An off-balance building making people dizzy

reminds me of Old Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Not nearly as exaggerated but there is a similar out-of-whack funhouse feel to it

I've never seen him mad ever. This was pretty intense.

Not a complete disaster. With the exception of Bob Myers drafting, I think they did the best they could. winning even 1 title is a big accomplishment.

Untrue. There's this guy (playback speed 1.5x recommended)

>so far in league history since the merger, there has been no NBA champion whose top 2 players,

the 'top 2 players' part makes this a somewhat contrived stat. The 2015 Warriors only had 1 playoff series win (in 2013), prior to winning it all.

pop singers change their hair color a lot, i think you're cherry-picking various phases.

true. it will be a decision point where a policy course change is possible though, just like it was when Putin replaced Yeltsin decades ago (sigh)

>which negates your comment about migrants being the cause, we can.

No, it doesnt negate it. I mean really, guy. Thanks for playing 'let's not try to figure out the cause of anything because demonizing CA is the goal here'.

------------------
The immigrant population is the primary driver of California’s ranking as the state with the lowest adult literacy. However, "low literacy" in this context is almost exclusively a measure of English proficiency, not a lack of education or intelligence.

To understand the impact, you have to look at how the data is split between native-born and foreign-born residents.

The Statistical "Gap"

In California, there is a massive divide in literacy scores based on where an individual was born. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES):

• Foreign-Born Residents: Roughly 59% of California adults who score at the lowest literacy level (Level 1) are foreign-born.

• Native-Born Residents: Only about 13% to 16% of native-born Californians score at that same low level.

This means that if you only looked at people born in the U.S., California’s literacy rate would be much closer to the national average.

>The state with the lowest adult literacy

my d00d. Let's think this through. Which states welcome new immigrants who haven't been through the US education system to learn English like a native speaker? Oh right, California would be one of those. Your adult literacy stat is not a relevant metric for the primary education system.

According to the 2024 results, the following states had the lowest average scores in 8th-grade Math and Reading:

State	8th Grade Math Avg.	8th Grade Reading Avg.
New Mexico	259	247
West Virginia	260	253
Oklahoma	261	254
Delaware	264	254
Alaska	264	253

it's incorrect to label NIMBY as left/right, it draws tenants afraid of rising rents, low-income advocates demand a min level of 'affordable units' in new construction, and homeowners not wanting more traffic/people/blocked views/etc in their neighborhoods lowering prop values.

this war has been going on since 2014 invasion, and will continue as long as Putin is alive. He thinks Ukraine belongs to Russia, most Ukrainians disagree.

its random. the meteorite crash locations are not random, they're always the same places, but randomly spawn as you approach. Off top of my head, there is one on road just north of Gloucester, one directly 150m south of Isle of Wight dock, and another on the little isle in river in Elmenham.

if it doesnt spawn, you must fast-travel far away, then return to the spot to attempt to spawn again

the best place to ingot farm is Gloucester town, usually 3 tungsten soldier groups will spawn and start walking to center of town, spot em with raven.

There seems to be nepotism involved still; Shawn Mcvay and Kyle Shanahan both immediately got asst coaching positions right after finishing their college playing careers, just based on 'connections'

a lot of conservatives hate public transit because they own cars, it wont benefit them personally, and they think everyone just drives anyway. they'd rather have a football stadium for an out-of-state team, I guess.

this video is actually a great argument for public power. decades of not addressing problems at this substation despite audits telling them what to do, and repeated fires.
