You know what’s great? Stumbling, totally by accident, into something that looks like a perfect romantic getaway activity. - Mop Feb 8, 20:50 4
- Eh, a group activity is not that romantic (unless it is a swingers situation). Still a nice find, though. -- nm - Spawn Feb 8, 21:30 1

Do curlers ever make any serious errors? Skaters fall, football players fumble - do curlers accidentally kick stones or anything? -- nm - Max Feb 8, 20:48 4
- Yes. Touching stones. Throwing too hard. Over curling. It can be subtle because of the nuances of the game, but it can be catostrophic. - Mop Feb 8, 20:53 1
  - I saw *two* matches today decided by a touched stone. -- nm - Mop Feb 8, 20:55
- yes -- nm - mud Feb 8, 20:51

I love how utterly stoked the moguls commentators are. -- nm - Mop Feb 8, 20:34 3
- Don't you get excited watching people's knees explode? - colin Feb 8, 20:37 2
  - The way those knees go up and down is just mind blowing. - Mop Feb 8, 20:42 1
    - I think Super G slalom is much harder on the knees, the moguls make your knees do what they are supposed to do, you are not lifting your body... - zeitgeist Feb 8, 21:31

- it's just ok. the 3rd act is a mess -- nm - Remlik Feb 8, 20:33 1

    - Oh, I made a mistake spoiler - crash davis Feb 8, 20:34 1
      - No, they’ll be talking about this throughout their Olympic coverage. A real confidence boost, I’m sure. -- nm - Mop Feb 8, 20:39
- search "Tara and Johnny" on twitter and try to find a positive comment about them. -- nm - Max Feb 8, 20:23 4
  - Twitter is an echo chamber of hate. -- nm - Mop Feb 8, 20:28 3
    - if you feel that, you need to make better choices of who you follow/what you look at/etc. there's plenty of good like, say, this ("good place" ref.) -- (link) - b. Feb 8, 20:31 2
      - Max mentioned all the haters. Not I. -- nm - Mop Feb 8, 20:33 1

I was no where near that good on moguls and I didn't do aerials. Those women and men in that event amaze me. -- nm - crash davis Feb 8, 19:42 1
- It's gnarly. I was on the ski team for 3 years. I did great at moguls, but catching air scared me so I doubt I got more than two feet in the air on - Bacon Feb 8, 19:47
Candians. My wife says we have enough Alaska miles for almost two round trip tickets. For Jasper, Banff, Lake Louise area. Better to fly - Bacon Feb 8, 19:29 9
- Calgary. -- nm - mafic Feb 8, 19:50 2
  - Calgary's closer to Banff than Edmonton is to Jasper, you'll save a bit of driving, and also a shorter flight. -- nm - mafic Feb 8, 19:51 1
    - Thx. I was pretty sure that was the answer. But I figured there might be some weird reason Edmonton would be better. - Bacon Feb 8, 19:54
- The mention of Banff made Lunch with Charles pop into my head. I wonder if it’s available to stream anywhere. -- nm - Dano Feb 8, 19:42
- I’ve been wanting to take the kids to Banff. *tagging post to follow thread* -- nm - Mop Feb 8, 19:32 4
  - nah. I mean ideally you might do Calgary-Banff-Jasper-Edmonton, but if not then Calgary. -- nm - mafic Feb 8, 19:53 2
    - I looked at that too. It is possible. Need to see how 40k airline miles pencil out in tickets and pick the best -- nm - Bacon Feb 8, 20:34
    - should be an answer to Bacon. I'm good at posting. -- nm - mafic Feb 8, 19:54
  - The answer for just Banff is Calgary easy answer there. Jasper though Edmonton might be better, waiting for input -- nm - Bacon Feb 8, 19:33
Portland to Calgary $163 if I fly to LAX then to Calgary, $320 if I fly to Seattle then Calgary. Fuck you airlines, you are dumb! -- nm - Bacon Feb 8, 19:18 5
- I was once in Denver and wanted to fly to PDX. The only affordable flight was Jetblue - ty97 Feb 8, 19:20 4
  - Wow -- nm - Bacon Feb 8, 19:22 3
    - TBF, I didn't go to PDX that weekend. -- nm - ty97 Feb 8, 19:29 2
      - Last time you came out and we had lunch were you working in PDX or Denver? -- nm - Bacon Feb 8, 19:30 1
        
        When I met you for dinner, I was working in Beaverton. -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 8, 19:31

