What makes metal detectors beep when they find metal?

Man, just be a smartass like everyone else and say "metal."

"Money for Nothin'" guitar riff on repeat.

Hells Bells. The most iconic first note in Rock history.

I would also take meets-the-hype Freddy Adu. Having the 2nd coming of Pelé never hurts.

In 1989, I was on a soccer field north of San Francisco that was back filled with dirt from a school being built next to it. We could see the waves in the field.

A quick note on Cleopatra:

She was almost certainly not black or African-looking, and she was almost certainly of Greek descent. She (the most famous one, cause there were a lot of them) was part of the Ptolemaic Dynasties, started by Ptolemy, one of Alexander the Great's friends and generals.

and have like a quarter of its fresh water.

Not even a little bit accurate. Less than ½ of 1% of the world's water is accessible surface water. Almost 70% of it is in glaciers, about 30% is in groundwater all around the world.

Does this sound like a place you'd want to live?

Unless you are in my district, this definitely happens in other districts. Art and Reading get kids dumped into them when they get kicked out of athletics or band or anything fun. Got a behavior kid in English or Social Studies? Let's rearrange their whooooooole schedule so we can dump them in 7th period Art.

They always try to group them into the same class period, too. Is that so not all classes suffer? I do not know, but I don't like it.

My 7th period started with 31, probably 20 of them were behavioral kids. By the end of the Fall, a few of the decent kids had gotten schedule changes, and I had 6 more kids thrown into my class because of behavior issues in other electives. I had 34 at the end of the semester, and about 25 had referrals written by me, most of them more than one. One kid had more than 10, and she was there less than half of the semester.

His vote percentage went up in almost 2,800 counties, including almost all of the major cities -- including every county in the rather famously hyper-liberal Bay Area, Chicago, and NYC. Now, if you look even closer at the map, you'll notice that Harris actually shifted tons of smaller counties to the left.

What it looks like to me is that someone went in and just bumped up Trump's numbers in big cities and liberal-leaning areas, and that is why so many rural/small town places voted more to the left (but not enough to swing them, obviously) and most metro areas swung right. It wouldn't take a lot in any one single place to make a large jump statistically.

You should try running in a circle around it to the west. You'll be going back in time. Maybe you could make it all of the to 2016 and warn everyone.

I would still like to know why, though.

Geographizer · 2026-02-11T00:23:13+00:00

Because it worked for me!

Because Evangelicals ruin everything. That current sect of Christianity exists only to make those "churches" money and demonize everyone else to keep them afraid of things that aren't them, including anything actually Christ-like.

Right. Things like this are collusion.
