Southern states actually don't have very strong metro-governance as a general rule, a lot of them are council-manager driven and a lot of the power is resolved at the state or county levels.

outside of annexation powers, but even that's been heavily circumscribed recently due to the growth of suburbs

This is new because you have previously spent a whole lot of time saying Chicago is an awful place that you hated.

You guys say florida is an awful place that you hate. Day to day all you do there is get drunk and sit on the beach. That doesn't make it not an awful place people hate. Chicago definitely is expensive as gently caress though and you'll get robbed while you're there. by a white guy in a suit or a uniform

Hey guys! I just want to make sure everyone gets plenty of healthy snacks and naps during the league!
My recommendations to keep you awake and semi-alert.
Drinks
Personally I recommend a mix of Monster energy drink and Grey Goose Vodka. Red Bull and other vodkas work, but I find that Grey Goose and Monster is easier to keep down after 14-15 steady hours of drinking.
Some people may find that it's easier to make every other drink a neat whiskey, sipped over a longer period of time. This really cuts down on the jitters if you happen to be caffeine sensitive.
Food
Food is important. You can't play if you don't have food, because everyone knows eating every 3-4 hours is something you have to do, or you'll die.
I like to keep a plethora of menus near my table. My personal favorite is Pizza Hut who offer an 8 slice Meat Lovers Stuffed Crust pizza that you'll find pairs wonderfully with your Monster and Vodka.
Chips are also a good addition but you'll have to pick those up beforehand.
If pizza isn't your thing I've found that egg rolls are a great finger food and deliverable to most places.
Delivery is the most important part of food selection. This allows you to time delivery with your bathroom breaks so you don't waste time.
Sleep
Sleep is super important. I find that the best way to make sure you get enough sleep after release is to reward yourself with an 8 hour session of it right after your first Shaper kill. About 28 hours in this is going to provide great motivation to quit screwing around and actually push some drat content. Sleep is for closers.
I hope everyone has a great release and stays safe and healthy using these simple tricks!

All in all the case is good so far, but from the position of a complete layperson I'd have to ask: You really couldn't find the time to put "Stand offs vary by mainboard type" in your instruction booklet? (Also the letters near the holes are hard to read because you insisted on doing black on black.)

The crossbar, I think it is not entirely level so I do not get both screws to hold their respective pins at the same time unless I only screw softly. Then it holds, but I'm not sure if it holds enough.

There's a reason Houston has the highest social mobility and is, demonstrably, the most ethnically diverse city in the country and a big part of that reason is when Southern *and Northern* cities - mostly Northern, historically, which is where racism and segregation was first rampantly enforced through redlining and other institutional means instead of violence - allowed shitloads of white flight communities to slip the surly bonds of muni districts and touch the face of segregation, Houston annexed the gently caress out of every single one it could get its hands on, which is why it isn't a basket case like Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco and so on. It's an actual metro area (one of the largest cities in the country in population *and* area) with contiguous areas and a tax base.

To expand on this, it's now as tight as I can with these screwdrivers without risking damage to the screw or the driver. I think the one side might still a little tighter than the other, but screw it.

This will likely hold and keep it from squishing. If the temps are not okay I'll throw this one out and get a different cooler.
