Every year I enjoy the hell out of Left 4 Dead 2 around Halloween. If you guys have never played it, oh you're in for a fun time. Super cheap and runs on a potato at this point if your Xbox brother can find a computer.

"Becket Adams is a columnist for National Review, the Washington Examiner, and the Hill. He is also the program director of the National Journalism Center."

Greasy smarmy conservative creep thinks Democrat didn't do well, news at 11

Agreed, nothing to worry about yet OP.

Honestly, the apple TV is the least spammy by a long shot. I also hear great things about the Nvidia shield, but it is pretty ancient by now. Or use a computer, but of course that's got its own annoyances. Of course these are all the most expensive options, apparently for a reason.

They rarely get hurricane direct hits, but deal with the remnants of major hurricanes a lot. Not many homes are storm proofed like you'd see in Florida though. Clearly their city storm sewer infrastructures are not equipped to deal with the combination of a high annual rainfall followed by a deluge like this.

Edit: I want to clarify that Eastern NC is more prepared than out west, the eastern half sees stronger hurricane remnants more often than out west, where they still get them but they're weaker from the mountains. Not this time, apparently.

And they get some "bedroom community" money from people working in and around Boston that don't want to live in Mass. Not an unreasonable commute down i93 or i95, especially if your job is in the north burbs.

Pretty sure none of that applies in North Dakota. Maybe there's folks working in Fargo or Grand Forks that prefer Minnesota? But it's not many.

Definitely not. There's Teddy Roosevelt National Park, which is gorgeous, but it doesn't attract nearly as much tourism of all the stuff that's four hours south...

South Dakota has Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, Mammoth Site, Black Hills National Forest, Deadwood and Sturgis, a couple good private zoos in Reptile Gardens and Bear Country. All of that stuff is within a 1 hour drive of Rapid City, which has plenty of good hotels and restaurants and just generally what you'd expect from a modern midsize city. Rapid City is honestly worth the trip for anyone, but If you're a real outdoorsy person then you could easily enjoy a month out there. Oh and then not that far away (relatively speaking - 2 hours drive) is Devil's Tower in Wyoming.

So no... NoDak is comparatively sparse. And they probably like it that way.

Yeah 'etc' of course stands for 'et cetera' which implies that's all just a bunch of extra shit, right?
