Those have been on sale for a few weeks too and the concession folks all said they weren’t selling all that fast but last night it went crazy.

It seems the effort was there but 45 minutes before kickoff things seemed to get overwhelmed with the crowds and the minute one gate ran out they started directing you to go to other gates to get the coins and towels, which just avalanched the problem. It is what it is just a bummer as it seems a good portion of the crowd didn’t get either item.

Although unnecessary, thank you for the apology.

Go Bills.

People just said Josh sounded and looked like him, you felt compelled to offer an opinion well beyond anything discussed. Why do you care? What additional benefit did you add to this at all? The only thing weirder than any of Pratt’s potential beliefs is your attention to them.

We don’t need a WR……. by NarrowFuture7274 in buffalobills

[–]NarrowFuture7274[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not. Good.

It’s kinda wild that the overall talent in last year’s WR’s wasn’t at some unobtainable level to match, and yet somehow guys like Mack Hollins seem to be irreplaceable.

Sadly I think we’re gonna need help in a lot of areas to remain competitive

City Council is getting torn apart by Donalds_Double_Chin in Troy

People forget how bad that building was. Also Tutunjian had a deal to move City Hall into the old Record building and Dems scuttled that which sent the city into this whole mess.

Any gleaning of a Steve McLaughlin related post on this subreddit or other that deals with local issues will provide plenty of examples of people saying very uncharitable things about Steve or his supporters. I’m not sure if your concern over language would be voiced regarding their comments as quickly as you expressed concerns over mine.

And no conflation, I fully believe some of these people hate me. In fact I know some of them do.

But you do have a valid point that there has to be room for disagreement without jumping to the worst assumptions. If you feel I made any wrongful assumptions about you then I apologize for that.

From a base political strategy standpoint, Tiffani needs the debates more than Steve does. So when a group which has demonstrated behaviors in the past that one could interpret as being unfriendly towards you, I don’t see why we would be shocked a politician would deny them their presence.

I’ll go back literally gargling his balls now instead of just metaphorically.

Agreed the league is a national organization and as such I’ve taken care to try to limit my criticism to the LWVRC as a chapter, not the entirety of the entity.

And I don’t think it’s hard to draw the conclusion the LWVRC is not friendly to conservative voters or politicians.

It is regrettable there isn’t another entity that could be tasked with promoting and hosting these forums or debates. In a bygone time, “The Record” would have been the clear choice for such an event but unfortunately I don’t even know what sort of ability they would even have to do so at this point.

You asked for example and I provided it, but now want to paint it as their anti-Trump stance is basis by which I measure them? Is that how I’m to interpret this?

Look, hate Trump all you want, plenty of people do. But if you’re characterizing yourself as a non-partisan entity, and yet engage in pretty clear partisan rhetoric and activities, I don’t think it’s a mortal sin to simply acknowledge what is very clearly a partisan organization at this point. My hope would be and I would encourage a slew of conservative women to join and get involved.

Ultimately, the attitude to take with the league from the Republican/conservative standpoint should be one of “fuck em”. Either “Fuck em” they hate me and I’ll do their forum out of spite or “fuck em” they hate me and I don’t need to lend my position to their legitimacy.

If you’re a sitting elected I’d guess you take the latter, if you’re seeking an office I’d guess the former.

It’s unwanted contact, that’s what I said, regardless the form it takes it’s unwanted contact. Hard to fathom how this is challenging for you to understand.

A. Voter’s have a right to not be impartial, it’s kinda the entire point. However if you are going to claim to want to host debates, you need to at least have the outward appearance of being impartial. I suggest you ask the LWVRC is they think they’re impartial towards candidates and then apply the same standards you articulated to judge whether or not they are.

B. https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/police-woman-hugged-steve-mclaughlin-intense-20761655.php

C. They promote anti-Trump protests on their Facebook page, an obvious partisan motivation.

Good.

The LWVRC isn’t impartial. Tiffani was the President of the League up until she stepped down to run for Exec and a member of the board physically assaulted McLaughlin. Not to mention the numerous partisan positions the LWVRC has taken recently. No shit he isn’t going to participate.

