"bit" is the key, but I can see value in a recession for both me personally and us societally. I have lamented that the current workforce has never had to work to get a job, unemployment has always been so low that people were desperate for labor. I feel like that made some workers lazier and...
LOL, you've convinced no one other than yourself on this point. Isolationism is a dead end street. As much as people hate to admit it, our life of privilege is solidly built on the backs of foreign workers who can do that same things we can do, but for pennies on the dollar.
We'll never be...
Dude, nothing you share is going to do, or change, a damn thing. MAGA is unbreakable in their loyalty. Change your tactic. Even your sympathizers are getting sick of the constant bombardments.
I can't get the FS to respond to 3 different inquiries regarding public land impacts. I ended up submitting a FOIA request on one of them, and was immediately hit with an auto reply that due to staffing shortages outside of their control they could not comply with the required timelines but...
nothing much.
there's never enough time.
Nothing out of state (unless WY elk hits on the random).
Only hope for big game success is WA summer/fall bear.
Maybe Nov MT WT doe/ bird expedition, but that seems unlikely too.
Man, hot tip, this really can't be over valued. I spend a disproportionate amount of time in a car driving at night to see my fam because we moved 4 hrs north. I don't know you family situation, but there is no greater gift that helping your Dad do something he no longer can, being the "fun"...
@Hem sounds like your issues are similar but slightly different than mine, so take this with a grain of salt. But I had similar shudder issues a various speeds, worse with higher speed. After pursuing tire balancing and alignment, I was eventually told my rims were bent. Apparently it's "fairly...
You know what annoys me? People who serve left-over Guinness after St. Patty's Day. If it was too shitty to drink on the one day a year people will tolerate it, don't hand me one on a random Thursday after work and pretend you're doing me a favor. Hand it out to the bum on the street corner...
Most of the barriers described or alluded to in that article are self-contrived, and maybe that's what hilljack had an issue with. There's basically no more intrinsically inclusive "sport" than ultra running, or any distance running in general. You don't have to go fast, you don't need a course...
I'm probably in the minority, but I like the political posts/threads, up to a point. This has always been a good place to hear intelligent, articular arguments for most political perspectives. I know I believe Citizens United was the worst decision of my generation, but VG didn't and was very...
the issue I see with that suggestion is that we would want to apply values to all the sections in question (public and private), that's what the fight would be over. Then, of course, you have to find a willing private party.
Again... hold my beer.
The Mariners started in 1977, they have had 7 total "good" years in that 48 year period. '95-2002
We have active members of HT that weren't born the last time the Mariners were good.
Of course you like it, you're a Braves fan. Notice where your team is on the spending chart? 8 of 30, you have an elevated chance of playing better than the majority of the teams out there. Almost every other major sport has some form of salary cap to promote competitive play.
I'm not sure. I think there is a factually based and compelling case for both. I sure know a lot of people that don't value public lands over development. I tend to see them as the same people they buy on credit, they are pre-dispositioned to be short-sighted in their ability to assess life. But...
We routinely turn down work at a local federal facility for this very reason, the risk is too high for our legal dept. to operate in $2,500 dollar amounts. Yet we are the best suited to help them meet their water quality and conservation goals. Unfortunately, they keep getting fined for...
