Meh when you call Keeed a troll because he engaged in a little light trolling you cheapen the term for actual trolls like el Lobo Gordo. How about we just say his sense of humor occasionally “leaves a little something to be desired.”

No, what I'm saying is that your trolling in this forum has used up any sense of humor you used to have and now your posts are considered straight lines. Blame all the trolls that said stupid **** and then as part of their walking it back tried to claim it was a joke.

I mean what trolling are you talking about? On what subjects did I take positions I didn't believe to get a reaction from folks?

DVaut takes several month breaks. I suspect Fly objects to the new anti-dunking policy. Or maybe he's a victim of it.

There's a really good book called Structures about the basic physics/engineering of keeping things from collapsing. Highly recommended. It taught me the coolest mechanical engineering fact I know, which is that the weight of a bike actually hangs down from the top of the wheel and is suspended by the spokes. If you have a bike sitting still and sever the bottom spokes of the bike wheel, nothing happens, but if you cut the top ones, the bike will fall down.

Wagons and carriages work the opposite way!

An iron1 sighting!

fly was MIA before the change in policy, I believe I've seen him post elsewhere. I think maybe he's just bored with dunking on people. Dvaut takes long breaks all the time, this is standard.

jman's policy of letting sub-Gordo trolls stay around for funsies rustles me a little, but yeah people need to remember their training from ikes-sensei.

I'm kinda fascinated by someone taking the time and energy to write lengthy brilliant takes on current events for weeks on end only to then take months off at a time, and repeat this pattern for years.

Not sure how best to make sense of that.

Can I write in Ralph Northam or do they have to be directly connected to the administration? It could be argued that's he connected because racism.

i understand that blackface and kkk play directly into trump's wheelhouse but it's more of a "people who pretend to like trump get their reputations destroyed by trump then are thrown under a bus" game
