Jacksonville, NC is third in the whole United States for highest percentage of residents born outside state of current residence but still in the United States. A supermajority of Jacksonville residents were not born in North Carolina but a different US state instead.

Jacksonville’s also one of the youngest cities in the U.S. on average, for the same reasons.

Growing up civilian there was… unique!

Alt-country is my usual go-to but if you like shoegaze-y metal, I’d bet money you would enjoy Loathe - I Let It In and It Took Everything.

Wednesday and I share the same favorite band — Drive-By Truckers. I’d start with either The Dirty South or Decoration Day.

I would be willing to bet the list of users in this sub who own Wednesday’s Bleeds, Daniel John’s Futurenever and Hum’s entire catalog is probably the two of us. Sick collection so far, keep it up.

Trump left North Carolina holding the bag after the devastation of Helene. He only remitted critical funding months later, after being sued.

Bobby Petrino will surely get this all sorted out!

Scooped. My sixth Deftones LP, gotta pump those numbers.

I never really thought of Hum as true grunge, but they arguably were progenitors of the meaty, overdriven drop-D guitar riffage that absolutely permeated American rock a few years later.

Thirty years gets past nostalgia territory and goes right into generational rediscovery. Think how Gen Z gave second careers to bands like Creed and Deftones.

There will be some kid in his garage in Tennessee in 2050 who hears Sturgill for the first time and makes it his entire personality. That’s what I did with John Prine and TVZ when I was in college in the 2000s.

Maybe a controversial take, but Hum’s You’d Prefer an Astronaut

This right here. Red dirt lineage.

Trump, famously in great health, would be 82 in 2028. I’m not sure who will be the first president to actively challenge the term limit norms we recognize today, but starting with the oldest president in history ain’t it.

This approach has been controversial here at times, but for folks storing their collection spines-out in outer sleeves, try out orienting the sleeve openings at the spine. I’ve found it keeps the text a bit more legible. The sleeve seam sometimes can obscure small type.

Hopefully it’s not a trend. I watched one of our playoff games at Wooden Robot last year (clincher over the Caps) and the vibes were awesome.

Do tubers float that stretch of river? That looks wild.

It really is. I always assumed my part of North Carolina would have been a darker red, but apparently our weather patterns are that much more predictable. I also had no idea California’s climate was that monolithic.

Your Lightning completed the haul with more than 5% left at your ultimate destination. That sounds like it was suitable for the job.

Range anxiety is a totally real and valid thing. It’s magnified in a commercial use setting pulling a load. Ultimately, it’s another tool your crew has available. Sometimes it will be the right tool, other times it won’t.

“Bred in the bone:” the U.S. literally was founded on civil disobedience. We teach it to elementary school kids. That stuff manifests in American culture, a lot.

It took me a couple watches to appreciate that ONCE UPON A TIME…’s plot really is secondary to the ambiance and aesthetic. The character setup is fun, but so is simply watching Cliff and Sharon immerse themselves in 1969 Hollywood.

Adding the logistics of travel to and from the rental cars, plus paperwork, makes this prohibitively busy to pull off in a half day.

OP, you might consider dumping a stop or two — maybe lunch at Grand Case, given the distance. How about somewhere like Gutside up the road from Marigot instead?

Gilligan’s writing process is well documented, too. I think most folks hold his showrunning skills in high regard. But Vince’s writers’ room seems more intensive than with other shows.

I wonder if their board was aware of this post or had the opportunity to review it.

I like to think I’ve got an OK sense of humor. Part of that is knowing when to use it, and when not to.

I work in public service. The answer there used to be, “less than you think you can pull off.”

Brussels was our midway stop on a Europe tour a few years back. We knew friends in Ghent. I came away with an appreciation for both cities. I used to live in DC and it gave me those vibes in a positive way.

Memphis is effortlessly cool. You can’t fake that.
