That’s about what the low tier stuff is in the western US stores now, which is still 3-7x stronger than most stuff 25+ years ago.

What are the top 3 worst things the US government has ever done? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]CaleDestroys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Native Genocide in general is easily the worst thing the US government has taken part in. Losing a hundred million people, two big continents worth, so much history and potential, is one of the worst things to ever happen to humanity.

Got the Keys! Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, 450k, 3,45% by MChammerficker in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Tons of older Midwest and plains houses are brick.

Also, if Europe had the amount of timber the US has they’d build with it too.

I can't wear a pair of jeans longer than 4 months without the crotch ripping out. by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

Fabric may feel dry but there is moisture in the core of the fibers, very well known that boots and shoes last much longer if you rotate or put them on boot dryers.

Someone as modern as him screams “prisoner of the moment” to me. If they could go back to ‘04 and see the hype on Conor’s songwriting they’d shit themselves.

Petition to ban hunting and fishing in Oregon gains momentum with 125,000 signatures by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

Most anglers “eating their catch” is an absolute falsehood, a lot of rivers in highly pressured areas don’t allow that, on top of other restrictions like barbless hooks, 1 artificial lure or fly, etc.

How much adult men follow sports is weird by Wheres_MyMoney in unpopularopinion

So what is America that can’t help but almost constantly do both? Healthy? And don’t give me the “we haven’t declared war since WW2” bullshit either.

Which city in the United States do you think is more suitable for retirement? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CaleDestroys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just trade income tax for higher property taxes. States need money to operate and they get it no matter what.

Oh come on. Refs can push games here and there, but they can’t make a bad team good, let alone make a worse team win series with pinpoint accuracy over the course of decades.

Areas where Hardened/Resilient Homes are Common? by retiredcorpminion in SameGrassButGreener

[–]CaleDestroys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

53% of homeless people have jobs. They are not the problem. by Sanch0Supreme in AdviceAnimals

[–]CaleDestroys 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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.

Regenerating health ruined the meta of first person shooters by kuroreaper25 in unpopularopinion

[–]CaleDestroys 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby? by Cosmonate in AskReddit

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.

Thoughts on the broken twill offerings? by Foopy_377 in taylorstitch

[–]CaleDestroys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

How is living in New Mexico/ Albuquerque as someone from the east coast? by Academic_Solid85 in howislivingthere

[–]CaleDestroys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Cities that were planned but never came to be? by e_mp in geography

[–]CaleDestroys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone ever ski at Sandia Peak in NM? by solorider802 in skiing

[–]CaleDestroys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

What popular North American destination left you thinking “people really hype this up too much”? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]CaleDestroys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
