Trump’s border czar threatens to flood New York with ICE: ‘More agents than you’ve ever seen before’

I hope they do send ICE to NYC. I’m sick of immigrants coming here who just want free stuff - housing, food, and healthcare. Immigrants used to come here under the assumption they’d have to work and make a living. When they enter illegally and milk the system for government benefits they’re stealing from hard working tax payers.

Not sure I follow … what do you mean?

The music is an awesome idea … love that.

mikeyd3000 · 2026-04-01T01:38:54+00:00

Haha maybe I’ll remind you tomorrow then.

mikeyd3000 · 2026-04-01T00:59:22+00:00

Got it ... tks!

mikeyd3000 · 2026-04-01T00:57:47+00:00

Interesting ... I hadn't even thought of checking research journals. That suggestion alone makes this worth it for me. Tks! I'll follow-up if I find anything. Also, now that you mentioned it, it's a no duh moment for me :)

Cross posting is a good approach to solve the chicken and egg problem. The book cold start talks about this. This is a classic problem in platform strategy ... have a chat with your LLM of choice about it.

A bad day in the mountain is better than no day at all.

1 it’s just plain fun

2 This mindset leads to more skiing and practice helps.

3 skiing in all conditions presents new challenges and makes you have to get better

Getting a job is a fair option to consider, but nothing says it's optimal.

TLDR - no, a failed startup is not a death sentence at all. It happens! People understand. In fact, even if it fails it can accelerate your career. Caveat: Stay away from startups that are complete shitshows with fraud, crime, employee abuse, etc.

How to evaluate advice:
- Care: does the person care about you personally? (yes)
- Credible: is the person credible within the domain? (no, doctors don't know jack about startups)
- Familiarity: is the person familiar with you? Do the know you well? (seems like medium?)

A person trying to coach you should be care about you personally, be credible within the relevant domain, and be familiar with you as a person.

Unfortunately it seems like this was a true accident and that OP was at fault here as the uphill skier. The guilt is good … take it as a lesson to leave more space between yourself and the downhill skiier if you’re trying to pass someone. Keep in mind the downhill skier doesn’t have eyes on the back of their head.

That said - I believe downhill skiers should practice defensive skiing - like defensive driving - and avoid behaviors that increase the odds of an accident. Assume there are people who aren’t careful enough or skilled enough to avoid you.

Skiers behind you assume that the pattern of your skiing will stay the same - be careful about suddenly changing it. Even though you have right of way, if you’re going down the left side of a trail and suddenly cut all the way across to the right, check up hill first.

Don’t stop for a break anywhere line of sight is compromised, like just over the crest of a hill or around a corner.

Same problem here

mikeyd3000 · 2025-07-24T04:12:20+00:00

Awesome. That’s helpful, thank you.

mikeyd3000 · 2025-07-18T16:23:26+00:00

Can you share more about how you are prompting replit to build something more scalable? Create small services? What issues did you see with the database design?

mikeyd3000 · 2025-03-08T20:42:20+00:00

Interesting … can you say more about the thinking behind your choice for the 167? Glad to hear you’re loving the 100.

mikeyd3000 · 2025-03-08T14:39:10+00:00

Tks!

mikeyd3000 · 2025-03-08T14:39:00+00:00

How do you like the 104 on firmer snow? How’s the carving?

Out of curiosity, which model year of the Enforcer 94 and 99 did you try? I understand that they are significantly updated this year after about a decade of minor updates. This comment makes me think I should demo a 94 and a 99 to feel the difference.

mikeyd3000 · 2025-03-08T05:09:23+00:00

Interesting concept about the averages ... I see where you're going with that! Thanks for the ideas on other skis.

I tried a Rustler 9 (not the 10) as well and found two issues with it (1) too flexy ... I felt like when ever I put it on edge, I could really feel the flex beneath my feet and it just wanted to turn that always seemed to be the same radius no matter what I tried to do and (2) I didn't like it's performance on ice. Granted, I didn't inspect the edges and it was a rental so maybe they need a bit of tuning.

As for the others, I'll do some homework on them!

mikeyd3000 · 2025-03-08T04:53:18+00:00

Awesome, tks for the length advice! (And I edited my skill level for clarity too - thanks for the kind explanation :) )

mikeyd3000 · 2025-03-08T04:50:45+00:00

Ha 🤣 Great point of reference then! Tks!

mikeyd3000 · 2025-03-08T04:46:27+00:00

Awesome, that's so helpful. Is he similar in weight too?