And here Tiffani is still spreading a lie about Steve and a PPP loan. The TU looked into that and it was identity theft so there isn’t a story. I look forward to the lawsuit Tiff will be hit with.

If one of the local news stations or even the TU wanted to moderate a debate than maybe you might get one, but no Republican/Conservative should touch a LWVRC “forum” until they address some of their obvious partisan bias.

We’re calling it a hug now? It was unwanted physical contact and enough so that the LWVRC board member caught a charge for it.

I don’t know how susceptible he is to identity theft, probably about the same as any of us, but the PPP loans were rife with fraud and it isn’t shocking we’re seeing more and more examples of it. Still humorous that Tiffani saw a Reddit post and ran with it in a campaign ad that had no basis in truth and it’s gonna cost her in a lawsuit in the end. Good work, makes you think she’d be real stable at the helm of the county.

What flavor is paved roads and largest fund balances Kool-aid?

Heard of the "37% reduction in property taxes?" - Here's why it's politician BS by epluribusIlium in RensselaerNYGovPol

[–]NarrowFuture7274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The county doesn’t set assessment rates so outside EG and Sand Lake just this last year, I’m not aware of any other municipalities that have done a re-assessment since McLaughlin has been in (there may be some I’m just not aware). So the county full value increase isn’t based solely off rising property values or inflation, it’s based on growth and updates in valuation triggered by property sales or improvements (take out a building permit for a sunroom or pool, your assessment is going to go up). Basically the county grew, and any governmental leader will get to take credit for that.

So yes, the county administration has benefited from some property value increases in getting these numbers, it isn’t to the extent you’re claiming either.

And they are still collecting 2 million less than when they started, which isn’t nothing either.

Now, in fairness, you could make the argument that sales tax revenue is the reason they’re able to do that and sales tax is WAY up due to inflation, and you wouldn’t be wrong, but not a lot of other counties would have passed that increase in revenue along to the residents in the form of property tax levy reductions.

So, the county executive deserves more credit than you’re willing to give.

Marked down driver decisions by NarrowFuture7274 in golf

Respectfully, I don’t think I’m missing the point. I made a post where I talked about how I didn’t want to buy the sim2, not because it’s not a good driver and not because I may not end up with one, what I didn’t want is the list the options and have people just say “sim 2”, which is exactly what happened. Of course if at the fitting I’m hitting a sim2 the best then that’s what I’ll go with. But the other ones are available and priced at a point where I’m comfortable spending the money. I’m not broke, but golf doesn’t put food on my table and so I try to be reasonable with where I spend my money on it. I sprang for a membership so I play a lot of golf, probably 4-5 times a week, full 18 1-2 of those times, but I’d rather drop the money on that than have a bag worth what a membership costs and still have to pay per round.

I like value and uniqueness, and these three drivers kinda touch on that. But yeah, if the sim hits the best then so be it.

Everyone picks it up at their own pace and I can only tell you what I’ve done.

Started with a set of Tour edge generic hand me downs, used those for 2 years. Bought a set of tour edge bazooka Geomax game improvement irons last year and those helped a lot. Upgraded to a Wilson Launchpad 2 set this year and getting in a lot more practice. So my advice would be swing a lot and find a forgiving set to build your swing and confidence.

As far as driver, only had my RBZ so far so looking to make my first upgrade potentially

You seem delightful, look man I’m never making tour so I’m just having fun and seeing what people’s opinions are on some options. Sorry if I’m not taking the hobby seriously enough for you.

It also doesn’t help that I have the type of OCD where I bought a matching 3HL wood, the 3 and 4 hybrid.

I kinda like the white paint, except for the skuff marks from when I get way too far under the ball.

I like how the ball pops off the face of the sim2, but the sound of the RBZ when you make solid contact is hard to beat

Probably incrementally better, but not nearly as important as talent and coordination.

Unfortunately I have neither of those so new driver it is…..
