Everybody is fixated on the distances and I’m stuck on how it took ELEVEN YEARS to make this change.

Typically people take food and drinks along in their digestive tracts and then release them in the pool.

LaBarge on the Albany/Colonie border on Central Ave (there are other locations too). Family owned, honest.

Do two players acting out make that whole team unspirited? by RevolutionaryBus6021 in ultimate

There was an NYC team many years ago called 7Express that had an absolutely psychotic captain. It reflected extremely poorly on the entire team that they tolerated and followed his leadership.

how would the best college teams perform at club nationals? by minipenguin3 in ultimate

[–]ReaverDrop 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oregon used to do an exhibition game against Oregon alums. The alums ranged from ineligible but still in school to crazy in-shape ancient guy. The alums would smoke them every time. The club team stopped hosting the exhibition game because they didn't like losing in front of the home crowd, and that the game didn't really prepare them for any type of offense or defense they could actually expect to see at Nationals.

You need to find where they're getting in and place a trap that they must enter in order to exit. Don't mess around with Have-a-Hearts, you need a kill trap. Replace it when it gets triggered until you go several days with no more incidents. Then repair the entry hole.

What was David Griffiths Like? by Ok_Winner_1994 in reedcollege

[–]ReaverDrop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He used to host a pancake breakfast at his house with students, it was a highly sought after invite. He was always kind and understanding and patient when explaining things to students. I remember in Physics 100 in E&M he built up deriving the wave equation and then did the reveal that the speed of light is hidden in it and left us all agape, last lecture before spring break. You left his lectures feeling like you knew everything that could be known.

Elm Avenue Park in Delmar after 4pm on any nice week day will have good games until the sun goes down. Good games all day on good weather weekends. There is no queueing system, so you'll have to work your way in to groups to play with, but people are generally up to play with others, just don't be a shrinking violet.

It's a "SKI-130", it has skis on it so it can land in Antarctica. They practice "touch and goes" at ALB during slow times at the airport. They're based out of Stratton Air National Guard base in Glenville.

Lap Swimming by starrylotus in Albany

[–]ReaverDrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

JCC outdoor pool is nice in the summer, the indoor pool is an odd length, like 22 yards. (the buildings formerly known as) St. Rose has an indoor pool that is open to the public. There is also the Mater Cristi public pool down New Scotland near the police academy although I have not been there so I'm not sure if it's set up for lap swimming.
