I think it's one of my favorite city names along with Heroica Matamoros in Mexico (Heroic Moor Slayer). Named after the patron saint of Spain, Santiago Matamoros. There's actually a bunch of towns named after him

I lived in Mexico for years and I literally never realize that the city was named after the man and not the saint. Learn something new everyday, it's what I get for rarely leaving Mexico City.

NoNotTheMindProbe posted:It's pretty rude that it's called New Mexico when it is right next to old Mexico. It isn't even on a different continent. Look we stole a lot of territory that war and we're already having trouble thinking of names for the parts people lived in. We didn't expect anyone actually wanted to live in a desert.

Nottherealaborn posted:In Wisconsin you can ride in truck beds under a certain speed limit and not on the highway. I guess I assumed other states are similar Huh, I thought it was illegal everywhere in the US since no matter where I lived no one I knew did that. I moved to Hawaii recently and the fact that you can not only ride in the bed but can ride on the highway was super weird but as this Shows, Hawaii is super weird in general.

The Lone Badger posted:You've got more dangerous stuff in north america. Like 'bears'. From what I understand they're basically like land crocodiles - enormous armoured hulks that will chase you down and eat you, except they could be anywhere instead of staying near water. You're confusing bears with moose, a common misconception. They don't eat you, but they also don't hibernate for winter and I'd rather test my luck with the bear than north America's goofy looking fluffy tank.

FactsAreUseless posted:It's only driven away the Fox News viewers. The hateful educated pieces of poo poo who manipulate Americans into believing Fox News poo poo all tune in to public radio and TV because it's the only thing broadcasting specifically to educated people. Politics aside, people love classical music and spoken-word short fiction. This might be a weird question but do you have more stories of working in public radio? Most of my exposure to it comes from it being my mom's favorite thing to listen to for basically as long as I can remember so I legit had no idea it could get so... Heated. I'd definitely read a thread about that kind of thing.

High levels also give you access to perfect recall of all your past lives, so Tom Cruise potentially has millennia of martial arts experience across multiple planets to call on. You go in there expecting a straight boxing fight and he busts out the same moves Xenu used to break the Psychlo's King during the First Voltar War.

Ghost Leviathan posted:A lot of Asia really hates Japan for the war crimes spree in WW2 but Japan had been conquering Korea and brutally suppressing its culture and language a lot longer than that. There's a lot of Korean descended people in Japan who still aren't considered Japanese citizens, iirc. My grandma literally referred to Taiwan and Korea as The Colonies until the day she died. I had to unlearn a lot of negative stereotypes about basically all Asians and the wrong kind of Japanese as a result

My mom and I used Ancestry to take a DNA test and while the results were not surprising at all (both sides are relatively recent immigrants), it was helpful to dig through the massive archives they had to keep track of where my dad's side of the family went after being released from Manzanar, as well as being way easier to dig through the records of multiple states at once. The actual DNA test was more like an afterthought that helped me link together the work other family members had already done so we could make an absolutely massive family tree. Was a fun family project during quarantine.

The General posted:I'm honestly just impressed that it took Nascar no time at all to call in the FBI. I was expecting the usual "We did an investigation. We found nothing." companies do. NASCAR also banned the Confederate flag at their events and changed the rules so you weren't required to stand during the national anthem. Even if it's driven by profit, it's more than what the NFL did.
