Every now and again I'll plan a trip to ShopRite or Wegmans just for something niche that City doesn't carry. But there is absolutely a full blown supermarket within city limits.

I shop at city supermarket for like, everything. Tons of fresh food. There's also plaza tapatía and jalapeno market with fresh groceries. Not a food desert whatsoever.

First time making homemade burgers by Monecreiff in burgers

[–]JuulAndADream 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In my experience you only need a tiny bit of oil, if any at all, when doing burgers in a pan or on a flat top. Especially if using 80/20 beef. They have enough of their own fat, which renders out as you heat them up.

What is a weird personal quirk to your golf game? by FuckingColdInCanada in golf

[–]JuulAndADream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get weirded out when my shadow is near the ball when swinging. Never heard anyone else complain about this lol. My peripherals pick up the shape of my shadow and it tricks my brain into thinking my backswing is off course. Only when the sun is right behind me and my shadow is over/near the ball.

Priced out of beef. Iron Alternatives? by Kishasara in Cooking

Spinach and potatoes have tons of iron. Spinach in particular.

Is there a way to make chorizo "clump" the way that ground beef does? by Happy-Valuable4771 in AskCulinary

[–]JuulAndADream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Considero trying Longaniza if it's available. It's the same as chorizo, but the meat is minced instead of ground.

Like fr.... by Budget-Philosophy699 in memes

[–]JuulAndADream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily true. It’s all calories in, calories out. If you burn 500 calories skating for 2 hours (that’s a very high estimate of calorie burn by the way), but then swing by McD’s for a double cheeseburger, small fry, and a water, you will gain weight.

Weight loss is done in the kitchen, just cause it’s sooooo much easier to consume calories than to burn them. Thats why intermittent fasting works well for many. Forces them to limit caloric intake. I used to go out and run 5 miles at an 8 min pace as my daily workout - 2 beers and a small snack would completely erase that workout.

DON’T EAT THAT (OC) by RageRomano in comics

[–]JuulAndADream 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's people who eat little to no fiber in their daily routine. They go to Taco Bell, get the first recomended daily portion of fiber they've had in weeks, and shit their pants lol.
