Dude isn’t an actor. He was just an actual employee named Jake who did a commercial that got big.

It can be both.

I was watching a PBS documentary about the first humans in the Americas. All the scientists are super cool until you get to the American anthropologist who starts using phrenology to explain why Native American tribes shouldn’t be given repatriation rights, only for a Danish geneticist to say “yeah, this is absolutely a Native American and i am willing to testify to that in any court of law”

Pseudoscience is still all the rage if it can be used to push a political agenda.

Being a rural hick doesn’t make you southern. It’s only been the last 20-30 years that Midwest small towns have been trying to preteend that they are southern rednecks.

Theu don’t actually meet at a point, but suburbs in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut all feed into and support New York City. We do have a couple of “bi-state” areas like St. Louis, Kansas City, and Cincinnati. It’s the result of our cities rising into prominence after political boundaries were drawn up, whereas most major European cities had the modern political boundaries drawn up around them.

The only cotoes that i would really describe as “tri-state” are NYC, Washington (since the District of Columbia is a seperate entity than Maryland and Virginia) Philadelphia, and Chicago. Philadelphia is the only one of these where the 3 states actually meet at a single point though.

No online version of the painting can do it justice. The original at the rijksmuseum is absolutely massive with endless detail.

Not sure how Euros haven’t figured out that the main thing America inherited from Britain is our ability to not give a fuck what Continental Europeans think about us. Not sure why Euros keep thinking they can shame or guilt Brits and Americans into doing what they want.

You can tell by the way it lifts it’s skinny fists like antennas to heaven that it’s Godspeedyou nigrumperatorem

Even the rural college town my grandma grew up in had tram lines running down the main streets in the 30’s and to both colleges. If a city had more than 20,000 residents 100 years ago, they probably had a tram system that was pulled up at GM’s behest.

Spent a lot of summers with my grandma, her brother, and her sister growing up. The best day of Uncle Karl’s life was when he got hearing aids because he would just turn them off when my grandma and Aunt Millie started nagging him about something.

I mean, deer kill about 400 people a year in the US and they aren’t even trying. 280 million people live in the Delta alongside a predator that is actually trying to kill them, so it mkaes sense.

They are a single orifice kind of animal. Take a gulp of sea water, sift oit the goodies, and expel the rest

Sliding the deer under your car is also really bad for you. It’s going to do a lot of damage under there such as ripping break lines, destroying ball joints, or fragging your differentials. You need to safely shed as much speed as possible while maintaining your lane when about to hit a deer.

You absolutely need to hit the brakes, but don’t swerve. A deer weighs over 200lbs and will likely crash into your windshield if you hit it head on. You need to safely loose as much speed as you can because even a side hit on the deer is likely to wreck your axel and prevent you from driving.

Absolutely not true. No amount of speed is going to keep you safe if you strike an animal on a bike. You’re better off slowing down so that you have less momentum when you wreck. Drivers should be giving you enough space (even though they rarely do). A deer weighs more than a grown man and will kill you if you hit it at highway speed. A dog will take out your front wheel and cause you to wreck whether you hit it at 15mph or 80mph.

That would require a cop to do more than the bate minimum, so its just not gonna happen.

Not really since Korean politics has made the entire Seoul area a de facto hostage for peace. Estimates place the death toll for Seoul alone at about 100,000 in the first 48 if hostilities between the North and South broke out due to the volume of artillery currently pointed at the city.

Or have the most prestigious universities and most powerful companies.

Syntax is for nerds. I prefer a vibes based language.

People are also more isolated and dating has never been more difficult for average people. Intimacy has been destroyed in our modern world
