Why not just say the whole state of Texas instead of mentioning individual cities? The whole state (outside of parts of the east) has never been truly "southern"

How to prevent (or minimize) hangovers for real.

1) Chugg as much Gatorade (or similar drink with electrolytes) before going to bed.

2) Unless you are so drunk you'll burn the house down make a huge thing of scrambled eggs and wolf it down before bed.

3) Whatever your favorite headache med in the morning (not Tylenol which does not go well with alcohol).

Nothing will happen. Cutting enough to fix the problem or raising enough taxes to fix the problem are both political suicide. DOGE was a drop in the bucket and nothing to help. To truly solve the problem you have to make big cuts to Military, Social Security and Medicaid which everyone loves..... or raise taxes by 20-30% which nobody wants. So we'll just sleep walk into a crises and let the next generation deal with it.

Loved Layne and AIC and do not want to make the argument over who is better as a singer.

But Soundgarden's Louder than Love and Badmotorfinger are better than any 2 AIC ever released. Much more raw and inline with the grunge movement.

Complete backwards imo. Cornell had one the best voices in rock history. It doesn't get anymore raw than Dirt and Facelift (Jar of Flies and self titled are a different story)

Iraq war was the start. Prior to that USA was seen as this shining beacon and protector of freedom and democracy that led the world in economic prosperity, cultural relevance and moral righteousness..

Whether you agree or not a ton of people who once admired the USA saw the Iraq war as a huge mistake and this took away from America's mystique.

That's what allowed Obama to get elected and he proceeded to highlight America's imperfections non-stop which resulted in the America-critical activist class taking control of the Democratic party... which resulted in the MAGA backlash and here we are today more divided than ever.

Totally agree. Another that should be in the Top 5 but never is is Doo Doo Doo.

#1 will always and forever be Gimme Shelter though.

Amazing game.. can't believe that was the last time we played. That was at the tail end of Syracucse's late 80's to early 2000s run as a consistent top 20 program. Very evenly played game. A lot of Syracuse fans still salty about that pass interference call that kept your guy's (we don't say y'all) final drive alive. If it weren't for that call no National Championship.

Have no idea what to expect from this Syracuse team. Completely different squad from last year. I do trust this coaching staff though after the season they put together last year.

O-line is not an obvious weak spot (solid transfers) but will not be anything amazing.

Close loss or blowout are both possible. Do not see Syracuse pulling out a W.

The French and American Revolutions couldn't have been more different despite happening around the same time and obstensibly fighting for the same things (liberty, equality, democratic representation of the people etc.)

The biggest difference is that with the American revolution, once there was agreement that the British had to go, everyone who wanted "change" wanted basically the same thing... for the Americans colonists to rule themselves. There was a clear and common enemy and a clear and common goal (more or less).

With the French Revolution, there were a million different factions among those who wanted "change". Some wanted the king to stay but to implement reforms, some wanted a constitutional monarchy where the king shared power, some wanted a constitutional monarchy where the king was just a figurehead, some wanted to get rid of monarchy entirely.

Where it went wrong was that after initially pretending to be sympathetic to calls for reform, Louis eventually made it clear he had no plans to change anything. This pissed of everyone which resulted in an increase in support for those who wanted to do away with the monarchy entirely (Jacobins).

The Jacobins used this new found support to gain majority power in the "change" camp. Instead of using their newfound power to build consensus and a stable Republic they unleashed an orgy of violence and revenge against the former oppressors and forced through a whole bunch of policies that everyone hated (eliminating the Catholic Church, complete incompetance running the economy etc.) and soon everyone hated them.

In turn they became extremely paranoid, started instituting ideological purity tests (sound familiar?) and started Guillotining anyone suspected of non-conformity (including former allies). The result was civil war, the rest of Europe invading, and an almost certain return of Absolute Monarchy if history's most talented human being (Napoleon) hadn't gained power and found a middle ground between the radical Jacobins and the Ancienne regime.
