The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Republicans don't understand that word, and so ignore it until it fail

Yeah. That explains California, who, despite having access to billions of gallons of water every year, can't figure out what a reservoir does. Oh, wait - Republicans haven't run that state in a long time.

It will be interesting (and remarkable) if they actually evacuate Tehran. I doubt that will happen.

They're making plans to move the seat of government someplace they can actually deliver water to.

And to buttress the point about neglecting infrastructure:

For instance, the Alborz mountain range, within easy reach of the Iranian capital, Tehran, hosts some of the world’s most captivating ski resorts: Dizin, Tochal, Shemshak, and Darbandsar.

Huh. 3 ski resorts and ~10,000ft of elevation implies snow.

Surpassing heights of 3963 meters, Tochal proudly claims its spot as the fifth-highest resort globally, ensuring an extended ski season from December to April, sometimes stretching into June.

Despite Iran’s reputation for warm weather, these resorts boast a winter season that extends from November to May, thanks to their lofty altitudes. The terrain caters to skiers of all levels, from beginners to seasoned veterans, providing ample opportunities for thrilling descents and backcountry exploration.
