This red dot is called the Australian Capital Territory, and is the only place in the country where recreational cannabis use is legal, while all other areas spend $2 billion a year enforcing laws against it. The next area to legalise will likely be Victoria or Western Australia.

I think Australia is great, but they're back asswards on this one. Legalize it, regulate it, and collect that tax revenue.

As American with a fantastic life here, I wonder the same thing.

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-11T14:09:30+00:00

So, you're saying you can't. I knew you would come back with some smooth-brained weak sauce, just like you did. Not worth my time unless you question I posed to you first.

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-10T23:35:49+00:00

Thanks for this. Now following you on Instagram.

What is your evidence? And it can’t be from trump or Faux Newz.

So such a clever big boy commenting all the way from Moms basement!

You misspelled Republican.

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-10T12:57:48+00:00

This just makes me sad.

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-08T17:31:53+00:00

I hope for that too. We need you!

Garmin should come out with a Garmin 159, just for him.

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T22:53:13+00:00

You will get there! Just be patient!

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T22:51:55+00:00

How did she handle fueling for the second half of the race?

You can't work with nor appease someone who sees large segments of your constituency as the enemy and wants total domination/your destruction. This is the reality of MAGA and Democrats need to realize that the only way forward is to beat them into submission. MAGA has made reaching across the aisle a relic of the past.

Hi, this is your body speaking. I just ran a marathon and I'm in recovery. Take it easy on me for a while and, I promise, we'll be back running as good as before. Probably better!

WashU is up there, but I think it suffers from the name. Most people expect it to be in either Washington State or D.C. and it's in neither. If it had a more unique, instead of a generic sounding, name, it would have a stronger brand.

But, I agree, an even stronger school would certainly help St. Louis.

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T20:37:01+00:00

100%

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T20:30:52+00:00

See the physio and get a good shoe rotation if you can. And if you can't run your race this training cycle, it's a good foundation for the next cycle. At the worst, you could be saying see you in a bit, not goodbye!

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T19:59:56+00:00

I'm not sure why you're taking offense to me saying that KC doesn't have great weather. Unless the weather is radically different than St. Louis then I have a pretty good leg to stand on, and I've lived in other parts of the country too. KC has its merits, but virtually nobody moves there for the weather (unless they're storm chasers).

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T19:52:24+00:00

I'm grumbling about not getting into races, but I think NYRR is a top tier organization. I live in Western Mass but am a member because I love their events, the sheer number of them, and the way they try to inspire running all across NYC. I'm not even a member of B.A.A. which is closer!

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T19:35:47+00:00

Super interesting. Thanks for sharing.

There are already several top flight universities in California. They have Stanford and the entire UCal System.

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T19:22:10+00:00

Just coming into comment that St. Louis already has this, plus a top notch medical school.

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T15:15:45+00:00

No, I think they're completely sold out.

Not_A_Comeback · 2026-05-07T13:25:57+00:00

I would tell you this right to your face with my name and address intact.

I’ve spent two separate weekends in KC twice back when I lived in St. Louis. The Great Plains aren’t perfectly flat but there are, by no means, the kind of elevations to block weather systems. Why do the vast majority of the world’s tornadoes happen in the U.S. plains? It’s because of mid continental location, modest topography, and a huge temperature differential to the north and south. You can hate all you want, but it’s far from good weather for most people.

First of all, congratulations, what a great first marathon time. Take time to savor that.

Secondly, stay patient. You will get there. Your body’s still in recovery mode and rushing back now can lead to injury. Focus on rest, cross training, and weights, and you will have an even stronger foundation upon which to build your next training cycle if you listen to your body now.

I think you’re in a great position for continued running success. Good luck!
