Kids are stupid, man. My dad had me helping him set up his lovely MLM poo poo at whatever bullshit place he got a booth that week. I bought into that poo poo regularly because my grandparents supported his dumb poo poo, mortgaged the farm over it, and would just roll on with the next BIG thing.

Those kids have no goddamn idea what the real world is and don't understand what's going on in front of them. It's a goddamn circus to them.

This is the town that shut off its street lights to save money, right?

I don't think so? The streetlights along my road come on at night, so probably not. Even then, there's a half million people here, cutting off street lights is probably low on the list of things since there was a budget surplus in the city last year.

Cop was shot around 3am and they still had a sizable swath of town locked off from traffic at lunch, probably still. He was responding to a shots fired randomly in the streets call, apparently. He was still in critical condition when I saw the news blurb on lunch.

It's a shame too because the springs and the surrounding areas are absolutely gorgeous. It's just a chud refuge.

You can manage to avoid the chuds to some extent. They generally don't partake in the nature stuff here, or if they do, it's to the visitor center and the high points then back to their vans or suvs.

Traffic is goddamn retarded though. All the countrys' worst drivers in one place.

Harvard cuts Gen X off at 1985 or so. Boomers were '46-65, gen X was '66-85ish. Millenials 85ish-05, then whatever they call kids now. About a decade ago I heard the '06- kids were going to be called Digital Natives or some poo poo, but haven't heard it since and it's probably because of the Native part.

I had some friends from trade school from Ohio that I went and visited after I got back from deployment in 2005. Small town people, reminded me of small town Illinois. I drove to Nova Scotia on that trip, so Ohio was easily the most forgettable part, and was on the way back.

I meant in terms of social progress and poo poo, Ohio is kinda beyond those states I mentioned in the other post. If we balanced what states were great by their food and partying, Florida would be suspiciously out of place.


Georgia can just burn in loving hell. I've never had a positive experience in Georia cities or with Georgian people. Beautiful mountains and countryside, but Sherman hosed up by not burning every structure to the ground and salting the path behind him.

My sister, also a premie, cost $3.2M if you adjust for inflation. My parents had to pay $200,000 out of pocket, even with both of them being well insured.

A cousin of mine was a month or so early, same situation with insurance, uncle still had to take out against his house, back in the 90s.

This niece of mine being two months early is breaking some family records, so the hospital bill before insurance should be a record too.

If that's the case, eliminating the need for burying conduit and access points throws tons of money back into the budget. But army being army, it probably runs through six inch pipe to concrete junctions.

PVC conduit encased in concrete, meeting at manholed concrete junctions. That being an airport, the standards are higher, so it's probably not the regular thing everywhere.

Hooters usually slings Tyson wings. Or at least the one I cooked at in 2014 did. They're better quality than I saw when I cooked at Buffalo Wild Wings, usually larger too. If you got lovely wings at Hooters, it's usually because it's overcooked, or one of the two dozen plus sauces was a bad choice.

That said, the mens restroom was always cleaner than the womens. They paid better than the local bars I worked at previous to it, too. The volume is goddamn insane though, so if you go during a rush, you're waiting 20+ minutes for chicken.

The fried pickles and that burger with pico/guac are loving great though.
