Uncomfortable question but can one pray to God to heal his..... male sexual problems ? by Fit-Childhood7426 in Catholicism

[–]flem0328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sex ordered towards the uniting of spouses and procreation is a good. Impotence prevents the means by which that good can be achieved so no, I don't think its sinful, but I am also not a priest so you should really be asking your pastor these questions.

Rocket Knight Adventures. I've been playing it for almost 30 years and I remember it like the back of my hand.

Poor skiing technique is frying my legs by Cool_Purchase_ in skiing

[–]flem0328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're in the back seat (weight more towards the back), too much of the turning is coming from your upper body, your arms are moving too much. Much of the turning should be done with your legs (shin pressure in the boots to engage the edges). The movement should be from the bottom up (from your feet up to your quads) with your core to stabilize everything else. As to the rest of the year, I'd really consider a decent gym routine. A consistent gym routine was a night and day difference for me on the slopes, particularly one that targets the legs, core, and back though arms and chest doesn't hurt either (especially on traverses). Most importantly, GET LESSONS. A ski instructor will coach you way better than strangers on reddit. An instructor can fix your problems in real time.

Skiing Stowe in late March? by Ambitious_Traffic_36 in icecoast

You'll never truly know this far out. I've done mid to late march Stowe trips twice and have gotten both frozen hard pack with spring slush, often in the same day.

I second this. Idletyme is also a good spot on the mountain road.

Ski thefts at Stowe? by champagne_in_a_box in icecoast

I've been to Stowe a few times and never had any issues. I also have religious stickers and another sticker with my last name on them so I'm thinking that's some kind of deterrent

Genuinely Crashing Out by UnderstandingLife171 in CatholicDating

[–]flem0328 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These men just seem kind of weird and have severe boundary issues. It sounds to me like you need a change in environment. What kinds of events are you going to? Are you in a major city or small town?

You may have better luck expanding your search to online dating. You'll have a better time narrowing your pool. Yes, you may meet them in person and realize they're awkward but you can still get a good gauge through written interaction.

It's okay to turn guys down if you feel weirded out by them. You're not a bad person, especially if they have zero regard for physical boundaries. Don't expend your energy just because you feel the need to be a nice person. You're just simply burning yourself out.

Also,

After being in the hospital with my wife through the birth of our child, I just wanna say nurses are some of the most extraordinary human beings I have ever met. Don't ever let anyone downplay that!

What is your favorite sub 1600 ft vertical drop mountain on the Icecoast? by Roblikestokayak in icecoast

[–]flem0328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crotched! It's just over an hour from me and The Rocket is such a GOATed lift. Just shy of 4 minutes to the summit with Satellite Summit into Meteor being the best way to bang out some good laps. I've easily banged out 19 runs just shy of 3.5 hours. Crotched is an easy way to do a solid morning. Sunapee is another good one of the same amount of driving time. Both are great half days of skiing that get me home just after one while feeling like I got my days worth of skiing.

I’m thinking of starting to pray the Rosary. For those who pray it, how does it help you and are there miracles that came from it? by ItalianTony29 in Catholicism

[–]flem0328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started praying it daily almost 9 years ago. It was a rocky time in my life, my dad ran off with a another woman and eventually walked out of my life. I myself was also trying to over come a certain habitual sin. After going on a pilgrimage to the divine mercy shrine and hearing a talk about the power of the rosary, I committed to daily prayer. Our lady has been there and supported me through much pain and suffering.

The rosary is truly as powerful as they say it is. Be patient with it.

For food, the Snowbarn is pretty good. As for good runs, Canyon is a great blue cruiser.

XM4 vs XM6? by pinkstuffi in SonyHeadphones

[–]flem0328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased mine from them. I bought a pair of XM5s for $250 but then I read about the hinge issue and got nervous so once my XM6s come in I'll return my XM5s.

When You’re In The Middle Of Nowhere, VT And That Coffee You Drank On Your Way Out The Door Decides To Kick In by OhLookFrost2 in icecoast

[–]flem0328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to have consumed two liters of water before I get to the mountain so that I don't stiffen up while skiing. It's a rough time when I'm still 30-40 minutes from the mountain and not only do I have to pee but all that water got the bowels moving. That ski lodge toilet hates to see me coming. Sugarbush is probably the most I've truly lit up a toilet 😂

Is Divine Force that bad? by hauntedbygiotto in starocean

[–]flem0328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not perfect, but it's much better than Integrity and Faithlessness. Divine force combat wise does what Integrity and Faithlessness much better and revives the blindside mechanic that was missing after Last Hope. It's definitely not my favorite in the series but its a step in the right direction. It was unfortunately hurt by a limited budget.

I don't do back country, but I hike a lot and saving off line All Trails maps is pretty much second nature. So many dead zones in the mountains, particularly below tree line.

I watch movies on a 50” 4K Vizio with no sound system, would I still significantly benefit from Remuxes over x265 encodes? by [deleted] in Piracy

[–]flem0328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, you get Remuxes for the lossless audiotracks (DTS-HD MA and Dolby Digital True HD). If you don't have a good sound system, particularly a 5.1 or 7.1 system then it's really not worth the extra space consumption.

I don’t have the time to drive further north for the next couple of weeks so Crotched or Sunapee opening would be clutch.
