that's a sensational bow. have seen many built like that down below the lower hatchery at RF, and always suspected they were from the lake.

i'm curious - has it always been thus with the sticklebacks? i have, of course, encountered sculpins in trout streams all my life - but never sticklebacks until the last two summers when my grandson started catching them in the pilchuck along with the expected sculpins, crawdads, baby lamprey...

only at the levels where most of the roster has no chance to get to the highest level. the bulk of the worst players are competing for the tiny handful of remaining nhl goon-ish jobs you are describing. the higher the level, and the more meaningful the game, the less of that performative...

i didn't get exposed till i went to college in alberta - which was 1987 - so i got exposed when the oilers and flames were at their zenith, and fell hard for the game from the first small town action i saw in-person. speed, contact, skill, finesse, teamwork, actual toughness. what a...

fixed it for you

regarding y2k... 1. there wasn't any social media, no grassroots conspiracy theorizing driving the panic. the expressed concern was transmitted largely from technical experts out to the rest of us. 2. the most knowledgeable layer of subject matter experts were writing and distributing...

does the PE model call for finding great businesses with great brands? i think it calls for finding bad businesses with good to great brands - then buying low because the sellers are distressed - then extracting value from the brand faster than consumers can get wise. "profit" gets used as a...

if they're in your back yard rob - is there a chance you're utilizing power sourced from windmills? cause if there is - you are prohibited by your own previously posted purity standard from complaining about them in any way. let's keep it real, no hypocrisy. ok?

i take what free consumer-grade LLM's report with a pillar of salt - but what i'm getting back is that the first ever was recorded in 1997, the most recent before this weekend was 2005, and the total number reported from 1997 till this week is 5.

true, but any nissan with <50Kmi is unlikely to be old enough for this.

i've never been clear on whether some, all, or none of the troutlodge fish at RF are/were triploids. i had assumed so for a long time, but i've seen and caught so many there that have none of the grotesque disproportions and features of most confirmed triploids i've seen. anyway, i landed a...

which stand up comic could make the most/best hay out of this story? the potential!

this thread prompted me to pull a fresh extract - new tigers in the pipeline as of may... generational demographic will now resemble china.

there's a stretch of puget sound beach i spent a lot of time on in recent years that has a ton of western fence lizards, and also many northern alligator lizards, both populating that high tide - driftwood zone. plenty of garters in there too, including some big ones. once in a while, a rubber...

like what? give me just the last 5 days' worth of worse things, to start.

i pull a csv extract from the link below (it's a wdfw dataset but not the wdfw site) and then work with the data in excel. the format in the snips is just a pivot table. the stocking plan is a different dataset, but i'm guessing it can also be pulled in csv. if not, there are tools out there...

is there someone offering odds on the outcome? kalshi? polymarket? sign me up. you'd have to be as silly as the petitioners to bet on something like that passing anywhere in the world, let alone oregon.

assuming the wdfw datasets are accurate, the last adult rainbow stocked in dry falls was in 1998. i don't think any of the triploids planted there were fry. also, stocking levels really have not changed in the last ten years except to discontinue the tigers. if there are any left, they will...

profit margins aren't an obstacle, that's like saying rolling is an obstacle to motor vehicle safety. profit is an incentive, and a good one. and it naturally creates the further incentive to prioritize safety in the best interest of profits - if the the cost of negligence is allowed to be...
