Chapel Hill received its first rainfall in 20 days yesterday, remains one of wettest US cities to date.
I have a feeling these āChapel Billāshirts are gonna become as scarce as the Dohertyās Disciples shirts of the early aughts.
Answer: 2004 vs Louisville (34-0). And itās the biggest season opening loss ā home or away ā in UNC football history (137 years)
The last time UNC lost at home by 34 points? I have no idea.
Except this time everyone is watching š¬š¬
Carolina football. Same as it ever was.
UNC System already 3-9 with UNC dogs tonight
I think about her line about the trees āa disorienting spectrum of sun soaked greenā all the time now when I look out my window

Wikipedia initially lists MSAz from 50 states and DC. I didnāt intentionally skip it. They have PR in separate section which I donāt believe census does en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropo...

Very cool but I think thereās a data error for VT bc thereās nothing within 14 miles of Blacksburg. Basically it would mean every athlete was from Blacksburg and for a high level D1, I doubt it
Ah I get you lol but there are still millions of trees in the city limits too but yes Duke Forest is lovely
Not sure I understand the question
What kind of convoluted routing system is ATT using where Charlotte is being fed through Mississippi? Are they running it along the Colonial Pipeline?
It adds to the darkness
The crazy thing is nearly all of the trees in my area were gone a century ago for crops and youād never know it today
I love the trees, but we do have a ridiculously overprotective attitude above them. There are millions and literally none shall ever be cut! Iām like bruh
No lies detected. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Whether one defines it as genocide or not I can forgive people for being a little emotional about a situation that has killed a higher percentage of the population than the US Civil War
Imagine a war killing 3 percent of the US population. That would be 10 million people. Now imagine if the victor decided the remaining citizens needed to vacate.
Mike Krzyzewski lost his final game at the Final Four to North Carolina. They even slapped the floor for defense on the final possession they attempted to defend a lead. And they played Cascada for their pregame intro montage. All this came after he lost his last HOME game to the same Tar Heels 3ā¦
And Alaska!
ACAB for life
Few will admit it but the South won
Thanks. Cant speak for Davidās situation but Iām bonafide vitiligo haver. Iāll mention it to him

Not exhaustive but Iāve searched every major city in US and many others. These are the top ten
Hm not sure where they get these numbers. The official numbers for Chapel Hill can be found using this site. www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?... May 8.67, June 4.83, July 16.41, Aug 4.78. YTD = 48.7ā Milwaukee YTD = 26.63ā www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?...
Is that JC? Beautiful weather!
Old computer users like me can relate to what Iām about to say, which is that UI/UX design hit its apogee maybe in the first few years of the 2000s, and it has been a disastrous downhill shit show ever since. There used to be very well-understood conventions by which to abide.
Maybe some kind of revenue share deal bc Kenan had more capacity is all I can think of. Iāve reached out to some people I thought would know but they didnāt š¤·š»āāļø
Weird. Carter-Finley broke ground in ā63 and opened in ā66 so shouldnāt be that.

Built in 1925, this bridge later became North Carolinaās largest sensory garden for the blind and visually impaired. Irreplaceable infrastructure.
What if it wonāt fit in the mailbox? I canāt leave it on the ground or on top right?
This is a funny one
The idea that billionaires are going to leave New York City to go to Dallas or Charlotte is laughable. I like Faber but heās dumb on this.
Itās downright dangerous not to have a water bottle with you at all times
A well done domain hack
A scientist who was working in Californiaās Half Moon Bay yesterday sent this video showing an otherwise imperceptible indicator of the tsunami: pelicans being pulled backwards away from shore.
Excuse my language but what fucking business is it of the united states government whether Brown undertakes this kind of medical care for parents and their kids who fully consent to it and desire it? Insanity! Pure discrimination in an agreement trollingly cloaked in preventing discrimination.
Just read the Brown University agreement and this really jumped out. "The University will not perform gender reassignment surgery or prescribe puberty blockers or hormones to any minor child for the purpose of aligning the child's appearance with an identity that differs from his or her sex."
"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!" The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout:

