I’m from Missouri originally and my family all like it. I don’t listen to Texans as a general rule, but especially never about chili or barbecue. They are ao stuck in their ways and refuse to entertain any variation of what they are used to

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

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.

No Cincinnati chili parlors hhave ever officially added chocolate, but it is common with homemade Cincinnati chili.

It’s got beans of you order a 5-way like a real man

Cincinnati chili comes from Greek and immigrants fleeing the Balkan wars of the 1920’s. they got off the boat in New York and saw everyone eating Coney dogs and New York style spaghetti.They then get to Ohio and figure that’s what Americans like to eat, so they made a sauce using Mediterranean ingredients and flavors that they were familiar with. If they had called it anything other than chili, it would be widely regarded as Cincinnati’s greatest contribution to American cuisine.

Why? So people won’t send something to an address known to be a scam?

I’m happy to colonize the intestines of anyone who needs it. Just let me know

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.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. New Horizons actually went way faster than the Voyager probes, getting to Pluto in only 9.5 years. It took Voyager 2 just slightly longer than 12 years to reach Neptune for comparison. The planetary alignment you are thinking about was due to relative proximity. Obviously you can’t use Saturn to slingshot you to Uranus if they are on opposite sides of the solar system. All the outer planets were going to be on the same side of the solar system, allowing the Voyager probes to visit them all in succession.

Department of Energy. The main role is to handle the radioactive materials that the government creates and uses

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.

Typically people take the cash value on prizes like that. Because not inly do you have to figure out what to do with what you won, you also have to pay taxes on the value of it.

Or have the most prestigious universities and most powerful companies.

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

Believe it or not, Birmingham Alabama gets about twice as much rainfall a year than the original in the Midlands. Gulf coast states have the highest average precipitation in the US if you exclude Central and West Texas

Real talk, the best fried chicken i ever had was at a run down gas station on I-20 somewhere between Newton and Jackson. Maybe ot was the 20 hours i had already spent in the car leading up to that, but it was absolutely incredible.

I rememeber people talking about 2 Girls 1 cup im the gym locker in middle school. 3 guys one hammer was a straight up sniff film that made the rounds of all the forums back in 2009. It reached a point where Lemon Party was mild enough to be referenced on a TV show.
