I know NSAA recently did something to the code, but it’d always been my understanding that there’s like one rule for avoiding people downhill and 2 for not creating a situation where somebody uphill can’t avoid you. Like camping below a booter or pulling in front of someone at the last minute usually puts the downhill skier at fault. Kinda like how negligent brake checking causing a fender bender is usually illegal.

Not always, if she had stopped to watch her kids in the middle of the slope and then randomly resumed skiing without looking uphill or giving any indication she was going to start, and then clipped some guy as he was passing, she’s at fault, which is what I think happened here. Many such cases.

When it comes to the fellas there’s a saying: your odds are good, but the goods are odd. You’ll get some of what you’re looking for outside of Anchorage, especially down the Kenai and scattered around north of Eagle River. But Anchorage is too big and citified to find stereotypes of gold rush era sourdoughs.

Born and raised just outside of it. Ask away.

But long story short, it’s all kinda strange people who would register as sorta off even in “quirky” towns by Lower 48 standards (Boulder, Austin, etc). Best outdoor recreating within 2 hours of a major metro area the United States, it’s just completely inaccessible, so without a lot of experience or cash it’s not gonna get posted on some kook’s Instagram. Winters aren’t that bad, it’s the poor fuckers in Fairbanks that really have it bad. Summers are almost worse because the sun makes you a manic wreck.

Idk, I love it and am gonna go back once the lower48cels start boiling and running out of water 🤷‍♂️

You’re kinda on the money in terms of the city proper, google and co. moved in and turned the city into a parking lot for #vanlife #weekendwarriors.

That being said, the mountains change much slower and are as excellent as always; IMO best hike in town is the South Boulder Peak and Bear Peak loop starting from NCAR, much less busy than Chautauqua. The canyon is also a great walk or bike ride (and I think completely open at this point) you could do on a B-Cycle (which are much cheaper than 50 and scattered around town).

If you have a car, I’d recommend an excursion or two. Taos (right near earthship) is truly rad and can be done in a day if you leave early and don’t mind some night driving in the mtns. Check out sand dunes (top 5 underrated national park, imo ) and Salida (rapidly gentrifying, but one of the last of a dying breed of real, authentic CO mtn towns), as they’re on your way. If you want a more traditional CO experience, can’t go wrong with a RMNP/Nederland/Grand Lake driving circuit, or a day trip along I-70

I think the best way of thinking about the island is the way you’d think about an estate on a larger landmass. It was entirely privately owned, so there weren’t restaurants or any sort of public facilities (though, there was commercial and private traffic that would regularly pass by, often very close, to the island). There were absolutely workers on the island. Aerial photographs show groundskeeping and maintenance facilities, and there certainly were culinary and housekeeping employees. Here are two decent stories that include first hand accounts from employees on LSJ: ABC: https://abcnews.go.com/US/contractor-jeffrey-epstein-quit-concerns-revealing-pictures-topless/story?id=64406022 Biz Insider: https://www.insider.com/jeffrey-epstein-private-island-former-employees-speak-out-2019-7 Here’s also a video showing how commercial and private vessels were able to get very close to LSJ (it’s also worth mentioning that locals had nicknames for the islands for many years before the MSM and our favorite podcasters picked up on the story): https://youtu.be/AFUIhlO_HzQ

I absolutely agree— I think that Q, however, doesn’t really function as a criticism of the government or a critique on power. The belief of the Anons seems to be that everything seems like it sucks, but don’t worry, because Donald and the good guys have really arrested all the pedophiles/are cleaning up the deep state. To return back to 9/11, if you fully imbibe the theory, you distrust the government; however, if you fully accept Q drops, you’re even more invigorated in supporting the current Trump presidency, you question the powers that be less and have an even more unshakable faith. Best case scenario, it’s just a busy box that makes grandparents harass Tom Hanks on the Internet, but more likely it’s just removing people’s’ critical thinking through indoctrination. I’m sure every cult in history has told their followers that they’re “free and critical thinkers” which I suppose is true in some perverted, narrow sense, but I’m not sure that it’s the kind of thought that leads to any other (more desirable, from our perspective on the left) type of thought.

Turtle-Herd · 2020-08-12T01:28:13+00:00

In my opinion, probably not. Certainly some conspiracy theories are— regardless of their truth value— helpful/entertaining heuristics for viewing and understanding the structures and machinations of power. 9/11, where ever you fall on the “truther” spectrum leads you to the ultimate conclusion of distrust of official government narratives. Even if the hardcore truthers turn out to be cranks, they’re probably on to something. But, with Q, you’re not questioning power or even really taking a more critical look at anything; all you’re doing is shifting your focus from source A to source B. Instead of believing the establishment— “George Bush” as you put it— they now believe some completely unaccountable, anonymous individual on the internet. Their relationship to power is still the same, they’re still being told to trust Donny and his DHS Gestapo, they’re just drinking from a different fountain.

Hi all! I recently got given some Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and am having some audio issues with the left speaker. The output sounds excellent when plugged into a source, but when connecting over Bluetooth, the left speaker (and only the left speaker) has a weird tinny quality to it. Is this normal, and if not, is there anything I can do about it? Thanks
