The Distract me from 2020s P&CE Thread Part Deux

NYC tapwater kicks it up at least two levels.

 

Supposedly the best place to get diamonds, if you're in the market.

 

I had not seen these. there are several, and they're hilarious.

 

I lived in Madison way, way, way back in the day. I am in Madison fairly regularly these (although not as much as I'd like. There is an academic position that just popped up at the program like mine in Madison. It would be a great job).
Austin is the only place in Texas I have been in that was not godawful-Houston, Dallas and Rio Grande Valley all suck royally.
I was in Missoula last summer, but just for the day. It is a very nice looking small city.

 

My wife was offered a job at a non UT college in Austin.

We took the one in Scranton instead.

 

Houston is wayyyyyyy to Sprawly for most people... though my sister-in-law and her family lived in the one neighborhood in the city that is pleasantly walkable. Can't remember it's name, but it was around Rice University. But other than that, you pretty much needed to drive anyplace more than a few blocks away due to the absence of sidewalks and the amount of traffic.

 

And Texas weather truly sucks.

 

Fixed your post

 

There's also a lot less people whose accents make them sound as if they were in a gory bumfight with a dipthong.

 

My only experience in Houston was at IAH a few months ago returning from Mexico. All I can say is that Houston is hell with humidity and that as from the time I spent in the boarding bridge and the time spent on the ground in the plane that even the pilot acknowledged it.

 

fewer.
By the way, this is one heck of a sentence.

 

Fourth?
Wait, other than the US Navy and the Village People "In the Navy," what was the OTHER strongest Navy?!?

 

If you do go there, avoid this place if you are with a significant other!

 

Elbonia comes to mind...

When Elbonia split into two (North & South) both factions needed a navy to contest local waterways (deeper mud pools).
The PT-76 tank was the perfect solution as naval power: it floated.
Removal of the turret reduced weight, as did removal of the engine - cf paying for crew or fuel - sails were fitted to the snorkel to provide motive power.
There were few problems with removal of the turret since the vehicles vessels were crewed by sailors, and colourful language became the weapon of choice 1, with hand-thrown potatoes (calibre irrelevant) used when the range (and wind) made shouted insults impractical.

1There are, however, a number of outstanding "war crimes" suits pending: some crews resorted to insulting their opponents' pigs.

 

Caitlin Clark is the best player in college ball. Male or female.

And I don't think it's particularly close.
