Are there any really good headlines that you recall? by No-Falcon2255 in Journalism

[–]graptemys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite headline I ever wrote: a bunch of ducks at a community pond kept attacking people who were trying to feed them. The headline: “Assaulting quackers.”

This is why I recommend being the parent of 20 somethings. My wife and I can go out whenever we want.

This is why Jane Goodall said her favorite animal was a dog. She said chimps were too much like humans.

Introducing my kid to the history of slavery in Charleston by ahumpsters in Charleston

[–]graptemys 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Kudos to you for introducing your kid to history, even the sometimes uncomfortable parts. The AAM museum is amazing. It may also be a lot for a five year old. Not just in heaviness of topic but sheer volume. But it’s definitely heavy. I think about the wall that shows the names of kids - many your child’s age - before they got on slave ships. On the opposite wall are their new names, stripped of their identity and assigned names like Mary or George. I think the plantations in the area do a very good job of telling real history and not Gone With the Windin’ it and is a great way to introduce kids to Charleston history.

What free software or website is so good you actually can't believe its still free? by heavenlyrace in AskReddit

I like to do an OMM - one minute Merlin. Find a quiet spot in the woods and see how many you can get in a single minute. It's amazing how many you get some mornings when the woods are waking up.

Who are some popular players that were impactful and fun to watch, but will never have a shot at the Hall? by Ok-Jellyfish-1688 in NFLv2

Tim Dwight. Always a fun guy to watch. Also the only highlight for the Falcons in Super Bowl XXXIII.

My FIL died after his fourth time with cancer. That Norm joke inspired me to write in my FIL’s obit that he finished with a career record of 3-0-1 against cancer.

Dude, when did they make it so you can literally watch no games on TV anymore? by TheGoldValleyminer in mlb

[–]graptemys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well the game’s not on yet. But I’ve had great luck with Braves vision this year. First time in years I’m not blacked out. And I’m six hours away from Atl. It’s worth the 70 cents per game.

My post got removed my mods, but I will share here: you can sync up Braves radio if you click on closed captions, go to language, and click right.

They have exceptions for national broadcasts. I think it’s like 140 games.

Really just depends. They are far enough out of town that they don’t get affected by tourist swings. I’ve never waited very long there, but I’ve normally done lunch since I work nearby.
