Central PA Banter (Banter Less?) Thread


Recommended Posts

I totally agree about some people not wanting to wade through tons of non-weather posts on the weather board, and for that reason I support your efforts.  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!

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.

My anxiety over flying has increased big time this week. The scenes from Philadelphia last night were disturbing. Ugh.

I hear ya pal. I’ve been over the whole flying thing for many years. I just don’t like it anymore, and I used to love it. 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.

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. 

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.

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.

It is absolutely insane. Lots of people who voted for him looking up “what is a tariff” today.

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.

Nothing about it makes any sense. 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. 

Yep, that's where I'm at as well. 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.

It’s going to be a long week for me with the Eagles in the Super Bowl and all of the storm tracking…

I will need to try to sleep sometime…but it might be really tough!

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.

My theory: he had a problem - be it good or alcohol - that they think he won’t overcome
