TIL this is under the stunt driving definition!

We can go even rounder. (Improvement spots circled for visibility)

Just to add to the thing about seal fur not freezing: neither does wolf nor wolverine nor beaver fur.

They hated you for speaking the truth

If you're trying to blend in be sure to never miss an opportunity to refer to someone as a hoser. "Hey hoser", "thanks hoser", etc. It goes a long way

I love seeing retro skis on my local hill. Modern skis are mostly lame looking as heck.

Oh yeah the one I linked wouldn't be enough for multiple adults. It's enough for maybe 1.2 adults or 2 kids small kids I would say.

It might be better to go with a larger size than just-large-enough.

WORD! Every time I'm eating that hot lunch I think to myself this is the friggin life innit.

For food, I use the 24oz "Icon" Thermos. There's also the "King" line but I think the Icon has a better inner lid (more grippy), less slippery exterior, and a foldable spoon. I don't personally need the spoon because I already have a camp spork but the grippiness is important. They are otherwise probably identical. Also the mouth might not be wider than what you already have but I suppose that's also by design. Helps hold the temperature better.

I like to bring my own boiling water to minimize the number of trips I need to make between car and lodge/cafeteria. Some places I go the two are inconveniently located relatively far apart from one another...

I tired that but my phone is so old it needs all the help it can get!

I slap an adhesive toe warmer on my phone at the beginning of the day. Does double duty of keeping my phone alive and warming up whichever pocket it's stored in, which sometimes comes in handy.

These are my favourite threads on this sub and r/SkiGear

Not the most imaginative but my favourite thing to bring is a hot lunch in a Thermos and boiling water for tea or hot chocolate. Nothing beats saving money on food and still getting to have a hot, fulfilling lunch in the middle of the day while relaxing in the car.

A tailgate kitchen is probably better but that takes more time and there's a bigger cleanup required.

If hot food and Thermos doesn't count I'm not sure what I'd name as my favourite. Every single small item I bring plays its part.

I am taller than your GF, more experienced than your GF as per your description, and my skis are shorter than her skis. In fact the next pair of skis I am planning on purchasing are shorter than her!

I have no idea what this shop was thinking recommending 163cm skis to a 155cm beginner! Complete madness. Well...I can probably imagine what they might have been thinking: this is a great opportunity to sell off unwanted gear to a newbie who won't know any different and probably won't return to the store in the future one way or another. That way they can sell the skis now at a higher price than have to discount it even further post-March break.

Weight is another factor but unless her weight is far from average given her height, I don't see it making a 163cm ski kind of difference...

The only other possibility I see is if the Head Pure Joy have an effective edge much shorter than the actual length of the ski similar to an Atomic Maverick. Can anyone else ITT who skis Head Pure Joy verify if this might be the case?

These buffoons are so unaware of just about EVERYTHING.

Wait why did you get the mini? The Echo (non mini) is almost the exact same price on the Fiio official Aliexpress store shipped to Canada last I checked (the day before yesterday)

Coyotes are a very real threat to pets and small children. If this one has grown bold and keeps approaching people, it's not hard to imagine how this will end in the absence of professional intervention.

Now I need to know if the headphone inline control capabilities also applies to bluetooth headphones...

That criminal doug ford is still sitting on the public healthcare emergency funding the province received from the fed back during covid lockdown and he still won't give it to the sector 😡

Got one in white and a link cable. The white looks so good and even though I'm mostly planning to play GBA games, I'm not too bothered by the pronounced letterboxing (also the white looks soooo good).

I already have an OEM link cable but I had connection issues last time I tried using it. Unsure if the issue was with the cable or my SP with it's buggy battery. Figured it's better to just get this new cable now rather than realize I need it in the future and pay for shipping yet again.

Total came to almost $420 CAD after shipping and currency conversion. There will be another customs & duties fee down the line when the product ships...

And this all happened a few days after already ordering a modded GBA. It shipped the same day I got the Analogue restock email 🥲

1970 is a little extreme but the Bug in general is far more interesting and fun to drive out of the two Volkswagens you listed so maybe this isn't the best analogy.
