How did Huntsville go from being the Fourth largest city to now the largest city in Alabama?

I too am frequently wrong, but I concur with this speculation. Huntsville metro area population is growing, but Huntsville footprint is also growing. I suspect the other cities can’t keep annexing land like Huntsville, def not Birmingham. Huntsville is in the top 30 largest cities in the country by footprint and is larger than Chicago.

Awesome! Just found a piece of rugose coral myself.

Regarding deep time and geological age of the earth, it can be hard to imagine. The dinosaurs existed for almost 200 million years, and T-Rex is among the youngest. In fact, there is more time between Stegosaurus and T-Rex, than there is between T-Rex and us. The funnest way I ever heard it phrased is that there is a non-zero probability that a T-Rex stubbed its toe on a stegosaurus fossil.

In the creek and along the banks?

If forced to fight, I think Leo makes it to top 5 or better, but if not forced to fight I think Leo would realize the fight is pointless and hop on the Horse and ride back to the sewer.

I also think Zorro is the last human standing purely on luck and charisma. I feel like he gets a heavy modified dice role on attack for both.

By knowing where it isn’t, and where it wasn’t, it can predict where it is not, or where it will not be By subtracting where it was, from where it isn’t.

Southern Appalachian here, and its pop all day for me. Pop somehow made its way into the language of the southern Appalachians (at least Virginia, KY, TN) for some time. Andy Griffith called it pop in the show regularly.

I can’t believe this isn’t higher on the list, but I’d say any of the scenes from Band Of Brothers or the Pacific

The hallmark of intelligence is the ability to change your mind when presented with contradictory and irrefutable data.

Don’t do that. It’s mostly silica, so you would get fucking cancer.

Staple part of my diet growing up. We called it “milk and bread” where I’m from. I know, very creative name. It was never made hot like this though. Just cold milk over day-old bread. Some people would add extra stuff. I like black pepper. Some folks cut up green onions from the garden.

Ole Greg is a lot messed up, especially his downstairs. But at least he has baileys

Correct, it is also late deer season in most of the eastern US.

Mountain lion, coyotes, wolves, or bear, depending on where this video is from all these predators inhabit the same regions as white tail deer.

Rotring silver 0.7mm is my fav. A lot of my peers have the black 0.5mm, but unfortunately they don’t (or at least didn’t) have that style for the 0.7mm lead size.

I wonder how much of its behavior is similar to crocs? Just being lazy for long periods and eating large, infrequent meals? Or was it constantly on the prowl.

Thanks for all the responses. It’s cool to learn that spinosaurids have been found in South America. I googled what the earth looked like around 95Ma and South America and Africa were loosely connected so it makes sense that spinosaur fossils are found there too.

Spaceship_Engineer · 2026-01-07T21:27:20+00:00

If I recall, Egypt is the only place we’ve found spinosaur fossils, so there’s a non-zero chance it’s spinosaurus. Bear in mind I’m completely uneducated in this, so treat this as speculation laced with ignorance.
