Its at your own risk though. Lots of polished trolls. People got game there. Its not for everyone lol. After many years of diving into that crap I can pretty much hold my own. In fact when all is said and told I have probably taken down my share of those polished trolls you are referring to. As they say 'been there, done that'. I just find that the last year or two it isn't really worth the effort. No opinions will be changed and inevitably any worthwhile discussion will degenerate into playground name calling or even worse as others jump into the debate.

Only reason to "engage" in it is to play the troll game. Otherwise its basically just dueling echo chambers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know. Just saying if you want a cleaner discussion without constant derailment, OT here would be better- although you likely will have more limited participation.

Cobalt Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I mean in all honesty it's probably best to not track it around here. Noting ever produces aside from remnants (which can be good). It's really just like tracking a D4 HECS on the Euro. You know how the movie ends but you have to watch anyway. I know that, but I meant tracking them just to track them, not just for what ends up overhead. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Absolutely outstanding day today, well, least in Roanoke. Had car appt at 8:45. Dropped car off and walked 1.5 miles to a Bojangles and ate breakfast, walked back. Then walked their river trail once picked up car rest of afternoon. Put 36,128 steps on pedometer since midnight. I'd guess Roanoke's high was in the 56-58 range, PERFECT spring day with a slight breeze. Came home about 6 pm, high here was 52.8. Edit- I average right at 2000K steps a mile, so about 18 miles today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricanes are fascinating in their own right, even though the vast majority will never affect our yards. I sometimes track them casually just to see how they evolve.

87storms Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 i am absolutely 100% ready for warmer weather. i can't even describe how much i'm done with winter. i love snow for 3 months. if we can't get a good snowstorm in dec/jan/feb, then we're a miserable snowtown and don't deserve snow at any other time. march is for spring. april is definitely for spring. no exceptions. warm weather ftw in april.

But you are a douche with sports though. Yeah, I agree with this. I've never understood people that crap on the hometown sports teams regardless who they ultimately root for. I grew up just outside D.C. and have always been a Redskins fan, but having moved to Baltimore, I still like to see the Ravens win. It's where I live. Of course I want them to do well. And then there's also that I treat professional sports a lot like the way I think of weather. If I have no control over it, why lose my mind over it?

Caring about weather makes a lot more sense to me than whether some local or non local sports team does. Well anything? They could stop playing and I wouldn't notice.

CAPE Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Finally have my Jeep back after a month. New engine, new PCM, and about 30 hours of labor = a $10,000 job. I paid $100 of it. Investing in a platinum warranty when purchasing a 3 year old vehicle can be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