Twitter ā pre Musk ā excelled at this and now itās destroyed. Breaking news is essentially over in the social graph
Yeah I didnāt scroll down far enough to see the slide deck. Wow is all I can say
Unless this can somehow benefit UNC specifically, something like this belongs in a location that has the road and hospitality infrastructure to support it. Durham, Cary, Raleigh. Not a smallish college town.
Iām choosing to believe this is fake news until I see the slide deck bc itās a non starter for a million reasons. Iām more than open to the idea of a bball arena but a large venue with no specific purpose would be weird
Well I canāt find anything on it but thatās never gonna happen unless theyāre talking about replacing kenan stadium too which is a terrible idea
2/2 obviously thatās insane lol
Is that recent news? I donāt remember seeing that when all this first started breaking in February.
NFL games? I havenāt seen anything like that.

Wake Forest law grad and current ICE attorney alleged to be the operator of a hate-soaked White suprematist twitter account. Really great open-source research.

Unsure if youāre saying they spoiled the survey like a cheap Twitter poll? I believe these online panels are gathered in advance. Hard to spike the results for any particular topic
All this honky gaga for 8 damn wins.
Perhaps itās so low because most traders believe the optics would be terrible for Trump. I suppose thereās an argument that DOJ could strike a deal with her to lessen her sentence in exchange for her testimony without giving her an absolute pardon.
Thatās the one thing North Carolina has done well (historically), allow liberal annexation, unlike VA, GA, and I guess SC?
AI: pronouns for thee but not for me?
Itās same as someone talking about MY BRACKET during Match Madness
I love that
Unfortunately a lack of pro-city policy is not just an issue in Georgia.
ATL is still in the top 10 for housing starts but CLT and RDU are outpacing it constructioncoverage.com/research/cit...
Not sure what youāre saying here contradicts my statement that N.C. and SC are growing much faster than GA and the main reason for that is there are NINE Carolinas MSAs in the top 50 fastest growing MSAs. GA has one ā Gainesville. I agree thereās plenty of space in ATL for growth.
Atlantaās growth streak coming to an end means Georgiaās growth streak is too unlike places like the Carolinas which have multiple MSAās exploding and donāt rely mostly on a single metro for growth
Interesting points but also that was nearly 7 years ago and imo a lot has changed. Not sure those influence campaigns are nearly as effective today
It will not quit here. Just redevelopment over moist ground
He wasnāt wrong
Wettest year on record for CH is 2018 68.95 (Florence and Michael). Already at ~43 inches this year depending on where today ends up. If rainfall is average for rest of year, will rival 2018 for wettest ever.
2/2 I should note that that 13.97ā in Sep 96 is for Chapel Hill. RDU had 16.6ā that month. I bet Chapel Hill is still going to surpass RDUās number
Weāre already at 16ā for July with 12 days to go. To put in perspective, September 96 (Fran) we had 13.97ā for the whole month. No idea what the record is but we have to be close if weāre crushing Sept ā96 already.
Chapel Hill has developed a microclimate. Weāre at 16ā already for July with 12 days to go.
It feels like the type of thing climate scientists predict in disaster movies where the weather conveyer belt has shifted and this is now our reality
Perpetual doom loop of moisture. The Triangle is now a rain forest.
Counterpoint: they will shut up eventually because the story will grow stale. Itās July! These people are bored. Hope Iām wrong.
Iām so sorry. Feel better soon
do we have to
Astronomer doesnāt own the exact match .com or its name so it was never trustworthy to me

This manās great sin was losing his green card and asking for a replacement weāre past āyou had a dui in 1984ā into āif you appear at any ICE office anywhere youāre a quota targetā
Mom is tired
Not sure how hard it would be but the pay off could be huge on specific prediction markets which gives incentive despite the difficulty
Prediction: this will prove to have been prediction market shenanigans
Big loss for the Post. Excited to see what you do next!

I canāt tell which fanbase this is more likely to offend
Really enjoyed that, Ken.
Idk why but āLaptop from Hellā is my favorite. Itās such a sassy description
