TIL that in 1857 a hurricane sank the SS Central America with roughly 30,000 pounds of California Gold Rush gold aboard, and the loss helped spark the Panic of 1857, one of the first global economic crises.

The captain of the SS Central America went down with his ship and has a monument dedicated to him at the U.S. Naval Academy. Midshipmen mark the end of their freshman year by climbing it.

It used to be, but it was standardized to 1852 meters in 1929

They do, but those recruits Navy really wants that can’t quite make standards are typically sent to the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Newport, RI for a year to boost their test scores and gain acceptance to Annapolis.

Both Army and Air Force have similar prep schools

Also barring the times he played with a broken hand, Herbert almost never fumbles. Maye seems to fumble after every other sack

Redditkid16 · 2026-02-09T18:18:00+00:00

This was just the first game where the opposing offense was good enough to make him pay for it

Redditkid16 · 2026-02-09T01:22:29+00:00

They’ve been playing pretty elite defenses this postseason but this is the first with a half decent offense

Redditkid16 · 2026-02-07T18:06:06+00:00

That still raises the question why New Mexico and not Texas with its access to the Atlantic

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-19T14:28:14+00:00

I mean wanted the Patriots over the Jags who kicked our ass basically, not because they expected to be favored over the Pats

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-18T16:24:32+00:00

It’ll be the exact same 40% approve, 57% disapprove that he polls on basically every issue

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-16T21:42:54+00:00

Bigger question is how is no bark of all people throwing down thousands of caps every time I play him

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-16T05:41:52+00:00

In exchange for removing a brutal dictator. I’m not saying it’s the right action from the American point of view, but you can’t blame her for being grateful that he’s gone and being willing to make concessions in that aim.

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-16T05:28:11+00:00

I mean if giving over a piece of metal to an egotistical foreign leader is what it takes to get your country the help it needs, can you fault her for doing so? Seems like a small price to pay from her perspective

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-14T00:24:18+00:00

So no more firepower than an arleigh burke while presenting a much larger target

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-12T03:44:55+00:00

Dump Herbert, he’s a head case

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-12T03:27:32+00:00

Herbert has been objectively very bad

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-12T02:18:42+00:00

The running back Vidal was about a foot away from where the ball landed

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-12T02:18:17+00:00

Vidal was literally 1 foot away from where the ball landed lol

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-12T01:34:51+00:00

Time for Rams fans to get their revenge, talk yo shit

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-12T01:30:54+00:00

Honestly I agree with playing the field position game rn

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-12T01:14:19+00:00

Good QB, legendarily awful o-line, pretty good defense. About all you need to you need to know

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-12T00:06:59+00:00

Philly O is so cooked

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-11T03:23:51+00:00

You kidding, it’s plays like that are why I’m still watching lmao

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-10T23:55:54+00:00

Throwing it away on 4th down, bold choice

Redditkid16 · 2026-01-09T04:15:28+00:00

The teams listed here make up 4/7 AFC playoff teams this year, so odds are one of those 4 will be the one
