We have those bathmats that are just mats without a rubber backing. The rubber backed ones tend to get really ratty and messed up in a dryer.
The pure cloth ones tend to last longer, imo. And they don't make your clothes smell like rubber. White ones work best, as they can be bleached as needed.
A lot of the top movies got mixed reviews from friends and family. I saw some that were meh. Hope next year has some better ones.
You can twist to brake with skis too! (hockey stop) :)
You shouldn't be exerting too much muscle if you are skiing on relatively unbroken terrain. The only time you really use a lot of leg muscle is in deep, deep, heavy powder, in order to keep your tips up. Or if you are going over huge moguls or bumps at a high rate of speed, using your legs as giant shock absorbers.
If you have tight boots, sharp ski edges, and a slightly forward stance, your leg muscles shouldn't tire out very quickly.
I went to a Young Life gathering to try and meet people at uni freshman year. The first one was a slightly awkward BBQ at someone's off campus house. The second was on campus event that dropped off into that Uncanny Valley of mormon-like sing-alongs and activities.
My buddy and I surveyed the room, felt the hair on the back of our necks prickle, and we got out of there.
If you've seen Heretic or The Endless, it gave off those religious vibes. Too happy/smiley. Too weirdly perfect. Everyone talking about volunteering at kids camps over the summer and how fulfilling it was.
Like, I'm glad that people found something they liked. But it wasn't people talking about real stuff, like their awesome mountain biking adventure over the summer, or volunteering overseas to rescue animals, or even getting over alcoholism. It was all hyper religious forced positivity, and this is coming from someone who grew up religious.
It's like that scene in the Incredibles where Mr. Incredible gets inside the robot, and has it tear itself to pieces. Except an entire country. And ~88,000,000 people voted against self-destruction and are being dragged off a cliff.
It looks unrelated at first glance, but this basically sums up 2010-2023 in a nutshell for the crazies.
Personally, I wouldn't. This dude already has one foot in the grave and also has super bad ADHD. I expect the tariffs won't hold once he realizes they are bad for business.
As others have also said, I wouldn't tie your nest egg and protesting together. It's valiant, but there are better ways to protest without taking gains.
A wooden one? Can you send a picture? That actually sounds kinda interesting.
