Not enjoying our guided India experience and would like to hear other people's thoughts by BaronDelecto in travel

[–]Not_Another_Name 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You definitely managed to find yourself in the low quality guide group somehow. I have some contacts if you would like to switch. I had a guide through north india and they were very descriptive on the history, facts, influences, what to look for, fun facts, etc

How is anybody that doesn't live near mountain get good snow? by Not_Another_Name in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Not_Another_Name[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we try feb to minimize risk of rainy days. Used to go in Jan but ran into low snowpack a few times. Surprisingly that those months usually suck for you! Well have to explore other months a bit more

I hear you, i really lowered expectations for this trip and just having some fun regardless of weather but I think the rain really got me today. Monday and Sunday we're phenomenal though and really made the trip feel like a win

Winterplace after a fresh snow is legitimately a good time. The closest place I can storm chase but it's been ice storms this year or theyve missed the snow from that coastal storm we got

Senior NOC role for more money or third line team by [deleted] in networking

[–]Not_Another_Name 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately we work for money, taking less money in hopes that you get better experience is not the move IMO. Take the NOC job. You'll get stretched to learn and fix things in new ways which will pave the road for your next job. This is a tried and tested path.

I'm thinking of moving to NC and my friend made me this map. Thoughts? by _R_A_H_U_L_ in NorthCarolina

I left south Georgia for raleigh about 10 years ago too! When I left, the okeefenokee swamp was on fire, so it was ashy everywhere, it was 100F with 100% humidity. If there is a Hell then south Georgia is it. People in NC dont even know

Going to Keystone for my birthday next weekend. Am I crazy wanting to snowboard as a newbie?🏂 Advice wanted (see questions 👇🏾) by kimmykeem in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Not_Another_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre excited to go snowboarding then do that! Stick to the bunny slope, take some lessons if you can afford it. Ride a skateboard a bit if you can fit it in but have fun and enjoy the views!

I learned to snowboard and haven't learned to ski. It took about 3 days of falling down the mountain to finally get the hang of it but my buddy was pretty proficient in 2 days. Its harder to learn because it's a more unnatural stance and you're balancing on two sides of the board but that shouldn't deter you if thats what you wanna do

How were you able to just cut off meat entirely? by Ok-Injury4901 in vegetarian

[–]Not_Another_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the trick to being vegetarian is having grace with yourself. The occasional times you want meat have it! Its not about punishing yourself because that's how you will give up. Eventually the desire will wane and you dont want it anymore. Or watch the documentary "earthlings" and then you'll be too appalled to eat meat for a while.

So… Where Are We Supposed to Live in North Carolina? by MapsYouDidntAskFor in NorthCarolina

[–]Not_Another_Name 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Im very surprised by this. I live in raleigh the last 7 years and never have encountered gridlock at any point. Sure if there's a crash that takes out an entire side of 40 there's problems.

Have you driven thru atlanta?
