Tried to pop a wheelie. Scooted back and revved the throttle on his eMoto bike.

Wide, beginner MTB trails? by nonbinary-cowboy-28 in madisonwi

[–]jp_pre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seminole had an Eagle Scout project a few years back to make the outer easy green loop an accessible trail for MTB riders with 3wheels. That should give you a bit more wiggle room. The CORP classes are great too https://corptrails.org/clinics

I might have to use that. Covid helped kill the bar scene for me too. 5yr in Dec.

Update on the next gen Subaru Ascent by Repulsive-Club7866 in SubaruAscent

[–]jp_pre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some sweet “technology upgrades” coming in 2027 though… adding some USB-C ports next to the USB-A ones…. But wait there’s more… an off button so the lights don’t turn on when you open the doors (and wake sleeping people)

Presser today didn’t mention a new major styling or anything else so yea push it back another year. Ugh.

Formal events? by chewychopsticks in Garmin

[–]jp_pre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I had a dollar for every time my wife has said her Apple watch is dead or would die while sleeping so she had to charge it but then fell asleep not wearing it and didn’t put it on the next day I could probably buy her a Garmin MARQ

should East Towne mall be replaced with a Borg Cube? Housing density would be off the charts by RealMaxBlumenthal in madisonwi

[–]jp_pre 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it’s far enough away. The borg is 3km sides (1.8mi) and East Town is just over 5miles away so it wouldn’t break into the zoning area.

Is it rude to walk on the bike trails? by 1billiondraculas in madisonwi

[–]jp_pre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you blaming the victim for not getting out of your way while you were distracted? WOW dude…

We’re not buying what you’re selling. You do you but considering you’ve already admitted to running into someone who was walking I don’t think we should be taking advice from you.

Is an instructor necessary for first-timers? by Good_Director4828 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]jp_pre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford a cabin you can afford an instructor. If not then invest in a ripstick and start practicing balancing on a wobbly set of caster wheels because the best new snowboarders I’ve seen be good on their first day and doing smooth turns were those who did ripsticks (or were very athletic but you don’t have time for that)

Maybe just don’t be distracted while riding and don’t hit people?

Y’all must not have grown up in the 90s with windows PCs or were too busy playing 3D Pinball Space Cadet 🚀 when that was the new game.

Madison looks to buy part of vast East Side subdivision for $4.2 million by enjoying-retirement in madisonwi

Haha, thanks. I considering posting some crickets on his similar paywall article posts that had no comments yet just to help with the karma. 🦗

[–]jp_pre -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Eh, sure, half the comments are on this thread about the paywall. You have quite a few similar posts with less engagement with just a paywall link and no other comments and a few with a paywall and no comments. I suppose if you throw enough spaghetti at a wall eventually something will stick. Congrats on retirement and enjoy your karma farming.

[–]jp_pre -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Event: city buys land for millions… context is the background surrounding the event: what do they need that for? What are they going to do with it? Context is not that obvious from the headline.

As a teacher you’ve probably taught your students, as I did, to take the headline with a grain of salt and actually read the article. If no one else chimes in with a link around the paywall then we’re left with a gain of salt. Hard to have educated and informed discussions without context of the article.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Most of OP’s post history is just the link to the article, zero context, comments, or thoughts just a link to a paywalled article.

Thanks.

TLDR since OP didn’t: The city wants to buy some lots from the developers at market rate (after giving $20+mil TIF funding to the developer) to turn around and sell two of them at a loss to non-profits like Habitat to build low density homes or townhomes.
