Rant About Whatever

MinggI can only speak for my hill, but the reason our lifts haven't been updated is because there is no reason for a high speed lift on a 400 foot hill. It's just not feasible/necessary. So they keep the old lifts. I'm going to guess there's a similar mentality for the small Midwest hills as well.

crotchventim not saying get a high speed lift but having lifts that are constantly broken would be nice

MinggThere's always a reason my dude even if it's not obvious.

crotchventA lot of hills in the midwest from experience have super old lifts that are prone to breaking down. Interested to see what vail did with wilmont cause they pretty much always have atleast 2 lifts down.

SconnieI know several people who work there. Wages have been the same for >10 years despite inflation and the terrain park is being cut back. He closes chairs during the week so the locals don't get to ski 80% of the hill, but everything is open in time for the weekend warriors. $80 is a joke, I wouldn't pay that for most western resorts.

MinggI can't speak for any other part of your post.

However, I was a lifty at my local hill two seasons ago. The reason they close lifts during the week is because they can't afford it. This was a small hill so it just didn't make sense financially to keep everything open all the time.

On the weekends they open everything up because there's enough people there. And it makes sense to do so, with more of the hill open there's less congestion/lines etc.

On the price issue, we pay $80 too. It sucks. I would never pay that but that is why I would buy a season pass. Costs of running a resort are high no matter how many or few people are there. Ya gotta do what you gotta do to stay afloat. /:

MidsRap music isnt music anymore.

here we go.
I've been thinking this all day. My friends have been trying to get me into Kodak Black or Lil Uzi or some shit. I just don't get it. Call me old but where the fuck did the art go? It just seems like if you mumble over a snare drum and tweak your voice with auto-tune then you got a hit song. Oh and make sure you talk about how gangster you are and how many xannys you take. I was trying my best to listen to a soundcloud playlist my friend made for me and every song I listened to just made me more and more pissed off. I miss the actual rap where you actually wrote several bars that all had a deep meaning or had a funny punch-line. Then said them on beat with different flows.
I also say this while listening to Diablo by Mac Miller. Sooooo....

little_booAnother fucking roommate rant because I don't get how people are so godamn lazy.
My bf's roommate is mind blowingly dumb sometimes. Sure, she has a job so she doesn't have endless amounts of time... But I have a job and am in law school, my bf has a real job and then spends his spare time working on the house, and yet we still magically have more time than her to clean because her spare time is spent watching netflix and taking naps. While I don't mind putting in the extra effort to clean the shared parts of the house, seeing as how my bf owns the place and she just rents a room, the least she could fucking do is show some respect and lend a hand on the most BASIC shit. See the recycling is getting full- how about instead of balancing your stupid muffin container on the top you take it out on the way to your car? Using peanut butter, syrup, or jelly- how about not leaving trails of it all over the clean kitchen? Want to use our pan to cook your eggs- how about you actually CLEAN it before putting it in the drying rack rather than leaving it greasier than a cheeseburger and calling it a day? We've already had to talk to you about this, how is it that fucking difficult to remember

_faaaHow come this sounds so fucking familiar. Any chance this said room mate comes from Berlin is around 20 and has a twice as old boyfriend? Doesnt even clean her shit? Always "busy" (aka. laying in her bed and watching Netflix or spending dads money) or "tired from work"? Kitchen and living room would looks like a junkyard if you aren t cleaning it regularly?

Well if yes, thats my room mate. Welcome in the "I have lazy ass room mate who has no healthy sense for cleanliness" club.

I began seperating my kitchen stuff, like pans or pots from hers. So I have a clean pan whenever I wanna cook and not have to deal with a half rotten pan. Even worse: She s eating yogurt out of cups and doesnt wash them in the next days or even weeks.. This whole glass turns into a terrarium. More biodiversity in your sink than in the fucking everglades. Fucking disgusting.

I think quiet a few peeps here on NS made similar experience too...

AgitatedHiatusHad an interview today with a help desk. They wanted me to convert an edge pdf so it opened in adobe acrobat dc every single time. Misunderstood the question and it opened in adobe once. I eventually got it to work but hopefully they don't disqualify me.

theabortionatorMy car is fucking me pretty hard right now. It's more a time thing than anything but the head gasket didn't seal right and it's pissing oil. The part that needed to be welded is golden though. But now have to pull the fucking motor again and put a new gasket in.

