Elliptical is a safe choice, too. I actually prefer that to the treadmills.

My favorite weather site is AccuWeather because it has portions of the word "accurate" in it. That implies accuracy.

when you see your local weather man say there is a 60% chance of it raining what that actually means is 60% of the viewing audience will see rain

WTF does this even mean? If you don’t see it, it’s not raining? That’s like that dumbass Trump logic of the only reason so many people have Covid is because we’re testing so many people. If you don’t test, you won’t have Covid.

for instance

our local tv station covers 8 counties

there is a 50% chance of rain for the day

50% of the people in those 8 counties will see rain
