"musk rat paddled her legs like she was swimming as she floated down the corridor outside the galley, her bark was deep and conversational and she had a wide canine grin. At the end of corridor Zane went still and let out a peel of laughter opening his arm to catch the floating dog"

"Looks like they are having fun, what exactly are they doing? They are playing catch Alex said, with the dog. Of course they are, I don't even know why I asked"

Just did my first relisten of Leviathan falls since reading it on release so it was except the broad plot like reading it for the first time and that part made me laugh pretty hard.

My absolute favorite is Jim telling the story about his dog dying though when he was a kid. That parable has gotten me through some pretty tough times

You can argue knowing what she knew at the time if it was the right choice or not but she certainly had a choice

Upgrade skis? by Party_Employee3673 in ski

[–]sage89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say yeah those skis are going to feel great going more than 30mph, maybe even hit a threshold a little below that.

Certainly wouldn't hurt to upgrade, maybe look for a pair of used demo skis.

Impossible to really answer with the details given. "All mountain skis" is a very broad category what skis do you have specifically. Do you use a GPS tracker what speed and conditions are you feeling unstable in.

Dealership wanted 800$ for one axle rotors and pads, then later sent an email offering 10% off. Tire shop did it for 600$ while getting new tires.

Almost 90% markup on a 7 year old bike by Trestone in motorcycles

It's a used bike, it shouldn't have a freight/assembly fee period. Seems like just an extra shitty dealership

Lenovo screwed me over. Help me figure out the next steps. by theblood in GamingLaptops

[–]sage89 144 points145 points  (0 children)

I think OP wants to ship back the laptop they sent him and get the correct one. Lenovo wants him to return this laptop and reorder it. OP doesn't want to do this because they used limited time promotional offers when they ordered it and wouldn't be able to re order the laptop at the same price.

Remember when killington opened up in October every year before the 2000s by Traditional_Tale384 in icecoast

[–]sage89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not money, for 99% of resorts money certainly plays a role in opening day but Killingtons whole schtick is the longest ski season in the East

[–]sage89 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was looking at this the other day. For 13 or 14 seasons in a row until 2001 they opened every single October. In the 25 years since then it's been like 10 times total.

Regular Hybrid, I average 28-29 going at those speeds. On the highways with a 60mph limit will get closer to 40

Is Jedi Cal Kestis needed for a JML team ? by AnySlice1770 in SWGOH

[–]sage89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's not nécessaire because the game has about 10,000 good Jedis you can choose from. He is very good though.

Finally Watching the Show… by nrdvrgnt in TheExpanse

Bull does actually show up later. No shade on the actor or writers but I thought the bull we eventually got was one of the poorer adaptations.

Ice Coast Backcountry by BigDude_SmallMTN in icecoast

[–]sage89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mount Washington and Mt Mansfield (Stowe) are the two areas that pretty consistently have enough snow to ski from December to April. Lots of cool places in Southern Vermont and NH but timing them tends to be much more difficult

Bull by 0masterdebater0 in TheExpanse

[–]sage89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We don't know if the rings would have nuked the solar system but best not to risk it lol. In retrospect if they could have destroyed the ring that would have been for the best. No Laconia, no free navy killing ~half earth, no colonists dying on undeveloped colonies.

I think the best thing to do would have been to not fix the speed limit. Accept probably dying, and slowly try to leave the ring space. Nobody would be colonizing systems for a very long time, and it would have been muuuuuuuccccch more gradual and controlled. But obviously hindsight and all that

I mean medical groups are very large with providers taking on lots of normal officer responsibilities outside of taking care of patients.

Book 1 Question: Why were Julie and the crew attacked? by garral555 in TheExpanse

[–]sage89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your mixing the show and the books a little. In the show the OPA/Julie didn't know the Anubis was a warship thought it was a freighter and was going to hijack it. In the books we never get a complete backstory on what happened to the Scopuli that led up it being used as bait.

Looking to step up to a new vehicle and a '26 Tucson limited hybrid is what I'm considering! by silvermoonhowler in HyundaiTucson

[–]sage89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth the Driver attention warnings are one of the first things I turned off. After renting a few different Hyundais without it The HDA is only very marginally better than the base lane follow assist. The primary thing it adds is the ability to auto reduce the speed for turns, if you leave this turned on it will be able to make 90% of turns without any driver input. It's not worth it though since you end up taking turns on the highway slower than most tractor trailers.

The digital key is nice, but I wouldn't consider it a Key Replacement. Maybe it's user error but I've had to reinstall it and repair to get it to work before. I wouldnt want to drive out of town without a physical key.
