Getting 0 yards, a false start, and a starter ejected for targeting is definitely one of the opening drives of all time.

Guys I'm starting to think Arkansas State might not be able to pull this one off

Oh yeah, I make no claim that any of my experiences are anywhere near universal. Basically no part of the American experience is.

Or driving in general. As an American who didn't get a driver's license until I was 21 (gasp! so old) due to some reasons, I can attest that many, many people here simply can't comprehend the idea of someone over 17 or so not having one. I got turned away from a hotel once because they didn't know how to use a passport as an ID.

The only other people I've met with this problem were immigrants. And we were always able to bond over lamentations of how difficult it is to solve this problem... the entire system to get a license here is built around the assumption that everyone does it in high school, so every step of the way is some roadblock like "simply drive to your driving test appointment"...

Yeah, a small village. It would have been a half-hour bus ride to the town of ~5000, but they couldn't compel all students to get a passport, and the nearest pool in the US would have been about an hour and a half away, so it was never part of the curriculum. Some kids had their parents drive them to Canada after school for private (expensive?) swimming lessons, but it wasn't standard.

American here. The nearest swimming pool to my hometown was in Canada. So no.

Edit: I don't think this is normal

Yes, but there's no point in comparing ourselves to those now that they're going away...

I moved my .dev to NameSilo to live with the rest of my domains, since luckily that's allowed now. See here for the list of options if you have any Google Registry domains (.dev, .app, .new, etc.). Make sure to uncheck "Show preferred partners only" if you don't care which ones have given Google more money or whatever that means.

FWIW the comms I've seen suggest Squarespace has agreed to actually offer standalone domains as part of this deal... I doubt that's binding in the long term though, and they'll certainly want to get people to use their signature site builder product.

I know Google Cloud Domains (previously separate from Google Domains) is being deprecated too, but I don't know if those domains are also automatically moving to Squarespace. Seems weird if they do that, since it would drive people directly to one of Cloud's main competitors... but they're driving people away from Cloud anyway with this so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I imagine the ones the middle managers use internally are safe.. that is, the main Workspace apps (I think that's what they're called now? you know... Docs, Sheets, Forms, Slides, Calendar, Chat).

And the few Cloud services that are actually running things like YouTube (Spanner, ... actually I think that's the only publicly available one)
