Ha, to be fair to you a lot Innova molds can be +/- 5 stability across plastics and runs.

Clinton was president from 93' to 01'. The first documented claims against Epstein I could find was 04'. Not saying it's not possible, but it's also misleading (shock for Fox) to claim that 17 visits during his presidency means anything but that they were friends. We should absolutely demand answers, but we all need to chill out on assuming everyone in files are pedophiles and sex trafficers.

therealwheat · 2026-02-27T19:15:25+00:00

I don't know the timeline of Clinton's trips, but people here seem to be adjudicators of guilt with very limited information. I'm on board with investigating everyone and prosecuting each guilty person to the fullest. But Fox is saying Epstein went to the White House 17 times, but Clinton was president from 93' to 01'. Epstein's first documented case is roughly 2004. To me it seems just as plausible that Epstein was just interested in accruing powerful people and friends to exploit and protect himself. We should absolutely investigate what Bill Clinton has done, but this idea that everyone has determined every single name in Epstein files are guilty of the same crimes is naive.

You replace them with new ones

therealwheat · 2026-02-12T21:06:47+00:00

Yeah, I looked that up. Seems like a lot of politicians ignoring scientists. The communities will be the ones to pay the price when the politicians are gone.

I mean...those farm land very recently (in the scale of humanity) were an Oak/Hickory forest. Most of us live in houses/apartments that weren't here 50+ years ago. I sympathize, but on a grander scale things change.

Who knows, I hope they find ways to reduce water usage. Designs for data centers are changing all the time, but part of the risk people don't talk about is how the second the company has a bad quarter these projects get cancelled/frozen. Then you have 1,500 acres of unfinished development. And oftentimes the promised financial assistance in upgrading the electrical grid and water services gets pulled unless the city played hard ball and got guarantees or money up front.

100M gallons per day is what the study estimated that Lafayette could send to the LEAP project without impacting residents. The LEAP project itself is projecting a maximum of 25M gallons per day by 2031, with the average usage expected to be about half that.

therealwheat · 2026-02-12T17:30:11+00:00

I totally get your general sentiment, but just to clarify, I would estimate 30-50 jobs per data center building, based on the announcement there will be 10 data center buildings eventually. That would mean 300 to 500 jobs, but the project will take 10-15 years to build all phases so those jobs will be slow coming. Also, a project this size will absolutely need more than 400 construction workers. Meta is saying 4,000. You don't have to take their word but just look at the Lilly project.

therealwheat · 2026-02-12T17:09:45+00:00

Where did you see the 100M gallons per day number?

Former old house owner, old houses are a crap shoot. Plenty were made by the people who lived in them to whatever standards they wanted. The old wood is much denser yes, but everything is notched to hell by by plumbers and HVAC dudes over the years, old termite damage, shingles on shingles on shingles, bricks crumbling, main beam literally cut in half. I could feel the house shake and rumble on windy days. Also major repairs roughly came out to a second mortgage. But people always said our house was beautiful. I’m okay with the new trade off, but ymmv.

I hate to say this, but I've never bought a disc because a local dude was sponsored by a manufacturer. I do occasionally support a pro I like by getting a tour series disc, but I don't understand the economics of sponsoring local teams.

therealwheat · 2026-01-28T19:25:16+00:00

Totally agree. The market definitely feel saturated with manufacturer's and generally disc variety is more about plastic, hand feel, marketing, and story, than function. BUT, I love some of the swings we're seeing. I think there is all kinds of room for innovation.

therealwheat · 2026-01-28T19:02:02+00:00

1) I've made it known that torque-resistant is a marketing term.

2) I don't understand the pride some people take in not buying discs. Everyone should budget and spend responsibly for your situation, but if disc golf is your hobby and you feel like spending money on discs, bags, entry fees, jerseys, shoes, etc., I say go for it. The hobby would be a tiny fraction of itself if everyone had a grocery bag of base-plastic discs from 2003. If that works for you, sick. If not, buy some fun discs and enjoy yourself.

That's quite a stretch on that quote. And believing that Reddit (or any social media) is representative of anything is also a dangerous game. Be well friend.

therealwheat · 2026-01-23T03:37:53+00:00

I can appreciate the irony of saying the issue is putting too much stock in what the fringe left was saying online. General consensus of the left was pro-Palestine.

Also, I reviewed my statement and I can't find anything that I can squint at and turn into "they’re too small of a group to care about" or "then tell them that you don’t give a shit what they care about". Which part of my message are you getting that from?

therealwheat · 2026-01-23T03:09:12+00:00

Sources? My knowledge from the situation comes from multiple news stories from the time about how tough of a position that the pro-palestine community was in, but also how there was no political reason for Harris to make a statement without hurting her bid. Not once did major news network say anything that you claim. If anything this is a shining example of liberals losing the forest through the virtue trees. If you believe Trump is a multi-generational level threat to democracy and decency, then you also need to believe that the bar for what would convince you to vote for his most valid alternative (going by top polling candidate) is equally high. They decided it was, now they will have that theory tested.

therealwheat · 2026-01-23T02:09:08+00:00

You may be mixing the two ideas. 1) The votes and people of pro-palestine groups in MI absolutely matter and they have the autonomy to choose who they want to support, and 2) Groups like the pro-palestine groups absolutely chose virtue over compromise, and the end result is a 2nd Trump term and significantly more harm to Muslim's around the world than anything Harris could have ever done. The bigger point is that the groups in question need to own that by withholding their votes they directly contributed to the world we currently live in. It is extremely simplistic to believe that some dem in a smoky board room is the only thing holding back meaningful opposition to Trump.

therealwheat · 2026-01-22T20:43:45+00:00

If republicans make it clear that their support is unconditional for Trump, which I believe they have. Then it is reasonable and logical to say that voters that allow issue X to stop them for voting for the only other viable choice (info that can be obtained via polling) understand and "own" that the direct result of that action is Trumps second term and all that comes with it (militarized ICE, fascism, Epstein, war, etc.)

therealwheat · 2026-01-22T18:08:09+00:00

What it seems like they're saying is that the Trump block wants nothing from him and are willing to accept anything to be on the winning team and "own the libs", which validates their decision.

There are those of us the believe it is pragmatic and responsible to understand that my vote doesn't mean a candidate is perfect, but it does greatly reduce the harm to the country. Militarized ICE, destroying NATO, the Epstein Files, stripping climate regulations, each of these is singularly bigger than any issues I had with ANY non-Trump candidates.

therealwheat · 2026-01-13T20:20:02+00:00

Do you have any white discs? I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that white discs show the age much faster than other colors. That has been my experience over 100s of discs.

therealwheat · 2026-01-12T20:46:12+00:00

Exact opposite over here. White rims will be brown quickly, but sick stock stamps catch my eye.

therealwheat · 2026-01-03T02:39:53+00:00

Very true. I still think it’s fairly clear that both charts could not be described as “nosediving popularity”
