I’m fricking telling you right now that we are gun loving patriots.

I'm glad there are people with guns there, especially the baw who put an end to this.


That being said, there are probably more guns in my truck than the average person in Bend owns in total.

because you never know what might happen. her boyfriend might walk up and sucker punch you and you crack your skull. she might stab you. her friend might shoot you. even if it's a .01% chance of something like that happening, is it worth risking it for a couple minutes of delay?

it's like provoking a wild animal. chances are very, very high that it will run away. but why risk it?

Are you stupid? They aren’t even supposed to be charging for it.

Sure, they can eventually fix the problem when the customer jumps through hoops to correct it. But that is time consuming and shouldn’t have to happen in the first place. Just because something can be fixed doesn’t mean it isn’t a gigantic pain in the arse to have to get it fixed.

Are you stupid? It's pretty obvious that whoever he is buying from that is shipping through FedEx, or he himself if he is arranging the shipping through them, is not marking the shipments DDP.


ETA: or that the waybill and ipmort paperwork is being improperly filled out. That's who OP should be looking at, not FedEx.

Sounds like having it corrected is free if it is their fault. What's the issue again?

Why not? Will you be driving again?

Yes I will. I will also have control of my car. The ability to read other cars and take evasive action if necessary. Multiple safety points and systems to proctect me. Not just a lap bar that counts on my knees or hips not being flexible enough to eject me, which is what the ride wants you to feel.


Also, driving is damn near a neccessity. Riding a poorly designed, maintained, or operated roller coaster isn't.

It may have been a size issue, but at the point in the ride where it happened, it is a much more mild section than the first 2 drops and the negative g's that follow them when you crest the hills. I am leaning more towards mechnical failure, which is more scary

Opponent selection is incredibly stupid. You’re giving the chosen opponent an emotional edge.

I think it adds a level of strategy. Who is hot/cold, who has burned up a lot of pitching recently, etc

I got to walk the floor of it in 2018. It was super laid back, most of the "traders" were watching sports.


Would have loved the chance to do that before algos took over
