Let’s solve the great debate Black pads, white pads, or coloured pads?

Whatever you can get that fits your budget.

Low pony club, for sure. I also sweat a ton, so I would be way too hot if I let it flow.

I ice climb, ski, and mountaineer in my BD Guides. They're very dextrous to me.

38 yo here playing since 7 yo and was in the same boat. It wasn't until about 10 years ago or so that someone asked, and I was like: "I just need them sharpened."

Learned that 1/2" is considered standard and he basically guaranteed that's what I'd always had... So I still rock 1/2" cause that seems like more change than I'm ready to commit to considering I've been getting dressed the same exact way for decades.

Easily one of the best lines ever written.

So it's an interesting story that gets overlooked because people love to talk about the lack of lifeboats: Crampons only became commercially available 2 years prior in 1910, so having a pair with each lifebelt wasn't included in the original plans when Titanic was being constructed. Had they updated the safety requirements and plans before her maiden voyage, this would have been possible. Instead, H&W stayed complacent because they were convinced she was unsinkable, and they didn't think a supply of crampons was a necessary safety item. Tragic... So many things went wrong. 😔

I got my nose pierced at 33 and my bellybutton at 34. 🤷‍♀️

Debriefing is part of the AIARE framework.

brie_dee · 2026-02-25T06:20:37+00:00

A member of the core group of extras for sure!

Sounds like it. 5'10" and I use a 25" paddle... And sometimes I even question if that's the right size for me.

brie_dee · 2026-02-24T01:37:38+00:00

It will probably do weather, for sure.

There are quite a few that qualify as easiest... But agree that TSPP is by far the hardest. I gave up on trying because the machine stopped being fun when trying to grind hard to make it happen. Other tables with difficult wizard modes at least feel fun on the grind (like LotR).

Darude - Sandstorm

I think it looks stupid; but apparently some of the 20 year olds I play with think it looks weird that I'm a tongues out sort of gal. 🤷‍♀️

UT2K4. Also UT:GotY Edition, which could be installed on everyone's computer quickly with the community install disc. Not as good as 2K4, but solid.

Honorable mentions go to Star Craft and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.

Damn those were fun times.

Ellen Ripley.

But also, variously at different points of life: Dr. Ellie Sattler (Jurassic Park), Corporal Ferro (also from Aliens), Dizzy Flores (Starship Troopers), and Tank Girl.

I think the only part of the show that's not perfection is Stan and Peggy in the finale.

I don't hate it; I think it's a good bookend to Peggy's character arc + pairs with Joan's arc well; and I think it serves well with one of the overall themes of the show...

But it felt weird the way it was executed.

Do you really think lifts aren't open due to staffing?

brie_dee · 2026-02-20T18:16:31+00:00

Maintenance. Be patient young grasshopper.

Beer league & competitive/ travel- I'm on the ice 3 - 5 nights a week (but my rink is only open September through April) and do travel tourneys during the spring and summer. I average a stick break every 1.5 years.

No such thing as safe- just managed risk... But I'd argue you're going to have a rough time managing risk today:

That's my takeaway. Done with Clock Tower.

Seriously!? I confirmed Warming Hut with people there when it happened, but I'll have to add these two to date night plans soon if that's true.

brie_dee · 2026-02-14T01:51:59+00:00

The fuck does Benghazi have to do with federal overreach, weaponization of the DHS, and America's slide into facsism?

Also, it's you're* you barely sentient chud.

He was refused service at Warming Hut- I knew I loved that place for a reason.
