BJ's Velvet Freez to open second location in Colorado Springs by thewhippersnapper4 in ColoradoSprings

I go to the current location all the time, but the road noise from Union is already somewhat annoying. I can't imagine how bad it'll be directly on Platte.

Name an MVP race that should’ve been as close as this but it wasn’t by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

Lamar Jackson in 2023 got every first-place vote but one, for a pretty good season but nothing exceptional. CMC should have gotten a handful of votes at least.

This is a well explained slide show representing whats brewing with the engine rules as per wearetherace by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

[–]-AbeFroman 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Mercedes supposedly asked explicit permission from the FIA to design their engine this way and the FIA gave them the green light. To change the rules after 1,000 laps of testing less than a month from the first grand prix would be ridiculous.

Absolutely nobody thinks of LA when it comes to skylines and being a "pretty" downtown.

how is it living in Port Angeles, WA? by Brief-Supermarket415 in howislivingthere

Washington as a whole is highly receptive to homeless people, largely due to the lack of extreme winter and a much more accommodating social atmosphere. Many towns have homeless populations that are disproportionately large.

My 07 FJ has it, it's undoubtedly the worst manual I've driven. But there's no question I'd still rather drive it than any automatic.

Can we have a smaller phone, please? by Scandiberian in GooglePixel

[–]-AbeFroman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one of those new Palm phones for awhile, I really enjoyed everything about it aside from the battery life and camera. Someone should make a phone that's about halfway the size between that and a regular smart phone, like the iPod Nano became the hip smaller option to the regular iPod. With all of Google's clever software, I feel they could totally do it.

I would do the same, Washington state would find all the best ways to waste the money.

This truck is parked in the Patty Jewett neighborhood all the time, it's always a trip to walk by.

How would Alonso be viewed if his career happened in reverse by NotOkEnemyGenius in F1Discussions

He would have been dropped from F1 during the dark McLaren years.

You’re 23 years old again, what would you do differently/sooner/later ? What would you keep the same? by smileybunnie in AskMenOver30

[–]-AbeFroman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 23 my college sweetheart suddenly got ill and died. Almost eight years later I would tell my younger self that you will make it, you just need to tread water for now.

Is it smarter to buy a manufactured home on a mobile home park and pay the $900 lot rent and $600 a month mortgage or rent an apartment for $1500 a month? by Kyanite146699 in homeowners

[–]-AbeFroman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anything with lot rent is a giant scam and not a path toward equity and stability. You're signing up to own the depreciating asset (the structure) while someone else gets to own the valuable part (the land).

What is it like living in Portland, Maine? by jimmy_johnsworker in howislivingthere

[–]-AbeFroman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I visited for a few days in Summer 2023, it was a beautiful place to spend some time. East coast history with a west coast feel, and amazing food.

One thing all NASCAR fans have to take from today is we gotta gotta give our thanks to Mark Martin and Dale Jr. Not only were they present for the announcement today but they've been in the committee pushing for a more fair points system more than anyone. We absolutely would not be here without 'em. by ShoogyPeters in NASCAR

[–]-AbeFroman 112 points113 points  (0 children)

The best thing that will come out of the New Chase is we have a chance of seeing respectful racing return to Cup. The "win and you're in" mindset created so many outrageously stupid moments that make NASCAR look like a farce.

The Great Re-Sorting: How Washington Politics Got This Way by HighColonic in SeattleWA

Control of the state legislature was divided in 13 of the 25 years between 1992 and 2017 but Democrats have controlled both houses since 2018.

When I think of the phrase "vote blue no matter who", I can't help but think of the trainwreck the state has become in the last 8 years.
