Re: Moving to Indianapolis or Dallas

I agree with your focus on Indianapolis over Dallas. As you may have already noticed, the cost of housing is substantially less in Indy than in Dallas. And metro Dallas is a huge area with the...

Re: Meanwhile in Florida

I'll admit I haven't explored the particularly remote parts of Upstate SC. I passed through the town of Pickens a few years ago, and it seems like a decent little country town.

Re: Meanwhile in Florida

I wouldn't say there's much of a 'dark corner' in Upstate South Carolina. Most of the region is pretty well integrated into the Greenville-Spartanburg industrial economy. The narrow strip of...

Re: Moving to LA in two weeks, would appreciate a sense check!

Are places like Barstow and the vast Mojave region considered part of the "Inland Empire"? I'm not familiar with California-speak, but combining those places with the densely populated parts of...

Re: Help deciding if moving to Maine is a good idea

It looks like the school OP was referring to (Waynflete School) is around $30-35k.

Re: Help deciding if moving to Maine is a good idea

Are you including universities in the word "school" as in American usage? Private universities in the US can cost $60k/year for full-pay students (though many get some amount of financial aid). But...

Re: Thank you!

Trump's letter is chock full of right-wing values: "magnificent land," "sacred," "duties," "assimilate," "pledge allegiance," "patriotism," "heroes," "traditions," "homeland," "loyalty," "God bless...

Re: Thank you!

Quite interesting, plenty of not-so-subtle ideological differences apparent in the language of Trump's and Biden's letters.

Re: Relocating for 2 Year Assignment

I live near Charlotte, it's a decent enough place to live but is a very bland city. The city center is very bland and corporate, and the rest of the area is just big suburban sprawl. The weather is...

Re: British vs. American spelling

Though Americans might be likely to say 'the River Jordan', owing to the enduring influence of the King James Bible.

Re: British vs. American spelling

Good blog post on the subject here. It seems usages like "the Thames River" were in occasional use in England in the 16th/17th centuries.

Re: 2020 Election

A few weeks ago I was saying that Trump had a very good shot at winning the 2024 Republican nomination. It does seem that those chances have dropped significantly.

Re: Netflix Documentaries

I followed Ken Williams' boating blog a few years ago (they were cruising around the world on their trawler-type boat). Very interesting, but Ken once unironically described the owner of a nearby...

Re: 2020 Election

It seems that Trump will almost certainly run again in 2024, and will almost certainly win the Republican nomination (he will be younger four years from now than Biden is right now, after all).

Re: British vs. American spelling

"In work" doesn't really exist in the US at all. The opposite of "out of work" is just "have a job" or "be employed."

Re: Built In Obsolescence

I remember reading an article describing Korean engineering as faster paced and less deliberative than the Japanese, which has allowed the Koreans to undercut pricing. That said, LG has for years...

Re: 2020 Election

Hmm, OK. Later they can say, "we didn't have enough time to complete the recount, the race is too close. So the state legislature will have to assign the electors."

Re: 2020 Election

I'm guessing they will just count a small percentage of ballots by hand (the "audit" part).

Re: 2020 Election

"Trump picked up 140 votes over Biden in Maricopa County out of about 6,250 additional votes counted."

I want to thank Christ that Arizona was not decisive for the election. The tension would...

This is kind of fascinating; Biden might win Arizona by 1,000 votes or something. I feel bad for the Fox News analyst who called Arizona for Biden late Tuesday night. I guess they were assuming...

Re: 2020 Election

As far as I know all the states have abandoned those problematic punch-card type ballots that became infamous in 2000. The common system now of electronic voting with a paper ballot printout is far...
