I think you have to have a taste for high emotion to get the most out of the book. The gauntlet scene, the earthquake scene, the ending; those reach the peak of human emotion in my opinion.

It would help if the cotton industry came back. All these corn acres in the South used to be cotton and everyone was happy.

Sort of like Vicodin and Heroin. Similar triggers neurologically, but if you’ve never tried Heroin then Vicodin is as real as it gets.

To those that saying that there’s no automated fuel shut off mechanism, what happens if there is a flame out? Do the igniters automatically kick on? Seems like that would be extremely dangerous if the plane kept pumping fuel into the hot section after the reaction had been broken?

You can get a waiver by having a control tower flash the lights while with an examiner. That’s for second class, not sure about 1st or ATP.

Lou Pinella may not have the best one, but his catalog is the best imo. The way he’d toss his hat, jerked his head around, the faces he made, the antics etc. Just pure expression

False. That’s like saying the Ouija board is unclean but if you use it for good, then it’s good. You’re trying to justify following what the individual desires to do versus what God wants us to do.
The only way to use an Ouija board is to verbally summon evil spirits. You can practice yoga without that doing that. Also, God explicitly states in the Bible not to consult mediums, which is what an Ouija board is.

Some people won't like this, but practicing yoga is 100% an open door to the demonic
Romans 14:14 Nothing is unclean in itself.
But I agree that if you believe that yoga is demonic, or if you chant and focus on energies, chakras, or anything related to Buddhism, then it is evil. But so is meditation with that mindset, and we know that mediation is encouraged throughout the Bible. Even Jesus practiced it.
Yoga is a form of meditation, coupled with fitness, that can foster peace if your heart is in the right place. Similar to drinking alcohol. Demons have used abusing alcohol as a way in throughout history. But if alcohol was inherently evil, then Jesus would not have turned the water into wine.

The ligaments in the arm are a weird thing, unique to everyone. I mean, does it make any sense why some people can throw 90mph plus and some can’t regardless of how hard they work, body size? And why could Walter Johnson throw all day every day, but Stephen Strasburg got hurt every year? Walter was throwing breaking balls too.

And that doesn't even take into consideration rodeos
If you go out to the farm where the stock is kept, you’ll see that they aren’t abused. Rodeo bulls are calm in the pasture, some will let you pet them, but flip a switch once they get in the chute. No way to prove it, but I dare say that the bull enjoys the rodeo&lifestyle afterwards more than anyone, and definitely experiences the least amount of pain.

Field yields are up, but milling yields are way down, bad as they’ve ever been on average.

He was asking about Alyeska, if you are going to ask about that place I am going to guess you can ski and are wanting something more off the beaten path with a bit more challenge.
That’s where we disagree, cause I assume if you’re at the highest level, then you already know about Alyeska. But I do agree with you that Ikon overall has more challenging resorts. It all depends on which one of us assumed rightly.

Sitting at the airport in Steamboat right now, took 10 minutes to return my car, check my ski bag and walk through security.
It has always worked out for me too, but I’ve had a couple close calls with delays at the smaller airports. Makes me nervous, wondering what I’m gonna do if I can’t get out of there for several days.
And I don’t doubt what you said about the Ikon Resorts you listed, but a group of friends looking to travel and are skilled enough to take advantage of the increase in difficulty vs. what Epic has to offer seems like a rare thing. Feel like you need to live there or close by to be capable of it, but I could be making excuses for myself too
