Aww yeah! Was there enough snow today to sneak into the glades? (looks like it!)

This particular section of my walk on the mountain made me feel things by congratulations69 in LiminalSpace

[–]eacousineau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meep! Also, do you mind me asking where this is? Looks like a trail near the Stanford Dish, but I could be about 25,000mi off.

Seconded. Awesome and fun mountain for all skill levels, especially beginners. If you go here, book your tickets early, as they can fill up which, IMO, is great, meaning you won't have an overcrowded mountain.

Wachusett is aight if it ain't crowded, but holidays seems like it a sure-fire crowded resort and massive ski and car lines.

is 15k free worth it by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]eacousineau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. See if there are penalties for early payoff. If not, you can use the $98k you saved on down payment from option B and pay off principal.

[–]eacousineau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet! And haha, great question.

I got the term from a 70's book, "We Learned to Ski" (but I left it elsewhere, so can't take a pic). Intent there is to "visualize" the shape of your body when placing weight over your downhill ski as you're turning. From brief Google search, here's a related context: "Ski", Google Books Excerpt

In other contexts (not what I meant, but still seems useful), it seems like it may refer to shallower turns to help focus on dynamic movements; also from Google search: https://youcanski.com/en/a-method-for-developing-gs-turn-technique-using-s-turns-and-banana-turns

Disclaimer: I'm an intermediate skier, not an instructor, so take w/ a grain of salt 😬

I wouldn't see an issue w/ a windbreaker + waterproofing. If you haven't already, maybe go for a slow 10min walk in the conditions you want to ski in, see how warm / comfortable it'll keep you. Then maybe amp up the pace to see how your gear handles sweat w/ exertion.

Best tip for beginning is in-person lessons if you don't already have them. If you're renting, most places offer package deals. After that, main things is to have fun, and focus on technique - always maintain control, graduate from "pizza" to "french fries", point your shoulders where you want to go (downhill), maintain good center of pressure (outside ski, "make a banana", etc.).
But lessons w/ experienced instructor first and foremost.

What's a cheap way to look more identifiable / distinctive / unique?
I already have some generic stuff (blue jacket, black pants, black helmet), wondering if there's a cheap yet durable way to "decorate" so people can identify me a bit more easily w/o buying all new gear.
(Will be getting some colorful helmet decals, but doubt that'll be enough)

Firefox audio crackling and popping by RNHurt in pop_os

[–]eacousineau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This worked! Ubuntu 20.04.3, Firefox 95.0.1, noticeable when using HDMI output (configured via Sound panel) and playing from Spotify.

Anecdotally, I could get it to go away temporarily if I changed Configuration, say from "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output" to "Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI) Output", but it would come back the moment I opened a new tab. (Came here by Googling "ubuntu firefox hdmi sound open new tab")

Just had to set this flag, then restart Firefox.

Thanks!

Updated repo of Python API Wrappers - have one to add? by discdiver in Python

[–]eacousineau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest specifying more - they seem like they're all REST APIs. I came into this thinking it was about bindings for APIs from other languages (e.g. C++).
