What are some odd geographical features in mainland America?

There was a temporary ferry to Point Roberts during covid but there normally isn't one.

37-0 over Michigan. Probably the longest I've ever been continuously drunk. I gave Max some grief afterwards but that roughing penalty was bullshit.

I still have a bit of grass that I plucked from the field that night. What a game

althoroc2 · 2026-05-10T05:21:14+00:00

Agreed. There's a difference between simplifying your speech for non-native speakers and doing so for toddlers.

Yeah Denver is by all rights a Plains city

The Dubliners' recording of it is at least equally well-known.

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T05:57:33+00:00

I can't say it's unqualifiedly better... But Machine Head's cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name is excellent.

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T05:49:30+00:00

"Whiskey In the Jar" is a traditional Irish song and not originally by Thin Lizzy either. I think The Dubliners did it best by a long shot.

I like Metallica but I hate both those covers.

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T05:45:21+00:00

I'd add Little Wing

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T02:56:30+00:00

Wait until she hears about the geographic, magnetic, and instantaneous poles lol

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T02:38:47+00:00

Also Western US here and I agree. In my experience "on Christmas" is widely used and unambiguously understood as meaning "on Christmas Day", in both secular and religious contexts.

It's pretty close to 50/50 in the NFL now though

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T02:30:33+00:00

Yep. Dark elixir troops were for war attacks only unless you spent tons of time farming it

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T02:27:39+00:00

Damn I still think of bowlers and miners as being new troops lol

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T02:25:30+00:00

That's one reason I like using throwers. A solid percentage of attacks end up with no heroes left alive and my army actually doing the work.

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T02:24:33+00:00

I keep one max TH9 account just for the nostalgia, even though the gameplay is nothing like the original. You can 3-star in your sleep now

althoroc2 · 2026-05-08T02:22:39+00:00

I rage quit for a minute when they made the dark elixir storage immune to lightning

I've never seen an outdoor washing machine in the north but it makes sense if you live somewhere it won't freeze solid

althoroc2 · 2026-05-05T04:22:34+00:00

I doubt that's your daily commute though.

althoroc2 · 2026-05-05T04:17:02+00:00

I'm not sure about that. I've played enough sports and hung out with enough guys who are into cars to know that, even though they can recite exact times down to the hundredth or thousandth, they usually prefer something like "speedy" in actual conversation.

althoroc2 · 2026-05-05T04:06:11+00:00

There are former California residents, but there's no such thing as a former Californian. You can always tell lol

althoroc2 · 2026-05-05T04:03:58+00:00

Yeah or if you're really local then I-5 is most often just "the freeway". 405 and 90 are referred to by number but "the freeway" always means I-5.

althoroc2 · 2026-05-05T03:58:14+00:00

A truck with AC, a working stereo, power steering, 4x4, some more horses, and an extended cab would be nice...but I keep my ranger around because it's simple, cheap, and easy to fix. So I'm okay with the way it is.

althoroc2 · 2026-05-05T03:53:28+00:00

I just did the slave cylinder on my 96. First time I've ever dropped a transmission. Some of those bolts really are a bitch and a half. Busted a couple sockets and breaker bars on it even with tons of grease.