I need to be on the road yesterday so this is killing me. Hoping to be on the road tomorrow

SkierBetchYup.
First shop did my clutch/tranny, clutch lasted a grand total of, wait for it: 1,536mi. It disintegrated on the freeway... I've been driving manual for 3 years and this is my 3rd manual vehicle not counting a dirt bike so I clearly know how to drive it.
They re-did it last December, cus well, it lasted fuck all of 1,536mi, and that one just went out yesterday at 7,508mi on that clutch/flywheel. They had such a disgusting attitude about the whole thing and were almost mad that they had to re-do their crappy work on it. We didn't have a choice but to let them re-do it cus they were doing it for free and it was going to be shelling out more than I had to get it fixed somewhere else. At this point, it's at a different shop cus there was no way I was going to let them fuck me over again. Thankfully I made it back from Incline without it going out entirely cus it could've been really sketchy on 267 if it went out. It's been spiking in RPM's like the clutch was slipping but since it was basically brand new, I didn't think twice about it. I'm at the stage of mad where I'm so livid about it that I can't even be mad. So now my car is at the shop cus it's such a bitch to do engine work on it that I sure as shit wasn't going to do. My old truck wasn't so bad to do at home but not the Scoobie, no fuckin way!

They could've at least bought me a meal if they were gonna fuck me in the ass.

I'd offer to help you if you were around Tahoe cus my dad has literally every tool you could possibly dream of in air-drill form. Makes everything so easy, plus a Snap-On torque bar. Car problems suck big time and at this point, I'm pretty decent at pulling parts and I have small hands. Good luck, man!

theabortionatorThat blows. I've been there though. HAd an engine blow up on the road years ago and got dicked around by a shop, had the new motor blow up right away and them bot do shit

Shady mechanics suck.

This was a friend job at least. I have good friends in philly area that work on cars for a living. Speed isn't always there but I can get a good result in the end.


Surprisingly I'm actually on my way to tahoe. Drove down from closer to canada, Not just waiting for the green light to send it.

Hoping tomorrow night I'm outta here. No rush anymore though. Missed the last orientation and I was invited to a big party of gay skiers/snowboarders on the 23rd that there's no way I'll make. Bummer about the party though. Was looking forward to meeting some people to shred with this winter.

I fixed a lot of other stuff in m sub in the past though. hoping shes bulletproof after this. We will see

SkierBetchAh I'm trying to just see it as not worth it to be upset about, it just sucks... Trying to tell myself don't be a little bitch, be happy it wasn't something more serious but I'm so over this year. It would be decent if I could catch the next stop off the struggle bus.
That coupled with seriously the most annoying and biggest hassle as far as school stuff goes, I'm not a happy camper lately. Now magically credits that counted over the summer are now only going to be accepted as electives per the second academic advisor I spoke to. Yet, the head of admissions and transfer coordinator were 100% positive that "oh yea those will transfer on as our gen ed requirements". So now I'm going back and forth about if I even want to go anymore, but if I don't go that means no ski team this year. Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to take the time off but I'm just frustrated people were pulling answers out of their asses instead of tracking down the correct information. All their sources online say different things than I was told by all 4 people I talked to so, I didn't know what to believe. Especially since they were academic advisors, people who were supposed to help... Ah well... Just wish they hadn't left it up until last fuckin week to make that apparent to me.

Man, the really sucks! It just blows when you miss things you were looking forward to or really wanted to enjoy. I feel that, I'm still looking for people to shred with, my ski buddies went down to SoCal for school, decided to finish up the year there. Hopefully it'll be solid after a head gasket fix, they're just so sucky to do in the Subarus. Really tho, if you're around Tahoe, I'm all over the place here. I just can't go too hard until I get my brace.

Hopefully it'll all work out! It's hard to remind yourself sometimes that it's small shit and it will pass eventually. Mostly just a disappointment than anything, but tomorrow is another day.

MinggDidn't go skiing today because I was too nervous. Who the fuck gets too nervous to go skiing? Sometimes I wish my brain could just chill out for a hot second or two and let me be normal.

crotchventThey just set up the park at my hill with all these brand new boxes but i didn't bring home my helmet so i chickened out of that.

SkierBetchI dunno, I'm pretty nervous to go cus I wrecked myself good at the end of last season, had ACL/meniscus surgery in May and now I just desperately want to keep it in one piece! But yea, same I think I'll try and go for an hour or two and convince myself my leg isn't going to fall apart or anything ridiculous.

I guess I'll feel better when my brace arrives, but for now, I'll just be chicken shit for a little bit longer XD

Rodiganis it difficult to pay in restaurants where you are?

Rodiganwell what if you want to leave in a hurry?

SkierBetchYou know what... Come to think of it, I haven't really eaten out in Truckee or Tahoe in forever now. Are you just getting like super shitty service or is it just packed?

RodiganTalking about UK. When I ask for the bill it means I want to pay and leave to do other things not sit there with a mini invoice for another 15 mins. When you bring the bill bring the fucking card machine with you so I can actually pay instead of thinking about paying.......jeez

SconnieNext time somebody fucks up my order at a resteraunt, I'm going to walk right into the kitchen and dump that shit on the floor. I worked in a busy resteraunt kitchen for three years and it was fucking easy... nobody ever screwed up orders. Lazy bitches.
