Ski season doesn't start until January in my mind. Anything before that is lagniappe. December always has poor conditions and a shite load of people packed onto limited terrain. I live 25 minutes from the resort and usually only make it up like once until after the holidays

Both statements can be accurate - anything before Christmas can be lagniappe and we can be at the lowest snowpack and snow-water-equivalent in recorded history (at least here in the PNW).

I've never had it. Is it overrated or worth the hype?

it's overrated but a decent burger.

the shakes are yummy.

the only places i've seen with longer lines than in and out burger are dutch bros. coffee, which never made sense to me. in and out burger is a decent fast food burger (so, good for what it is). there's absolutely nothing at dutch bros. worth waiting in line for...

I can’t tell if it’s all an act for attention, if it’s intentional to try to destroy or divide MAGA, or if she is literally insane and believes this shite

the people who fell for the q anon bullshite are looking for a new conspiracy theory to believe in. maybe she's going after that demographic?

Yep. Keep the vibes positive and pray for snow.

I have been, we got a Pineapple Express instead. So much for my prayers :lol:

Got my first turns of the season this weekend at Bogus Basin, which had 1 lift and 1 run open (along with a terrain park serviced by a carpet). At least we're skiing...on a 4 inch base. This time last year the entie frontside of the mountain was wide open.

Mid-to-long term forecast doesn't look good for the PNW and SW Idaho, more rain and record highs. Wish it wasn't such a long flight to the East Coast, would book a trip to Stowe or Jay Peak.

antiviruses.me was the URL of the site.

I got it from the Poli Board post entitled "House Democrat announces articles of impeachment against Hegseth"

Also got in on the Coaching Changes board and OT Lounge.

Oh really. Then who do YOU think we follow?

i mean, not to get too theological but one could make a strong argument that christianity is a religion about jesus, not the religion of jesus.

jesus preached an idiosyncratic version of judaism. you could argue that paul was the true founder of christianity (while still acknowledging jesus christ as our lord and savior).

There is indeed a lot of truth to people feeling stuck, but thinking socialism can fix that is next-level insanity.

you ain't wrong.

i guess the sentiment is that "the system is broke, we'll try anything".

that sentiment gets president trump elected but also other candidates who don't conform to the status quo (like muslim socialists with no real-world experience).

After last weekend when Bogus Basin got several inches and Sun Valley got 8-10 inches it hit 70 yesterday in Boise. While I'm happy to ride my bike without a jacket or vest I would like to ski this month and test out my new Atomic Hawx Ultra 120s :lol:

We're seeing that precipitation mid November too but it looks like it's on the edge of rain/snow here. They just installed a bunch of new snow guns at Bogus too but the temperature and humidity has to be right. The resorts in Colorado and Utah at higher elevations should be good, though. All the La Niña models that I've seen has a ribbon that shows above average cold/snow potential and below average cold/snow potential and southern Idaho is right in the middle...
Suns in 4!

Only to lose in the finals in 6 to the Bucks…

Stupid question, but are there already choke tubes installed? Are you trying to screw in tubes inside tubes? Sorry if I insulted your intelligence.

I bought a CZ O/U and the tubes are inserted and the extras are in a plastic container. Just a thought 

Yep, my Franchi has an internal choke tube that was already installed that's much shorter than the short/mid/long range chokes that came with it.

They built a shite load of them in Austin, taking away driving lanes and dedicating them for bikes or buses only. Generally they’re just used by electric scooters.

Yep. The sidewalks, bike lanes, and Greenbelt here in Boise are full of kids on Lime scooters and/or electric motos going 30mph and running over pets and old people.

That's why I stick to the singletrack. Mountain biking is more fun anyway.

I've been flying to Boise for about a year now for a project I have going on. It's a pretty liberal place. The university and the city are out there. There are rainbow LGBTQ flags on lights posts downtown.

There was a battle earlier this year between the state of Idaho and the city of Boise over pride flags. Idaho passed a law that only official flags can be flown on government property. Boise responded by voting the rainbow flag as an official city flag and kept flying it at the court house.

They also recently tried to change the city flag too. It was going to be one of those typical cartoonish boring designs you see from the left. Too much pressure caused them to keep the original flag.

Outside of Boise is very conservative. Caldwell, Nampa, etc. all hate Boise. I saw the governor speak at a private event recently in Nampa and he made some jokes about Boise and the flag ordeal. It was met with some loud cheers.

i think it would be more accurate to say outside of the north end and downtown (and maybe sunset and the bench), boise is conservative. of course the outer suburbs are very conservative.

the mayor and city council went full clown mode by voting the pride flag as *one of* the official city flags, not the only one. but there has been pushback against things like pride flags on harrison ave (a very wealthy part of the north end).

most people here are friendly toward everyone and keep things to themselves. "boise kind" is a real thing, but most folks wouldn't stand for BLM activists attacking a vigil.

it is definitely not comparable to denver as another poster suggested :lol: i go to SLC quite a bit for work, and that city feels more liberal than boise
Nice to see Egan Bernal back on top, that guy went through hell with those injuries.

So this is the second stage that the protestors disrupted to the point of cancellation, but they also hacked the race and team radios on one stage, caused a few crashes in various stages, and in stage 5 actually stopped the Israel Premier Tech team for about 1 minute during the TTT.

I doubt the Spanish authorities even want to stop the protests at this point. The race organizers would, of course but you have Spanish politicians agreeing with the protestors and openly saying IPT should be excluded from the race. Doesn't seem to be much political will to put a stop to it.
