Go alone wherever you want. Part of that is a self limitation based on comfort. Almost any bar is just fine to go alone regardless of audience. Don’t let places intimidate you or make you feel weird going alone.

Went there last night - acceptable skiing, had the hill to myself, and they were cranking the snowmaking equipment at the end. Perfect for getting a quick hit of midweek skiing. Hope that they haven't taken enough of a hit this year that they can make it to next winter.

Thing I never understood about crypto is everyone says it an alternative to fiat money, but…everyone buys it with $, then watches with the intent to make more $, then sells for $ (or goes bankrupt lol). So if the whole point is making $, why not go to casino or invest in actual stocks of real companies with tangible products? 🤷‍♂️

Totally get you in that and I am not a tiny lady. There are two things to consider if this ever happens to you. If you have a free hand, go for the eyes. People instinctively try to protect their eyes… it is some kind of brain stem level response so even a person who needs mental health aid will likely drop you.

The other is what my childhood PE/Health teacher taught all us little boys and girls… if you can reach the eyes, then go for the other bits (she used to shout GRAB, TWIST, and PULL!!)

Honestly, I always figured that if some dude tried to jump me, knowing that I probably am not a martial arts expert or even a journeymen boxer, I would totally go the the GTP option. A handful of dude bits being grabbed l, twisted, and pulled would also result in quick release I think.

Eye gouging is king though…
