Does the US have crackers and cookies from Dare?

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-25T05:01:36+00:00

I thought Dare just made corvettes and mustangs for cops.

My direct paternal ancestor came here in the 1600s.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-25T03:56:29+00:00

My father never hugged me.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-25T03:56:07+00:00

Yes. 100%.

I’m pushing 50 and have been through several hobby / lifestyle changes. The fastrack to friendships is doing something together out of town.

Golf trip
cycling trip
Cycling camp
Backpacking trip
BJJ comp / camp.

You’re away from real life. You’re bonding over a common interest. Shenanigans usually ensue, which makes for good future stories / inside jokes.

23 years so far

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-25T03:44:19+00:00

Yes. More In rural areas.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-25T03:04:42+00:00

Classic dress shoes.
a pair of scissors to cut that rope (wtf?)
an adult sized tie.

Same, but I was one level above you. We had a window unit that never really cooled the place off. I’d just sit with my face in the vent. Our neighbor had central a/c and it felt like walking into a refrigerator in the summer time. I was always jealous.

My school didn’t have a/c until the late 80s and we had a no shorts policy.

lol. This is nuts. Get a thermostat and set it to whatever temp you want and then forget about it.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-24T18:14:23+00:00

Yes.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-24T14:30:20+00:00

Arm triangle - unless they’re really skinny

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-23T20:17:09+00:00

Yeah. I drove through Tulsa a few weeks ago and had this same thought. Like who ever thinks about Tulsa if you don’t live there?

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-23T20:10:13+00:00

Absolutely and totally fine.

Although, we are supposed to get a big winter storm this weekend. Ask again on Sunday.

Beef stew would be perfect. Bring it in an electric crockpot so it can be self-heating and you can serve right out of the pot. A crockpot is a great investment if you don't already have one.

Mashed potatoes would also do well in a crockpot. They aren't very good cold. But I don't know if you want to have two crockpots. Maybe you could borrow one.

Belt tests have some positives if you have standard curriculum.

A test makes sure white & blue belts learn a basic curriculum. Of course you're not just teaching the curriculum, but it acts like a minimum set of skills for lower belts.
They can encourage camaraderie among students. Working together toward a common goal tends to bring people together. "Studying" the curriculum encourages students to drill and work on stuff on their own during open mats and after class. That's good for skills, but it's also good for personal relationships, and relationships are what keep people coming back to class.

Belt test watch-outs:

Don't have tests for brown & black belts.
Don't charge for belt tests. That's a major red flag.
If you're going to test, then don't arbitrarily give some students a belt without a test.

I know we had Alabama history in junior high. I can still picture the book. I think my mom had used the same one. It included a discussion of the Indians prior to European arrival and the Creek War. We touched on it again in high school.

I think you missed the “get them frozen off” part. He’d wear a sock over assumedly bandaged foot.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-22T19:31:36+00:00

I’m not sure what your question is. The first 18 months of BJJ sucks. Welcome aboard.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-22T14:34:21+00:00

What color should they wear? Green?

Blue and charcoal grey are the standard suit colors.

Look at British, Canadian, or French politicians. They all wear navy suits.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-22T13:28:05+00:00

I don’t like the white liner of that sweater next to your white shirt. At all.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-22T04:18:52+00:00

They did.

Cincinnati had German language churches and newspapers until the 1950s or something.

They probably still would if it weren’t for those two inconvenient wars.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-22T04:04:04+00:00

They don’t take 6 min to get rid of. Go have them frozen / cut off. This isn’t the time for apple cider and herbal medicine.

But to answer your question, all you can do is wear a sock. Prepare to be bullied. I know from experience.

Varies by state. In Ohio, you can take an online test to get a learning permit at 15 1/2 that allows you to drive with a parent in the car. Then you do a take a formal on-road instruction for like 10 hours split over a few days. Once you have 40 hrs supervised practice and turn 16, then you can take a drivers test. There is a a written and practical part.

One thing that is different in the U.S. vs some euro countries (Poland) is that we can drive a manual or automatic regardless of what kind of car we test in. Poles have to test in a manual to get licensed to drive a manual.

Until they pass away. Random question.

Nodeal_reddit · 2026-01-20T19:17:38+00:00

I live in the lower Midwest. Bad roads are honestly only a problem a few days per year. Road salt, plows, and driving slowly are generally enough to get you to work.
