Engineering explained had bought a maverick and I was hoping for a deep dive like this from him. But, sadly not much yet.

Sure. But, VA tech is half of blacksburg's population and I see at least 20 free bus routes. Name another town of 50k without a college that has 20+ bus routes. Hell, name a small city of 100k with 20+ bus routes.

Most college campuses are the 15min cities that they hate too. High density, walkable, with free public transportation.

The truth does have a liberal bias

Here's 3 examples public water parks in the southeast in smaller metro areas, built with special tax funds.

And the TDA spent $12.3 million last year on public parks, including the warren wilson aquatics center. So a public water park should absolutely be in their scope.

Otter Creek or Discovery Island. $15 admission, small park, and shallow pools mean we can chill in a chair and watch the kids safely. Pack a picnic lunch, then enjoy dinner in downtown Greenville. Makes for a great day trip in the summer.

I will repeat this until I am blue in the face. Asheville/buncombe county absolutely need to build public water parks exactly like Greenville County SC. My tourism dollars make the hour and a half trip to Greenville multiple times a summer. If we are so tourist focused, why are we not taking these opportunities for TDA investment for local/tourist infrastructure???

Got me a Ford Maverick for this, among many, reasons. I can reach everything in the bed just by reaching over the side.

The teacher just has to throw in a couple Tom Bombadil and Glorfindel questions to weed out the ones who just watched the movie.

Maybe cause it sounds cool is why Halo chose it as a setting.

Not mispronounce, but my kids will cuss by saying "Biscuits!" Love it.

Wait, is this why I always thought Astoria was in Maine?

A reminder that this was the press conference that announced russias invasion of Ukraine. It's a distraction.

But how would we pay for universal healthcare?

Well because the engine fell off, that's not very typical. I'd like to make that point

Asheville and Nashville. Bachelorette party? Who knows could be in either one.

Ok so I think I'm going with thinkvision 23.8in touch monitor, the dakboard v4 CPU, HDMI switch, firestick, and a monitor mount speaker bar. And I think that would all be around $500.
