Agree w this last. My 30-something niece is a very much non-motorhead. She raced them from about age 8-12. And had lots of fun and no injuries. As have tens of thousands of kids over the years. The lesser versions are powered by Briggs & Stratton 3- & 5-hp engines. The same engines that power traditional push-type power lawnmowers. ---

In order to average 32 mph, you’ll be going faster than that at the finish. If it were straight acceleration, the racer would be going 64 mph at the finish line. Most motor vehicle acceleration is not straight but tends to fall off toward the upper end. Even so, the racer would almost certainly be going closer to 60 than to 50 at the end of a run. ---

My Trump cultist friend isn’t in the news, but the price of eggs is. She posted a cartoon showing Joe Biden holding a hatchet, having just beheaded a chicken. The chopping block says ‘100 million chickens killed 2024.’ Biden says to Trump, ‘Good luck with the price of **eggs** ’. I reminded her that the only way to stop the spread of avian flu is to kill the birds. Here response: > why do we only kill the chickens to protect us from the deep state created bird flu 💩 💩 💩 Too bad there’s not a vaccine for Stupid. Only she wouldn’t take it. ---

I get the impression that she eats ‘healthy’ foods. But her page is too exhausting to look for her food preferences. Basically, if the FDA approves, she seems to be against it. Because… deep state. ---

Trump has replaced the deep state with the derp state, yes. ---

Here response: > > > why do we only kill the chickens to protect us from the deep state created bird flu 💩 💩 💩 Ya know, I understand how some conspiracies get started. “AIDS was manufactured to kill blacks. Or gays. Or Haitans.” Why would the deep state create a bird flu to drive up the cost of eggs? (then again, these are the same people who thought Hillary was running a child sex-trafficking ring out of the basement of a pizza parlor, so I don’t have to understand how the conspiracy got started, just know that there are people out there stupid enough to believe it.) ---

This isn’t hard people: - Anything good by MAGA standards that happens, it’s because trump did it, and he’ll loudly tell you so. Over and over. - Anything bad by MAGA standards happens, that’s all the fault of the deep state. And trump will make that excuse early and often. And loudly claim an intent to fix that … eventually. Then change the subject. Lather rinse repeat. ---

And loudly claim an intent to fix that … eventually. Then change the subject. I wasn’t going to continue posting about this stupid person’s post (there will be others), but I did reply to her before I made my initial post here: > Because there is no ‘deep state’, avian flu has been around forever and was not ‘created’ by anybody, and because we eat chickens and their eggs, turkeys, and ducks. Sparrows… not so much. Her reply: > not convinced 💩💩💩 Of course she isn’t. There’s never been a conspiracy theory she didn’t believe. OK, that’s not fair. She does believe Earth is a spheroid. But Deep State, Contrails, Pizzagate, Anti-Vax, Biden Crime Family, George Soros, Hillary Clinton… too many to name. She believes in all of them. (She also hates it when I quote scripture. I call her a CINO.) I don’t check her page often. I can’t take that much stupidity. But I do have to check on the opposition from time to time. ---

If the sum of her arguments are always three turd emojis, I would have long stopped communicating with that person. ---

Oh, her arguments often also include American flag and praying hands emojis. If I didn’t know her personally (met her once in the '80s) I wouldn’t have friended her. (She’s a relative-by-marriage of my best friend, and saw my name on his page.) Now, I keep her around just so I can watch the Schadenfreude when it happens. But again: our contacts are infrequent. I really should tell her to shut up, because as a female her opinions are invalid. 💩 ---
