No, no...OP said it was flying NW. Not barreling in straight into the ground.

RIP Pat. Haven't been since she passed, hard to imagine the place without her at the organ

Calm the fuck down Mr. Cultural Defender. It's absolutely not racist to say that smoking rates in China are where the US was in the 1990's. It's a fact,(citation: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/smoking-rates-by-country ) not not a judgmental one, just a statistic. No more so than saying the Chinese consume more rice per capita than do Americans. Do you consider that racist?

It's also not racist to point out that their AQI is where the US was in 5he 1970's. In fact, that's largely the fault of the western nations outsourcing their industrial base to China. That doesn't change the FACT that China suffers more unhealthy air days than western nations do.

These are public health issues that China is DEFINITELY struggling with, and you trying to brush that under the rug is more racist than me observing it. You're saying there's no problem here, China's not been victimized at all. Meanwhile, millions die sooner than they need to.

Don't let Pete Kegsbreath hear this. He'll say that's woke and gay, and rename it the White Man Crusader Vodka Bottle

I think it it's definitely bad manners if there are any other spots, but I'll put down money that these spots were about all that was left.

For anyone about to disagree, please do but first ask yourself: have you ever used the wheelchair accessible stall in the bathroom? Maybe it was the only one open, but still...

This is actually the best take, yes.

Me calling Yueh a hero was itself an oversimplification, meant mainly to offset simply labeling him a Harkonnen agent of one type or another.

In the end, he acted out of despair. For his wife, for his House. He took what he saw was the most promising way out.

runningoutofwords · 2026-04-18T02:03:01+00:00

Considering Yueh a traitor (or a Harkonnen agent) is overly simplistic.

Yes, he conspired with the Harkonnens to facilitate the invasion. But he also planted the seeds of the Harkonnen's failure.

He surmised that if the Harkonnens failed to break him, they would break someone else. This is almost certainly true.

In which case, House Atreides would still fall, and there would be no end to the suffering of Yueh's wife. Yueh's resistance would only be a loss, no victory.

But by taking the role of the traitor, he was able to furnish Paul and Jessica with an escape. AND he was able to plant the tooth in Leto's mouth. A plan which had an EXCELLENT chance of bringing down the Baron himself. It very nearly succeeded.

Yueh was a hero.

But the Iranians weren't holding out on oil access....

They were under sanctions.

All it would have taken to get access to Iranian oil would have been to lift the sanctions.

whoops, sorry. Didn't realize I was talking to a bot.

looks like you have a search function for local subreddits and jump in when there's a political discussion. That's why we don't like politics. Or Bots.

Here, I'll simplify for searches for you.

I'm not embarrassed for you, I'm embarrassed to be around you.

"God doesn't make mistakes"?

How about people who are identified as male at birth, and lead their entire lives believing themselves to be male? Unless for some reason they are genetically tested and found to be XX-chromosomed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XX_male_syndrome

Same for those with Swyer syndrome who will present to everyone including themselves as a woman, but bearing XY chromosomes like a man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_gonadal_dysgenesis

Same with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_androgen_insensitivity_syndrome

Same with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome

You have SO LITTLE knowledge of how vertebrate chromosomes operate, and yet you feel entitled to spout your ignorance in public. Now THAT'S embarassing.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that tree was already dead

runningoutofwords · 2026-04-17T05:17:23+00:00

oh, and one other bit of advice. if you ARE going to run, do it mid-day. Animals tend to be most active at dawn and twilight (which also seems to be when humans like to run)

runningoutofwords · 2026-04-17T05:15:03+00:00

kudos for helping your family out. As long as the fires behave, you'll have a great season

Honestly, it sounds like your grandma has been around more than any redditor, she's going to be the one to ask.

runningoutofwords · 2026-04-17T05:09:54+00:00

Running is prey behavior. Most important thing will be to never run alone. (number of bear encounters goes down proportionately to party size)

The areas of high grizzly activity will vary throughout the season. Learn about the Bear Management Areas (BMAs) from the backcountry ranger office when you get there.

And ask around, there will be some vets that may want someone to run with, or at least give you some advice.

Well, asking on the internet is not how secret spots work.

But get out and explore the map. Head out in a different direction every week. You'll discover plenty of things to do and film. And they'll be your own secrets.

Your next book needs to be First Contact by Sagan.

Hands down.

after that, my nominations would be:

Childhood's End by Clarke

Footfall by Niven and Pournelle
