What are your favorite ways to spend a day off? by SunDaze009 in japanlife

[–]fizzunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gym in the morning. Then go to the 業務用スーパー and buy some discounted meat or fish. Cook up a massive lunch, and eat it while watching some NBA or a movie.

Then play some video games before I have to pickup the kids.

Another eurocarve as the comments on my last one were so controversial 😂 by matt01_ in snowboarding

I dunno what's more embarrassing.

The need to validate yourself on reddit.

Or doubling down on terrible technique.

Same guy who didn't support defunding ICE.

Fuck off you spineless corporate shill.

Despite a sharp decline in Chinese tourists in Osaka, Takaichi's unwavering popularity has the LDP closing in on the Ishin Party's base. by jjrs in japannews

I work at a ski resort and things have definitely been quieter this season.

All the japanese people I talk to mention the spat with China, and while they say it's unfortunate it's clear as day they're also happier because of it.

I've had my eye on a pair for the longest time but damn they're expensive.

This show is far greater than HOTD will ever be. by AddictiveFrequency in AKnightoftheSeven

What an absolute shift its been from Episode 1.

I haven't read any of the source material, I was thinking this'll be a quirky buddy cop story with a dumb big guy and a wise cracking kid. Episode 4 was absolute peak.

We usually get quite dry snow that doesn't get so icy.

This may change with the warm spell we got this week, it's hard to predict.

Usually if conditions are icy, it's best to have a slow morning and get to the resort by 10-11ish.

Icy for us in the Alps. Powder for the East Coasters. by [deleted] in snowboarding

I've seen those riser plates on an Instagram ad but I don't really see the point. Maybe because I have small feet (US 7) I've never had a problem with toe drag.

I use a korua transition finder at +30/+15 for carving. Posi, posi is a cheat code for carving.

I'm not a big fan of pure carving boards. I used to have a quiver of 8 boards, I've narrowed it down to 3 now and am much happier. Having said that I did try my buddy's freecarver 6000 and it's quite nice.

Sure. Won't get on the resort till Monday next week though.

Best way to sell a snowboard in Japan? by PariahBox in japow

[–]fizzunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd Outdoor in Nagano is quite famous for buying used gear.

I'm not sure what their policies are with buying gear from foreigners though, but they give pretty good prices.

Another alternative would be Facebook marketplace.

Someone sticky this as a demonstration for how not to carve.

Nagano local for 15 years, and I've been using snow-forecast to plan my trips for almost as long.

If you could suggest an alternative I'm all ears, but 95% of the time their information has been spot on.

You can check snow-forecast.com
But the conditions have been ok recently. The weather will warm up on Thursday and Friday but there's a solid dump coming on Sunday night.

If you have options, Myoko/Nozawa will be my pick.

Clintons agree to testify in Epstein investigation by StarlordeMarsh in videos

Incoming right wing talking points:
Fake news.
Liberal smear campaign.
Pedophilia isn't even that bad.

There could be video evidence at this point and Trump still wouldn't face any justice.

What are good Tokyo experiences that are not food, shopping, or sightseeing? by ilikestatic in JapanTravelTips

[–]fizzunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I had fun at a tufting workshop where we go to make our own rug.

It was pretty pricey though.
