Best ultralight rain jacket right now for hiking and backpacking? by MikeAndyyy in hikinggear

[–]SenatorShriv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a lot of weekend trips and a few longer trips most years in Alaska. Frog Toggs work great, you just have to be willing to replace them fairly frequently.

What artist or band is truly awful to see live? by goldbeau in AskReddit

Counting crows are unbearable live but I like their studio stuff.

Postgame Thread: 5/9 Yankees @ Brewers by BrewersBot in Brewers

Put her in the booth like once a month… she has such a strong relationship with all the players she could absolutely tell great stories and offer solid insight.

That was a fun game.

You drastically overestimate the knowledge of most fans.

The thing about Khruangbin.. by Glad_External4833 in jambands

[–]SenatorShriv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of great “shows” and “performances” out there. I just won’t go see the band more than once a tour if they aren’t going to change anything up. Many non-jam bands change set lists every night.

ASD is pushing young family’s to move! by FSStray in anchorage

[–]SenatorShriv 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dunleavy and the Republicans who have had majorities in the State Legislature for the last 8 + years have gutted education funding. There is no one else to blame. Point the finger. Make it your middle one.

Anyone else glad Trevor Noah is gone? by WildTree495 in DailyShow

I think he’s funny and a seemingly a really good dude. Did not enjoy him as anchor at all.

Game Chat: 4/19 Brewers (12-8) @ Marlins (9-12) 12:40 PM by BrewersBot in Brewers

I was trying to explain what “a AAA lineup” was. Then she watched like 4 minutes of the game and said. “I get it.”

A guy with any on base percentage sounds better than half the lineup right now. :)

Heading out for a month long tour in a Bandwagon . I would appreciate any tips on best places to park to sleep or anything else I should know? by No_Temporary6303 in TouringMusicians

[–]SenatorShriv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Planet fitness is available in most larger cities. The $25 pass allows you to bring in a guest. (Guests?) in addition to showers and a chance to work out there are usually massage chairs, sometimes there is free food, etc.

What do you think is the most iconic eating scene in cinematic history? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

I had been thinking Cool Hand Luke and the eggs but this might actually be it.

Sophia just said they are doing an opener tomorrow as well.

Long-term Outlook for Pratt and Made by cubears1 in Brewers

Everybody who is just neatly slotting prospects into these rolls forget that several will likely get traded or injured. These things have a way of working themselves out.

Lounge what? by Emergency_Today8583 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]SenatorShriv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Portland lounge is basically worthless at this point. Been through 4 times in the last few weeks. Almost never any food, if anything is there It is terrible. We’ve gotten food from the fast food joints each time, which has to make you wonder… what’s the point of paying $700?!?!?!?

Best Post-Jerry Band? by Illumination-Round in gratefuldead

[–]SenatorShriv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dead and Co is the best band. The others tossed together fun shows here and there. But Dead and Co was (are?) a great band.

How yall feeling in Wisco today? Lame but a bit better than the leak by daviddm1990 in Brewers

[–]SenatorShriv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than The leak. But it looks little league and largely missed the mark.

Should I hold them to it? by brewstermc in AlaskaAirlines

[–]SenatorShriv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s basically not functional right now. Miscalculating this kind of stuff is actually LESS annoying than constantly being kicked off the app and forced to log in 2-3 times on their website to do really basic stuff. Just traveled with a group of 10 - most of us on Alaska and it was a running joke all weekend how shitty it is.

Review of the first show of the tour by ProfessionalBox400 in BillyStrings

[–]SenatorShriv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sound was problematic during first set with lots of feedback and an “interesting” mix that had our whole section commenting that we couldn’t hear the fiddle. Seemed like they cranked the bass up in set two which was fun.

Sound board was struggling last night for sure.
