Ski Season 2025/2026
Also, very glad we aren’t doing Telluride this year because their mountain is now closed due to a ski patrol strike. Yikes. (not that much of Colorado has good snow anyways)

Ski Season 2025/2026
My default destination is Telluride (not Epic) so I normally don’t pay attention to the Epic stuff, but this year we wanted to mix it up and we’re skiing with some friends who are Epic Pass holders, so that was part of the criteria. Knowing that we would choose an Epic mountain for our friends’ sake, I booked an Epic Day Pass for 2 days at a rate of $146/day, which was a slightly higher rate because I included holidays (not yet knowing location or dates). We landed on Breckenridge over MLK weekend, which is now showing $289/day, so that was almost a 50% savings. It also saves me 20% on gear rentals and saves 30% on lessons for my daughter. I consider that a pretty big win. There is a deadline in early December for booking the Epic Day Pass, but something to keep in mind for any of you next year who want < 5 days skiing at an Epic mountain.

Trump’s America
What about Liberation Day? The tariffs are generating so much money for the American people. What about following through on the campaign promise to finally release the Epstein files and expose those scumbags Clinton and Gates? That’s a major accomplishment. What about getting Erika Kirk back on the market so JD Vance can get a partner with a more suitable fabric color? What about getting the economy to record highs and ending the affordability hoax?

Their recent movie All of You also had nudity. I think it’s a misconception that Apple prohibits this, but no one is doing it to the extent that 2000-2015 HBO did it.

There was a topless girl in the Breaking Bad pilot and, to my knowledge, Gilligan did not light himself on fire.

Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
Where did the premise say anything about selling out your autonomy? I would interpret it as you are putting in the same amount of work from home that you would in the office, and that your professional autonomy is essentially equal. With regards to the 5 hours you are supposedly saving by not getting ready for work and commuting each day, I think it’s a fairly big assumption that most people would fill that time with productive personal activities. Some people would, especially those with demanding schedules who struggle to balance family commitments and personal interests and are highly motivated to make both work. But I think a lot of people would simply sleep more or waste time doomscrolling their phones. Meanwhile, the extra $120k could easily cover time saving expenses like a landscaping service, housekeeper, meal prep, etc.

It’s probably the couch thing. It’s well known that JD Vance likes to have sex with couches, and that oddity might be okay because lots of people have weird kinks, but most of those couches were less than 8 years old, which even Megyn Kelly would agree is a bridge too far.

For as nice as Carol’s house is, having her fridge pushed up against a wall is not ideal. Have fun opening the left side door. I know they built the house for the show and there probably wasn’t a lot of thought put into the kitchen layout, but come on.

Same. I apparently have different TV tastes from some of the posters here. I spent too much time pausing and consulting Google maps and looking at photos and other random shit from the checkpoints on his route. Enjoyed watching Carol finally take some time to fuck around.

I wish she would ask them: -where did the genetic code for the virus originate? who or what created it? -what is their end game? Pretty basic big picture questions that might help her understand what type of adversary she is up against.

Interesting to read these takes. I’m definitely team Carol. Maybe she’s a bit of a bitch but the situation kinda calls for it. I like her bitchiness. There are other shows where I can’t stand a main character that other viewers seem fine with and that usually ruins the show for me, so I get it.

Based on the ratio of dead people (~1 billion) to remaining live people (~7 billion), the average corpse would feed 7 people for how long? Assume average body weight of 180 lbs and ignore for a second the corpse has a lot of water weight, that’s 25.7 lbs of tissue per living human. Perhaps they are supplementing it with other dead animals or another nutrition source because that wouldn’t last very long. And then what happens? Start sacrificing the critically ill?
