Checking in as the guy who goes skiing fairly regularly (1-2 weeks/yr for a southerner) who has never been injured skiing. It’s been years since I fell. My in-laws have a place in Silverthorne so we mostly do Copper, Keystone, and Breckenridge when it hits the pass. Leaving for a trip out there later today. We might check out Loveland pass if it’s gotten enough snow. I hit 58mph last trip. Maybe I can beat that this time.

I learned how to ski in high school and I did mostly fine, no serious injuries ever. I only ever skied in Wisconsin though. I would go 2-3 times a year, but about 10 years ago I stopped going. Mostly it was because I didn't have any friends that liked to go skiing, so there wasn't much of a reason to go. Now I'm afraid of how bad I would be if I took it up again.

A series of close photo crops that appear to be a cocaine-fueled BDSM party aftermath but are just granddad's shop.

It's weird how much less your legs get blown out when you can stop. harperdc posted:Skiiiiiiiiing If you want to get back into shape for skiing Peloton is a great way. The thigh burn is not nearly as bad when you're doing Peloton three times a week.

I never injured myself skiing, despite falling over a lot. I only did green / blue routes, no black diamonds though. I've got multiple people who have expressed interest in going and now I have an AWD vehicle, so... no reason not to! (Except the season is almost over, oops)

sometimes kids are the worst and your 2 year old wakes up in a mood and the morning is on a downward spiral. And then your 6 year old disappears to her art table, then gives her sister a card and a hug and it's all worth it.

Grew up in a ski town (Bend), mainly did cross-country skiing until grad school, then moved to Switzerland and did a lot of downhill skiing on the Alps. Have never had a major ski injury, a few friends I know have had them but all of theirs are from something stupid happening on a crowded run. Ski powder, never get hurt. Also listen to your instincts about whether you might trigger a snow movement, almost got one of my colleagues when he ignored that instinct.

Yeah, I'm slightly less mean on Borderlands' story then most, but they put out 6 posters, for Roland, Lilith, Claptrap, Tiny Tina, Stanis and Krieg. Add in Kevin Hart playing Roland and you're looking at a movie that's looking to be Cate Blanchett carting around 5 different comic relief characters.... I just can't see this working out.

Bend is a shockingly cool town for being like 3 hours from any other form of civilization. I have some family there. It reminds me a lot of my city in Colorado with less of an insane population boom Also ski chat reminded me of my buddy in high school who was coming down to the lodge at Mach 10 for some reason (he was a very good skier, did black diamond+ regularly). Hit a patch of lovely icy snow as he went to slow down (sup New England skiing), took a digger and DESTROYED his collar bone. He had to have pins inserted and had this absolutely massive scar on his chest. So much for the teenage invincibility aura  If I get back out there my plan is to very much remember I am old and frail and go about 5mph

I do like that a lot of video games use the standard VAs for most parts (The Jennifer Hales and Troy Bakers of the world) then sprinkle in some pretty famous people for random roles. I'd never play the Yakuza games in English but Infinite Wealth features Daniel Dae Kim and Danny Trejo as some of the primary antagonists, as well as Bill Farmer, aka THE VOICE OF GOOFY voicing Date. https://twitter.com/TheGoldenBolt/status/1758260383087816742

Cate Blanchette is a treasure, but her American accents are always weird and I don’t know why she needed one for this one. Anyway the movie looks obnoxious, but suppose that’s faithful to the spirit of the IP. Seems to suffer from the same malady as Netflix Cowboy Bebop of slavishly replicating the style of the animation in live action, rather than, you know, adapting it into something that doesn’t look stupid.

Live Action One Piece was really fun and quality. But the fight scenes sucked. Which makes sense but still kind of a let down.
