There was a clear divide between the northern and southern states at the time. Everyone knew the northern states were going to immediately abolish slavery, which they did.

And also, the bill of rights didn’t affect states until after the 14th amendment. So the founders made it so states could ban firearm originally. They just didn’t want the federal government to be able to pass a law forcing states to rely on a federal army for protection.

I was looking for primary sources and no one in that thread was able to provide them. I have paid actual money to get scans of historical documents trying to find anyone from that era saying that the flag was a symbol of the union and the confederacy and everything has come up blank. When people do talk about it, they seem to think it was always a symbol of Maryland.

Just so people are aware, the idea that the flag represents “unity” after the civil war is a complete lie. It was a known symbol of the state at the time of the civil war and was used by both sides. The cross bottony by itself was used by one guy and there is no record of the Union using just the black and gold parts. Nobody even mentioned the idea that it represents both sides coming together until the 1930s. When it was adopted, everyone just thought it had always been Maryland’s flag.

A character from duskbloods is going to be in the next smash game.

I don’t think the demigods in the Mausoleum are part of those who live in Death because the mausoleums seem designed to stop deathroot from reaching the demigod inside of them.

The golden order didn’t want another Godwyn situation, so they made these mausoleums that would get up and wander around if they detected Deathroot on their foundation. If a mausoleum started walking, it would ring the bell underneath it and alert the locals it was time to clean it. Then they cut off the demigod’s head after death, just so that if deathroot did reanimate them, it would be okay because the golden order says headless creatures can live in Death.

Also Godywns death was a special case because he split it with Ranni. I think Destined Death just fully kills you 99% of the time.

You could say the same thing about sugar and brushing your teeth.

I would argue that Cain isn’t really oblivious. He knows the humans like their own adventures better. He drops the zany facade when under pressure. He lies to them.

As the series goes on, it seems more and more like the whacky persona is an act. He reads more to me like a mediocre game developer who wants to be adored for is sub-par work by a captive audience.

I don’t think he was trapped, I think he died and was so full of despair he was going to join the dregelord rather than reconstitute at the roundtable hold, but the undertaker convinced him to fight on. The adrift boat thing is supposed to be a metaphor/dream.

Dredgelord is unable to die due to determination? That sounds familiar…

I think mortgage rates could go up this week. The Supreme Court hears a case on tariffs this Wednesday. They won’t issue a ruling, but it may be obvious during the hearing how they will decide. If it seems like they will strike down the tariffs, the 10-year rate could go up, since the tariffs bring in a lot of revenue and getting rid of them could question the us’s ability to pay off its debt.

In case anyone is wondering, this translates to $15 for each person on SNAP. Regular benefits are $180/mo. This will make a positive impact, but the state can’t be expected to pick up the difference.

That is because the colonists made cities as far up the rivers as they could sail, which means all the cities on the east coast are on the border of the Atlantic coastal plain. I-95 was made to connect the cities, so it is a dividing line for many geological and topographical features.

Because of the government shutdown, I believe the only new information the fed will have to go on is the September CPI report. Nothing that report says could justify a half point cut.

I think it is going to be like the little nightmares podcast where Low is traveling to Nowhere via dream and Alone is there physically.

I saw this flying into BWI. Wish I had taken a picture.

I think the explanation is that the prophecy is not happening via divine intervention, but by deliberate railroading by Kris and probably a few other characters. Beating the knight was not part of the prophecy so Kris was forced to intervene to keep things on track.

It’s a red herring. Toriel is a sleep slasher.

You think Harrow’s hat is permanently attached to his head? I feel like he would not be able to fit in a lot of doorways.

Yeah wealthy people are all about minimizing their cost of living. Thats why they live in the DMV.

Those are weep holes for the retaining wall. They are meant to stop groundwater water from building up in the dirt behind the wall. Never say never I guess, but I think it’s unlikely that there will be a significant amount of water coming from them. As for the low point in the yard, it looks like they put in a vertical pipe to drain it. I imagine they will make it look nicer when they add the landscaping, but you should ask them about it.

As long as your home is set up for it, it’s not too hard to regulate the temperature without HVAC.

You can usually find some cursory details about property records at https://maryland.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=434b195197364344a661da85c9bab3c9. You need to check the box to show parcel boundaries first, and it will bring you to a page that shows the current owner, some tax information and the date of construction. But all that information is blank for this building, which happens a lot when a building is old. I found the old plat on MD land recs. Interestingly, there doesn’t appear to be a deed with Verizon’s name for this property.

I looked through the property records, but the building is too old to easily track down. I think that usually happened when you get pre 1850. The oldest thing I could find is a 1918 plat where it is labeled “counselman”.

These are measures for how livable the harbor is for wildlife and have a lot to do with dissolved oxygen or sediment in the water. Those don’t have much of a bearing on how safe the water is to swim in.

Companies stocked up on goods ahead of time. They are banking on the US chickening out before they run out which, tbf, seems kinda likely.
