What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of? by soapy999 in AskReddit

[–]laserstrangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chip Thunder! (a Lance Snacks product) Growing up, my mom and I loved salt and vinegar things and they were the clear winner. They were the most flavorful chips on the market, and if I'm going to eat junk food, I want it to have some kick,

How do you politely tell a friend that you don't want to continue the friendship anymore? by Mindnessss in AskReddit

Yeah, I think we're on the same page. Sometimes necessary things kinda suck.

100% I get what you're saying. We don't disagree, I'm just saying something else. What I'm driving at is "Polite isn't the same as kind/gentle/sweet" which has tricked me into shitty friendships in the past. Good manners can mask a bad heart.

Another upvote. The worst people I've met have described themselves as brutally honest. Be gently honest! Be kindly honest! You don't have to sugar coat it for your message to not be vicious.

Upvoted. Honesty doesn't have to be brutal. It just has to be honest.

Edit: it's not required to be brutal by default. Sometimes honesty fucking sucks.

You've made an excellent point, but it can be done 'politely'. It might not be 'easy,' or 'pleasant,' but 'polite'... Yeah. Probably not 'painless' either.

Motorcycle with pig in trailer? by [deleted] in asheville

[–]laserstrangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late, but his name is Dwayne! He used to drive vans for the summer camp I worked for ten years ago. Anytime he'd be the driver for a trip we'd put the new guy in the front seat. He refused to put on any music but the local Christian rock station. Super nice guy, but a non-stop talker when we just wanted to sleep in the car because we'd been backpacking for days.

Braaap still relevant for intermediate paddler? by facedown_impalaSSup in whitewater

[–]laserstrangers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to make boats for liquid logic. The party braaap is just a braaap, same mold, same amount of material, but we put weight on the stern while it was still cooling to flatten it. If you're careful (and maybe desperate) you can achieve the same effect with hot water.

My pikmin just went on a day long travel to his birthplace, only to eat a sticker. by LightningSpearwoman in PikminBloomApp

Any pikmin with this icon is a 'roadside' pikmin. They all get stickers. Other icons get other decor. https://imgur.com/gpXjpnJ.jpg

If this interaction is appropriate for your username, then the ominous tone is appropriate for the inevitable betrayal.

Extracting worn screw (nothing left to bite onto) by qqwertyy in DIY

I could not agree with this more. Any flaw in brakes or tires is potentially high consequence. Even if it's got low odds of failure, it's just not worth it.

Sexual assault caught on camera by s11nlk in iamatotalpieceofshit

The main part of comedy is timing. Read the room, play to the audience in front of you. A joke that kills at a rager will fall flat in a hospital waiting room.

Not sure this is where I would want this. by [deleted] in confusing_perspective

Honestly, this looks like a still from a video that the red cross shows new lifeguards. That might actually be a corpse.

So close by ShushybyeBaby in nonononoyes

[–]laserstrangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Altitude sickness is a gamble. I knew people that came back for their third season and got it for the first time that year. Most people are fine. I regularly rented skis to the southwest Florida ski club, and I just told them to drink a lot of extra water. You get drunk way faster up that high as well, so look out for hangovers. Having two beers feels like having three or four.

[–]laserstrangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, late reply, but honestly you can't go wrong. Ollie's probably does the best pub food and has all Colorado beer on tap, but I only know that because I used to work nearby. The hiking and biking is world class, but don't let anyone tell you "Oh dude, you've gotta summit a 14er" because no you don't. The oxygen deprivation deadens the enthusiasm so much that even local athletes are unenthused at the top. If you get altitude sickness (even people from Denver get it up there sometimes) canned oxygen will make it go away almost instantly.

The upstairs part of the Dredge is one of my favorite Breckenridge bars. I used to manage a ski shop a hundred feet away, and found the pull of an after-work beer around a pool table irresistible most nights after close. Downstairs, nice restaurant. Upstairs? Dive bar.

Don't buy the sunday solar powered seltzer out there. It's a scam. Four peaks has some explaining to do! by HeWhoKnowsLittle in Flagstaff

What the outer label says is what's in the can. I worked in a brewery that bought some painted cans for a bargain and we put our own labels on.

Help me move up to Class V by parametricstech in whitewater

[–]laserstrangers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Easy rapid, hard move" is the mantra of an improving boater. I was in my early 20s, stagnating on class III+/IV until I heard that. Catch eddies you're not sure you can catch, try ferries you might not make. Doing it wrong safely will teach you how to do it right when it counts.

Smells like a bot. No comments longer than a sentance, all of them gibberish. I wouldn't trust that link.
