I have made a lot of noise complaining over the years when public service information is not available outside these stupid apps (and have been successful in many cases). Complete bullshit to...

We were one of the many that left Seattle Public Schools for private during COVID. Two of our kids were in the HCC (the highest level of advanced learning), one certainly would have been. We are...

I work at the fucking hospital and thought I had 'good' insurance. I called urology directly an they told me to call the PCP since I have never been a patient in their clinic.

I have a lump in my balls and need an ultrasound. Obviously I will need to pay off some people for a referral and jump through a bunch of hoops first before I finally get to that point in a couple...

Then this is a no brainer. Move on quickly and easily when you start dealing with too much bullshit, such as the bullshit that has led you to seek therapy from an old man ski forum. If she does not...

The word itself makes some men uncomfortable.

Machine Learning in mammography (called CAD for computer aided detection) goes back to the 1960s. It has been in the clinic since the 90s when it was FDA approved, and really took off with Medicare...

My wife leased a few of the hardtops in a row, 1 of them being the new gen. Fun to drive. I don't recall anything ever going wrong with them, but they were all leases on the BMW 'we do all...

Had a lot of fun at Central tonight, skiing fast (for me) and getting big turns in. Was never too bad, but after 7:30 no waiting.

This it the same problem that plagues all forum vBulletin istallations: The geniuses that installed and maintain it realize they can easily customize it to add tags and ads and make search better and...

Not that I don't believe you, but hat doi yo mean by this?

$5M? And you can still read news? No question. I'd probably pay that much to have my kids never be able to, and they would assuredly come out ahead.

I can't stand "Welcome In", and it's not just because I'm old and grumpy.

We are not early risers (and no rush with the kids), but have been able to grab spots at West and East ~10:30 AM on weekends after some stressful circling. If you don't want to risk it I'd arrive...

Looks like they pulled the plug on the LP forum, read only now. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/landing/lonely-planet-community

In my nomad days I posted there a lot, it was a very good resource...

Yes, regrettably it's true.

A geezer forum on Newschoolers would be interesting. The big bodybuilding forum had a over 45 forum that seemed to be popular- I think it's good for the generations to hang a bit closer sometimes....

FB sucks and always has- the forum model is the only one designed to be more than useless blather. You can see the enshittification effect for anywhere that gets too popular and the moron brigade...

Those are good burgers.

Yup, great tool and has gotten me out of lot of jams- most recently trimming branches off the Christmas tree after it was put in the stand.

In, thanks!

You are disqualified when you change your line of work to being a professional guest on doofus podcasts.

Wish he had played the 'I was set up by the deep state, don't believe a word of their lies!' card.

Accelerationists find value in wasting electricity.

Just imagine the utopia we could all be living in if they declared no more Pokémon cards would be printed ever.

This was taken down on state sponsored "free speech" media, but it is still up here:

We are enjoying Bad Monkey, thanks for the rec.

I really really really hope Tyson destroys Jake Paul, but lately it seems like my (old) way of thinking is on the way out.

I think you should make piece with the idea of being in traffic with terrible drivers. Not sure what your other priorities are- family etc. but there's no cheat code. The big secret is the traffic is...

Should have shot the owner instead.

We were there Sunday as we happened to be riding by... it kind of sucked. Mainly old beat up demo gear and some sad local vendor stalls. Spin the wheel and win a pencil. Some of the ski shops seemed...

Had a good week- saw Sisters of Mercy and the next night Three for Silver which I had never heard of but put on an amazing show with circus performers and a grand old time. They will be in Portland...

That guy is out on $5k bail which pencils out to a $500 bond. I'd say that means he is not considered a threat.

What's an acre of campable to buildable land go for these days? Location, Location, Location of course- just some woods or whatever, no hunting or views etc.

Tweakers would have that open no problem in my neck of the woods.

It looked like they were realizing boxing was better than brawling during the fight. Respect for fighting hard, well beyond their level of fitness.

Whoa, that's in heavy rotation for us but never seen anyone on it. What was going on?

Came across this...

Operation CHARM

The Collection of High-quality Auto Repair Manuals spans almost all makes and models from 1982 through 2013. Our data will be available free of charge,...

IN, thanks.

This is how I keep my bike shed secure.

I'd set an alert on Google flights- they will email you weekly and you can get the rhythm of the flight cost. Zurich looks cheapest now for me- not bad at $800.

Never been there, but I'd want the...

Including the cost of the land?

In 2023 there were 6,522 single detached homes and 39,125 multi-unit added in BC, which was a record high.

STRs are the worst to me because they take away an existing unit of housing when we need more of it. Monthly rentals have a place I suppose, but lodging for travelers was segregated thousands of...

Having to change your password every 6 months is pretty annoying. I think that practice has been proven to be less secure.

Yeah, there is a concrete floor and an opening on the back side of the foundation (yard is sloped, garage/pad is level) so it is sort of like a crawlspace. I store yard shit/car ramps etc. in there....

Here's what it looks like.

I did check under a couple of the boards and some of the 4x8s beams on the support framing are rotted a bit- most were fine but a couple had some softness. The...

My parking pad is an old garage concrete foundation that is above a slope in my lot. Block legend is the garage burned down. There is a wood section of the floor for the front wheels of one of the...

Do these houses ever completely collapse one night killing everyone, or do the floors just get more and more crooked until it gets ridiculous? Are slopes ever declared non permittable, or can you get...
