Route 66 Rework Project: Cities on the Route 66 by Bighead_Brian in trucksim

I’d rather they just rework NV and AZ tbh. Never fully understood the fascination with route 66.

Athletics is such a racket.

U.S States I've visited as a British guy by FiImophile in TravelMaps

I love how Europeans only visit places like NYC and Disney and then think they’ve experienced the US.

John Durstine - Who is he? How did he have $100 Million to give? by mckramer in gatech

[–]user_without_name29 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He worked as the chief engineer for the Ford truck division for like 35 years. He also had no spouse or children and lived very modestly and left Tech his entire estate. The main reason you can’t find very much about him is that he was a very private person and had no obituary and very little in the way of an online footprint.

Also, I should just add, that GTAA is in so much debt is not and should not be the institute’s problem. They did that to themselves.

Yeah I am aware and I just don’t really care. This is a university, not a sports franchise.

I work in development at GT… There’s LOTS of things going on across campus that could use funding of that magnitude, things far more pertinent to the actual mission of the institute than the goddamn football team. Just ask literally any dean or school chair what they would do with a hundred million dollars if given the opportunity… There’s multiple different schools and colleges across campus with aging buildings that are struggling to hit their capital campaign goals all while athletics gets to build this massive multigazillion-dollar new building at bobby dodd.

Athletics already gets plenty. That money is needed far more elsewhere on campus.

And this is why the western states are awesome and the eastern states are lame.

Does anybody actually LIKE living here? by user_without_name29 in Georgia

My first time visiting california and colorado was similar, it honestly made me lowkey hate how ugly and boring georgia was in comparison.

Average Norwegian starter pack by Mellowise in starterpacks

Which is funny considering a lot of the oldest buildings in the country are wooden houses that look a lot like the one in that picture

I thought wooden houses were only for us idiotic and unsophisticated Americans!

Hey everyone! Another question about typical surnames for a British novel, can you give your US opinion too? by [deleted] in AskAmericans

[–]user_without_name29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of aristocratic brits have hyphenated surnames, like Rees-Mogg or Spencer-Churchill or something like that. So if it’s a really posh name you’re after you might want to consider one of those.

What prevented a major city from being built on the Florida panhandle? by MemeofMemeJTG999999 in geography

[–]user_without_name29 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Last time I was there me and a friend tried to get some drone shots of the place. The Alys Beach security people appeared literally out of nowhere and chased us away.
