"Methinks." Another sad tardanachronism echoing here in the dank.
You can think whatever you want champ! Doesn’t make your thoughts accurate, but then again it seems from this thread accuracy is not something you worry about .

I got a scholarship so I'm actually going to be headed to Norway for a few weeks to take a course in Norwegian. Past that, I'll be back home working and hoping to get in a lot of harder (for me) dry tooling in this summer.

Other than something @JasonG and I are gonna do I’m just planning on repeating some classic scrambles/ridge hikes in the cascades and Olympics. Probably do some bike packing if I can get to it, and canoe the Bowron in October and hunting in AK in November.

Strange views you hold on to. Are you poisoned with venomous loathing? Do you hate?
this whole thread is hilarious. What was your frothy rant about? Some people that were fired already exercising free speech? Yes I could see why you might hate that with such vigor. Oh wait, you spouted off without knowing the facts? I can see you’ve got the world figured out, you must not need any new information clouding your indoctrination. ☹️
Meh. As in why would either of us engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man? I prefer conversations about things we have in common.

Who can triangulate at somewhat close location as to where this scene was shot?

Sorry work work work need to get the stickers out!
Anyone want to have a Seattle area pubclub?

I talked to a lawyer friend and it sounds like setting up as a Washington non-profit is the lowest hassle/cheapest option. Getting more details.
At any rate this call for help is a standing offer! Reach out to me and lets talk.
-
Good to hear from you @ivan
-
As you may know my goal is to change this site into an official non-profit entity.
to promote and support climbing in the northwest , to preserve the stories and legacies of those that have passed through here, maybe even do some charitable stuff if it can be put together.
But I know nothing about this from a legal or organizational standpoint. And with a new role at work I don’t have time for much.
so I’m looking for help.
Help with everything including running the site from a technical standpoint. I know I’ve asked for this before and some have even answered. I just need to meet you and maybe we can have a working session.so this is a call for help. Help to get us to non-profit status if possible. Help running that.
technical side I need *nix skills, upgrading MySQL, upgrading php, that kind of thing.
was even thinking of reaching out to the UW Discord channel, anyone here on that?
just looking for people who will protect this site, help run it as a nonprofit,keep the lights on.

Now that's a cool bike! Our dog rides in a trailer--but your dog is getting much better views. Titanium? Love the center stand too.How does the front wheel track? Much skidding off pavement?
it handles like a regular bike, super nimble....but at the same time is has a unique feel to the ride that just feels good. hard to explain. no skidding, tight turn radius. I"ve taken it on mtn bike trails (cross country, not the big drops) and it cruises them.
This it model I have here, but yes, mine is ti.

Woah awesome!!

You make a lot of assumptions and have strong opinions that you’re well entrenched in. At little flowery prose to go with that. Not saying I have done the same, we are both old men yelling at clouds. You don’t really know much about me or how I arrived at them, other than I don’t share all your view points.
I can think of a lot of things I’d rather do than debate someone such as yourself on a Friday night. I wish you the best with your opinions and viewpoints. The truth is I’m sure somewhere in between. Best of luck Brian.
I did used to enjoy a good spar, but I spend too much time in front of a computer as it is.

Exactly. We do not have, nor did we ever have a "treaty" to protect Ukraine as you claim. You should do a better job reading the links you post. Semantics aside, I think it's a good thing that an American President finally wants to stop wholesale slaughter and war--and not feed endless war and corruption. Progressives are sounding more and more like neocons nowadays.
Unfortunately the…well what ever you call these people you voted for …seem to be embracing and apologizing for the Nazis. Are they Republicans?
sure if you’re anti-war I think that is great I don’t like at either. But does that mean capitulating to a foreign invader? I would think that was the only argument for war versus to the take control resources of other countries for your corporations.
Are you a Putin fan? Seems like a number of (again not sure what to call them, sure aren’t the classic principled conservatives) love him and his methods.
Full story of this administrations impact has yet to be seen. Best take I saw was what Chappelle said on SNL. Personally, as you’d expect I don’t like what I see. I’m all for having a more efficient government, but what I’m seeing is a clown show of firings and then rehiring when some 20 year old making decisions fucked up. I’m seeing guardrails that were put together over many many years in a bipartisan way being dismantled, many of which allow corruption to go unchecked. I’m seeing a government run in “please the dictator” type of way rather than a steady guiding ethical way.
I do think it is possible to cherry pick a positive item here and there. I’ll leave that to you. And I do wish the best for our country, and hope Trump and team are successful. What I mean by that: Whatever the hell this grand experiment is, it better work and not hurt the people. Like Chappelle said, congratulations now don’t fuck it up and don’t hurt your own people.

Well, from the article I read about this, I think the folks up there unfurling the flag were already fired?
