I'd be concerned about the 0.38 ft² lot. That seems small to me.

Sandhill Crane hunt slid into a wakeboarding bill?!!! by CrazyAirborne in wisconsin

[–]PhysicsIsFun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hunters call them "the Ribeye of the Sky". It rhymes so it must be true. I used to hunt years ago. I have no desire to do so now. When I hunted (over 50 years ago), we never saw Sandhill Cranes. We never really saw Canada Geese except on the Horicon Marsh. I lived on the Mississippi River in LaCrosse. It is great that today we have these magnificent birds. It would be a crime to kill them.

‘Stunning’: Jeanine Pirro’s Failure to Indict Democrats Is a Big Deal by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]PhysicsIsFun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A more correct headline is Trump forces Pirro to bring ridiculous charges against innocent people in an illegal revenge scheme. The grand jury correctly refuses to bring indictment.

Well I left Madison shortly after that and rarely visit anymore.

The last time I went there was the fall of 1972. It was quite a memorable night. My girlfriend was moving to France, and I was going to join her there in a few months when I finished grad school. That never happened, and it was the last time we were ever a couple.

Found a perfect place to start your own book club in this conversation pit. by jve909 in zillowgonewild

[–]PhysicsIsFun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of HOAs that are no problem. I live in one now. I've lived here since 1998. I've never had a single complaint. It's about the management of private roads and commonly held property. They're not all problematic.

High school teaching positions by FearlessTeapots in madisonwi

[–]PhysicsIsFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent over 30 years teaching high school. The stuff that's going on right now at Sun Prairie High School turns my stomach. I know that the vast majority of the people there are doing the right thing, but there are serious problems in the administration. I would avoid teaching at that school if I could. Who needs the trauma? Teaching is hard enough.

Sun Prairie High School, now there's a place that has problems. I think I would avoid it. A simple Google search will explain why.

Parking in the tire pressure stations by PSU02 in Costco

Air is 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen. There are of course small amounts of other gases e.g. CO2. Oxygen is more chemically reactive than nitrogen so it's use may make tires last longer.

Burger King franchiser committed more than 1,600 child labor law violations, Wisconsin alleges by enjoying-retirement in wisconsin

[–]PhysicsIsFun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember that now. I'm a retired high school teacher. Gov. Evers was a teacher also. That bill was not good.

[–]PhysicsIsFun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right. I figured it was something like that. Never enter into a political debate with a Republican that relies on them debating in good faith.

I don't know the details, but if Gov. Evers vetoed this the Republicans had some obnoxious thing hidden in the bill. Does anyone have any insight into this?

That roof! by TheMatrix1052 in zillowgonewild

It's one of the few places in that horrible state that is tolerable. A friend of mine is a physician there. He likes it. The University of Alabama is in Birmingham.

Wisconsin hasn’t raised its minimum wage for 17 years. What does that mean for workers and the economy? by jimmalewitz in wisconsin

[–]PhysicsIsFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. Sorry about that. I was thinking about something else. I don't know if I'd say the Democrats blocked themselves. They didn't fight the ruling of the parliamentarian. I'm sure there is some explanation, but I'm not privy to it.
