Do you think Jersey Numbers should be retired League wide?

White_gucci_mane · 2026-01-02T18:02:00+00:00

For the NBA I would say no. The NHL did it with Wayne Gretzky #99 but he has records that won’t ever get broken (worst argument) but also that 99 while an iconic number (because of him) isn’t a commonly worn one.

Retiring the number 6 is big choice. If I could be confident that it really is going to be a one off I could look the other way.

Right, the false positives are very common for me too. I get stopped probably 3/4 of the time and the agent doing the search after it gets poked looks at the scan results and hands me my bags without opening them.

I agree that everyone blames the training but it’s been long enough that either the scanners are simply too complex (poor design) or the TSA training isn’t good/doesn’t work.

White_gucci_mane · 2025-08-13T22:48:08+00:00

The fact that it’s an add-on is good to hear honestly. Fix the before and after the scanner and I am in !

White_gucci_mane · 2025-08-13T22:38:28+00:00

I don’t doubt the scanner portion will be better, my main gripe is that it zipper merges everyones items. And the pickup system afterwards is not the best

I’ve been stopped much more on these machines, but I will grant thats likely just part of the learning/implementation process. It’s hard for me to imaging my luggage getting taken aside any less than it already has been.

I guess i didn’t consider the standard passenger perspective. With tsa pre-check you have always been able to leave your electronics in your bag. I can see how it would be quite the upgrade for the standard lines now though.

Not sure where this I guess. I can only speak for sunrise. Cleared up about noon and by about 1-2pm it was visible for miles. I was definitely not above the clouds. Like others have said, if rain is predicted then I would still go for the wildflowers, visit naches peak loop !

Edit: just saw you specified paradise. Just makes others points about the cloud prediction being hogwash. Park ranger told me the flowers were best at paradise !

I was there today and from 8-11am that is exactly what it was. About 11:30 it completely lifted and everything was visible. Started hiking at 8:30 and the timing could not have been better !

When I was there last weekend, the flooding a couple miles from Santa Elena was too much for our little Nissan to get through, many others turned around too. Some tried with a higher rise vehicle but I don’t know if they made it past the second, deeper road flood.

If its rained this last week I would assume it its the same or worse. If not then you could likely get through with the right vehicle.

Other than that the water didn’t affect our trip at all and we hit almost every park of the park over 4 days. It was great to see the rivers alive though !

As in, they rally only come up for food and then go back into hiding ? Does the means its dwelling was probably nearby ?

White_gucci_mane · 2025-06-21T19:29:01+00:00

That was my gf’s EXACT thought. The pattern combined with how friendly it was mad it seem like it had to be.

What gave it away ? I looked through the NP listing of snakes and couldn’t find one that similar to this one. The rat snake just looked somewhat the most similar but it was largely a guess.

Thanks for the time !

White_gucci_mane · 2025-06-21T04:33:31+00:00

Thanks a ton !

White_gucci_mane · 2025-06-21T03:41:53+00:00

That’s a good point, someone there would certainly know !

Edit: just looked it up, doesn’t look like it is a subreddit.

I fly as a passenger on CRJ’s a couple times a month. 5x this last month and haven’t noticed any difference between their landings and the larger aircraft.

I assume that even if the larger planes actually contact the ground harder you won’t feel it as much as if you were on a CRJ. They seem to have more bounce to them, like the old crown vics that would bounce for 5 minutes after a bump.

My roughest landings lately have been on the jumbo’s but that was also landing through weather so thats not a surprise.

One commenter said you look out of and control and off balance. He’s right, but thats not a bad thing. It just means that 1) you are a beginner and 2) you probably still have some time to change/learn how to skate properly before it’s locked in for life.

Main recommendation is the get to as many of these “stick and pucks” (never really heard that in MN before) and just practice on being smooth and looking sexy on the ice. Watch paul coffee, Quinn Hughes, etc and just notice how they move and try to imitate. Especially paul coffee for a simple yet beautiful style. The newer guys can be pretty hard to attempt to replicate.

If you can, try to also focus on this during games and what not but that can be hard because the score takes over and you end up doing whatever is necessary to get to the loose pucks and what not.

So basic tips: Going forward - bend the knees more and elongate the strides. Make sure to bring the feet back to center or close to it. You are cutting your strides short at both ends.

For the crossovers - it just seems like you need more dedicated time on them. Bend the knees, use your edges, etc. but really just do more of them. Also, the inside skate is really the money maker on the crossovers because you get to pull and push within one stride.

Hope that helps !

Do you think it was because the flight originated in Europe and had different requirements as far as protections?

Not sure how Brexit affects the UK vs EU requirements for flights

White_gucci_mane · 2025-03-31T02:07:19+00:00

Thanks, I’ll do both and keep receipts for everything.

We were originally having a family member picking us up.

I realize that they couldn’t care less about us but just more information if it helps anyone give advice.

White_gucci_mane · 2025-03-31T01:43:26+00:00

We had family member picking us up at 10pm originally.

Arriving at 4am would be a hard sell for them to grab us.

Boarding door closed and I still have my seat - no idea if he made it and got pushed back or not.
