It's close, but you missed "ecosystems," Daryl.

Now now folks, the Badlands are in the Southwest quadrant of South Dakota so the statement technically works.

I live in a state that pretended we whipped COVID in April of 2020 so it's wild being reminded the shit the rest of you went through. My city was hosting tournaments cancelled elsewhere and doing it with crowds in attendance.

Correct, although I think this is potentially a little misleading for two reasons. First, housing prices didn't start to feel the effects of higher interest rates until May or June of 2022. Decking Second, and this one is anecdotal, I live in one of these orange counties and the types of houses being listed have also changed in the last year. There's fewer people listing there 80-year-old craftsman houses, and a higher proportion of brand new McMansions on the market, but the total number of units is way down.

Edit: Speech-to-text somehow turned "second" into "decking".

There's some Old World blood feuds playing gout when this happens in Minnesota. Mascots are going full speed and the kids are wearing brass knuckles, it's pure madness.

I think Poland was more concerned about getting a pledge from Germany that the tanks Poland sends to Ukraine can be replaced some day, and that Germany wasn't going to ban Poland from future purchases.

I was on the fence until now. /s

Yet the ten game win streak correlates with their offensive improvements, right? This has been a trend for decades. Hell, I wrote about this in grad school and started my professional career off that project. The - at the time - ten highest scoring teams in NFL history had all finished .750 or better, but only one of them had won the Super Bowl up to that point. In the playoffs, and I suspect this is due to good defenses appearing to be more consistent than good offenses, defense became a better indicator of success. For instance, in 2010 the top two defenses were Pittsburgh and Green Bay, who played each other in the Super Bowl that year. Top two offenses? San Diego and New England who combined for zero playoff wins that year.

In other words, as their offense improved, they won more games. I feel like OP already explained that.

Sauce?

I believe it will as a result of NATO's vote on Monday. It's going to force a lot of countries to choose to do business with NATO or with Russia, and it'll make it that much harder and more expensive to use intermediaries (China) to get around the sanctions.
