Coach Prime Needs To Find House 1 Mile From Campus
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
Where did Coach Rod live? The answer to that probably puts this discussion to rest.
Next to a buffet.
Underneath his sled.
A better look at his house. It has some really cool features.
The geothermal heating/cooling is pretty cool. Should never have to run the AC and only need to run the furnace sparingly.
That was what I thought was really cool. I've never heard of that before.
Wonder what drives the county requirement for a 7 min fire suppression system? Is it square footage, or simply distance from a fire station. Out here, you live in the country, your house just gonna burn down.
Umm ...... didn't you see how bad the fire was in Superior 14 months ago?
Didn't it start in the prairie?

It is a requirement for houses of certain square footage and age for fire prevention reasons. A county that includes a lot of wildland-urban interfaces susceptible to fire can adopt building codes to lessen the collective risk posed by acts of god. The same rationale drives requirements for seismic reinforcement in areas near active fault lines.
Yeah you just have to run the heat a little bit in the summer.
Not if you have a whole house fan. You just run it at day instead of night.
Or just open a window
The word "literally" has been in use for centuries and you can't seem to figure it out. Sooooo....*
*Unless you were literally shocked, in which case I apologize.

My English skills apparently have deteriorated, as the internet has expanded.
Using "literally" to emphasize a point that isn't actually true, seems like correct usage.
It is literally the opposite of that.
It "seems like it" -- i think you hit the nail in the head re: why this happens so much.
It's wrong, but it feels right.

Hum.
- INFORMAL
used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.
"I was literally blown away by the response I got"
Okay. That's not what it means, which is maybe why it is under the "informal" (also known as "incorrect") definition and not the, you know, actual definition.
There is a difference between a definition and acknowledging that a lot of people use a word incorrectly.
Also note how the word "literally" is used correctly in the (informal) definition that you provided. That should blow your mind, but it probably won't.
You just literally blew my mind.
You are the wind beneath my wings. Figuratively, of course.
If using the word “literally” incorrectly is wrong, I literally don’t wanna be right!
