That's strange, I thought you people would use kilometres for that? Anyway, I checked it out too and amazingly, she's also exactly 9 miles away from me, even though I'm in Tennessee.

Q: What happened when the smartest Texan moved to Oklahoma?
A: It lowered the average IQ of both states.
Luigi Mangione tried, convicted of murder, and sentenced to life in prison. (I lose if no trial occurs in 2025, whether due to plea deals, procedural delays, or he gets Epsteined. I also lose if either NY or federal trial results in either acquittal or hung jury.)
That's an invaluable lesson.
I can make the Vulcan "live long and prosper" sign, but only with my left hand.
Local news is reporting the shooter and one victim are dead. The other victim was grazed in the arm and is in stable condition.
I don't know. James Upham is credited with inventing the Bellamy salute and may have been inspired by the Roman Empire, or more likely by contemporary portrayals of it. Anyway, by 1930, nobody was heiling Caesar that way, but the salute was in use by American schoolchildren. On that basis, I stand by the claim that the Nazis stole it, directly or indirectly, from either the US, the Roman Empire, or Mussolini's Italy. It's a kind of cultural appropriation I find more palatable when done by people who don't then proceed to violently annex most of Europe.
The Bellamy salute was invented in the United States for peaceful purposes. The Nazis stole it (as they did with the swastika and the term Aryan) and applied it to evil. As Nazi symbols, they became more strongly associated with the humanitarian atrocities of that regime than with their original meanings, to the extent that decent people hesitate to use them anymore.
There's no technical reason why you couldn't. It's probably just some stupid marketing reason like:
- A. Monster doesn't want to sell its concentrate this way.
- B. They do, but not at a price that would justify including it as an option among other common self serve beverages.
- C. Stores don't want to offer unlimited access to dangerously high levels of caffeine after a Panera customer with a pre-existing heart condition drank about a gallon of caffeinated lemonade and then dropped dead in the dining room.
- 49N: that's as far north as you can go outside of Alaska or Minnesota (I have been to MN, but not the bit north of the 49th)
- ~29.9N: at New Orleans, not along the Gulf coast, though I have also been to the Gulf itself slightly north of there.
- ~74.6W: in an Atlantic coast state, but not all the way to the coast.
- ~123.8W: to the Pacific Ocean
What better way to honor the reverend's legacy than by bulldozing some poors.

The anal sex sense of the term buggery is etymologically related to the Bulgarian people. I think because Christian Europeans named a deviant sex act after their heathen neighbors who allegedly practiced it, but it might have been the other way around.
