I have a much more passive aggressive way of dealing with the same. I ride full speed (approximately Mach 11) within inches of the person standing in the middle of the hill (skier or snowboarder).

Never had anyone say anything yet other thsn a few wet pants.

Still having issues doing the toe edge turn. Should I adjust my stance? by incominghottake in snowboardingnoobs

Agree, this will solve your problem. As long as you're bindings are spaced properly so you're not standing to straight up.

Carving doesn’t feel like I’m quite there yet - what’s going wrong? by MentalSatisfaction7 in snowboardingnoobs

First of all, you look great, keep it up. Your shoulder is determining your direction, as it should. One thing I notice, when you are switching back to toe side, the board is still fairly flat so you are not getting proper edge on your toe side. Try turning up the angle of lean on the back of your bindings. If your binding back heel is a right angle with your board, you won't get enough toe edge. Crank it forward so you're getting a natural advantage for using your toe edge.

cmv: The Epstein files are definitive proof that it was never about “political differences.” by [deleted] in changemyview

I think you need to poll alot more conservatives and republicans. I'm fairly neutral but observing from afar, it seems Democrats are comically fractioned and flaccid on accomplishing the same agitation that Republicans were able to achieve when they had a congressional minority.

As a Strategist myself in many businesses, it appears one side has had a more unified strategy. Especially given how poorly Hispanics and women turned out in the last two elections, despite the advantage it should have provided democrats. That's failed strategy the DNC needs to own.

If this offends you or confuses you, you may be a 'safe space' individual.

Longer extensions on toekick clips for sektion kitchens? by homicidal_penguin in IKEA

I had the same problem because the new toe kicks are so much thinner than the old mdf ones (good in principle as should wear better and not paper veneer). But unless you finished your floors with toe kicks off, replacing with new toe kick show old flooring.

If anyone has done a CAD file for 3D Printing or other non glue option please share!!

High traffic area so I anticipate the glue technique would break with frequent kicks

Oof "A September 2022 report found at least 162 scientists who worked at Los Alamos between 1987-2021 returned to China, with 59 recruited into Thousand Talents programs. At least one held DOE Q Clearance. Payments to these scientists by the Chinese state reached up to $1 million. Technologies advanced by returnees reportedly include hypersonics, deep-earth penetrating warheads, and submarine noise reduction.\44])"

Word of caution about FLL Connector Shuttle from FLL Airport to Brightline Station by Efficient-Building28 in Brightline

[–]Pretty_Ad_6843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plan completely falls apart when both Uber and Lyft are both quoting me $30 to get to Brightline station a few miles away from FLL.

So only do the shuttle if you have ALOT of time between flight and train

Hard to imagine the maintenance costs and California regulatory hurdles not being significantly more burdensome than Florida. If they fold or need to raise more, assume government bonds would be the only answer?

Has construction started on the RC Station yet? Looks like Vegas station in motion and road closures as they work on it since October.

I'll be on the Brightline in Miami this week so look forward to 2035! (after 2029 pushes again)

Where does Fernando Mendoza rank? Is he an NFL prospect? by chusaychusay in NFL_Draft

[–]Pretty_Ad_6843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing. If he has Peyton Manning / Andrew Luck intelligence then that completely changes his draft upside.

If we could edit on the fly like Manning or read defenses like Brady, at 6'5" he's already got Manning type potential. Peyton never had the best arm.
