What does letting them remain entail? Depending on climate, without constant care they will rapidly turn into something else.

Bowling can be rough. I wanted to use the heaviest ball, for hours, and my hand really hurt the next day.

I knew I had to decide if I wanted to get better scores by being better or getting used to the pain. I average about 138 now, which is pretty good for someone bad at bowling, and I owe it all to the 16 lb Ebonite Tornado my grandfather left me, which I launch down the lane like a cannonball, and the inertia usually takes care of what my grace does not.

Actually a Swedish mile is 6.2 American miles and I know this because it was a plot point in a book where humour arose from this hilarious misunderstanding.

hawowanlawow posted:lol just imagining driving between cities in Texas at 55mph The obvious solution is to massively invest in Schulenburg, Waco, and Buffalo. Instead of having the cities be spread apart, you build up the towns in between into cities in their own right so Texas has a single massive triangular urban conurbation marked at the corners by San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas.

Captain Monkey posted:give it 50 years we can do it way faster with forced relocation. The entire population of Beaumont forcibly moved to Huntsville. Every man woman and child in Fredericksburg loaded onto buses and driven to their new homes in San Marcos. Next time a hurricane smashes a coastal town, everybody is moved. Sorry people of Rockport, not a dime will be spent on rebuilding your town but you will all be given a beautiful new home in Seguin. This can be done, it only requires the political will to do so.

I personally think the solution to travel between the cities of Texas would be a robust high speed rail system connecting all the major cities of the state. But there's not much political will for that.

Texas has some private firms competing to put high speed rail in, so it's going to happen in some respect within the next 5-25 years, just maybe not one that makes a lot of sense.

I'm not sure how unpopular this is, but regardless of your opinions on the '80's UK situational comedy, The Young Ones, it is my opinion that more TV shows need to randomly showcase cool bands mid-story. It's been nearly forty years and I'm still angry it never took off.

christmas boots posted:Forced relocation has worked out really well historically and hasn’t been controversial at all Honestly just giving people in coastal communities who lose their homes to hurricanes a new home further inland would be preferable to our current scheme of promising them that FEMA will eventually provide funds to the states which will then distribute them and they'll get a portion of the value of their destroyed home 8 years after the fact.
