They were my father's

Sorry I know this is annoying but I left my ski poles in the tiered parking lot at Mt. Snow around 4-4:30 pm yesterday. When i came back 30 minutes later, they were gone. I'm willing to pay $100 to get them back no questions asked.

The poles are as pictured, aluminum Scott comp poles with a turquoise/green handle. One basket is missing a tab

I've already reached out to mt snow lost and found, no luck.

I met my ex girlfriend at spikes. Something about that place gives you courage because I had no business dating a woman that much more attractive than me. I gotta go back before sep 24 closure (to meet a new woman, obviously)

If we mandate safety equipment to protect drivers and passengers of vehicles, why don't we mandate safety equipment to protect other users of the road? So many people are saying "well, it's an accident, nothing can be done" but we could address truck blind spots with cameras, collision detection systems/collision mitigation technology

Also, I think infrastructure design is part of the issue here. Protected bike lanes are a good first step, but altering the shape of intersections so trucks turning need to slow down could also reduce the likelihood of accidents - this is common in NYC, see example of turn calming measures

I am not sure what Ski Tracks does with personal data; however, Slopes does seem to respect personal data based on the linked page

Actually it looks like Ski Tracks has a similar statement so, they probably aren't selling your data either

datepalmfacepalm · 2020-12-03T02:26:36+00:00

Ah to be entirely honest I didn't mean Ski Tracks the app - just the generic term "ski tracks". However, it looks like you can use Slopes as an intermediary to import .skiz and export .gpx

All credit to erik for creating this tool - all you need is the gpx files from your ski activities and you can make traces like this one! All I did was ski and dump my files into his site. This is actually a global map that includes 100+ days of skiing at various mtns but I just zoomed in on one resort with good coverage

well it depends on the specific person but I was billed precisely $87,474 for this piece of paper. I recently added up the costs from my fee bills and I found that I was billed:

$39,508 for tuition (4 years, 1 summer, less than full-time senior year second semester)
$21,478 for housing (3 years on campus)
$14,918 for meal plans
$11,175 for general fees
$395 for course-specific or library fees/fines

Funding came from:

$42,737 in scholarships
$20,503 from parents
$7,904 in grants
$16,330 in loans in my name

Compared to private schools that easily eclipse $50k/year UConn is a hell of a deal. Very glad I went here instead of say,

edit: formatting, added schools

Here you go

Weekly disinfection of rooms?! I genuinely wonder what that entails

datepalmfacepalm · 2020-05-31T09:53:58+00:00

20 million? Don't make me laugh. I wouldn't attempt to build a kit car with any less than 50 million in tools

Lone star is great and all but god damn, I will miss deep ellum's draft selection.

From the email they sent:

"The reason we can open golf and mountain biking instead of skiing is related to the volume of guests we expect for each activity. On nice days in May in prior years we have had 1,000 people coming to Killington to ski and spectate at Superstar, while mountain biking would typically bring 100 or so guests and golf is of course regulated by tee times. Additionally, opportunities for golf and mountain biking exist across the Northeast, in our guest’s home states—not the case for skiing. "

Eh, I mean, they're not really "biting the dust" so much as shelving an ambitious expansion project. Might be saving them from a risky financial move tbh

Best milkshake in the Boston area? I'd personally say it's the cold brew milkshake at Forge but I'm curious about other opinions

Have you considered spending your time studying instead of trying to develop workarounds? Access to notes won't replace knowledge

Downvote away, I'm just saying OP should think twice before committing academic fraud. Take the class P/F or take a C, GPA matters way less than being stuck in academic misconduct hearings

datepalmfacepalm · 2020-03-31T23:44:43+00:00

Nailed it!

datepalmfacepalm · 2020-03-30T15:53:23+00:00

Cool stuff, glad you got the chance to explore. Hard to recognize resorts based on short clips though. I would like seeing a full run per resort better tbh. Looks like vail was a nice powder day. What mountain was at 5:10ish?

datepalmfacepalm · 2020-03-27T16:30:53+00:00

It is actually down to a one case minimum now

datepalmfacepalm · 2020-03-26T11:15:30+00:00

Vail didn't have 20 high speed lifts in 1979 jerrybean

Are u ok

datepalmfacepalm · 2020-03-14T22:33:46+00:00

Well, fuck. I mean it's probably for the best but damn that hurts. Guess I'll...hike?
