minus-squarehector@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down27·5 months agoDon’t let a handful of half wits convince you your comment isn’t dumb and pointless. Regardless of your worthless contribution here, my point is living 500 miles away from something isn’t all that close. At least 500.
minus-squarehector@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down3·5 months agoBetween Ohio and Minnesota is a lot more than a 6 hour trip however far it is, and 6 hours at 70 is 400 miles.
