Yeah, I spent a week there for Christmas 2021 and really liked it. It's a really cool city. It's reasonably priced for Europe and the beer is incredibly cheap. The food is fantastic (if you're a fan of simple hearty stuff). There's a ton to see and do, especially related to medieval and early modern history. Most of the old buildings survived WW2 which is somewhat of a rarity.
It's also a European capital that still feels like a European city, rather than a generic international mess.

Thinking of going in November to see a screening of Return of the King with a live symphony

bros a natural 😱
In all fairness I have a ton of experience from the trampoline, so once I'm in the air I do have muscle memory but poles definitely make it a little harder
bros I was cooking on the sat practice, I only got 1 question wrong on the first 3 parts of the test combined, then I totally threw on the 2nd math section and got like 8 wrong 😠still a 1460 but I'm really hoping to get to the 1480 mark, which with my normal math scores I would've.
also I just remembered I have like 2 fucking massive ap chem labs due tomorrow, fuck AP chem and also I just detest my teacher now because the class is so hard. never never ever take this fucking class it's so horrible genuinely disgusting.
SlushSeasonWe're only one step away from having scalper bots run the parking reservation economy
Honestly, I could see something like what has happened with the Koreans selling LA golf tee times happening for skiing. It really wouldn't be hard with how few spots resorts have in the grand scheme of things.
Anyone got any book recommendations? My ski season is over with an injury so I got a lot of free time to kill now. Currently blazing through 3 Body Problem series and gonna read Shogun next but looking for more.

can't think of anything to recommend off the top of my head but shogun is excellent. long but it's appropriate for the tale being told. haven't met many people who weren't happy they read it

If you like non-fiction Alex Kerr's books about Japan and Thailand are excellent. And if you like travelogues Donald Richie's Inland Sea or any of Bill Bryson's books are very fun to read

Lmao i hadn't heard of that. I'm sure it's infuriating for LA golfers though, especially if it's an organized group of foreigners doing it.

What are you into?
Heres some of what ive enjoyed over the past couple of years or so.
If you like sci-fi:
I really like Andy Weir's writing style. Project Hail Mary is my favorite, but the Martian is great as well and it's fun to see the similarities to the movie.
Fantasy:
I really enjoy Brandon Sanderson. Any of his works really. Most people start on mistborn, but you could also start at one of the standalone novels - His other series, the Stormlight Archive are great books for high fantasy. But I'd recommend seeing if you like his style in one of the shorter series/standalones before you dive into what will eventually be a 10 book series of 1200+ page books. (Currently 4 out, with the fifth announced for December 2024)
Other fiction I've enjoyed:
World War Z - (the acted audiobook is particularly great.) Way different than the shitty movie. ----- Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is always a classic series. Lord of the Rings is an outstanding classic. Dan Brown's Inferno is a good thriller/mystery about a virus and is set in the same world as Angels and Demons/Davinci Code.
Non-Fiction:
If you're into ww2 then Helmet for my pillow is great. Its by Robert Leckie who was one of the main characters in the Pacific - Same thing with With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge ----- The Rock Warriors Way is a great book about mindset in climbing, but it is also applicable to other action sports/daily life as well.

Children of time fucking slaps. I know you read expanse and this is the same, if not even greater level of sci-fi world-building.
Read it with my opa who has kept a 45 year long 500 page ranking of books that he's read and he put it in his top 25 for scifi

re-learning how to ride snowmobiles was fun today, but also kinda sketch when the track runs freely and you need to work the clutch and brake at the same time. I miss riding my lil Polaris Indy 340 as a kid. I now want to buy an old-school ditchbanger or a mod sled.

Ya know having your hours cut back below 40 hours/week mid season and having the OT budget completely slashed really does not bode well with offering to have workers back for next season. If the budget is cooked and numbers/profits were down, do you really expect to make all that money back during the summer/fall? And if so, how?
VTshredder69This is why you don't fuck with russia
lmao bro the guys killed 140 people and then the entire group escaped the scene. literally the only developed country on earth that would let that happen
SofaKingSicklmao bro the guys killed 140 people and then the entire group escaped the scene. literally the only developed country on earth that would let that happen
Werent they also warned by multiple other countries that they were going to get hit by ISIS at a concert?

and now they're cutting off their ears and beating them senseless. Please explain how they in fact 'escaped'.
profa_212Werent they also warned by multiple other countries that they were going to get hit by ISIS at a concert?
yeah. from the outside looking in i can't have much of an opinion on how big a miss that was for them, but the way the attack played out and prigozhin's ability to ride at the capital so freely during his rebellion last year are major black eyes for russian security
VTshredder69and now they're cutting off their ears and beating them senseless. Please explain how they in fact 'escaped'.
yeah, a few days later. it's great they got them, what i said is it's notable that the terrorists were able to escape the scene after lazily killing 140 people at a huge shopping mall thing

You sound like one of the people who think Ukraine is also winning the war? Lol. All Russia is doing is copying the USA's military industrial complex.
