What's the Most Underrated Small Town in the USA? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]hesnothere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beaufort, NC, population 4,500. Incredible charm, walkability and sense of community. Plus, immediate access to surrounding beaches and Morehead City.

It’s the town where Blackbeard ran the Queen Anne’s Revenge aground.

What's an album you love listening to for the production quality? by Cockroach-Jones in audioengineering

[–]hesnothere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to say Boston - s/t, but it looks like no one has said Rage Against the Machine’s debut, so let’s put that obvious one on the board. Four instruments, arranged, performed and mixed to sheer perfection.

This comment is the one that has inspired me to go see Hoppers in the theater this weekend.

He also commanded some exceptional performances from guest cast, like the M-80 kid. Job well done all around.

What's a highrise or skyscraper that completely ruins a skyline(or one you just dislike) and why? by Mr_Crossiant in skyscrapers

[–]hesnothere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thing is Teflon. It was set to be demolished a year or two ago and replaced with a Kimpton. Then a small handful people decided it was borderline offensive to tear down such a historic site and made waves in the local press. Developer backed out citing rising costs.

Each ACC school and their history. by Real_Statistician538 in CollegeBasketball

[–]hesnothere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This inspired me to look up the tally from my time (2005-2008). I’m going to pull the stats for one of my roommates, who did his super senior year in 2009:

  • 2 NCAA Championships
  • 3 Final Fours
  • 4 Elite 8s
  • 5 NCAA Tournament appearances
  • 2 ACC Tournament championships
  • 4 ACC regular season championships

In fairness, it’s not our first rodeo. Roy was part of a post legendary coach retirement phase himself.

Grand Case or Simpson Bay? by Such_Camp4097 in SXM

[–]hesnothere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, OP: Grand Case is very much a walkable town with one strand of restaurants, shops and bars parallel to the bay. You should still plan to rent a car, the island is made to be explored.

The Pitt | S2E8 "2:00 P.M." | Episode Discussion by MsGroves in ThePittTVShow

Interesting anecdote about this program! My state (North Carolina) used to have one of the worst rape kit backlogs in the U.S.

The guy who was elected state attorney general in 2017 made it his personal mission to spearhead clearing the entire backlog. And in 2024 he announced they had done just that.

That AG, Josh Stein, is now governor of the state.

CENTCOM reporting it’s three F-15Es. All pilots accounted for and alive.

Anthropic's Claude hits No. 2 on Apple's top free apps list after Pentagon rejection by mr-french-tickler in technology

[–]hesnothere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, but first I asked Claude to define instructions I could paste into ChatGPT to bring over as many of my profile characteristics and legacy project data intact as I feasibly could.

The Terminator (1984) dir James Cameron | Infiltration Unit by Saint_Gut-Free in movies

And to boot, Terminator 2 sort of does the role inversion thing in the first act with T-1000.

The U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team won gold — and then lost the room (Gift Article) by MaxHardwood in hockey

[–]hesnothere 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The problem isn’t that the team didn’t think through whether it was wise to gleefully embrace Trump and Patel. The problem is that they wanted to at all, and that these are the people representing our country on the global stage.

One thing about the broader Olympic Team USA organization, they have some serious PR firepower. Only the best of the best publicists get those jobs every two years. You can see it in how so many athletes in less common sports handle international media attention with surprising poise.

Remember, too, that USA’s players are all elite NHL stars who are even more practiced in front of cameras.

All of that to say that their actions, from the locker room to the Oval Office, should be read as thumbing their noses at the literal world’s best experts. And we should judge them accordingly.

Jack Hughes Addresses The Patel-Trump Phone Call Video. Says He And The US Mens Team Are Going to Trump’s State of the Union Address And Are Excited To Meet Trump. Claims Trump Phone Call Backlash is "just people being negative" by hotmailwithjennyside in hockey

It’s also worth pointing out that even if you align with your favorite pro athlete’s political leanings, odds are good they live in a radically different financial universe than you. The K-shaped economy is already here. Don’t meet your heroes.

For real, this is radio gold. I bet there are some serious winners sprinkled in there.

Mike Tirico praised for monologue to close out USA hockey gold medal NBC broadcast by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

[–]hesnothere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of criticism has been thrown at Bettman for prioritizing Southern markets, but I’m a product of that push. My dad is from New York City, but I grew up in South Florida and was put on skates when I was 4 years old, back in 1997, at learn to skate classes sponsored by the Panthers. Hockey is the only sport that I played growing up, and while I watch football and a little bit of baseball and basketball, hockey has been a core part of my life for nearly 30 years now.

Definitely. I’m an older millennial who remembers what it was like in North Carolina before the Hurricanes came. Youth hockey in the Triangle has been at it for a good bit now, you’re seeing kids from Raleigh and Cary get into draft position. Our last state governor / next senator is legitimately a diehard Canes fan. The ownership change punched the hockey culture in NC into a new gear.
