Old Ultimate players never die. They just turnover. Retired software engineer. I want to live in a world where science matters, not misinformation. South Jersey was my start, PA is my home and the Adirondack Mtns are my happy place. Ski, bike, hike often.
I don't take my disc skills seriously these days. I take driving seriously since failure to drive safely gets people hurt and killed.

Yeah, a black prosecutor and US Senator was impossible to vote for. A turnip would have been better. No disrespect to root veggies.

Because these were low volume models, they both had more flaws than the 3s & Ys. Only the CEO's ego keeps the Cyber truck alive.

If just some Republican leaders were not scared of political violence, this would be over. That is what is so disturbing. Mobster rule in the US. Never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.

My spouse just found info that they are in FL and TX. The issue is down there, locals support what is going on. No protest, no pushback. That's my guess.

PA, NJ & other states just successfully sued the federal government to release funds they had been withholding approved by Congress to further expand L3 charging. Voting matters. It's coming despite the fossil fuel industry efforts.

If the GOP is not defeated, those studies will never be funded or there will be fake studies conducted to discredit the findings. There will be congressional hearings to incarcerate the researchers. The stupid and cowardly will never admit their own flaws. They are like their 🍊 🤡 leader.

They would need to admit they were wrong. They are incapable of that.

Yeah. I cycle roads too in our area. I generally don't have an issue with cars, but when I do it is owners of certain German models that are consistently jerks. I do get satisfaction from dusting them off and then slowing down to at or near the speed limit in the right lane and move w traffic.

I have an EV. I rarely use that power, but when idiots in gas cars are passing people on the right illegally and trying intentionally or not preventing me from merging onto the highway, I appreciate the get up and go. Just another accident prevention tool when properly used. Speeding stinks.

Yeah, 7 guys were panicking over one disarmed. Unreal, but here's where we are. Disgusting, embarrassing, frustrating and disillusioning are the feelings of being an American these days. This must stop.

Go solar with battery backup if you can afford it or finance it. Then the US crumbling infrastructure will impact your life just a little less. Of course a bad hailstorm can take you out too, but that's what insurance is for.

So the violence is justified? Not a chance. My neighbor is a retired State Police officer. During a previous shooting last year he said there is no need to shoot at or get involved in a car chase. They had the license plate number! Go to the house and arrest them.

They must prosecute at the state level when possible otherwise the next slime ball from the GOP will pardon the guilty.

If I didn't live over a 16 hour drive away I'd go there and stand with them. I ski so I have the clothing for it. We need protests here in the East. I will attend peacefully no matter the temperature. We need to be vocal or nothing changes.

Yeah, disabled kids and their families don't need government aid which the Dept of Ed provides. Those so-called Christians really don't follow the dude born in Bethlehem. They believe in Darwin and survival of the fittest even though they claim evolution is a hoax and Earth is 6 thousand years old.

Here's a problem. Met a retired local police officer at a party recently.and he asked me if I was one of them. He supported ICE. I told him 70+% of those detained are not criminals. Response: what are your news sources? Sympathy for ICE, none for Capitol Police.

In the Philly burbs schools teach respect for others. It's the parents that mess them up. From our parenting experience, a lot of what is going on is also undiagnosed mental illness. My cousin in MD rails against a gov that gives him Medicaid. He doesn't see the hypocrisy. Mental healthcare now!
