Does that look flat to you?
Yes. I don't have one of those hipster curved screens.

K12 and Crash_It join forces against the naysayers of Illinois?

No scale posted. As far as I'm concerned, the difference between dark green and orange is a foot and a half.

There's some parallel to my old dog coming up to me, demanding that I scratch her head and this thread.

Can we now expect the following from K12?

-  Reviews of Illinois library architecture and how it is superior to Wisconsin.
-  Reviews of Mexican food restaurants found in Illinois.
-  Wallethub articles with cherry-picked data which skew a favorable narrative of Illinois over other Midwestern rivals.
-  Nominal road rage cammer videos.

The difference between the highest and lowest points in Illinois is 956 feet. The great circle distance between those points is 451 miles.

arctan(956/(451*5280)) = 0.023°.

So Illinois has a 0.023° grade. Better do a brake check.

Have you ever been to Illinois?

Not often, but I do know that Illinois has many rivers, including the Mississippi, and rivers can only flow if there's a difference in elevation.

That's not what people mean when they say Illinois is flat.  And I think you know that, and are simply seeking attention.

He's salty about Alex and company not providing him a free forum for several days.

Hell yeah, I missed that time of the forum when a raging transphobe was trolling us everyday.

Can you blame him? He has a lot of important ideas to share but had no place to share them.

I think his 40-19 relationship was worse. Given that the transphobia got him banned (and nobody expected it beforehand since he was a Democrat), he had less than a day to express those views.

That's true.  Where else can one obtain so much news on 150 MPH AI Cars, Arctic Island Gulags and Helicopter Graphing Hooks.

If it makes you feel better he was mercilessly counter trolled on his own Facebook page for at least a solid year after.

He never produced any actual evidence his "girlfriend" was even real.  The guy didn't strike me as being someone the ladies would find hip.

Maybe he can post them on that soccer forum that a certain banned user from Finland frequents.

A capital idea.  The two of them can collaborate on bringing the CyberGulag and Robo Sault Sainte John Madden to market.

Especially one in a Chevy Cruze.  Let's not forget dude was driving around in one of those until someone from Florida took it out in a Kmart parking lot.

Yeah, transphobia doesn't care about party lines.