Redmond, most of the m&c recipes call for cooking the macaroni first (with water and spices), then putting the instant pot in sauté mode and adding - kelly Feb 8, 18:46 7
- patryk made me mac and cheese 100% IP. let's see if he'll give the recipe. -- nm - windows jones Feb 8, 18:47 2
  - IP some stuff, then stir in the rest. Doesn't really need to saute more, just stir. -- (link) - patryk Feb 8, 18:59
  - I make it 100% IP too, just in 2 steps. Mac cooked in Manual mode, cheese added in sauté mode. -- nm - kelly Feb 8, 18:57
- cooking the macaroni first? That is not why I bought and insta pot. Throw it all in and hit the button!!!!! -- nm - Bacon Feb 8, 18:47 3
  - NO, you cook it in the IP first. After it’s cooked and you’ve released the pressure, you put it onsautee mode and add the cheese and milk. It melts - kelly Feb 8, 18:52 2
    - Okay, I'm learning -- nm - Bacon Feb 8, 18:56 1
      - Nah, I wasn’t clear. :) -- nm - kelly Feb 8, 18:57

  - My kid is younger than yours so I got that one. I had never heard of Nash automobiles and I thought I knew most of the old companies. -- nm - spamlet Feb 8, 18:23 3
    - Yeah, I went out on Nash too. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 8, 20:35

        If I haven't figured out how to suck less by now... -- nm - spamlet Feb 8, 18:21 1
        
        I can barely see you, alllllll the way back there -- nm - The Line of Adequacy Feb 8, 18:28
Olympic figure skating spoilers - Dano Feb 8, 18:05 5
- The worst thing about that German’s performance was the swing version of Wonderwall. -- nm - Mop Feb 8, 18:42
- Did I miss Israel? They’re showing them as - Mara Feb 8, 18:12 3
  - They showed a profile of an American athlete instead of showing that performance. -- nm - Dano Feb 8, 18:17 2

  - yeah, like why the crap did they mangle that tree? It looked great, now it looks like it's going to die. -- nm - Max Feb 8, 18:23 3
    - oh, huh, they updated the linked page to have video. the pruning they did will actually help the tree be healthier/live longer. - b. Feb 8, 18:29
    - Trees here that get too big and heavy tend to collapse and kill people. -- nm - Meg Feb 8, 18:26 1
      - pff, grow more people! -- nm - Max Feb 8, 18:31
  - People using the park say they never noticed a thing :) -- nm - Meg Feb 8, 17:56 11
    - to say multi level tree house is over sell, it was a couple panels wedged for a platform or two, a few lean to shed like boxes - zeitgeist Feb 8, 20:34
    - Tangent (that I think I have mentioned here): growing up we had a tree in or back yard that I could climb about 75 feet into. Had a bucket on a rope - Spawn Feb 8, 20:28
    - I actually get that part, it's the fish and care-related logistics that puzzle me some. -- nm - b. Feb 8, 17:59 8
      - They were goldfish...low maintenance. -- nm - Meg Feb 8, 18:02 6
        
        in a bowl big enough for that many; and water still has to be changed regularly, etc. unless they were all new new, they would have died before long - b. Feb 8, 18:10 4
        
        They probably brought up jugs, dipped a bunch out and poured more in. -- nm - Spawn Feb 8, 20:29 1
        
        if you see the end of the video, notsomuch with the fresh, unfortunately. -- nm - b. Feb 8, 20:32
        
        unless it wasn't exactly...an aquarium. -- nm - Max Feb 8, 18:23 1
        
        did you watch to the end of the video? -- (edited) - b. Feb 8, 18:32
        
        Sometimes the idea of low maintenance intrigues me. I type this while a cat demanding attention has its paw in my face. -- nm - crash davis Feb 8, 18:09
      - I get not noticing it after its there. But moving in the building materials? even if it was after hours -- nm - crash davis Feb 8, 18:01
Omarosa says she wouldnt vote for Trump again in a million years. -- nm - Jovian Feb 8, 17:48 6
- Why the fuck should we care? -- nm - znufrii Feb 8, 19:51 1
  - But also, why the fuck would she? - Spawn Feb 8, 20:30
- I'm sure she wouldn't. But she'll probably still vote Republican and the GOP bears the blame fore Trump. -- nm - TWuG - Fly, Falcon, Fly! Feb 8, 19:24
- She’s lying. Or maybe she isn’t. I doubt she can even be bothered to vote at all. - Mop Feb 8, 18:46
