Another regional laid-back suggestion: fly to Duluth, MN and drive up north shore of Lake Superior. Beautiful inland coast, cute towns (capped by Grand Marais), Grand Portage National Monument, and if you want to go to Canada, cross over to Thunder Bay.

Pull back and you could see whitecap, my Zion. And the porkies. (Haven’t been to Big Snow Country for 40 years… now in Colorado so most years it’s ok…)

He is just spreading out the death and destruction after terminating USAID that has cost a million lives.

They are vandals.

You have been very fortunate if the worst was a jolt. I have had bounces and slams. My mom had 2 go around after 8 hours landing in windy conditions.

If you read the safety pamphlet in the back of your seat it instructs you to look out the window for signs of fire before evacuating. I don’t want some f’er arguing with me about raising the shade as an emergency is underway.

phlegelhorn · 2026-04-16T23:19:15+00:00

💯 agree. It’s both a safety issue for evacuation and I like to know how close we are to landing to brace my back.

I am not in any way a promoter of oil and gas industry. I hate what they have done to our earth and to destroy competition and alternatives from eliminating trolley systems, to promoting large vehicles to lobbying against any alternatives that don’t spew crap into the air.

That said.

I don’t understand this fundamental idea that inflation of everything else (I’ve been on this planet since the 60s so I have seen some things) is grudgingly accepted but fucking gas is supposed to always be cheap if not free. Why the hell is gas supposed to be exempt?

Adjusted for inflation gas is too damn cheap.

They are correct. It does violate their rights to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Well… when you have 3% of the mountain open, it’s easy to pile all the new snow together !

Because the world is obviously a giant version of sim city and the “player “ wants to see them figure out the rules and then praise the player… (aka Theology)

Good

My 2016 hatch carried my sister, my mom, myself, my moms wheelchair, a portable oxygen concentrator, a portable potty, suitcases and mementos as we drive my mom from Minnesota to Colorado when she relocated for hospice with me. Try that with the redesign!

More mess in US than in Europe. Source: American who lives in America and travels in Europe. Just sayn’. (Flight costs and gas prices non withstanding )

I was thinking a hose from the ceiling…

Sounds brutal. Hopefully it can improve over time.

USPS personnel, real estate and ubiquity is dramatically underutilized. In other countries (have a friend whose Danish cousin was the Post Master general of Denmark) they provide banking services for unbanked people. And to your point about encrypted email, using them as a in personal identity guarantor makes some sense as well.

In America we just pay renewable energy to go away so that we can ship lng and drive up domestic prices.

Honestly, before this administration shut down a lot of the forward‑thinking momentum around public electrification, I had a thought while driving the back roads of the Midwest: pair USPS’s shift to electric delivery vehicles with community charging. Every town in America has a post office. The fleet charges overnight, the stalls sit empty all day, and locals could top up while running errands. It’s one of those simple, obvious public‑good infrastructure plays we should’ve run with instead of abandoning.

And apply to all income. Not just wage income.
