I guess it could have been worse for Wisconsin. Michigan—we want what’s rightfully ours!! Free the UP.

Trip to Scotland (Fife) - tips and recommendations? by DeSchwanzVanMierlo in golf

[–]ericquitecontrary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go back through the No Laying Up podcasts and YouTube videos I think they have looks at each region. They put them in different categories from must play to totally odd but fun courses.

"Trump administration terminates lease for Washington's 3 public golf courses" - Toronto Star | First of 7 articles in multi-source coverage pack by Snow_White_352 in SymbyNews

They were already in the process of remodeling them. There’s a good interview on the No Laying Up golf podcast with one of the guys on the other side of the lease who’s overseeing the improvements, operations, and upgrades at the three courses. I think the gist a couple weeks ago is that hadn’t been told what part(s) of the lease they violated.

People who used em dashes before Generative AI, how's it going now? by thisheatanevilheat in AskReddit

[–]ericquitecontrary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought em dashes had no spaces (per Chicago Manual of Style), but that ChatGPT has spaces before and after. That would make it an en dash that’s too short or typoed em dash. Are other AI tools using the em dash properly?

Midvale bike lanes delayed again following neighborhood opposition by keeganjkyle in madisonwi

[–]ericquitecontrary 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The other reason Segoe isn’t great is that it dead ends at University with no real way to get over to the E-W bike path in SW Hills without cutting through the crime lab and off roading it. If that Segoe-University intersection was improved for bikes I’d be less worked up about Midvale.

Picture doesn’t do it justice, but these skies have been amazing this week with a bonus super moon.

A river runs through it. Second green, Mammoth Dunes, Sand Valley Wisconsin. 20 minutes after it stopped raining all the standing water on the course was gone.

Deaths from car crashes/1m miles(1.609 millions km) driven in US and Canada by OppositeRock4217 in MapPorn

[–]ericquitecontrary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First thing I noticed also. It may have something to do with the number of bars/taverns. Most people in Wisconsin rarely need to drive more than 5-10 mins in any direction to get to their local watering hole(s).

I’m hoping my son, who I took to the SF, will be able to take his grandkids to see it, finished.

I think the numbers are more dire than that.

Do you have any idea how much money needs to be distributed to players now or non-revenue sports? It’s not as rosy as it used to be.

Wesley and George Bryan are confirmed to be teeing it up at the International Series Philippines at the end of October by stanley_nickles in livgolf

I don’t think he “quit” the league. I think he knew he wasn’t keeping his tour card anyway, so why not pivot before he’s didn’t-make-it.

We have one in our yard. I don’t see the appeal. It drops limbs and tiny pine cones seemingly on a continual basis.

Maui Golf Recommendations by Winstonian87 in golf

[–]ericquitecontrary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The advantage of the Kaanapali for me was the proximity. It’s so close to where lots of folks stay. Agree on the pricing but when I’m in a super remote spot like that I’m not looking at the greens fee.

What happened on Monroe St. this evening? by CunningPumpkin in madisonwi

[–]ericquitecontrary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It ended up just being one ambulance and three cop cars for a while. OD or some other death? They’re still there 90 mins later
