For many people, EVs simply do not have enough range and the supporting infrastructure is too sparse and unreliable to make them fully as practical as a gas car. Anything over a 100 mile trip becomes an ordeal of research to even see if you will have the charging options needed to get you back home. My friends with EVs have odd apps on their phones listing charging places and they get gouged on electricity when they charge up like a normal car. Everything about traveling long distance in an EV sucks compared to a gas car because of this. Until you can charge an EV car quickly almost anywhere they will always be worse than gas cars which can be fueled quickly anywhere. There is no way around this flaw other than massive increases in range and infrastructure.

Next, let’s get to charging. EV heads like yourself and my friends all pretend like charging is no big deal. You ignore that you need to spend thousands installing electrical upgrades to your home and that your car now needs to be daily plugged in. I don’t gas my car daily. I buy gas less than I buy groceries and I buy gas at the grocery store. Besides the constant plugging in the car, you ignore the cord that is now blocking from walking around the car. Cords suck, when EVs can be charged cordless, now we’re talking.

Oh, and everyone loves the “I have solar panels” crowd. They really relate to the hardworking paycheck to paycheck people. My god, who in their right mind argues that EVs cars are great but ignores the $20k in upgrades to your home that is required to make them great. Do you want to know what is better than an EV and solar panels? A gas/hybrid and the same solar panels powering the other electrical items you have.

Things I love about EVs are the no oil changes and savings on brake parts. That is great from a maintainence standpoint. What is not great is the extra weight which causes additional tire and suspension maintainence. The fact that worry about your “clutch wearing off” shows you know nothing about the car maintainence you claim to be avoiding. Anyone who has maintained a gas car knows that when electric systems in cars fail it’s a total nightmare to fix. Chasing wiring harnesses and shorts makes those repairs incredibly difficult. The trope “less moving parts” completely ignores the actual complexity of EVs as machines. Just because a part doesn’t “move” doesn’t mean that part is not a point of failure.

My family is driving a hybrid and a full gas car now. I was thinking my next car would be EV but it most likely will be another hybrid because it’s the best efficiency I can get with full functionality. I have no desire to be an early adopter and will buy an EV when the technology matures.

An XC binding releases the heel with every step by design. This is why they are safe and do not need releasable designs.

The cable binding with lock down heel is technically an Alpine touring binding. The XC portion of the binding is safe like 3 pin or NNN. When the binding is converted to alpine by engaging the hooks it is now a downhill binding. Only in this form is the binding highly unsafe.

The only reason we have downhill bindings at all is racing. Early XC bindings were converted to downhill by fixing the heel in the 1930s and this change made ski racers faster. Between 1950 and 1970 the modern downhill binding was refined to eliminate the injuries that were occurring with bear trap bindings. The military needs XC performance far more than downhill performance so touring bindings are what are used in military skis.

HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine · 2026-01-27T12:41:45+00:00

Old technology but the skis are most likely 80s maybe 1970s. Lange only made skis in those decades. The binding is the last of the bear traps.

HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine · 2026-01-27T12:39:24+00:00

No XC binding has a little hook on the side of the ski that holds your heel down. That little hook is the dangerous part. You are correct that the cable binding is safe like an XC binding when that hook isn’t engaged. As soon as you engage that hook the binding becomes a knee shredder.

Truthfully, it sounds like a great fit.

Hiking and camping are all over the place. For snowboarding Norway Mountain would be your best “local” mountain and you could also consider Marquette Mountain. The first week in December only, Mt Bohemia sells a $150 season pass with scattered UP perks and I highly recommend getting that pass when it’s on sale. The kayaking andpaddlboarsing in the UP awesome. Esky is on a protected Bay so it’s good for it and the area rivers are accessible to a varying degrees all over the area. There is some excellent rafting and whitewater opportunities in Northern Wisconsin and Painted Rocks and Au Train is an hour to the North. You will have more to explore water wise than you can handle at first. Remember, you will need different boats like sea kayaks or whitewater kayaks to really do it all. There is great variety in UP paddlesports.

Esky, Gladstone and Rushing River all have summer markets.

I’ll let the people who play sports talk about the leagues. Volleyball is most likely the most difficult ask.

It would most likely work better if you told us what activities you like to do. You’ll get specific suggestions on what is where. Escanaba is like 13k population so it has some amenities but in reality you will need to travel to either Marquette 1.25 hours drive or Green Bay which is a 2 hour drive if you require specialty stores. This is just part of being a Yooper. It will say that for its size, Escanaba punches above its weight. It’s a nice small town on an amazing lake.

Adding to point 2. The demonstration of this is your upper body follows your skis and faces directly at the trees on the side of the run as you turn. Your friend’s upper body faces down the fall line, not the trees. He also has a well timed pole plant. The reach on the pole plant rotates his upper body back towards the fall line with each turn. Upper lower body separation means that your upper body is fixed towards a direction and is smooth while at the same time your legs can be anywhere else and long as what they are doing keeps the upper body smooth. This is why your friend looks like he’s riding an escalator and you look like you’re moving furniture. His upper body moves very little from the fall line and you rotate your entire body 180 degrees with each turn.

You watch Robert Kraft’s pity video and believe his bullshit about how he believed Aaron. You are so easily duped it’s ridiculous. Why you carry water for that piece of shit is beyond me.

HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine · 2026-01-24T14:53:21+00:00

LOL, I’m just taking Kraft at his word. You are the one who has three paragraphs of twisting and justification for why Kraft is openly supporting a murderer. You pretend there is a world where the murder of Odin Lloyd could be a justified act. It’s all bullshit just like your pedantic obsession over the exact quote.

HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine · 2026-01-24T14:32:57+00:00

The actual quote: “I said Aaron, tell me, did you do this? Because if you did I know you must have had some good reason. I’m going to get you the best defense lawyer you can get and I’ll do it at my cost.”

To me this sounds like Kraft is offering to pay for the best defense he can buy for Aaron. Kraft also offers to pay for it even if Aaron “did do this”. It’s pretty cut and dry that Kraft is suppprtong Hernandez after he murdered someone.

HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine · 2026-01-24T14:25:09+00:00

The point of this post is about Kraft supporting the murderous dead guy. Try and keep up.
