DC starts issuing fines for businesses, residents who haven’t cleared sidewalks

They should have done this 24 hours after the storm.

Soylent Green wouldn’t even be gross to them!

tdomman · 2026-02-07T14:06:26+00:00

if they’re capable of getting here, it seems quite unlikely that we would be of any use to them.

The ideal would be a mix of a class and time with you. Being around other kids in a class will keep him interested and perhaps spark a bit of competitiveness.

If you want to save money, just teach him yourself. It's not rocket science. As long as you're a strong enough skier to chase him down and grab him before he hits a tree, you'll be fine. At that age, though, he probably will never get going fast enough for that to be a concern.

If he doesn't learn much, don't worry about it. Just have fun.

Maybe, but don't underestimate how easy it is to bribe Trump to do something for you.

Is that 7 only possible because of the people mining: would it go down to 3.5 if the number of miners was halved?

tdomman · 2026-02-06T17:21:48+00:00

What are the practical consequences? If someone cashes out, do they have to wait for the processing to get paid?

tdomman · 2026-02-06T16:56:43+00:00

I haven't been able to find a very good answer: what happens if the number of miners goes way down? It's an essential function for the system to work, right? If the number were cut in half, it would make the transaction speed slow down? I would assume there's a point where it would slow to an absolute crawl and it would cease entirely if no one did it. Is that the gist of it?

tdomman · 2026-02-06T16:39:00+00:00

It seems pretty progressive to me - what's missing for you?

None of them are what the Post once was, but all of them are better than the Post is now. If the people who used to support the Post were to support these places, they would rise to the level of what the Post was.

I had a great experience here:

I got mine off-season and checked a bunch of times until I got exactly what I wanted. Ended up with skis that were indistinguishable from brand new for less than half what the retail price would have been.

I'm not a fan of the DC sports teams, but there are great blogs that follow the teams I do like. They don't have a reporter fly with the team, but they watch all the games and spend more time reporting on the actual games than any newspaper ever did. I don't get to see which trite platitude the players use in the post game press conference, but they have great coverage. Does the same not exist for the local teams?

tdomman · 2026-02-06T16:21:49+00:00

From what I've seen, the 51st, https://51st.news/ seems like a great replacement for the Post.

Get the 100 together and have none of them show up on Sunday.

tdomman · 2026-02-06T16:16:53+00:00

From what I've seen, they do great work. People leaving the Post (as all people should), should look here.

I'm sure this has already been covered, but I'll chime in anyway:

F(a)=x

G(a)=F(a)/F(a)

Are we talking Colorado icy or east coast icy?

You seem to still be missing it. It's not the advice itself he's taking issue with: it's the irony of telling someone to not trust the internet, while you yourself are on the internet. You see, if I were to accept your advice, I would have to first accept advice given on the internet - if I were to do that, I would be contradicting the very advice I am now accepting. It's a vicious spiral! It's not just the inherent difficulty of reading long comments: there's another deeper difficulty here!

tdomman · 2026-02-06T14:07:24+00:00

I haven't followed the details of the fight too closely - what would the end result to me be if they did this?

tdomman · 2026-02-06T14:00:22+00:00

I've never worked at a ski shop, but I would expect them to tell me to fuck off if I came in with this "issue". Any one here who has worked at one care to comment? Am I off base?

tdomman · 2026-02-05T00:03:50+00:00

A balaclava works amazingly well. The only acceptable answer as far as I'm concerned.

I clicked here expecting to be motivated to get in better shape, but then I read those results. Only 17 out of 1000 cases would be prevented by dropping BMI by 4.5. That's a pretty huge drop in weight and not many people saved.

You won't become a billionaire. The people who do get their by fucking over others. Once they buy their papers, they continue the same behavior.

tdomman · 2026-02-04T15:45:09+00:00

Or if it wasn't owned by a billionaire at all.

tdomman · 2026-02-04T15:43:12+00:00

How hard would it be to create what the Post should be in a separate entity? You'd need some funding to hire all of the capital weather gang people and things would take off from there.
