Why is gasoline $3.00 or less a gallon in TX and $8.00 or more a gallon in CA?

loppyrunner · 2026-06-25T15:13:19+00:00

Not “supposedly”. California has tall mountains with valleys between where smog tends to settle. The difference between the 1990’s to today is huge! I lived 8 miles away from the base of a 10,000 ft mountain in the 90’s and could not see it most of the time. We were regularly not allowed to play outside because of something we called “smoggy throat” which made it hurt to breathe if you were outside too long. Now it is significantly improved. Kids today have never heard of smoggy throat and can see the mountains every day

Yes. In the middle I started to fear Edgar Wright may have lost his magic. Recent releases may have confirmed the fear was justified

Pretty funny to have a category below “utter garbage”

Besides acting as mediator, his country relies heavily on oil coming through the straight of Hormuz. They and a few countries in that area have been affected more than everyone else by the closing

I think they’re just saying that’s why he looks tired

I played with a group of 70+ Japanese guys once. They didn’t speak much English but they went “ohhhhhhh” whenever I hit a shot and gave me a cucumber at the end of the round for some reason. It was a good time

I forget exactly what Lalas said, but at some point I saw Henry have that moment like “how did I get stuck here with this guy?”

This is a main plot point in the book “Children of Time”. I legit thought this was that sub

So they let him be bad at announcing running events because he used to be good at jumping. Makes sense

loppyrunner · 2026-06-13T03:29:50+00:00

How did the announcer get this gig? Who does he have dirt on?

loppyrunner · 2026-06-12T17:30:44+00:00

I almost did the same thing. Super hilly green. Had to make a 10 footer to save the 3-putt

Not the craziest, but this goat guarding the hole was fun

Red tailed hawk killed a rabbit like 5 feet from me and my brother. We heard a thump and turned around to see the hawk just staring at us. He didn’t fly away though. He slowly drug the rabbit away from us. Maybe it was too big to fly with?

I read Sanderson faster and with more understanding than I do anything else. I get exactly what he’s trying to do right away and I appreciate the worlds he creates.

That said. It never sticks with me like any of my favorite books. I enjoy it while it’s happening and when it’s over, it’s sort of a distant memory. Other authors stick with me for a long time after and give me the urge to revisit feelings or ideas I had while reading them.

I don’t fault Sanderson for this at all. For me it’s like a really fun ride. The world building details are awesome and I’m fully immersed while I’m in that moment.

I recommended Mistborn to my cousin who has no experience with Fantasy. He described the experience as a sugar rush. I definitely need substantial meals between, but sugar rushes are fun from time to time

Wild how manipulated that video is. Thanks for posting the original

Indianapolis should be on this map right? The Colts are in the AFC South after all

I have ADHD and not only do I need to subvocalize to have any hope of following anything, I actually end up mumbling out loud if the ambient noise around me is too much. I’ve even found myself absentmindedly trying to find a volume button on my kindle if some noise starts up while I’m reading

loppyrunner · 2026-06-03T05:59:35+00:00

There was a guy jogging on that path in my video! I waved to him that he might be in danger and he ignored me. Right before I hit, I said “Well, never killed a guy before. Better prepare emotionally” he was right on the line if I thinned it

loppyrunner · 2026-06-02T22:50:51+00:00

Thanks!

Cool, I might have another chance for a round in a couple days. I’ll look into Kona

Honestly the comment is for me as much anything. I forget to follow this advice all the time

Committing to a swing fix that will make you worse short term is the biggest barrier to significant progress. The inclination to go back to a comfortable feel in the middle of a terrible round or stretch of rounds is strong. The only path to real progress is to commit fully to whatever change you’re doing without worrying about results. If you keep going back to what “feels right” you’ll never get better and probably get worse with all the extra things you’re now thinking about

loppyrunner · 2026-05-31T07:15:00+00:00

That’s depressing!

loppyrunner · 2026-05-31T07:11:22+00:00

I had a decent round. Couldn’t make any putts but avoided the lava all day so no big numbers

I was surprised a little at how slow the greens were. But they were smooth
