I'm thankful for the Clippers getting off to an amazing start this year; Blake, CP3 and DJ still being together on the team; the acquisitions the Clips made in the offseason; and having such a great sub to shitpost and meme in while watching my fav team.

Be safe out there y'all, you guys make me love the sport a whole lot more! Happy thanksgiving! 🦃🦃🦃🔪🔪🔪

I've heard that it refers to the high number of 19th century Irish miners in the United States who managed to find gold, and I've heard that it's an ironic term thanks to Ireland's often troubled history. Do we know when the term was first used, and in what context? If it is related to mining in the United States, was there any similar concept in Ireland or England previously?

How'd it go? Hope you got what you wanted + Clippers gear! Here's to closing out the year strong.

Hey all, as the title says, I'm looking for books on early Italian history. In particular around the late Kingdom / early Republic from about 700BCE to about 200BCE, the time-frame before Roman domination of the peninsula. In particular, I'd like to know about the history of the Samnites, Lucanians, Etruscans, and Magna Graecia.

I realize a lot of the Roman records haven't survived, but I'm more interested in the history of the surrounding area anyway. This might not be the right sub to ask for this seeing as it's not strictly Roman history, but I figure it's the closest available, so hopefully it works. Thanks!

A hypothetical question, at this point. Personally, I think Miami is going to benefit more; they've never really looked right coming out of a long break. But if anyone can take advantage of a break, it's Pop and the Spurs. Thoughts?
