friction is good

@wrowclif I live out in the middle of nowhere with far more than a half acre. But I do ride around.

On the gravel road to my house, though, lives a little old lady who was elderly when we moved in 25 years ago. She push mows her multiple acres every day it seems.

She seems to like it.

@MaxMcGuireCPA They did it because it's what we want.

Where I am, teachers still receive a pension. But you look at that pension account and see a lot of money it and wish you could just invest it how you want.

And you can. And some do. And thus lose their pension.

@tetheredtoed1 I actually love this. Kids should be taught to do logic like this.

@handmadeshoesia @wrowclif My oldest did this. When I tried to substitute for her mom at night so her mom could get sleep, I gave her bottle after bottle of water. Those diapers were full in the morning.

Would not recommend.

@indexnforgetit As much as you can purposefully not use it, you're still using it. It's embedded everywhere.

@wrowclif I like to mow. I've got philosophical issues with it because I'm not sure why I think it's okay to lop off all those flowers before they reproduce and in the process destroy multiple habitats for mice, bugs, and etcetera.

But I like to do it.

@UpTambourine Some arguments are better not to get into.

[Jim @buzzjorgensen]

@CurtGBagne At least they gave you a counter. When I offer low, I usually get ignored.

@PunkyCovfefe @GrindeOptions Here I thought it was because it was election day and somebody was trying to convince us that whoever is in charge shouldn't be.

I guess I should have realized local ND politics might not have that big of an impact on the market.

[Jim @buzzjorgensen]

@wrowclif Is that some kind of euphemism?

[Jim @buzzjorgensen]

@Daniel_Spenrath @jmhorp Well -- except BLS data actually says $29.98. Times 40 and times 52 is $62,350.

$35 x 40 x 52 = $72,800.

This really isn't hard math.

@avidseries What? Like this: https://t.co/nfVtkei0Wz

@TURBOPOSSUM @wrowclif Oh. I don't do that.

[Jim @buzzjorgensen]

@wrowclif @TURBOPOSSUM Twitter knows I'm 52. I've never seen one of those ads here...

@ben_wnc I guess that would explain why weeds come up through my wood chips.

[Jim @buzzjorgensen]

@BoyMeetsBurr @shagbark_hick 27mph is the standard. In both my '19 Prius and my '23 Tacoma, I do this regularly. But I've also done it in a wide variety of vehicles. My first was a '73 Chrysler. I have been in a few that won't kick in until higher, but it's rare.

27mph in a Prius gives phenomenal mpg.

@CoachAGochis When I moved to higher ed, one thing that struck me is that nothing ever lasts more than 50 minutes unless it is a very small meeting with < 5 people and it was agreed upon ahead of time.

Plus -- I have multiple degrees and never took notes after my freshman year in 1992.

[Jim @buzzjorgensen]

This was a long time ago...

@wrowclif The battery in one of mine died yesterday afternoon. Lasted significantly longer than yours, but I was convinced they'd last forever.
