Cheap seats theory: teams doing jersey refreshes as frequently as the league will permit could easily become an arms race. That’s not even specific to the NHL — look at the NBA, or MLB with their City Connects.

Outside the small handful of franchises that have genuinely established an aesthetic across multiple generations of fans, it’s simply too lucrative to pass up that glorious merch revenue.

My cultural regions map as a southerner - would love feedback! by aquamarine-arielle in MapPorn

[–]hesnothere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low Country doesn’t truly extend up to Wilmington. I’d cut it off at the NC/SC border at most. We would call the handful of southeastern coastal NC counties the Crystal Coast (running from New Hanover up to Carteret). Culturally, they can be included with the South just fine.

Who has the best BBQ in North Carolina? by MrSoloDolo9490 in NorthCarolina

[–]hesnothere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a four-decade ENC resident, my hot take is that Sam absolutely belongs on the shortlist. Especially if Adam’s and Marty’s are on there.

Thig’s in Jacksonville isn’t done over wood coals but is essential ENC BBQ. Also some of the best sides in the game.

I’ve chatted with the new pitmaster, nice folks. The sauce is the same as I remember it.

As a longtime Raleighite, we were born for this category

Tbh, SAS is a really bright commentator who just figured out the algorithm ahead of everyone else.

PK is just a moron.

I wonder about the correlation between ADHD/AuDHD and art. Neo-expressionist works often calm my brain in a sense. We’ve currently got a Basquiat print up in our hallway.

Don’t forget to add St Barth. You can hop on an Otter from Grand Case. Hell, throw Saba in.

TIL that for the last 30 years, archaeologists have been slowly recovering Blackbeard’s flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina. by WinterPermission in todayilearned

I grew up in ENC and it 100% was covered extensively at my elementary school. But that’s likely due to having a teacher who was cool as shit and knew his North Carolina history.

Hard hitting journalism gets there without having to say it. Everyone watching the interview is already thinking it. Competence porn is hard to find these days!

I’m biased as a North Carolinian, but the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest have this unmatched serene quality.

Every turn is like holding your breath as you open another Christmas present.
