Like I said, I just hope it doesn't devolve into nastiness. I'm cautiously optimistic that with this crew it will not. In other news, I heard some stat the other day, and I could be a little off here so apologies, that Embiid has missed over half the games in his entire career?? Just found that astounding but I guess it shouldn't be all that surprising. Don't get me started... I just promised to be nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 Most of the banter continues in the main thread. I can't nor do I want to try and force people to banter here, but I will continue to do so if there's any interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASH_COOP Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I think this banter thread is a good idea. It’s nice to have a dedicated thread of only Weather discussion on a website that is intended for such use. Unfortunately, it will not work if the top posters do not separate their banter and weather related post as they account for a high percentage of the conversation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only fly when absolutely necessary nowadays. I saw your post from a while back where you expressed similar sentiments. It’s just….a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I looked at OT a few years and had to set my iPad on fire, it was so toxic. I used to post in the Red Sox thread in the sports board but a few NYY trolls ruined that many years ago too. Sad a smart, good person gets treated so poorly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot believe the things that people say to each other in OT. It's back and forth, every day, same group of people involved. I don't understand how or why they're not embarrassed by their own behavior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Since we now have a trade war - buckle up. PA exported $14.3 billion in goods to Canada, roughly 27% of total exports. We import around $3 billion from them. The 25% tariff will null this starting Tuesday. It will especially hit oil/gas and construction materials And most all our fruit and veggies come from Mexico, so big hikes there too. No one wins trade wars, consumers just pay higher prices. There is no benefit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliesmd Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Here is what I don't get. The rationale behind this is illegal immigration and fentanyl. China is a major player in the manufacture of fentanyl, yet they are slapped with a 10% tariff. I would think if you were serious about stopping it, they would be slapped harder. What will be interesting to see is if this actually last any length of time and consumer prices rise and people start complaining. Who will the administration blame because, like any politician, they certainly won't take accountability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are Dallas, how the hell do you not make it known Luka is available so you can create a bidding war and get a much bigger haul. Something is way off here.

When I saw it was a 3 team deal I had my hopes up that we gave Embiid away. My understanding is that Morey doesn't want to do anything at the deadline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that we all can get some snow. So much looks promising but I'll be honest...it bothers me that both Elliott and Chuck aren't enthused yet. They both like March. Hope they're right about that and wrong about February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
