  • See what you can get by putting some subtle feelers out. Talk to a recruiter or two. Best time to search for a job is while you have one, but you don’t have to commit to it full time unless shit really hits the fan. You’re more likely to get written up than fired initially anyway if he’s not the owner, erratic or not he has to answer for that.

    Continue working towards whatever certifications you want in the meantime, especially if the job pays/reimburses you for it.





  • This is plausible. That or it’s just a really cheap policy - no windstorm/hail damage is very much NOT normal for homeowners though, even so.

    The rest of this is pretty standard stuff and the fact that people seem angry/surprised by it speaks volumes to how little attention they’ve paid to their own policies. Read your paperwork y’all. It’s tedious, but you are also party to the insurance contract that you’re paying for. It can also help you find grey areas of coverage, and a grey area (ambiguous language) tends to work out well for the insured party (you, if you have insurance).



  • This is a super weird hill to die on imo. Obviously, Heavenly is at fault here, but choosing to rely solely on others by not bringing your cell is also a decision that she made that worked out poorly.

    Sure, you can break your phone falling, but I’d much rather risk a broken phone than being stuck somewhere without it, or getting lost off piste or something and only having my voice to call for help.

    You claim “LOTS” of people don’t bring theirs, but I’d guess that’s still a tiny minority of people on the mountain overall. I tend to get over 20 days a year and go with a pretty sizeable crew, literally no one leaves their phone in the car because then you can’t find anyone if you get separated, you can’t listen to music, you can’t take sweet pics/vids, you can’t call ski patrol if you or someone with you gets hurt (obviously you can still go find them but calling is faster if you have service).






  • Hmmm. I’ve had rabbit prepared 5 different ways at a very expensive restaurant once (had just gotten a bonus for the first time in my life and it landed on my wife and I’s anniversary). It was fantastic, like dark meat from a turkey or chicken, but a tad gamey which I didn’t mind.

    Venison is delicious, as is elk. Buffalo burgers are solid, not much different than regular. I’ve had ostrich jerky but it’s pretty much the same as most other jerkys by that point.

    Had shark once, was very good and similar to swordfish.

    Funnily enough all of these things I tried in the US, and none while actually traveling abroad despite adventures to most of the continents at this point.
