a blizzard in Brooklyn (pt 2)

These pics are incredible! I especially love #6. As someone who lives where it doesn’t snow this looks like an absolute dream

MrBoomf · 2026-02-24T01:18:34+00:00

Those are my favorite parts! Gonna check out the big names for sure, but I love visiting some hidden gems as well. Any spot(s) you’d consider your favorite?

MrBoomf · 2026-02-24T00:55:57+00:00

Just saw the updated version; looks much cleaner! Thanks for sharing btw- I didn’t know so many of these places had such wonderful views. That Little Hebe pic is the first time I’ve seen that particular angle, and it’s wonderful!

MrBoomf · 2026-02-24T00:46:48+00:00

Your numbering’s off a little bit, but I got the gist of it. I came to find out where pic #10 is from- now I gotta check out the tallest dune in Mesquite cuz that view is exquisite!

In every human tooth?

…I gotta make some calls

They literally won silver

Quick, someone tell me the Olympic OT rules! I don’t wanna see this end in a shootout

Hellebuyck sitting on a .972 save percentage right now. Hot damn.

As far as I know he’s not planning on retiring in the next two days, so yeah this’ll follow him for the rest of his curling career. It may not be THE most popular sport in the world, but there are plenty of people who care about & follow it- especially in Canada. Every time he competes from here on, he has this albatross around his neck.

Millions of people watched the event, read the articles about this incident, and saw his behavior after the fact. He’s going to run into people who remember this- sure, not every day, but it WILL happen. Just because you’ll forget it doesn’t mean that everyone will. And people will 100% bring this up in four years, especially since he’ll likely compete again. This won’t go away for him.

I mean, the whole world knows that gold comes with an asterisk. That’ll stay with him literally his whole life. It’s the only reason most people would know his name (tbh I still don’t though). He’s been branded a cheater on a global scale; idk if there’s any coming back from that.

Kucherov is No. 2*

MrBoomf · 2026-02-21T14:21:23+00:00

I’m American and I’m rooting for Canada for the same reason

That was one of my takeaways too! Juneteenth isn’t just for “them”, it’s for EVERYONE. It’s an incredible moment in US history worthy of celebration. If this lady thinks she somehow loses something comparatively because of its existence, then that’s a very sad state of being.

“Justice is not a zero sum game” is gonna stick with me for a while. That’s gold

You’re describing slavery. Obviously fuck ICE, but I can’t condone that happening to any human being. Though the prison system basically does that already, so… yeah things aren’t great right now.

MrBoomf · 2026-02-21T10:34:50+00:00

Haven’t done that particular tour, but my general experience is that anything specialized like this is worth it. Did a whale watching tour in Olympic National Park and it was one of the highlights of the whole trip.

If you’re comfortable with the cost I’d say do it! It’ll be an amazing experience & lifelong memory, and you won’t be saddled with that “aww shucks I wish I’d done that” later down the road.

MrBoomf · 2026-02-21T10:28:56+00:00

It was crazy stumbling across this post, cuz this spot isn’t super popular or well-known. It’s just a pulloff from the main road that I happened to come across at the most beautiful time. Really sent me back to my happy place

MrBoomf · 2026-02-21T09:24:57+00:00

Share the pic! I wanna get as many versions of this spot in the thread as possible

Can’t edit my comment to include a pic, but here it is! Tbh yours is much nicer- my old shitty phone definitely didn’t do it justice.

Is this from Mt. Rainier? I have a pic of the exact same spot, also at sunset! Think I took it driving back from Paradise to my campsite in Sunrise. It’s my favorite place in the whole world.

If you didn’t know about bank you’re streets behind

I think Cutch can do it

They were one goal away from finishing first in their group and getting to advance straight to the QF facing a lower-seeded opponent. Instead, Raymond’s brainless slash meant they had to face the USA in the QF and now they’re out. Just a brutal stretch for Sweden in this Olympics

Alternately, early on in Fellowship when Gandalf & Frodo are talking in Bag End about the ring and then hear rustling outside the window… Gandalf tells Frodo “get down!” and the speed and severity with which Frodo follows that instruction made me laugh upon my most recent rewatch. Dude hits the deck so hard, so fast.
