  1. 240 inches in Randolph that winter. I will accept that.
  2. I would move to the high desert, for sure. My wife and I dreamed of a house in the high terrain of New Mexico, but the notion of having to fly there every time turned us off. I love the dry climate. California? No way.
  3. I decided instead of getting mad I'd just leapfrog the issue altogether.
  4. I'm thinking I should root for a dominant northern stream parade of clippers.
  5. I was actually wondering what you'd think about that. I had figured the Muslim community would be a little ticked off since I have heard it paints them in somewhat of a bad light (in addition to the other massive issues with the movie).
  6. I guess we know where @UMB WX stands on Epstein's rape island... gross.
  7. I am associating it with the global elite, who for sure are not attached to one party or the other. At that level the labeling between Democrat vs Republican melts away. That's just a fake distinction to keep us lowly types occupied and distracted. The elite are all about themselves and they are in perfect agreement on maintaining the status quo.
  8. Epstein was connected to all sorts of powerful figures and he literally had a jet called the "Lolita Express" that flew to a private child rape island everyone knew about for decades... but Time magazine said this is all a conspiracy theory by Trump people, so case closed I guess.
  9. Blanket labeling of any questioning as a "conspiracy theory" and discrediting those who question the status quo as "crazy" is an ancient propaganda technique used by authoritarian figures, just FYI... A few years ago, it was a "conspiracy theory" to believe that the government could force businesses to close and people to wear masks and stay indoors over a virus that is survivable by 99.7% of the population.
  10. Yeah, that stuff is clearly nuts. But I don't think it's nuts to say Hollywood and part of the elite establishment has an issue with pedophilia and child abuse/trafficking. I mean, we all know they do. It's been exposed. Epstein, Corey Feldman, Kevin Spacey, Prince Andrew... I don't think they drink blood, but some of them definitely traffic in little kids and it is covered up. That's no conspiracy theory, despite what Time or The Atlantic might say...
  11. Eh, if the conspiracy theory is directed at powerful media and political figures, I’m not going to just take their word for it that all is well/nothing to see here.
  12. That's what I mean when I say they snapped. I agree societal bonds have been in decline for a long time now, it's just that COVID and the social movement upheavals have pushed some people who were barely maintaining that veneer of basic human decency and rationality already to the breaking point.
  13. It's been a lot for people to process over the past several months, and certainly some people I know have clearly snapped to some extent. I think part of the issue is that some people did literally nothing but watch 24/7 cable news when quarantined, and it's like they are emerging from a brainwashing chamber from a sci-fi movie. The things they earnestly believe now are crazy.
  14. Larry Cosgrove hasn't been accurate since the early 2000s, dude.
  15. There are many people across the country who are barely holding it together right now. The month of November is going to be absolutely wild. I don't want to be anywhere near a major city at that time.
  16. I plan to post a lot of pics this year for you guys.
  17. I believe these guys also had a similar study that said protests are not a significant vector of spread. They have been taking fire on Twitter over perceived bias between the two studies. Usual stuff these days. LOL
  18. I just refuse to buy the (clearly politically slanted) notion that a biker rally is somehow fundamentally a much stronger vector for COVID spread than a packed rally/protest or the schools (especially colleges). I haven't looked closely at the study in question, but, scientifically speaking, it doesn't seem possible to be able to draw these kinds of conclusions this quickly given where most states are with their data.
  19. Given how bad the US is at contract tracing, color me skeptical at the veracity of this study.
  20. The people who will have access to the limited supplies of the vaccine for the first six months aren't the usual customers at ski resorts or employees, I'm afraid. I am under the impression the vaccine will not be available to everyone on-demand until this time next year, most likely. Hopefully in time to save school year 2021-2022.
  21. I can't wait. Glad summer seems to be dead.
  22. It's like that everywhere. In the MA forum, I used to torment the posters from central and northern VA because when they turn to sleet it means I am getting hammered with snow.
  23. Randolph received 15" from that March 2011 storm. I'd take it. Sorry ORH.
  24. For a long time I have advocated for a peacetime draft of 18-20 year olds where we make them spend summers cleaning up cities, building infrastructure, etc. A lot of nations have mandatory military service still even though they never fight wars. It helps build national spirit and togetherness. It also helps the kids learn work ethic and some skills.
