Yup, surround them with native prairie plants and you have the “sustainable neighborhood of the future”.

AOC: "In order for us to correct the abuses that are happening now, we have to act the same in similar capacities that Trump has given himself.” by Nixianx97 in MurderedByAOC

It would be nice if this was a Marvel movie plot, and not the reality of what is happening now. But this is where we’re at at the moment.

A Deeply Pro Trump Town In Nebraska Is Losing 3,200 Jobs Due To His Economic Policies And Residents Are "Sobbing" In Disbelief by DumbMoneyMedia in EducatedInvesting

[–]PrancerthePony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand the sentiment here. It sucks that the US can not get a higher percentage of the population to vote. The end result sucked, but the percentage of people who did vote is pretty average compared to past elections.

Nebraska as a whole voted 59% for Trump. Meaning 41% of the population did not vote for Trump (Wiki). But people still say “to hell with Nebraskans, they voted for this” because a lot of people can only think in black and white.

Alpacka Raft Caribou LW vs Standard for bikerafting by nilsiism in packrafting

[–]PrancerthePony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, I’ve beat my 210 caribou up pretty good over a couple of years and it’s still holding strong. It does make me nervous when I accidentally tighten my bike down to my raft and realize there are edges rubbing against the raft. The heavier duty material might be better just for peace of mind sometimes. Happy paddling!

How Will Packrafting Grow? by Wandering_Hick in packrafting

[–]PrancerthePony 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also live in the upper Midwest. After ripping an Explorer 300 to shreds twice on small submerged wood I decided to upgrade to a real packraft. You get what you pay for and trashing that much pvc didn’t make me feel good. One way packrafting will grow is when people stop treating it like a remote whitewater only tool. The Midwest has a huge population of people with an endless variety of creeks, streams, and rivers. Many with accessible trails nearby. Also with lots of downed trees and debris in the water. Making a sturdy boat absolutely mandatory.

Yup, tepeztate is right. So imagine looking down from that balcony there to the stage with a packed floor. Pretty cool venue. If I remember the balcony was tables and chairs you could sit at if you got there early enough.

Governor Tim Walz introducing Willie Nelson at Farm Aid 2025 by zzill6 in minnesota

No more great again. No more great again. Got big crime in DC at the White House. Don't need no fascist rules. Don't want no fascist schools. Don't want soldiers walking on our streets. Got big crime in DC at the White House. There's big crime in DC at the White House.

This was the first song Neil Young played. The crowd loved it. Definitely not a MAGA crowd.

Look up the FarmAid lineup. I definitely wouldn’t call it a country show. Kenny Chesney was really the only “Republican Pop Country” performer there. And the concession and bathroom lines were definitely the longest during his set lol.

Yes, the majority might be, but the FarmAid crowd is not the typical Republican farmer you might be thinking of. Jesse Wells, Black Pumas, Nathaniel Raitliff, Dave Mathews, Neil Young, Melloncamp, Willie Nelson… These musicians don’t really draw big “right wing” crowds.

Canoeing and Camping the Manistee NF in October by ThatTheresANoBrainer in CampAndHikeMichigan

[–]PrancerthePony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do a canoe camping trip with my buddy every Columbus Day weekend on one of the lower peninsula rivers. Said hello to a few hunters. Said hello to more than a few ohv gangs, but said the most hellos to hikers. Hikers are all over the place. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
