The difference between the two sides of #wintersports:
If your event is on ice, the ice is the one thing most likely to break your ass.
If your event is on snow, the snow is the one thing most likely to save your ass.

Making a crockpot of chili (6 hours mode).
Talking to myself (well, to the chili ingredients).
To the chili - next beer at 4:30.
To the can of beans - you go in at 5.
To the masa flour - you go in at 6. No, 6:30. Bring a friend.
God bless Alan Rickman. This is immortality. #AlanRickman

Dear: @thinkbigpicture.substack.com.web.brid.gy
My only problem with your latest post is that while, yeah, yay for new energy...GenX isn't dead yet.
I am not too keen that after living under my parents rules for 35 years, I now should feel forced to live under my children's. When is *our* time?

Looking at the current #CostCo 'coupon' book (well, they are just discounts now, no more coupon-clipping), and there is a "Men's Tech Short" short #pants by Eddie Bauer.
They've got AI built in them? Is Bauer a tech-bro?
Do they #bitcoin mine by using the energy generated as you walk around?
