historically when people name women's professional sports teams they are at a high risk of sounding like varieties of deodorant. I guess I'd be okay if every pro sports franchise just told me the color of socks they planned on wearing.

The PWHL launched so fast (and with very cringe names in the planning stage) that they just ended up going by their city name and... honestly I wonder if they'd just stick to that.

I’d be fine if formal branded team names were dropped and nicknames went back to emerging and evolving organically, like the early years of baseball.

ChickenMedium posted:Just wait until the lake dries up and everyone chokes to death on toxic dust. It felt like I brought the planet's worst loving drought with me when I moved here in 2018, but the last two winters are expected to bring the Great Salt Lake up to its highest level in 5+ years in time for summer. I knew next to nothing about Utah before I moved here as a remote work with my wife for her new, and weird, teaching job where she gets to write her own custom curriculum - there was Salt Lake City, Provo, mountains, and some national parks. Coming from a place where water has never been an issue, I had no idea the lakes here were in that bad a shape. Crazy Ted fucked around with this message at 23:12 on May 12, 2024 |

I'm going to Logan, Utah next week for some stupid corporate growth summit/workshop and can't say I'm looking forward to it. Is there anything I should do while visiting?

Its been a Utah thing since like 2010 when the mormon church actually said "Yeah caffeine in cold drinks is fine, hot drinks no" and then a bunch of chains started selling em.

The conspiracy theory I heard for the sudden turnaround on caffeine in cold drinks suddenly being OK is that a Mormon became CEO of PepsiCo.  No idea if this is true or not - I had plenty of Mormon friends as a kid but they never shared anything about their religion and the change happened after they all went off to college and basically cut the non-Mormon world off altogether.

Man they really stuck you in one of the worst places possible as far as getting to see the must-see stuff in Utah and you're too close to the dreaded Idaho. Arches/Zion/Bryce are amazing amazing amazing but on the other side of the state. I dunno take an extra day and go to Yellowstone. If Evermore was still open I'd go for the irony poisoning reasons.

Driving I-80 through Wyoming was, I think, the first time I've been seriously scared for long stretches of time driving through something other than heavy & aggressive traffic. I can't remember where, but there are places on I-80 in Wyoming where they have electronic signs telling you what the current crosswind speeds are because they're frequently over 55 MPH. Driving through that with a Speed Limit of 80? gently caress that.

Crazy Ted posted:One thing I've learned here is that mountains never stop being really pretty if you didn't grow up near them and/or take them for granted. However, Idaho & Wyoming are pretty much flat, depressing, and really loving windy if you're on the Interstate. I remember going to Jackson Hole for a wedding and flying in late at night. Basically just checked in and went to bed. The next morning when I woke up, stepped outside, and saw all the mountains I was floored.
