Yesterday, the Senate rejected a House-passed resolution calling for an end to the war with Iran by a 49–50 vote. The 50 votes against came from 49 Republican senators and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.

Has anybody in here used the REI house brand Alpha fleece?

I sweat a lot and I play hard especially in winter. I've heard a lot of good things about this fabric but have never had a chance to use it. I'm using The North Face FutureFleece currently for a highly breathable warm layer. I'm interested in this and I'd love to hear some feedback before I pull the trigger. Ski season typically starts in December so I'm not in a hurry.

Bernie Sanders proposes 20 year prison sentence for AI devs who plow ahead with Artificial Superintelligence plans — penalty on par with illegally developing rogue nuclear weapons

I'm curious how other Democrats feel about this. It's an important issue, but this has no chance of passing, and moreover this is a global question.

Fetterman has got to be the first rat in history to jump onto a sinking ship.

He was elected as a Democrat, and some brain damage turned him into a full throated MAGA cultist, praising Trump. What a terrible bait and switch for his constituents!

Everybody has problems. REI has solutions, too.

I'm an aging backcountry skier, so I bought the new Garmin watch with InReach built in. I've had a number of times where being able to send a "I'm late but safe" message out would have meant more skiing and more domestic peace.

OnTrac delivered it at about 8 pm last night. With scratches and scuffs on the watch, like it's been through some trauma. I want it to last years, and don't trust this. I bought it as new.

REI doesn't have a replacement in stock. I sold my Fenix 5 to help fund this and the guy wants to pick it up.

I asked politely. REI is shipping me a replacement unit to their store, it will be here in 6 days. They're letting me keep the damaged watch for 6 days, and exchange it when that becomes possible to keep everybody from waiting.

REI stepped up for their customer. I had some Amazon gift cards and it would have cost less out of pocket to buy from them, but I felt like REI was more trustworthy, and then they proved they are.

I wanted to share. This is why I shop with REI. Problems are rare, but they stand behind their customer.
