Hello! Apologies if this isn't the correct place to ask this question - but I figured it would be a good place to start

I'm doing some research for a project and I'm trying to wrap my head around the formation of the Appalachian Mountains and the Allegheny Plateau (specifically southeastern Ohio).

From what I've gathered so far - The mountains were first formed as part of the Central Pangean Mountain Chain when Laurussia and Gondwana collided. Rivers and streams began to flow down from the mountains and formed a large delta to the north and northwest.

Then, over time, the mountains slowly eroded down fairly small. At the same time, Pangea began to break up, and the release of the pressure caused the mountains to further subside until they were eventually under water and formed the Appalachian Basin.
Then, during the cenozoic era, uplift began again and the mountains began to rise once more. The delta and part of the sea floor to the northwest also began to rise and that formed the Allegheny Plateau, hence why it's flat (except where it's been eroded away, of course).

Am I anywhere close to being right on any of this? I am NOT a geologist, but I'm really fascinated by these events and really want to get my facts straight.

Thanks!!

Training

For some background/context, I ran a 2:22:12 last April at the Glass City marathon for 2nd place in a somewhat tactical race with a good negative split. Following that race I ran the 4 state challenge on the Appalachian trail and then started to get back to training a bit. Unfortunately, an IT band injury sidelined me for a bit in June and I really didn't feel completely healthy until early July.

Ever since I started running again in late 2017, I have been self coached. The combination of feeling that my training gains were starting to plateau and also the desire to make significant gains for the upcoming training cycle changed this and I hired a coach.

The general plan my coach and I made was to build towards the Cherry Blossom 10 miler/ USATF 10 mile championship Sept 12 and then onwards to a marathon cycle. I will say that the adjustment to being coached was difficult for me, and the early months involved lots of adjustments to training on both sides. I hopped in a competitive local 5k and got the win August 8th in 14:57 a few weeks into this new training. This was encouraging but I still had some doubts. I was running 70ish miles a week with long runs no further than 16 miles. For me this felt like I was barely training, as I had been used to 100 mile weeks and 18-20+ pretty much every weekend for a while now. The end result of this summer block was a 51:36 10 mile on a humid DC day. Far from the result I had wanted and no where close to the shape I had been in the previous cycle.

From there we made some major adjustments to training, upping the mileage and intensity of workouts as we switched to the marathon training block targeting either CIM or Houston. One major caveat of this training plan was that I had decided to defend my title at the Baltimore mar

Be safe out there!

Another winter weather system will affect the region Thursday into Thursday night with more snowfall accumulations expected.

Highest snowfall totals are expected along the northern Cumberland Plateau into Southwest Virginia with 3 to 6 inches possible .

The southern Appalachian Mountains could see snowfall totals of 3 to 6 or more inches, with the heaviest amounts at the tops of the mountains.

In the Valley snowfall totals from a dusting up to around 4 inches are possible, with lower amounts in southeast Tennesee, and the higher amounts in northeast Tennessee.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Hi, I'm Tim Earley, creator of Holler: An Appalachian Apocalypse. Ask me anything. I'm joined by Tracy Sizemore, my co-creator, and Christopher Landauer from Pinnacle Entertainment Group, creators of Savage Worlds.  We'll be taking your questions for an hour. Holler is currently funded and has unlocked all stretch goals on Kickstarter. There are few a hours left in the campaign!:

Tim Earley was born and raised in the Sandy Mush community of Rutherford County, North Carolina. He is the author of five collections of poems, including Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery (2014), winner of the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Award, and Linthead Stomp (2016). He's the recipient of writing fellowships from the Fine Arts Works Center in Provincetown and Hawthornden Castle in Lasswade, Scotland. Currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of English at the University of Mississippi, he teaches online courses in Appalachian literature, fantasy literature, and creative writing.

About Holler:

Holler is a roleplaying game of adventure, rebellion, fairy tale, and gothic horror in Appalachia. It requires the Best Selling, multiple award winning Savage Worlds rules (sold separately).

In Holler, the mysterious "Big Boys" own the mines, mills, and logging operations. They rule over every aspect of their workers’ lives—subjecting them to extraordinary dangers on the job and crushing oppression outside of it.

The Big Boys have transformed the land of the Holler—rivers bubble with strange chemicals, strip-mined mountains crumble into valleys, and the air is choked with a toxic fog known as the Blight.

The flora and fauna of the Holler grow more monstrous by the day. Demons of every description lurk in the forests. Mutant cryptids haunt villages with their strange cries and appetites. Vengeful haints leer from abandoned shacks and lonely cliffs.

No one is coming to save the people of Holler. They've got to take matters into their own hard-worked hands. It'll take miners, granny women, gougers, moonshiners, bluegrass pickers, and holy rollers willing to fight and die to protect their culture, customs, and families. Folks who have the bravery to stare straight into the abyss and spit in its eye.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

View Poll

1. Hebra - Alaska. Cold, snowy, full of cold-dwelling wildlife like moose, boreal forest (pine trees), and mountainous.
2. Tabantha - Idaho. Cool and dry, and full of tall mountains. Has plenty of rocks and evergreen trees, and there are many clear lakes in Tabantha and in Idaho.
3. Ridgeland - Montana. The comparisons are pretty similar to Tabantha.
4. Gerudo Highlands - Utah. The elevation of Utah can cause cold, snowy winters. The Gerudo Highlands are that way as well. Plus in both Utah and the Highlands, the rocks are red.
5. Gerudo Wasteland - Nevada. The Gerudo Desert is like the Great Basin; surrounded by mountains and very sandy with some plant life here and there. Nevada can also get extremely cold at night, just like the Gerudo Wasteland.
6. Woodland - Arkansas. The thick woods of the Woodland region reminded me of my trip to the Ozarks.
7. Central Hyrule - Illinois. Central Hyrule's borders are rivers, just like how Illinois's borders are too. Central Hyrule is also largely plains and good farmland like Illinois. Although Castle Town was destroyed by Ganon, it does remind me of Chicago, being a big city for Hyrule.
8. Great Plateau - Minnesota. The 'summer' part of the Plateau is green and mild. The 'winter' part is cold and snowy. Just like Minnesota. Also, the trees in the east and grasslands in the west are like Minnesota's geography.
9. Lake - Texas. Not necessarily the lake per se, but the rest of the region is like Texas; hot and dry grasslands in the west. Forests in the east. And an ocean to the south.
10. Eldin - Hawaii. The island state is known for its volcanoes, just like how Eldin has Death Mountain. The parts that aren't volcanic in Eldin are like the dry side of Hawaii; rain never falls in Eldin, and rain can be uncommon in some parts of Hawaii. Also the Gorons seem to based on Polynesian culture.
11. Akkala - Maine. The fall scenery reminds me of a New England fall. The ocean view with the colorful leaves just screams Maine. It is also cool but not too cold like a Maine fall. Also Maine is in the northeastern corner of the USA, just like Akkala is the northeastern corner of Hyrule.
12. Lanayru - North Carolina. The hills and mountains of Lanayru are like the Appalachians; cool and wet. North Carolina is one of the rainier states just like Lanyru is a rainy region. The fact that Lanayru has an eastern coast is just like North Carolina.
13. Dueling Peaks - West Virginia. Has plenty of tall peaks (but not too tall like the Rockies)

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

A play on words.

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!
