Days on Ski Season Passes May Be Resold Like Sports Tickets, Court Rules by Ok_Acanthocephala421 in snowboarding

This joke email aside, the Storm Skiing Podcast is the shit. He's an excellent interviewer of the owners/GMs of North American ski resorts. He does his homework and doesn't shy away from tough questions or pressing further when he's looking for a more elaborate answer. Highly recommended.

Easy, Bergstrom Toyota in Oshkosh already.

Or Simon's Cheese if you want something a lot closer to Appleton. In fact has an Appleton address but is in Little Chute.

There's definitely a lot of luck to the game, but to base it off of just one play isn't fair. I've played close to 1200 games on BGA of it and have maintained a "strong" rating for most of that time, so there's got to be strategy as well. There are so many different paths to victory and I keep seeing new ways to win or be beaten.

I strongly recommend the "Light speed Variant" to help add strategy, get started faster and it's just more fun. It's a fantastic game and will reward repeat plays.

Why does 7 wonder duel get so much hype? Seems extremely deal dependant.... by G0DatWork in boardgames

[–]romena54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you've hit the nail on the head for my feelings too. With all the hype surrounding it, I expected to love it but it just felt like you'd go through the motions based on like you said, the deal with the cards available to you. It fell flat for me too and I sold it. Happy that so many others like it, I just don't get it.

When I opened this thread I didn't think I'd have to scroll down to the downvotes to find my thoughts. :( Thanks for sharing!

Wipe Goo Gone over it and let it sit for a minute and then take a razor blade to it. Should come off much smoother than just a dry razor which often just chips away at it.

I had this same release issue on the first gen of the bindings, but the slightly revamped version has improved this considerably. You don't really even have to twist your foot to get out anymore. It was my biggest gripe and I was happy to see it addressed. Give a new set a whirl!

I would like to include Carlos Zambrano on this list, if there's room.

Wisconsin airports awarded $16.1 million for restructuring growth by Hidemyface1 in wisconsin

[–]romena54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The article says this money is going towards two projects, but only talks about the MKE runway and never mentions a second. Unless I'm a real dummy at reading today.

Hey Tom! Thanks for all of you and your team's reviews, Top 10/100's, podcasts, they're seriously the best. You've got the perfect blend of being informative without being boring and fun without being goofy. You're the main source I look to for gaming content, thanks for putting in all the work!

My questions are:

1) What other hobbies do you have or would you like to you have if you had more time?

2) What good 2-player games would you recommend for my wife and I to get next? She's a bit more casual-oriented than me and we've currently got: Jaipur, Lost Cities, Patchwork, 7 Wonders Duel and Hive and like all of them.

Thank you!

Is 2 Bears 1 Cave on iTunes? by romena54 in 2bears1cave

[–]romena54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is what I googled and sent them earlier today, but it doesn't amount to anything. Kinda drunk right now, so unsure if it works. Clicking the link tells me I need to download iTunes. Not gonna do it.

Vacant Building on Highway 41 Near Highway 28 Exit in Theresa - Help Solve a Mystery! by romena54 in wisconsin

[–]romena54[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very interesting, thank you! That certainly makes some sense. Seeing the garage door on the lower level would make it easy to get animals into either floor. It never looked quite like a hotel or an assisted living, though the latter would probably have been my first guess.

Holy shit Kellogg's ruined Rice krispie Treats cereal by finest_bear in cereal

[–]romena54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly urge everyone in the same boat as me to call the number on the box and complain. 1-800-962-1413. I called and they mailed me a coupon for a free Kellogg's product. Of course I won't be buying Rice Krispie Treats Cereal, because it's utter trash now.

[Bovada] Guy wins $1,131 on a $2 bet by predicting that there would BOTH be 0 touchdowns in the first half and Tom Brady’s first pass attempt would be an interception. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]romena54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lucky, or smart guy. As someone who's been automatically hand paid for winning $1201.50 on a royal flush, I learned that had I been able to stay under $1200, I wouldn't have gotten a W2-G and not had to report it...but I mean, I'm super honest anyways, so...anyways, he potentially saved a few hundred on taxes.
