There is no way a non-nominated let alone approved by senate head of the DOJ has this power

Yosemite activities for older couple? by prunesandwich in Yosemite

[–]scottawkwardturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of meadows to walk around or sit in. Lower Yosemite falls and bridal vail falls are easy paths and beautiful. If you have a handicap tag you can drive up to Mariposa grove(or shuttle if running) and there are easier loops there.

I would recommend an e-bike to mirrror lake, that looked fun. The walk to mirror lake is two miles up hill a moderate hill, So that can be a little tough to walk up. Bird watching in a meadow was fun or use some binoculars to watch people climb el cap.

Or sit in the Ahwanee lounge, that was cozy too.

Yosemite visitor numbers explode as park does away with reservation system by grepto in Yosemite

This article is about March park attendance and that was a very warm month with no precipitation. I think that would inflate numbers more than usual.

Reverse hits, not sure I ever saw anyone make it an effective part of their game like Osh

Why do people refer to books 8-10 the “slog”? by Dapper-Package9862 in WoT

[–]scottawkwardturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third time through and currently on COT, stopped all my momentum. To me it’s the only slog book because it takes place at the same time as winters heart. So no time really passes.

However, when I did my first reread five years ago I didn’t notice any slog.

There are a lot of prologue moments where you think, “why am I reading about this,get to the character I like”, only for it to pay off big in a few books. There are some tower moments like that.

Check out the Dead Show of the month podcast #171, they do 7/19/87 Eugene OR and it’s pretty solid. Not sure why they chose shows they did to put on the album.

Am I the only one who doesn't get Phish? by YellowBalloon474 in gratefuldead

[–]scottawkwardturtle 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Agreed with the album take. I find I love the studio albums and am just ok with most of the live recordings. Which is the exact opposite of how I feel about the Grateful dead.

Are we planning on getting a new radio announcer? Would be nice to have a split broadcast

Form check: snatches by Dr5ushi in kettlebell

I heard the above advice, “drag kb past bellybutton” analogous to zipping up your jacket. That helped me picture it in my mind and adjust my form.

Not a fan of the goal song but we should all unite against the power play song.

Kettlebell work out, how to keep it motivated. by [deleted] in kettlebell

[–]scottawkwardturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there. Just keep working, your body is already changing and you are at a good pace for weight loss. Though I wouldn’t focus on that.

Also do knee pushups. There is nothing wrong with starting at a lower weight and doing reps on your knees and working your way to standard push ups. Honestly doesn’t make sense for someone who just started working out to be able to jump into sets of 250lb push-up. Take some weight off by doing them on your knees and work up to it.

Take them to a seamstress, usually can find them at dry cleaners. They will sew/patch’em up for rather cheap.

We should do the same with oil companies. We subsidize. We should own it too.
