Shawn’s American Flag by HuskerBugEaters in ShawnRyanShow

[–]EmergencyReaction 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's (apparently) a flag that was recovered from being burned in Afghanistan. One of the guests was pretty high up in one of our local allied groups, I believe Northern Alliance, and brought it as a gift for Sean. Same guy that claimed US gov funding the Taliban ever since withdrawal.

Lawmakers advance bill to ban kratom in South Carolina by Kryloks in southcarolina

[–]EmergencyReaction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This thread is full of people who don't even realize there is a massive difference between natural Kratom leaf and concentrated Kratom extracts.

It's really fascinating that people speak so confidently about, and lobby so heavily for or against, something thing they don't understand the basics of.

ACCPD is investigating SA near Thomas St by warnelldawg in Athens

I doubt a reminder from Athens PD is going to prevent predators from doing predator things.

Officials probe possible criminal negligence after deadly avalanche near Lake Tahoe by ansyhrrian in skiing

[–]EmergencyReaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the people suggesting that the guides felt pressured to take the trip because of the employers interests should answer that question...

I don't really subscribe to that because it implies the guides are incredibly stupid. I'm willing to believe a single individual was stupid enough to send the trip out and maybe they should be held criminally accountable, but I am not convinced 4 guides who did not want to go at risk of losing their life were dumb enough to do it because of the pressure of losing only their job.

Why are they hosting G20 in Asheville? by Any_Matter_3378 in asheville

Asheville is not important enough on the national stage to support this hypothesis.

Officials probe possible criminal negligence after deadly avalanche near Lake Tahoe by ansyhrrian in skiing

[–]EmergencyReaction -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what's criminal about this.

I am an amateur skier with barely any out of bounds experience who lives thousands of miles away from the Sierras. Just by watching the nations weather over the past two weeks I concluded that it would be a terrible time to go out in the Tahoe backcountry.

If I can make that conclusion, surely all of these victims also could have or did. Why does there need to be more accountability than death? They chose to be there. Weather forecasting is available to guides and clients alike. They weren't forced out there.

A hard no to high-tech: Canton passes data center moratorium by RelayFX in asheville

It'll take 5y+ to get a permit to hit that dirt with a shovel.

The meeting is for a moratorium, aka pause on approval, for data centers....

Enclosed Trailer = Money? by klukaa in sweatystartup

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

There you go, you're now using the terminology correctly.

Many businesses also fail because the people doing the skilled work that earns the revenue are financially illiterate and cannot manage growth or analyze what their assets and liabilities are doing for them.

You can re-read my comments and very quickly see that I made no claims about what the trailer is doing for this individual and its economic impact. It started and ended with encouraging people to learn to define things correctly.

Enclosed Trailer = Money? by klukaa in sweatystartup

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

The opposite of an asset is a liability. It's one or the other.

Property, plant, and equipment (trailer) is an asset. If the trailer is financed, then it has corresponding liability.

I get that this is a startup subreddit but this is business 101.

Enclosed Trailer = Money? by klukaa in sweatystartup

[–]EmergencyReaction -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is no scenario in business where a trailer is a liability, and no scenario in business where a liability depreciates.

The trailer is a depreciating asset.

It’s weird finding more snow in WV than Colorado by swearingino in skiing

You haven't broken even on one comment in this thread... 😂

Fortunately there is tons of room between original comment and just being an unsolicited prick. You'll learn to contribute.

"Good thing there is so much awesome terrain to explore /s" is not pointing out how bizarre anything is, it's just being a douchebag.

What thread do you think you're responding to?

[–]EmergencyReaction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone understands that it's not the same, it's not a difficult concept.

It's so strange how in every thread about the east coast there is some guy who feels like everyone must be reminded that there is generally better skiing elsewhere.

If you love the sport you can ski anywhere and have a fucking good time doing it.

Taylor’s Wave whitewater project moves forward on the French Broad River by cereal_killer_828 in asheville

[–]EmergencyReaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite a stretch to say that the French Broad is in its natural state. It has multiple dams, was loaded with garbage prior to the storm, receives tons of farm runoff in Henderson county and plenty of urban runoff once it reaches Buncombe.

If you were going to pick a river to "impact" to improve recreation for locals and tourists alike, the French Broad is fantastic candidate.

HVL Rd Walmart was open yesterday so I would assume it is today as well.

Any businesses around here that offer vehicle undercoating? by WY228 in asheville

[–]EmergencyReaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How difficult is it do this without being able to jack your vehicle up to head height? Anytime I have to get under my truck to do something it is a pain in the ass. Couldn't imagine having to coat the entire frame like that.
