Continuing Thread on #HammockCamping

I had to discover this on my own, wish somebody had told me... 🤷‍♂️

The general instruction you'll see repeated everywhere is hang your hammock with with the straps at a 30° angle. This is generally true but misses a few subtle points. First, you don't really need to think about the angle if you have a ridge line. Pull the ridge line tight and you're there! Second, a gathered-end hammock should be pitched with the foot slightly higher than the head. If you don't do this you will probably slide down to the foot of the hammock while you sleep.

What is the difference between honest ignorance (which we all have on any number of topics, and if we're humble, we learn) and prideful ignorance ("I know everything already, shut up")?

This man

He came to the #Wisconsin state legislature to speak against #genderAffirmingCare. Instead, after listening to testimony, he apologized and said he learned a lot

On #socialMedia we are drowning in #bigotry

But, sometimes, you can educate those who will listen

BREAKING: #Milwaukee is going to recount every absentee ballot that had been counted because of this issue. They had already tabulated 30,000 ballots.

The count will go very late

1h ago:
🧵Just before 2 p.m., an election observer noticed a panel on tabulators in Milwaukee's central count weren't properly closed. The panel that wasn't closed contains tabulators' on/off switches. They were supposed to have been locked in the morning

Door County, Wisconsin, October 2024

We have 6 acres of land up in Door County, which is the peninsula that sticks into Lake Michigan. It's always 10 degrees cooler there than in Green Bay, where we live. So we think of it as our future climate refuge. Someday we'll build a cottage there, or drag up some kind of prefab something. But it's gorgeous in fall.

Gov. #Walz in #Wisconsin:

#Trump and #JDVance "know how to manufacture bullshit, and they prove it every single day."

"There's a reason unions across this country have endorsed Kamala #Harris … Donald Trump's a scab."

Elon #Musk "thinks your jobs are a joke. That's why I called him a dipshit and I stand by it."

"“She wants to get rid of your #cows. No more cows,” #Trump warned an audience in #Georgia.

The steaks could not be higher in this #election.

...according to Trump, Harris is also planning to ban windows.

“They want buildings taken down and new buildings built without windows,” Trump informed his followers in #Wisconsin."

Battle Over #Ballot Drop Boxes Rages On in #Wisconsin as Officials Put Them at Center of #Election Integrity Debate
—

Ballot drop boxes have morphed into vessels for emotion, suspicion and conspiracy theories. In Wisconsin, their mere presence has inspired community leaders to reject them or call on people to watch them 24/7. A mayor even hijacked one.

Just spent 2 weeks holiday in the midwest USA (Chicago & Wisconsin Dells). Some impressions:
* Chicago is one of the most friendly big cities.
* The state dish of southern Wisconsin is Various Shades of Brown. If your plate has something green, it is likely a slice of pickled cucumber.
* The area has french-fried potatoes _on lock_. Everywhere, every style, from small diners to gyros shops, the taters were perfect.
