OT: The Thread About Nothing

[JimEIV]

If I were you, I’d start sending out resumes.

If I were to lose my job I don't think I would want to do what I am currently doing anymore.

And there'd be nothing stopping you from moving to MT, ID, UT, CO, or WY, someplace with killer trout fishing.

i feel like living in wyoming is the last vestige of the wild west.

like literally most of that state is *nothing* but vast wilderness.

me, you would think after hiking at ramapo reservation since early high school i wouldn't need my gps anymore up there. lol no.

Montana and Idaho ain't too bad either.

Edit:
I used to drive from highschool and fish the wooden bridge in Rampoo Reservation almost everyday...sometimes the Pompton by the falls.

Wyoming may be my favorite state I've ever been to. I love that place.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Just looked at the live radar, and Panama City is in the worst stop imaginable.

I've looked into Wyoming's ski country, but unfortunately it's some of the most expensive real estate in America.

Storm chaser got his dumb ass caught in storm surge and had to abandon his truck.

Yeah I was watching that live... He took shelter in a house and is doing alright so far. His truck is a goner though, it started floating away

Jackson is outrageously expensive

Needlessly risky move driving that far in. Very lucky if he gets out of this alright.

Storm surge is no joke.

reaaally hope they don’t evacuate here in bama. i doubt they do but i’m not really paying attention

My friend lives in middle-of-nowhere Oklahoma, over an hour away from both Tulsa and OKC. It’s amazing just how much nothingness there is in this country, we’re just not used to it because we’re (mostly) in the Northeast.

I have always found it interesting, to me a bit strange, what so many from here considering nothingness.

I am not picking a fight or trying to change your mind, most of family and friends believe the same. But I see it entirely different. The nothingness is more alive and exciting than any city... again not trying to change any minds... I like that most people don't go to these places...but man I wish I could possibly articulate what is out there...life and death the like of which Hollywood could only dream of portraying. Wild places are magical once you get to know them...and personally I think to not know them is a hole in the soul.

That can't bode well for an insurance claim, contributory negligence and all

I mean they'll total it either way but yeah

Depends where in Alabama. Eye looks like it will pass into SW Georgia, and keep Alabama to the west. Still will get rough conditions in the sourthern portions of the state.

I like how everyone made fun of the iPhone X’s notch, and now all these new Android phones have notches.

It’s Headphone Jack Removal 2.0.

Do we have minor hurricanes anymore, or is everything a Category 4 or 5 storm from hell?

hah, sandy was a cat 1 when it made landfall in jersey.

all hurricanes are bad.

That would definitely be a silver lining if I were ever to get fired.

Although it wouldn't be trout fishing, but those area's sound about right.

Sandy was a combination of a hurricane and a couple of other weird storms. That’s why you still hear it called “Superstorm Sandy.”

That being said, a Category 1 is less likely to be catastrophic than a Category 4.

ya basically a frankenstein between a hurricane and classic nor'easter

How far out do you have to go before it get's cheap?

This was about 10 years ago but I remember driving through some eerily run down towns in Wyoming.

I mostly agree except for the city part. A proper city has an energy to it that almost can't be described. It gets old, but so do the woods. Maybe I'm just too add to settle on one or the other. Reasonably quick access and residences in both is ideal to me.

my 24-year-old opinion may be underdeveloped, but this is why i'm a jersey snob.

find me another place in america where you're basically equidistant from the center of a world city, the beach, the forest, farmland, and lakes, with four distinct seasons.
