They’d show for that, imagine the bragging rights

I can remember this back to the Bush adminsitration

The first one is still good as a stand alone if you go into it knowing the large scale stuff won’t get resolved, like a slice of life piece in a fantasy setting.

I hadn’t heard the claim that the trilogy was complete. My understanding is that he was writing these with his dad. Once his dad died he basically just stopped.

The part he did that was shitty was a kickstarter/donation drive for something with the promise that if a target was hit he’d read a chapter of book 3 and that played out like a grift.

This project is supposed to be complete in 2050, so I assume this is just existing track that they were able to claim for development but have to replace.

This is absolutely a reasonable thing to criticize

Fair enough. Similar to the prevailing liberal thinking that kids are a luxury lifestyle that shouldn’t be available to the poor.

I get where you are drawing from but I don’t think this crosses over into eugenics. I interpreted this as being about cruelty/abuse not “too stupid to have kids” stuff.

yeah, I felt bad about responding after I scrolled down and saw another sub-thread. Your point about unintended consequences is valid, the context of the example is hard not to reject. Suprised I didn’t see anyone bring up non-local drivers, which I think allows a less direct rebuttal.

not the person in the chain, but it came across something like “trying to change an unsafe driving culture is the real problem”

I think “independent plumber” was intended to mean “self-employed” in this case. I am not defending small business owners outside of the owner/operator type setup.

It’s like a window into hell

It would be really expensive to jump dumbells by smaller increments though. For me at least once I got past 10-15lbs the 5lb jumps felt ok but for flys and similar it is rough.

Gotta convert all my dumbbell weights to barbell now tho.

I haven’t done much (anything other than a landmine press) with barbells, but isn’t it just slightly higher than what the added dumbbell weight would be, with the gain coming from easier stabilization?

guilty from birth?

I thought it was 1 gram protein to 1 kilogram bodyweight

Trucks are primarily cosmetic as far as I can tell. I won’t argue they aren’t useful in rural environments but I also don’t think it drives the bulk of sales/ownership at this point.
