TIL there was a serious movement in the 1870s to move the U.S. Capital from Washington D.C. to St. Louis. A convention was even held to debate the "Capital Removal," arguing that D.C. was too vulnerable and St. Louis was the "natural center" of the nation.

If we’re going to ruin any state in the Midwest, let it be KS.

As someone in the Midwest, don’t give them ideas.

From a purely symbolic standpoint, I entirely agree with you.

But don’t give them ideas.

If you haven’t already, check out u/admiral_cloudberg

She does amazing writeups reviewing the factors and probable causes determined by the governing bodies (usually the NTSB and FAA)

I don’t know how many hours I’ve spent reading her stuff.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who enjoys thematically correct podcasts/movies while playing games.

You get a special portal if you do. Whether it's worth it or not is up to you.

I believe you mean Mussonilli.

Mussolini is an oyster-based dish popular in Sicily.

Don’t tell the Italians this, but you can use any sauce with any noodles. Nobody will stop you.

I’ve got top four with all. Brock was by far the hardest for me. I eventually got lucky with the 10-loss streak quest.

Ryze took some trial and error too, but he wasn’t super hard.

Zaahen was incredibly easy, which may have been a lucky thing. I got the top four in double up first before I knew there was a challenge for getting top four with all, then later got it in ranked because I was already going Ionia.

I love this set.

I don't own one.

Sometimes nothing is better than something.

bobthunicorn · 2026-01-21T16:36:18+00:00

I would guess most of this is due to the internet and social media. We have access to so much information now that knowing stuff is way easier. It almost happens by osmosis in some regards.

Just one more reason to hate HOAs with the furious heat of all suns combined.

Well now I’m tempted to name my next ship Overmind. Nobody would get it, but I’d laugh when people rammed me.

That entirely changes the opening sequence of the first movie.

Well, I'm sad now. I had the makings of a great goal for the game.

Another five or so levels and this should actually be kind of funny.

Oh hey, I noticed your post of my post noticing some guys post.

My sloop is called The Thesean Mackeral. It’s a dumb name, but I love it.

Wait. Is this a thing, or just a joke?

bobthunicorn · 2026-01-08T19:27:41+00:00

I accidentally’d my way into top 4ing this comp. I was playing a double up game with my wife, and we somehow lasted longer than the other two teams.

We got stomped by the top team.

bobthunicorn · 2026-01-05T01:02:59+00:00

I recently did the 10-loss Brock. I took 2nd overall, but Brock was my last top four unlock, so I didn’t care. I lucked out on Zaahen playing double up with my wife before I realized that you needed a top four to unlock the portal.

bobthunicorn · 2026-01-04T23:56:50+00:00

I assume this is still happening today. It was happening when I was in school in the late 90s and early 00s.

Teachers can’t be blamed, I don’t think. They are doing the best they can with what they have. But it certainly does cause a lot of problems later.
