But then those athletes go down to sea level for a competition and have an advantage

Oh yeah, it near perfectly captures where the mountains are. The green areas are mountains and cities. NH is interesting, the darkest part is where the ski areas are, the lighter part is the more populated area.

Today I learned….

Haha. What’s interesting is there’s other high country in the US but it’s not green in this map. Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho…

And with the exception of vermont and a small part of NY, most of the yellow in the northeast is low lying areas not very high above sea level. California has mountains too.

High elevation makes the body work harder because there’s less oxygen. Elite athletes train in the high country for the effects.

When a large quantity of snow falls it gets cleared with huge plow trucks and heavy machinery, sometimes huge plows attached to the heavy machinery. Think enormous front loaders and stuff. Some places will load it into dump trucks and dump it into a body of water.

I live in VT and the most I’ve seen at once was 40” or so. But here it’s usually elevation dependent and the cities are in low valleys where they’ll get a few inches and the mountains 30 minutes up the road will get two feet.

As a snowboarder I think you’re asking the real questions here. If only my local could add 10k feet to it…

Omg remember the sometimes passive aggressive too cool for school away messages on AIM

Guess I’m ditching phone and returning to monkey

Get what you pay for. The minimum wage is still 7.25 federally. I can’t believe employers just choose not to pay livable wages.

Lose me with this “nobody wants to work anymore” bullshit. Nobody wants to pay anymore.

What, the handful of randoms on the left that hold zero power politically or socially? The couple of weirdo loners? Where’s the evidence?!

Let’s compare and contrast with the trump fueled “Jews will not replace us” white nationalist march in Charlottesville 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 or how about the more recent nazi march in Springfield 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Enlightened centrists are just right wing grifters out of touch with reality.

You’re arguing enlightened centrism, which is completely false.

The far right has a substantial amount of people who hate Jews.

The far left had a substantial amount of people who hate Israel and zionists.

They are not the same.

But you say the “far left” “hates” Jews.

The far left hates Israel. The far left hates zionists. The far left does not hate jews.

Meanwhile the far right are literally Nazis marching around with swastikas.

But yeah they’re totally the same 🙄 you’re really great at playing dumb.

The average Twitter user is a bot let’s be honest.

It’s about manufacturing consent, and to musk, it’s chump change. What you would spend on a pricey hobby is what he’s doing at his level.

Also not just an election but society itself.

Is holding israel accountable for its genocide “hatred of Jews”?

Seems like you were using antisemitism as shorthand for antizionism

Great number choice haha. The fascists love the number 88!

It really goes to show how fucking nuts these billionaires are. They could fucking relax for the rest of their lives in luxury but that’s not enough for them.

Money is just a symbol for power. There’s never enough for these ghouls.

Unless you’re referring to anti Zionist Jews. NO.

You know the Palestinians, who are currently being genocided with American weapons and money, are semites right?

Lemmy is definitely not an echo chamber. As a leftist there’s a ton of liberal simp vooooooote blue no matter who bullshit, followed by blaming everyone but their shitty ass candidate and even shittier ass party for the loss.

The right wing in contrast is in unison lining up to fellate trumps little mushroom.

He could do absolutely nothing but sit on the beach for the rest of his life and he’d be making more money off interest than we make in a lifetime
