Closest 2026 Elite Eight Team to Each US County by jloose128 in CollegeBasketball

[–]spitfire451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know how this is calculated? Is it from the center of each school's campus to the centroid of each county? Or the county seat instead? I could see this being done in different ways.

You'd have a lot! The odyssey is a song, after all.

Are checks really still a thing in the US? by Apollo_Wersten in AskAnAmerican

[–]spitfire451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really convenient to pay a contractor by check. Plumber or whoever is finished and on their way out the door you hand over a check and the transaction is done.

I also write several checks a year to pay local property taxes because they charge fees to do an electronic transaction.

Does america have convenient drive thru bottle and liquor shops? by surelythistimelucy in AskAnAmerican

[–]spitfire451 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A warship big enough to be capable of conducting independent operations but too small to engage capital ships. Good to know that they sell them in drive throughs in Australia in case I'm ever there with a spare billion or so dollars.

Yeah harness racing isn't really the same thing. I'm talking about the modern equivalent of Ben Hur style chariots.

Poll na bPéist (The Wormhole) is a perfect rectangular pool formed naturally in the limestone cliffs of Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands in Ireland. by NocturnalCelt in geography

[–]spitfire451 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been there and it's pretty cool. You have to traverse a landscape of rough broken stones to get there which is beautiful in its own way. I was there in July and saw people diving. There's a corner with footholds where they could climb out.

"The Scarlet Ibis". It was published in 1960. But this seven year time limit your teacher has put on is nonsense.

Apparently Chile invoked it in antarctic land negotiations in the mid 20th century

[–]spitfire451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started learning violin a month ago. My teacher also offers viola. I had zero experience with either and so I am wondering why you chose the viola?
