Yeah, Peruvian in Virginia? Maybe there's a cluster up around DC, but I know there's way more Salvadorean restaurants around there, and likely zero Peruvian places in Richmond or Tidewater. Tex-Mex, Thai, Filipino, sushi; far more of those all over the state.a-1

Similarly, the Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans in 2002 and Charlotte received the expansion Bobcats two years later. Twelve years later the Hornets changed their name to the Pelicans and the Bobcats took on the old Hornets name and colors AND got their history up until 2002, while the Pelicans are treated as a franchise formed in ‘02.

See also Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies. And by happy accident the Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets got more fitting names after moving!

Yeah I read that and its dumb, the solution either way is you Google it. Also it's very funny that this uses "you have to reach out to a person unprompted" as the example and completely ignores the more common situation where you're trying to set up something at a specific time between people on a bunch of different time zones. It's way easier to get "Ok, we'll all meet at 2" rather than having to go "ok so thats 2 for me, what time is that there" and have everyone convert between their timezones

Edit:

Good news

Really low unemployment is bad for the economy because there are not enough people to do the work. You have to hire someone who's already employed elsewhere, wait weeks or months for it, and now they have an unfilled position, and so on.

unironically Virginia is probably #1 because all those numbers are inflated by the presence of shitloads of military-industrial complex corporations with names like Advanced Eminence Tech Inc, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings Corp.)

It's pretty simple. You just need to imagine that Monty Hall adds a fourth door, and tells you there is a goat in it. Then there are two possibilities: the door you chose contains the goat or one of the two doors you didn't choose contain a goat. But now Monty Hall has put one of the goats in the fourth door, meaning that one of the doors doesn't contain a goat but instead contains two possibilities, one of which is that the door you chose was originally a door with a car but now the car is logically in the other door, and the other is that one of the goats has moved and the door you chose is now the door with either the car or that a fifth door would have a car if a goat was in the third door. Then logically what you need to choose is the door that would have not been opened if you hadn't changed the car door or if the goat had been in a car. So if Monty Hall were to add a sixth door then the door would either contain a car or would contain whatever the third door contained when you switched to a goat, so if you don't switch then the third door will contain either a goat with a door or a car with a hall, and knowing that you can then move the door to the second door and open the goat to find another door that Monty Hall has been behind the whole time, having told you the goat which the car placed was in the fifth door when it was in fact both behind the sixth door and the third door that would have been second if you switched from the goat to the car.
