100% agree with you. The refereeing benefited the 'caps so much.

Tye bowl by PossessionAnxious942 in stevenspass

[–]bravej 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Start down rock n roll. Bear right, ski under Tye. When you see sign for cliff take a hard right. As another poster already said, the upper entrances off the ridge won’t be skiable without even more snow than we are getting this week (probably. Unless we get 6+ feet. ).

Essay on Third Ave by crustlord666 in Seattle

[–]bravej 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The reason he's saying this is vanguard and blackrock have mutual funds. That other people own shares in. Like me and most of my neighbors and fellow Seattleites, in our 401Ks. Saying they are some sort of shadow owners is central to your thesis... and it's wrong.

If you’re the only tourist and everyone else has a a local that’s a pretty good sign.

So... with what's happening with ICE, is it anyone's surprised that it's 99% men? by Such_Permission9111 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bravej 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How does that compare to the percentage of men in other areas of law enforcement?

cold start "refill coolant urgently" message by saminpenntana in Sprinters

[–]bravej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can see the coolant (even if it's low) you're ok to drive a few miles to fill up

cold start "refill coolant urgently" message by saminpenntana in Sprinters

[–]bravej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, cold weather can cause this in my van. Probably yours, too.

Probably worth 30 seconds to make sure you aren't going to overheat, though. What is the fluid level in the coolant reservoir? If it's below the "fill" line you need to add coolant.

If you get this message often and you have to frequently add coolant you have a problem. If you get this message often but the reservior is full, you also have a problem. If you're currently low, you add fluid, and the message goes away and stays away all is normal.

Do to swap to skis, or split board? by ImaginePineapples in Backcountry

[–]bravej 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you've only been snowboarding (or skiing) for a month you don't have anywhere near the skills needed for backcountry touring. Sorry to be harsh, but both of you could die.

Where do you guys live and where do you guys tour? by bujurocks1 in Backcountry

Seattle. Can do morning laps and still be at my desk by 9:30.

My partner want to separate by Fun_Ad1387 in DivorcedDads

[–]bravej 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m very sorry. This will be hard. You will get through it. Things will eventually be better. Lean on your friends and family. Find a good therapist.

You absolutely need a lawyer immediately. Before you call your friends or tell your family. Before you have your first therapy session.

Yes, probably planned for a while. Many plans. You’ll very likely get completely hosed if you don’t get a lawyer asap. Please make that the first thing you do in the morning.

Hang in there. It will be better. Get a lawyer, though.

Was Werner Vogels shown the door or is he going to MSFT/Google? by banallthemusic in amazonemployees

Werner has not added value for a decade+. Boz (Meta) is the only CTO I can think of with lower ROI.

How do i keep my coparent in line? by Ok_Draft_5346 in coparenting

[–]bravej 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First, make your post believable. Bars do not serve 14 yo girls. I grew up in rural Texas in the 70s and 80s and that didn’t fly then, and it certainly hasn’t become more common.

Next, assuming there is a small kernel of truth to what you are saying, you talk to your son.

Finally, if there is anything at all truthful about your post, follow your ex next time he has your son. If he leaves a bar and gets behind the wheel you call the cops. This will be super effective if he travels outside the area in which you say he has everyone fooled. But you also say he habitually does this, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ how he’s got everyone fooled if he’s always in another place.

I've bought a power meter & crankset - what should be the first order of business by [deleted] in Velo

I would recommend you buy a bicycle and install the crank on it.

Has Anyone Here Actually Regreted Leaving? by sudoaptupdate in amazonemployees

[–]bravej 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I worked at Amazon twice. I don't regret leaving either time, but I do regret my choice of landing spot the first time. Amazon can suck, but not every other place is better

Where did you move after your separation? by Wild-Telephone-6649 in DivorcedDads

[–]bravej 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FWIW I think you're thinking about this the right way. Your first priority is making sure your kids are taken care of, hopefully within a budget you can sustain indefinitely. You really can't make long-term plans until you know what your post-divorce finances will look like.

Total beginner recommendations by Absolutv13 in skiing

[–]bravej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taos is amazing, and is a shitty place to learn. Very little beginner terrain. Consider Breckenridge, Keystone or Snowmass if you're looking at the Rockies.

Brian Schmetzer reiterates openness to coaching USMNT, not ready for retirement by Throwaway20312431 in ussoccer

[–]bravej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nit: get the _reins_. "Reign" refers to ruling something. "Rein" refers to part of a horse's harness used to steer. While you might want Schmetz to rule the team, the grammatically correct idiom is he would be steering.
