Murnanes literally dominate half of the 350+ population of the Letterlickey valley of the Coraigh Parish, then Dalys have about 70 or so and a few other surnames are speckled due to having only daughters and so on. I'm cousins with all murnanes as we lived on the land since the local Lord White owned all of Bantry. There is a book on our interconnectedness and we are cousins with the dalys to in a lot of instances. My friends finds it really weird that there are 80+ or so households where we are at most 5th cousinsfrom eachother, with many many more in areas just a few miles away, as that's how much a marriage match usually goes as far as.

      I thought they already did.
      Fun fact...when i was a Mormon missionary serving in Orderville Utah, i noticed the sisters in my district that serviced Colorado City (they were not white, so they were safe from kidnapping but not from racism), their are also covered this Hollywood town.
      My dumbass brought it up with any leader I could that we should have someone go down there at least once to see if anyone there needed anything, service, whatever. I heard randomly that after i gave up on it, the sisters did at some point go there and it was just a Hollywood set. Far away from anything. They wasted over 4 hours and lots of miles getting there. Not to mention they dont like driving out to nowhere unlike me.
      In my defense i only advocated it because i thought theyd do what I did and talk to the locals first before going, and i had done the sme thing successfully myself when i was in Enoch Utah. I went out to Lund, which has a population of 2.5 and the 2 permanent residents were actually hoping sometime missionaries would just plop on theie doorstep...despite them living an hours drive from the nearest house. And that house was almost a farsee away from the nearest community. This kind of secretly hoping stuff is pretty common. But anyway, happy ending there.

The Wendover Nugget and Montego Bay, being casinos, are of course in Nevada, but both of them have a good chunk of their parking in Utah. On google maps the Montego Bay’s hotel awning (where you’d temporarily park while checking in to the hotel) pokes into Utah a bit, though I’m not sure that’s real and not google drawing the border a bit wrong. Across the street though, you can definitely park in a parking structure in Utah and walk across a bridge into Nevada and directly into the Wendover Nugget casino. There’s also an enclosed “skybridge” between the two casinos across the main street through town, just a bit on the Nevada side of the border, but it’s the bridge across the border itself that tickles my interest.

    I really don't get these "legal" definitions of what a town, city or whatever is. A town is an urban human settlement with 100,000-250,000 people living there. Less than a city, more than a village.

    Does Nebula cover content besides ‘casual educational’? I watch a lot of that, but I also watch stuff on D&D and other roleplaying games, and some that’s a mix of topics. UA-cam has been trying to shed viewers for a while now by increasing the number and length of ads, then blocking people who use security measures like VPNs which also block many ads. I’d rather buy a Nebula subscription than one for UA-cam premium, but it seems like Nebula only covers a subset of the topics I’m interested in.

      Isn't it a bit like choosing a car to represent 2004? Yeah they were the most popular transport option, but they also were in 1984 and will be in 2024 so it's not very representative of 2004 in particular
