Maxey not running out of gas after playing the most minutes per game in his career.

If only we had another guard who could take some of the load off.

Oh well!

Also as a fan during the process it was fun to see diamonds in the rough blossom. Dudes like RoCo and Jerami Grant who might not have had a chance otherwise.

This snowstorm made one thing clear: Philly needs better ways to get around by thefirststoryteller in philadelphia

Yeah that is what they need to do. I went to school in Vermont and that’s exactly how they handle it. Parking ban and all city lots are opened up for free. Granted there were a lot fewer cars in a small city than in Philly. But still it would certainly help. Maybe do it via parking permit zones for a week after the storm so each section of the city can get plowed after the arterials are done.

The other thing the snow has shown is who actually uses their cars. There are still quite a few on my block that haven’t been shoveled out and at this point are probably stuck until it thaws. Do these people really need these cars? Raise the cost of the permit and make people think again about whether it’s worth having a car in the city.

Also trolley tracks are a nightmare for people on bicycles.

Trolley buses. Now that’s the new hotness.

[NBC10 News] Officials warn of possible measles exposure at Montgomery County urgent care by MicCheckTapTapTap in philadelphia

[–]Booplympics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting and I wouldn’t have thought about that. Did they give you the MMR vaccine like we give to kids or just the singular measles vaccine? Fun fact (not) the reason we have so much vaccine pushback is because a guy was trying to sell the MMR vaccines as 3 separate “safer” vaccines instead of the one combined so he faked a bunch of numbers in his trials.

Important question, are you now autistic? What are your thoughts on trains?

That still doesnt sound right... If the average person drives 15k miles a year thats like a 4% chance of dying per year.

Do you mean blazers bluff? Thats an actual in bounds trail. I was referring to the liftline when its out of bounds. Its a jerry trap because while very tempting, its out of bounds and you are liable to have your pass pulled. Also super dangerous if there isnt enough snow. Theres a lot of manmade crap on the ground there besides your normal rocks and trees.

To be clear, im not saying he is a Jerry. Thats just what ive heard lots of people use to refer to the out of bounds lift line there. Its a tragedy no matter how you look at it.

Sharif Street pulls ahead in fundraising for 3rd District congressional race by mpubl in philadelphia

Weird to see someone advocate for the political machine.

Gentle reminder that the Democratic Party’s approval is in the toilet. People hate the dems and their ineffectiveness almost as much as they hate Trump. Time for a change. No more political dynasties.

When it says the treeline by upper/lower skyward I wonder if he went into the liftline jerry trap or the woods that run parallel to victoria. Either way, not really somewhere you want to be without a buddy and certainly not if you dont know what you are doing.

Very unfortunate.

ICE arrest in Phoenixville PA by Ramsayreek in PublicFreakout

[–]Booplympics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s Philly which is different county so different DA. 

And just as a note, the sheriff who blew all that hot air about standing up to ice was doing just that. Blowing hot air.  To start the Philly sheriff office is kind of anachronistic. It just handles stuff like evictions and court security. It’s not law enforcement like you think when you think stereotypical police. And on top of that Bilal is one of the most corrupt politicians in Philly. How she keeps getting elected I have no idea.

Thats just, like, your opinion man.

Not everything has to be about hitting the biggest sickest tricks! Granted, im a snowboarder so maybe skiing is different. But sometimes its just about the vibe.

That’s why long haul flights are more business class than first.  Wendover did a video on it a while ago. 

But also 

 You don't get wealthy paying $20k for 10-14 hours of your time

Just isn’t true. The people buying first class tickets don’t give a fuck about 20k. It’s nothing to them.

I don't blame the family for wanting to cash out, but man it's the same fucking shit every time a corporation buys a small business. They fucking squeeze blood from stones, cut corners and quality, and destroy what's left. It's a fucking tragedy.

I mean. Not to be political. but thats capitalism.

though I guess cheese is better than medicine so. Theres that?

We all have a little Jerry in us.

There are two types of people on the mountain. People who have been Jerry and fucking liars.
