In Houston, some days there isn’t a cloud in the sky, then it rains like 2 inches over 30 minutes and then it goes back to clear skies and the water evaporates making the air sticky. Goes from perfect to drenched to perfect to a totally different kind of drenched in an hour’s time. Also the drivers all lose their minds when the weather changes. So all the time… I guess.

Excellent food and a good cultural mix of people. Melting pot of America for sure. Awful heat though. I left there years ago. Though I return to visit old friends.

Holy shit you are pinning my exact experience. I grew up in Fresno CA and have never even seen a red pistachio in my life.

I just don’t believe that at all. The power the US holds has long faded into a shadow of its former self. I’m not even sure Trump could convince BB of the best breakfast spot in manhattan. Regardless of what the POTUS wants to happen in the Middle East, the Middle East will continue to do its thing.

Left-hand side is like saying your left, not mine. You could also say on your left but then again, English has lots of ways to say lots of things.

This is just not true… Tuna fish is the stuff in a can. Tuna filet is a filet of tuna. Tuna is the live or freshly caught fish from the ocean. Anything not actually made of tuna is imitation tuna or tuna flavored or artificial tuna.

But also, what’s wrong with having any of those things? I’d argue it’s better to have those things with less developer crunch. We don’t need children to form “attachments” to video game franchises. That just breeds loyalty to corporations. We need games that are developed with love and care by developers who treat their employees and customers humanely. Whatever that looks like, we want that.

It’s not a foreign language in English speaking countries…

Frys electronics is a good bet too they’re a more recent shutdown that might be more relevant than a blockbuster or toys r us

I’m sorry but, the 80s were more than a couple of decades ago. 1986 was 40 years ago.

Also 20 years ago this was still an issue. Plasma screen TVs were becoming accessible to consumers and surround sound was taking off in the home video space. TV was mixed for surround cinematic but not everyone had a surround setup yet. They had to write laws that said the tv commercials couldn’t be louder than the main content of the channel (though these laws were largely unenforced).

It also does not explicitly mean they are fucking… IVF is pretty common.

No the average is much much higher than 10 out of 10 all because of Caleb.

Your mom told me last night that she wishes you would call her more.

Trump wants a war though. It’s how he intends to stay in power. He either becomes a god emperor or takes the country down with him.

Lenses distort features at different focal lengths without any filtering. An extreme example is fish eye lenses on action cameras.

Your source says the same thing I said… The word soccer comes from abbreviating “association”. As in association football.

That’s not true… Soccer is what some of the english called it and that was an abbreviation of association football. It has always been football and for a short time in one place it was soccer in england and then it was football again everywhere. It came to the US as soccer and never changed. But it was always football.

Well God forbid anyone do anything other than the way the British do it. 🙄

Speaking that date format is usually reserved for holidays and special occasions in the US. I.e. 4th of July. You also see that data format written out on things like R.S.V.P invitations to weddings and formal gatherings. Not much else.

Want some help? It’s intuitive to say month date year out loud. So that’s how we write it down too. Today is November 24th 2025 (11/24/25)

Here’s another point about the US date system I quite enjoy, the number go in order of lowest maximum integer to greatest maximum integer. The highest the month can go is 12 which is smaller than 31 which is smaller than theoretically infinite. But that’s probably not why we do it. I just like that thought.
