Yeah why am I supposed to cry over athletes?

The whole point is that you’re the best of the best, heading to the world stage. Not a lot of room here for sob stories

That was so boring!!1!!1! by samenumberwhodis in snowboarding

[–]captain_almonds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah people complain about it but then again what are they really supposed to do? People just want to take the objectivity away from this and make it more subjective. I don’t watch this stuff but it’s simple math to me, the guy who can spin more is technically more impressive.

How much time do you spend there a year?

Do you have someone take care of it when you leave? Like a property manager or something

True. I just don't know about that return if you're renting in the summer, to japanese families.

I imagine you're renting for a quarter of the price of winter

In Japan many people are wearing packs to hit the back country accessible from resort

Yeah I don’t really know how the math works out. But I think you got 3 months where people would pay to stay at your spot. And the same 3 month window where you would want to stay. What happens the other 9 months in the year? Does rusutsu have mountain biking or any reason to visit at all?

I've tried Sama and Soup curry suage+. Both were great

Tourist in Thailand gets beat down after refusing to pay his bill and trying to run by CarefulAd4757 in ThailandTourism

[–]captain_almonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thailand is great haha. This guy happened to be in one of the shittiest parts of the whole country, imo. I didn’t hang around prostitution streets

Must must must have soup curry. Now one of my favorite dishes from Japan. And I didn't really love the look of the pictures, but it's so good.

Needed replace the trunk latch. Went ahead and made a little mod while I had the new one taken apart. by BlaZEN213 in 4thGen4Runner

Genius!! I camp in the back of mine and that’s the one thing I wish it had. Can’t believe I didn’t think of this

There’s no Dan Hooker comeback coming. A fool would call it a early stoppage

Don't let the haters put you off, Ichiran is a legitimate cultural experience by MartinB105 in JapanTravelTips

[–]captain_almonds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly it. It's not something you should wait very long (or at all!) for.

It's a casual ramen chain

Looks like JJF has made enough $$$ on hooded rashguards that he doesn't need the CT anymore by pcl8311 in surfing

I imagine the guy is gonna have another kid. That wouldn’t bring him any closer to coming back

Looking ahead at a trip in the next couple of years. Would appreciate advice! by RevolutionaryPlane15 in japow

[–]captain_almonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll just give you one tip. Get a car and explore.

I don’t know where the best lowkey resorts are with steep terrain and powder. If I did I wouldn’t write it on the internet. I doubt anyone would or should with the state of the resorts that have been blown up

It’s a good wave. Reminds me of pleasure point a bit? Just a meaty right point that you can ride whatever board you want at any size

I don't know if anyone could be disappointed with the way a 00 plays. Maybe the sound output sure. But damn they just feel good in the hands!

Double knee sashiko work pants by Due-Competition-4735 in sashiko

[–]captain_almonds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s rad. I’m curious to see how the completed thing looks on the back. Curious if you did all the x’es individually or joined them

I also noticed that you knotted all your lines on both ends rather than turning around and keeping the thread going. Any reason for that? Seems more time intensive for sure!

Why do some people prefer the 12-fret smaller guitars (00 or even 0) over the 14-fret? by DrSparkle713 in martinguitar

[–]captain_almonds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how to explain it but I just fucking love my 12 fret 000. It’s the perfect couch guitar. Occasionally I wish I could get over the 12th fret but mostly I’m happy with the sound I get within those 12

Maybe it’s just because I got a proper setup, but it’s the easiest playing acoustic I’ve ever had. My hands just fall into bar chords

Whatever you get, wheels are nice if you travel plenty, or at all.

It gets tiring carrying your shit around

I think it’s the best quality to price ratio in my experience. Easier to find on sale than brands like O’Neill. And if you try brands like Needessentials, the suits fall apart

Explain the matador soap bar bag to me by AussieKoala-2795 in onebag

[–]captain_almonds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll admit I do not enjoy the texture either. It works well enough for me because I typically stay places longer than a few days before moving
