bro, your mistake was eating the beef, instead of whatever the locals were making for themselves. there was always a long ass line for that shit, but it was always the best chow in the place.
i went to high school in Texas in the 90s. One of the options for senior English was "the Bible as and in literature", where they did what it says on the tin - studied the christian bible as a work of literature, and also ways the bible was used in literature.
it was an aggressively non-religious class that focused on the bible because of its cultural importance, and some of my friends that started out nominally christian stopped identifying as such after reading the bible for class (some of them for the first time ever).
That's how you teach (just) the bible in school. Not whatever the hell they are doing now.
it's also completely possible that your Republican friends "liked" Bernie in the same way that they "like" Carter: they recognize that he's a good guy personally, but dislike his politics enough to not vote for him.
a 2 person tent is pretty tight with 2 actual humans in it. That being said, i picked up the Alps Helix from REI a couple years ago and have been very satisfied with it
Running a motor at or near its mechanical limit for long periods is very bad for it and also is less efficient (in terms of fuel economy). That's why cars are "capable" of 140mph, even though there is nowhere you can actually drive that fast except for race tracks.
