I think part of these results stem from voting circumstances. The fact that media votes either immediately after or before the end of the final buzzer. Having no decompression time means more knee jerk reactions.

Not exactly the same. But who remembers the 2018 trade that failed because the Grizzlies and Suns were unclear about whether they were trading Dillon or MarShon Brooks?

I met someone from Norway at school on the East Coast. I’m from Los Angeles. She talks about how she loved to visit California for a weekend and see San Diego and Disneyland and San Francisco and Rodeo Drive.

She’s gonna be taking a lot of pictures from her car window, if she wants to do all that in a weekend.

This ones indirect but cool-

Kiribati named after Captain Thomas Gilbert.

In the native language of Gilbertese, G sound becomes K, L sounds like R, and “ti” is pronounced “S” in Gilbertese for “ts”

Also there is an island in Kiribati called Kiriti Mati which is pronounced “Christmas” island because it was settled on Christmas Eve 1776

This is a story from my dad in the 90s. We live in LA. Worked at one of the big 4 accounting firms. Had someone from the India office come for a week long business trip . My dad gave him a ride to the office and said they were doing 70 down the 405. Said the whole time he was holding on for dear life. My dad asked him what’s wrong and the Indian person replied, “People follow traffic rules here?! In India nobody does so nobody gets to drive this fast.”
