    Why did they add AI basketballs to the carpeted basketball court

    That doesn't even look like the good kind of carpeted basketball court.

    Maybe it's possible to do worse than a McMansion with 43 gables - like airplane hanger inspired architecture with zero gables. The bill for decorating this place must've involved a 5-figure expenditure at Home Goods for stupid signs and other bumpkin kitsch. Yes, this is Colorado, but is big-time Trump country, Boebert's new district.

    The decor aside, the whole combo shitter/shower is still cracking me up like there just wasn't enough room in that space for anything more than a tiny home shitter

    I’ve only been to Rice once but I thought it was a p nice campus. I really like the tree lined streets. Made it feel less urban personally.
