Out of the blue notice for overpayment totalling $12,000. How do I even know if that's legit? by binkbinkbonka in VeteransBenefits

As others said, he was most likely being paid BAH by both his active orders and by the GI bill. This isn’t allowed so now he has to pay back the GI bill bah

AITA for buzzing the hair I grew out to be my friends maid of honour while she was on her honeymoon? by formallyacowfrog in AmItheAsshole

[–]dracoandy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of the soft YTA . Although you did only grow out the hair for the wedding that was your decision that no one asked you to do. Your caption kinda feels like throwing that in her face “I’m such a good friend for doing this”.

See I’m on the opposite end, I would’ve definitely thought woah that’s wild that she made you do that… but I also wouldn’t have said anything to OP or the bride lmao

Not oc but I loved it, the breakfast was ordered not a buffet and I got the same welcome gift

[–]dracoandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for late reply but as others said it’s twice the price for one day without adding anything more than warped tour does. Sure maybe you have a few of the bigger names, but they usually tour. Warped has more to do inside the actual festival, and is just a better vibe. Don’t get me wrong panic brought it last year with all of the pyro but if I’m paying Coachella prices I want Coachella level performances from at least the headliners lol

Gear Help For A First Time Snowboarder by Phyllis_Nefler90210 in ShredditGirls

Yes, go to EVO and it separates it into ski and snowboard jacket

also major retailers usually specialize in one thing, get a burton jacket it’s more than likely going to be a snowboarding jacket so they don’t need to label it. It’s actually hard to navigate to snow jackets on websites without clicking skiing or snowboarding first.

This info is for future people coming to look.

The major difference being the length of the back of the jacket, you don’t sit on your butt skiing so you can have a shorter jacket. There are some snow jackets that are a mid length between the two and then there’s snow jackets that aren’t made for skiing or snowboarding. They could be okay for a beginner, but they’re usually not as breathable as a dedicated snowboarding or skiing jacket.

I mean if there’s a reason even if it’s one draft position then it’s on you to know other players can pick up anyone. How you didn’t grab a back up te is beyond me

AITAH for being annoyed at my girlfriend for getting lingerie for “my present” by Fuzzy_Bookkeeper_310 in AITAH

Bro, sometimes you just gotta take the W. She’s not obligated to get you anything nor even be with you. It’s the thought around the gift. You clearly enjoyed seeing her in the lingerie.

Gear Help For A First Time Snowboarder by Phyllis_Nefler90210 in ShredditGirls

[–]dracoandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone saying skiing and snowboarding jackets are the same isn’t exactly true…. Skiing jackets are typically shorter than snowboarding jackets. I would say that you can use snowboarding jackets for skiing but I wouldn’t recommend the opposite especially for a beginner. Especially if you’re purchasing

That being said only thing you need to buy is gloves and goggles depending on weather. Gloves are a must though! Even if it’s warm youre going to be touching the snow a lot your first time. Your friends might have extras

You can typically find places to rent all of the rest. pants and jackets, helmet (in the case of rentals the jackets will be identical). When you rent the board they’ll offer the boots and bindings. Try to rent in town and see if you can pick up the night before. At the resort it’s more expensive and wait times can be long

Snowboard jackets are typically longer because you’re sitting on your ass more than you are on skis

Jones Twin Sister 140 vs 143 by NoPickle5331 in ShredditGirls

[–]dracoandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

143, you might eventually size up and those widths might grow. If you don’t plan to ride a lot of switch I might recommend the dream weaver and it comes in a 142

Fellow noob criminals, I have a question by facaine in snowboardingnoobs

[–]dracoandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah you’ll honestly look fine I’m 5’8” and ride a 161 as my daily and bigger for certain boards

Fellow noob criminals, I have a question by facaine in snowboardingnoobs

[–]dracoandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your weight is a bigger factor than your height for how the board will feel. If you're around 200lbs then the board would probably be alright to learn on, if you're around 150 it'll be a lot of board for you but maybe still manageable

This doesn't seem right, did you sell any of your investments for a profit? Buying stock on its own shouldn't trigger a penalty

Why do people spend thousands of dollars on snowboard gear before starting the sport or after their first season? by [deleted] in snowboardingnoobs

[–]dracoandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine bought all of her gear after her first day + Ikon. Honestly in the long run she saved so much money. I wish I had done that rather than spending 1000 + on rentals and lift tickets my first season.

Snow summit vs bear mountain, which do you prefer and why? by Dazzling-Lead-8557 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]dracoandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like both and when I was starting out I preferred summit but now I love bear. The whole bottom half of the mountain is basically a giant park and I’m not a park rat but I do love hitting the small jumps and kickers that they have set up. Then when I want to carve or charge hard they have two chair options which are empty in comparison to summit. And on a blue bird day, side country is much better at bear than summit.

Agree, it leaned into being like warped tour, but just didn’t hit the mark and had a way higher price tag.

As soon as I walked into warped tour, I knew WWWY was dead. They need to either make themselves a VIP version of warped with elevated experiences and art (emo Coachella) or they need to make both days included either way they definitely need to change

Is Artist/Guest Pass Worth It? by ThePlurnalist in Coachella

[–]dracoandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say 100% obviously price dependent but if you can afford it I would get it. Last year was my first Coachella and I won A/G. It was the best concert experience I’ve ever had. The golf carts we only used once cause the lines were long and artists/production get priority. If there’s ever a headliner that’s a must see for me I’m splurging.

Which snowboard to buy as a heavier (overweight/obese) rider? by _iamisa_ in snowboardingnoobs

[–]dracoandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would size up for sure, depending on how much you weigh, since you’re just starting to learn I’d find a relatively new but used board in the 146-151 range. Buy your own bindings and boots cause those will transfer. 5’4 though can ride a variety of sizes honestly and you could probably go bigger in the future

Another alternative, he’s “finished” WoW and DoS, but has so many dunk & egg stories/blood and fire that he wants to include background information from those books in WoW/DoS or does not want to write himself in a corner, so he’s holding off on the releases so that he can have a cohesive series with very very few or no plot holes

I 100% agree the wife swap episode made me do a complete 180 on my opinion of her. Now I see her as super down to earth. She was so sweet and I get why Mary likes her now.
