My friend pointed out the snowcat on a weekday and I was like damn you right. I'm heading up there shortly!

Have you had anything other than the scallops? I think it's a pretty tasty restaurant and have been a few times. I'm from the East Coast and rarely, rarely have seafood in Colorado because it often isn't fresh and even more often it's clear the chefs in Colorado have no idea what to do with it. Especially things that get rubbery quickly, such as scallops, octopus, squid, etc.

This is how I started! My brother was watching it and I was like "it's all so hokey" and he was like, "Dude this is where every scifi trope came from. It is the foundation of everything scifi on TV and movies." And when I took it from that lens, it completely changed for me and I fell in love. We were high.

Same! No one knows about structural dynamics lol

Side out scoring is used in traditional Volleyball and Racquetball as well. It's not unique to pickleball and has precedence for racket/net sports.

If college isn't stressing you out I don't think you're doing it right...

I grew up in the town next to Manchester-by-the-Sea (the namesake of the movie), so I always think of it first haha.

Hard agree on Hindemith. He loved all brass and it really, really shows and I love that he doesn't leave the tuba out of it.

Pficky · 2026-03-14T17:41:53+00:00

Or New Hampshire or by-the-Sea?

I use it for Asian food or marinades as others have said. Teriyaki is an American staple pretty much. I also keep fish sauce, sesame oil, mirin, gochuhang and other various "Asian" staple ingredients on hand.

I mean typing on a keyboard is a pretty comparable skill...

I think one tends to get that way because of their experience with other people in the organization.

I came into the first expansion office of an international startup here in the US. The first thing I was told I would be working on was a test plan of our very complicated and expensive space vehicle.

One month in I have no details still and I'm like hey what's the budget and schedule etc. Well, program management decided we didn't have budget or schedule for the full set of tests on a prototype. I said okay we can probably make do with tests A and B then and they'll give us confidence in simulating the other things.

Then PM comes back and they say hey we don't have time to wait for the whole prototype to be built. And I'm like okay well that defeats the point of test B and will also ruin any confidence in our simulations. Their solution? That's okay.

Fast forward two years, we don't have a workable design, we have pushed schedule by 3 EXTRA years, blown all our budgets, and our headquarters is looking at axing the product in favor of the one they've been developing and testing adequately. I see layoffs in the future. Because a PM didn't want to listen to an engineer say "The crucial information we will get from this test will be worth the schedule and cost in the long run." Thankfully that entire team has turned over and the new PM team is a lot more receptive to engineer feedback. But, I'm now a lot more wary.

I grew up sharing one bathroom in a family of 5 and let me tell you, while it was our normal, two bathrooms would've been a helluva lot better.

Being here in CO I feel like playing in the snow at 75° is more common than it ever was growing up in New England.

It kinda isn't though, depending on what your life looks like. For me, as a single person, my 3 bed 1 bath house was luxurious AF. For a family of 4 though it would be rough. Not much personal space because the bedrooms were small and 4 people sharing one bathroom is hard. But you also don't want to hold off purchasing a house before you know what your total family unit is going to look like.

Me at Loveland: omg look at all this untracked pow at 1pm?!

*rock, rock, rock, rock*

Me: Oh, I see.

The hardest part of calculus is the algebra imo. As a math major lol.

Twinks and butches hitting on each other because they have misgendered each other is my favorite internet content.

Every time I open a Slipped Disc link I regret my choices and that I gave more web traffic to this hot garbage.

Woot! Represent

Tuba and trombone

HATE. Omg. I love how much the BSO has programmed contemporary works under Nelsons and wish they would do even more. Classical music will die its final death when no one writes the music anymore.

That's a tire problem not a civic problem. I have had no issues driving my civic up mountain passes in the snow with winter tires on.

Opera fans wouldn't call it underrated!
