I know you don't consume YouTube content, but you should watch a few.

I have the iPhone 11 Pro (the "smallest" iPhone that Apple makes besides the new SE). The photos are insane, *especially* the night mode feature. I use the wide angle lens all the time, too. However, it's stupid expensive and would the iPhone 11 do 95% the job? Absolutely. FWIW, two phones ago I had an iPhone 7 which had a lower water resistance rating. I had 0 issues. Insane amounts of sweat, several drops in the lake, plenty of submersions. I upgraded to the iPhone XS that had a higher water resistance rating, and I had 3 sweat related failure. My iPhone 11 has an even better water resistance rating, and again, 0 issues.

Well start watching Mediocre Amateur...tons of content to keep you occupied for awhile. I think I actually prefer MA...they're normal guys who are truly mediocre amateurs.

I like how he called around local hospitals to make sure they had room for Christof 😂

Yes, and iMessage has end-to-end encryption. Not even "the man" can see dick picks come across "the wire". I know I've said this to you before, as you have brought up things like 23 & Me. Avoid them like the plague. Laws governing genetic privacy are way too weak, and if the data exists, the government will get access to it if they want to. It was a personal internal struggle for me when I decided to get GlobalEntry. I had to give "the man" my finger prints for the first time, ever. Do I trust DHS with that data? No. But, the convenience of PreCheck/GlobalEntry was worth the additional exposure I thought. You can never completely mitigate the data privacy risk, as that would mean you'd have no electric devices connected to the internet, but you can limit your risk by avoiding unnecessary data sharing.

Data privacy and security is a serious topic that most people are total oblivious to. It's one of the reasons why I'll keep buying Apple products. You are not their product, their hardware/services are their product. You pay the "Apple Tax" so they don't have to sell your personal data for profit (like Google does). There is a reason why Apple is in the hot seat over their device encryption and lack of backdoors. They know that if a government backdoor exists, it'll be exploited by others. But, I also don't believe that there should be a government backdoor. Here's a good Last Week Tonight with Edward Snowden from a years ago. Snowden puts data privacy and government surveillance into a topic everyone can wrap their heads around....dick pics.

@NMSKI i think it's time to take the stakes out...no chance of snow any time soon 😬

You have nice grass 🤷‍♂️

@toast21602 that picture looks like the exact same one you posted last spring 😍

Do people actually bother with the tap? I'm pretty sure when Justo mounted a pair of my skis with a metal topsheet, no tap was used and they've held up fine over the years.

Same here. This rain/sun combo is great for growth.

I've heard you say "my wife would kill me if I did ________" on plenty of occasions 🤷‍♂️

I'm no Trump fan, but your incessant Trump hating isn't productive and it dilutes your message. It's like @indiggio complaining about the lack of bumps at Blue.

😑

Put the summer rubber on today.

None at my Giant, but I've heard reports of Wegmans having some in the last few days?

I was hoping this would be my first year to ski Tucks...even before this Coronavirus shit started 😷

Love it @moe ghoul. Keep getting after it so we can live variously through you.

I have readjusted my predicted "return to the office" day to July 1 🤷‍♂️

I ride past there all the time. I’m always surprised how busy the boat launch parking lot is...filled with non-PA plates. They do have a nice restroom, though 😃

Maybe we'll have to do some touring in your familiar zones before Telluride next year

I drive by the fire entrances to PCP on 423, and past the main entrances on 191/196. I *always* see Pocono Mtn Regional Police flying towards that place. So much crime.

Well, I'm working on joining the touring crew. Deals have too good to pass up. Picked up some Lange XT Free 130 LVs which are considerably lighter than my RS130s, have a tour mode (more cuff movement), and have tech inserts. Also, picked up Atomic (Salomon) Shift bindings which are a tech pin binding on the way up, and a true alpine toe/heel on the way down. They're going to be mounted on some Kastle FX96HPs in 180cm. It's not the lightest setup in the world, but all 3 pieces are compromises towards increase downhill performance. It will certainly be the lightest ski/binding/boot combo by far in my quiver. I'll get some skins sometime between now and next year. Also need to get them mounted.

"chubby"....🤨
