    goddammit this irks me   


    tell you what…your well-dressed ass sitting at the gate can make fun of me all you want when you spot me at the airport wearing shorts and Birks topped off healthy cut of Skoal Original Fine Cut wedged betwixt my cheek and gum.  in fact, have a blast laughing at my country ass. 
     

    but shortly thereafter you’ll see this coonass boarding an Embraer Phenom 300E wearing the very rags you deem inappropriate for commercial flight.   myself, I’ll be laughing at the fools who think the veneer of particular clothing is the true measure of a man.  and  while you watch me ascend at gut wrenching angle and velocity, maybe you’ll come to realize that what a person wears has diddly fucking poo to do with who they are and what they’ve overcome, and oftentimes their chosen garb has little correlation, if any, with their strength of character.

    bud, you’re beliefs and  positions are not only shit, they’re nauseating.  and simply wearing a bespoke suit that visually delineates you from others less fortunate while you thunder humiliation and ridicule upon others for not meeting your standards or agreeing with you doesn’t make those beliefs and positions any more palatable or less nauseating.  

    a clown is a clown, regardless of the attire.  

    The fuck are you babbling about?  I said nothing about wearing a suit or even criticize casual attire,  there is a huge difference between comfortable clothes and pajamas with bed head and slippers.

    sound elite.  Are you an elitist?

    If showering and putting on clean clothes and having the common courtesy to not subject people to a speaker phone conversation in a crowded space is "elite" then I guess I am Michael Fucking Jordan.

    Are we free to dip on the plane if we have the correct attire?

    ...no, and another thing you shouldn't take your fucking shoes off on the plane or in the gate area.  Or talk on your fucking speaker phone, or watch god damn Youtube videos without headphones.

    I am a fan of personal freedoms, myself. 

    the societal standard of grooming and hygiene doesn't take away anything from "personal freedoms".   You're certainly free not to comply, and I'm free to question the general sanity of people who don't have the self respect to shower and put on clean clothes when they go out in public.

    I think he just needs the bare minimum - irons, a driver, a putter, and a wedge, a bag....that's probably it.  I doubt he even needs shoes yet.

    Does $150 sound like the right price for a used set?

     

    Also, I met a guy at the gym a couple of weeks ago.  He's an instructor and he gave me his card for lessons.  $100/hr.  I asked if that was a good price or not.  He said it was a great price if I ask around.

    get him something with a 5-PW.  standard flex shaft, standard lie and loft.  Get him 3 hybrid, Driver and a putter.  He needs golf shoes.  By 16 he is physically developed enough that a full swing will cause no-cleat shoes to slip.

     

    All in on clubs you can get that done for $300 or so and have something that will work for a very long time or until he gets the golf equipment bug.  Then sorry about your/his wallet

     

    Lessons.  There are a shit load of garbage golf "pro's" out there teaching nonsense.   Take your time and look around before signing on.

    Click the link in post above mine. I'm not your ChatGPT. 

     

     

    no offense intended.  didn't realize the link went to an actual article.

    I didn't get the "feeding on itself" context of the comment and was thinking more about the images of cows unable to walk and falling down that played on a loop anytime Mad Cow disease was discussed in MSM.

  7. I dislike amazon as much as the next guy, maybe even more.  That said, the "techspot" summary article is a huge simplification of a much larger wastewater issue in the area.  It basically regurgitates and attempts to amplify Amazons culpability in an issue that frankly they are a rounding error in.  But no one really gives a shit about well water and farmers but they do love to hate big tech(and rightfully so in many cases) so thats the hook I guess.   The Rolling Stone article is worth a read(its linked in the techspot summary).

    The good news, as I understand it, is nitrates are effectively removed from drinking water with Reverse Osmosis filtering which is a few hundred to few thousand dollars per house.  Of course thats not free, but not digging up every distribution pipe in the area type issue(Flint, MI)

    He ain’t building shit.  He’s going to get it entitled and then sell the entitled property.

    But when it gets built the entire thing will be sold unit by unit to Chinese nationals trying to get any wealth they can out of China
