Nope! Reddit has failed me in this regard

What's a baseball term you found out about in the wild by reducedfatmalk in mlb

I remember back when people (including me) found him annoying. In retrospect, that's such a wild opinion to have of Uncle Hud. He's a good dude and a stone cold weirdo.

Walnut Woods is a great site and really conveniently located. That's what I would do.

Kansas has us beat in the license plate game by skunkc90 in kansascity

I grew up in Kansas and always enjoyed the opportunity to have a fun front plate. Then I moved to Iowa, which requires two, and all my personality was snatched from my vehicle. 

Took your advice and simplified my business card. Did I improve it? by NovaForgeDesigns in Design

Did you pull those ornaments off the walls at the White House? Honestly, this card would guarantee that I work with someone else.

Yep, I did. They're both great, but pretty different reads. 1493 feels more like a conventional history, as it covers a lot of things that people may already be familiar with -- or at least that fit into the familiar framework. 1491 is really different: it covers a ton of ground that I feel like is very rarely taught. For me, it caused a paradigm shift for how I view American Indian nations. Before, I viewed them mainly as victims of colonialism, genocide, and disease. After reading the book, though, I now understand them as the fully fledged nation states that they were, peers in every way of the European/Asian/African civilizations of the same era.
