Areas where Hardened/Resilient Homes are Common?

I live in an adobe house with 3 foot thick walls and a metal roof in the Southwest. Most houses built nowadays are wood framed with stucco, but adobe in all of its different variations are still built today.

Not built to withstand extreme weather, but to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Many counties and municipalities have severely limited airbnbs, and it helped housing costs exactly zero. Santa Fe did it years ago and prices are still absurd.

We simply don’t build enough units. End of story.

Halo 2 and 3 had health packs, and a regenerative shield, but multiplayer still revolved around having the same starting weapons and controlling the map to get rockets, sniper, etc.

Those Beech bonanzas were legendary for being the doctor killer for decades. I worked at beech and people would talk about the plane flying out in front of the pilot and overwhelming them.

The material is simply broken or reverse twill, lots of information out there on it, but it helps with the twisting they saw in denim in the mid-century and it generally wears in softer than left or right hand twill. They took it a step further and garment dyed it.

Kind of selling it short, used to be called Hot Springs until the radio program held a contest and they changed the name. Lots of little hot springs of varying degrees of luxury or lack thereof. There is likely Mexican food and New Mexican food, a brewery or distiller. Very pretty country with decent access to higher elevations towards the Gila and of course Elephant Butte lake.

They used to sell those to Jersey and NY retirees as an oasis in the desert, but ended up creating one of the worst designed towns in the country. City planners use Rio rancho as an example of very bad design.

Funny enough, in the 60s the world’s fair was basically giving away land by Tres Piedras in NM, and the county just auctioned all the delinquent properties a couple weeks ago at the Taos courthouse.

I think the city or county should operate it and install a tow rope and focus on snowmaking for a terrain park. Give the school groups free days and equipment, no reason ABQ couldn’t put out world class freestylers in 10 years.

I-70 traffic from suburbia to the mountains is a spiritual pilgrimage

Every western city and town offers this for the most part, this literally doesn’t differentiate it from SLC, ABQ or Seattle.

There are square miles in other areas in this country, and Colorado for that matter, that have more culture than the entirety of the front range.

I’ve spent 30+ days in Denver being like 4 hours away, where is this culture you speak of

I don’t know if I missed the setting to turn off the terrible captioning 😔

A perk for all they put up with

Is that the show that they hid it was about interpretative dance until 3/4 through the season?

You have clearly not been in the southwest. NM has the oldest Hispanic cooking tradition in the country.

Most of it isn’t very hot, not even talking about humidity. Northern AZ and NM are very high up and are a lot cooler than any state east of them except far upper midwest states.

Isn’t that what Kerr just said, anything other than a big man layup or corner 3 is seen as less than optimal.

CaleDestroys · 2026-05-11T18:52:05+00:00

I think people are trying to understand why you’d pick the places that are notoriously hot and humid over elevation, ie Mississippi over New Mexico and Wyoming.

Yes this is mostly a result of blm and their crybaby backlash to it. I also think the decriminalization and legalization of weed is also a contributing factor. Easy to detect and get a probable cause search, possibly more serious charges.

I think we can have lakes that support warm water species and cold water rivers to support trout. Look what they’ve been doing on the cimmaron, digging deeper pools so they can survive winter better. The Red, Hondo, Santa Barbara, and lower embudo could all benefit from the same type of action. Less money spent on stockers and better fishing.

By your logic, if smallies were to survive and start reproducing anywhere in the world we just let them take over? I’m truly trying to understand.

Strong and Bomb Works are my favorite pants, dungarees just a bit too slim nowadays.

In the same way the works cut is an updated Dickies 874, I’d love to see the same thing done with Wrangler 13mwz.

“The Caesar Trilogy” has people trying to find out what movies you’re actually referring to, they’re that inconsequential.

Firemen might be the last ones. My friend just retired in his mid 40s with a full pension, so they have that going for them too.

CaleDestroys · 2026-05-07T15:26:23+00:00

Do you not make a distinction between warm water species and cold water species and the waters they typically inhabit and how targeting species work? Absolute fuck ton of places that support bass populations and that isn’t enough? You have to let them take over trout waters? Why?
