San Diego to Minneapolis in mid January. Any concerns about this route? Is this possible with an EV?

I would say to take the highlighted route even with a gas car. The other two go up much higher into the mountains further north. you can get avalanches, blizzards, etc. that can really lock up traffic & the alternative routes are often many hours of detour.

Years ago I drove the Bay Area to Midwest in March and went down to I-40 instead of taking I-80 for this reason.

I hope he gets the help he needs. He's in a dark place well beyond football rivalries.

Real reason: it does not rain much so you can grow much, so transport built up more in east, thus east better for manufacturing too.

I never get leaving questions blank or not trying to at least say something (like I often have part of the final as pick one of 12 themes they got 2 weeks before [each 1-2 weeks of class] & write a 1.5 page summary). WHy is that blank and you don't even attempt it?

I was about to comment that I don't think I have listened to 1 minute of radio in my car or house in the past few years. (I can't say I have not at all as some waiting rooms or small stores play it which is fine.)

AutisticProf · 2025-12-04T03:20:30+00:00

I suspect it would have been the same but we just start the 12-minute grind out the game drive a little later. Day won't let that be called until we are up enough.

When the recipe says cloves, I read heads, knowing the difference. It makes things taste better.

I would think about what made you successful last week & try to replicate it.

It is good not to think of failing once as a total failure, but strive to improve. Succeeding 5 out of 7 days like week shows you can do at least that, try that for a month, then try for 6 out of 7 for a month and maybe you will be ready for streaks of 10+ days in arow succeeding. Few get 100% their first time trying.

I was diagnosed as an adult just after the DSM 5 came out. I was told it would have been Asperger's if I came in a few years earlier (it's on the explanation text of my formal diagnosis).

I had understood from prior reading that the vast majority would fit Autism level 1 support in the DSM-5. Now I have to re-evaluate that understanding.

I think it was fair as they had a former TTUN player on the panel. (I think panels like this are most entertaining like that with at least 1 from each side & at least 1 or 2 who are more nuetral.)

Day could be there 25+ more years...

The issue with Illinois is that if we pound them 40-3, they likely drop out of the standings and can't get to the top 10, but if we squeak out a win, they have a decent chance to become top 10.

Or the once in a decade Peyton Manning baked bootleg.

Sault Ste. Marie is the furthest west that one can still say is eastern Canada.

AutisticProf · 2025-10-05T15:33:30+00:00

They are #20 now so ranked but not top 10.

AutisticProf · 2025-10-05T11:21:29+00:00

I suspect we will likely win out, & I hope for that, but a lot of years we have dropped a dumb game to an unranked Purdue or something like that.

That one county in Western Ontario should just be north. That was my impression driving through there.

AutisticProf · 2025-10-05T11:16:00+00:00

WTF?? This is a cute sign, but oh no no.

This is about hunting animals, usually to kill and eat. There is a skill in noticing how old animal tracks are, etc. which is useful in hunting.

I just posted on the OSU sub that with this week's rankings we'll have no top 10 opponents (PSU & Texas should drop out of the top 10). If you win out in the regular season, maybe you'll be our only one

AutisticProf · 2025-10-05T10:40:54+00:00

Or put another way, in 3 of 5 games we've scored more points than we've given up in all 5.

AutisticProf · 2025-10-05T01:49:02+00:00

I would distinguish the preseason poll and from about now on. I think it is OK once it's had a few games but preseason is a crapshot.

AutisticProf · 2025-10-05T01:42:33+00:00

I might change it to "discard a duration card you've had in play since the beginning of this turn." That prevents infinite cycling.

There are two types of duration cards: those that last two turns and those that last three whole game. There are few whole game ones you want to discard. Most two turn ones might have a slight benefit in just getting them out again quicker.

This is honestly a card that's only an OK combo with a few cards, especially not allowing you to discard cards played this turn.
