    Great point. I didn't think about that. I was just focusing on the mob mentality aspect that voting can take on but I guess that doesn't matter if it's visible at some point either way.

    Just picked up Azul a few weeks ago and have played with only 3 and 4 people, never 2. I think it's a very good, casual game and way easier than it looks. There are some "chess elements" to it where you're trying to think 3-4 moves ahead, but it's really relaxed. Highly recommend for all types of game groups.

    I think it's a couple of the things you touched on but I never really like how people knock Americans for having short attention spans. There's so much going on in our country, let alone the entire world, that it's difficult to hammer one story for what would be the better part of 2 years now. I don't think an attention span can be blamed when there's literally breaking news every week now. Is it a major issue? Yes. Is it absolutely absurd how it's not resolved? Double yes. What can the average person be expected to do with everything else that's going on? I feel like it's more of a "pick your battles" and Americans right now are picking the major political dissonance instead of Flint's water crisis. I think a lot of us just feel helpless in the grand scheme of things.

    Live in Portland and I moved here right before it became legal. Oregon collected something like $80 million in taxes in its first year of legalization. Money that can now be used for better roads, school funding, police force, etc. It only has had a positive impact on the city, from what I've realized. I may be biased as I am a frequent user but I think turning this HEAVILY used product from a crime into a profit maker can only be seen as a huge benefit.

    Already have shoes but I was really wondering if there's a difference in harnesses, since that seems like it's going to be my next purchase now that I'm getting into top rope.

    Also, what's the difference between an ATC and a Grigri? My gym already has grigris at each route so It's not really necessary but I am moving soon and I hear that some gyms you have to bring your own.

    I'm just getting into bouldering / top roping and need to start my gear hunt. What do you recommend? What things do you stay away from? Right now I'm just climbing indoors with no real plans to go outdoors yet.
