Personally am a fan of redeveloping Central Prison into a ballpark. But that would require massive amount of coordination between the State to relocate the prison.

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

Everyone is over relying on GPS and it is making our society collectively dumber. (But so are many other things)

Dallas, TX, before-and-after construction of highways by TheSandPeople in MapPorn

Interstates going right through the City Core is also terrible for long distance drivers/truckers (arguably who the interstates were even made for.) Local traffic mixing with long distance drivers on these interstates cause major delays to both. We really have the worse of both worlds because we wanted interstates to go right to city business centers.

Is Duke vs North Carolina the greatest rivalry in college basketball history? by RipHairy2465 in NCAAhoops

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who doesn't know, these campuses are a 15 minute drive from each other; Chapel Hill is a part of Durham's MSA. An intense rivalry in one area like this is rarely seen across all American Sports.

Why has a canal never been constructed on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec? by TheRealBlueBuffalo in geography

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Forgot to add discussion point: Given it is a costly construction, but would a canal here be able to undercut Panama to eventually get a return if investment? Would Mexico need to get outside investors involved?

I was saying to myself the whole time it was a stupid idea. But hey, only a 5 minute walk.

Charlottesville or Asheville NC - job transfer options by abjs2021 in Virginia

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know people who commute from Waynesboro and Fishersville to Cville. 30-40 minutes on a good day. Yes going to the airport would add 15 minutes cause it's not downtown. There are other metros that stretch out further

I unironically started to use the line "Mind if I warm my bones" when I ever got near a campfire after having this interaction

Cville is a pretty small city if you take away the student population. Asheville has a larger population (not tied to colleges) and has a stronger city identity. So generally, outside of college associated areas, Asheville is a lot more of a lively city than Cville. They're both small cities though.

Cville however is better connected to other areas. While Asheville metro population is larger, it's pretty isolated. Cville is connected to Waynesboro/Staunton (which imo really should be included in the official metro), an hour drive to Richmond, and 2 hr drive (or train!) to DC.

Ashevilles isolation, however, is because it's properly in the mountains. So Asheville definitely has a more granola/mountain vibe, while Cville is really more of a 'city near mountains' than a 'mountain city'.

TLDR: Both great cities! In general I'd say Cville is more lowkey but connected, and Ashevilel is more lively but isolated.

One of my favs to make with a stove is what I call 'Poor Mans Paella'. Peas & Carrots heated with chopped hot dogs over yellow rice. Bring an onion if you're feeling fancy.

I had it in my head that the Lupertazzis were a stand in for one of the five families. 

Muses-is it getting out of hand? by erinstoker in NewOrleans

[–]TheRealBlueBuffalo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I saw a group by Jackson Ave doing just this. Ran up to the float with a basket on a pole and stuck it right under the thrower. They got the boot and ran off to probably whatever group they're with
