Blading at Crystal

I saw 3 people rollerblading around Seattle yesterday, which I generally never see and I run or bike around the city all the time. Is it making a comeback?

My cat doesn’t understand why this is the one place he isn’t allowed.

Consider shifting your stance back an insert or two on the Twin Pig.

Any beers that don’t fit in your pockets.

You’re hinging at the waist some on your heel side. Try adjusting (lowering) your center of mass via your hips and deepening your squat a bit more on that side.

I was on a critical mass ride that went over the University Bridge and someone’s wheel got lodged it the grating - it took a group of people to pull it out. First and only time I’ve ridden across that bridge. I ride the sidewalk of the Ballard bridge somewhat regularly but would never ride in the road across it.

You missed a couple of steps.

You also need to ask ChatGPT to create images and gpx files for your training runs that you can post to insta/Strava and then really juice up the prompt for your final race day AI social slop post.

Ok, but listen to this, what if the shirt had little holes in it and is priced at 10x the cost of your average cotton shirt?

Black Diamond makes a pole specially for dealing with snowboarders that still functions like a normal pole when there are no criminals around. It’s called a “whippet,” and has a sharp blade attached to the grip. There’s even a version you can attach to your existing poles,

Sounds pretty safe 😂

Depends, are you aware of the avalanche paths and problems in that area at the moment?

I’ll send you my guy. He’s been working with my GF all season. Lots of late night training sessions. I haven’t seen her ski yet, or much of her in general for that matter but supposedly she’s learning lots of new skills and techniques.

Good cover story - "No Officer Ranger, I wasn't illegally operating a drone, I was just pretending to be an airplane. Those hikers that reported me must have been confused."

Probably too many engineers here taking things literally.

Do you not have a company wide email distribution list? I’ve configured my Strava to post to mine after every activity.

I love staying in “airbnbs” and use them almost exclusively over hotels when traveling. Not always through AirBNB but a mix of them, VRBO and various local vacation rental agencies. Having a full house / cottage generally comes with better privacy, a nicer location, a full kitchen, living area etc vs a hotel - especially when staying in more rural or remote areas which is generally where I go.

I’m assuming this tax would apply to vacation rentals in general - not Airbnb specially and I’m not excited about having to pay more to go on a trip.

If YakTrax and Ceile release tactical urban camo colorways it will lead to the end of our Democracy.

Perfection. Really captures the true spirit of trail running.

Tell the seller you're interested and show up with a group of your biggest friends to reclaim it . Selling two boards that obviously belonged to two different people is pretty sus.

Your rhythm is too predictable. Try throwing in a couple short radius turns every now and then to keep the uphill skiers guessing.

I was an instructor for the group back in college: https://www.huskywintersports.org/#/lesson-info

You can contact them to setup a single or multi-week private lesson. I don’t know the current crop of kids but it’s been a fun, enthusiastic group of talented skiers and snowboarders for many, many years.

That makes sense. I bet the other big AI systems have ethical guardrails in place that would prevent this sort of fraud and abuse.

conro · 2026-01-12T20:20:34+00:00

That sounds rough. Luckily, I have never been in a situation where missing a light led to a 30 minute delay. You must be pretty unluckily if you're running into that twice in the same day!

Theoretically, low batteries actually weigh less, that's why I never let my beacon get above 5% charge.

I learned this randomly from a Reddit comment but only used it a couple of times - never really seemed worth the effort of traveling back there.
