"TL;DR: people move where their jobs are, or where they can afford to live, sometimes this is the same place. They leave places where it is too expensive or the job opportunities are limited." Bingo. California and New York are, to a certain extent, victims of their own success. Housing is...

You mean only being open during the times when most people eat? I dunno. Probably a business decision of some sort.

Is this a real question?

Brad wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 8:02 amYou have the name spelled wrong. We have a thread for this restaurant under the correct spelling so I moved you post in to it.

Having your spelling corrected by Brad is probably the worst thing that could ever happen to someone.

FWIW assuming they can prove it, the landlord and the other tenants' insurance companies should be able to go after them for losses.

Doug McDermott hasn't aged well.

Yeah fair that was directed at the “royal you”, not “you” specifically.

You have a GOP that is openly hostile to things like science and actual education, also happens to control the state legislature and the Governor's office, and whose social policies are as opposite the typical Highly Educated Young Person® demographic as you can get. WOW do people think is going to ...

Yes the original promise of Facebook / social media was pretty compelling. Getting back in touch with old friends, professional networking, sharing of niche interests, etc. Then you find out half your friends and family are closet Klan members and the shine wears off pretty quick.

"Becoming"...?

That's cute.

Aw, it's been awhile since we've had a "I could make that at home better for eight bucks" thread from someone that thinks Spaghetti Works is good Italian. I miss those eOmaha days.

Assuming you're allowing "metro areas" and not cities proper, Minneapolis and St Paul, MN, would fit this criteria as well.

Between cost of materials, cost of land, mostly reasonable fire codes, decades upon decades of absolutely unreasonable SF housing zoning, and the general regional attitude against not owning a house in the 'burbs with a giant lawn near a "wink wink good school" with a government-backed mor...

But based on today's prices that firehouse would be worth around $15 million, so not a bad investment.

Honestly better PR than Pillen these days though.

Lee Enterprises as a whole is basically on life support now, too. Down from a nearly $3 billion market cap 20 years ago to $63 million today. The one thing the OWH owned that is still worth something - thier land and buildings - wasn't even part of the purchase of the newspaper. I'm not sure I can m...

There's only one reason to defend the elctoral college in 2023, and that's if your party hasn't had a non-incumbent candidate win a popular vote election since 1988. All of the concerns about the tyranny of the majority (which, coincidentally, no one talks about at all ever unless its when defending...

Elimination of the Electoral College instantly turns 35 of the states into second class citizens as NY, FL, TX, and CA can easily outvote entire states. This statement is idiotic. In 2020 more people voted for Trump in California than in Texas. This is an actual true science fact, should one care t...

I remember a few years ago the death penalty was up for vote. 80% of the votes said to abolish the death penalty. Pete Ricketts blew a gasket and said something like "the results do not reflect my personal views." So he threw a huge temper tantrum to have a re-vote done. Hmmm.... funny ho...

Just stopping by to call bull sh!t on the "the US is a republic" nonsense... Both issues the OP brought up are state issues. Nebraska has a unicameral, which is supposed to be "the people's chamber" or whatever. If you were born and grew up here like I was, you were reminded of t...

My bad. They opened as ten point favorites.

I bet you're fun at parties.

Nebraska is 38-57 since Pete Ricketts became governor. They were 81-12-1 with 3 NCs under Ben Nelson.

Not a coincedence.

On the bright side, next week's opponent Northern Illinois just lost to 1-AA Southern Illinois.

So they'll prob be favored by 13.5 and still find a way to lose at home.

For some quick math: $3.60 / gal for regular in Omaha metro @ 30 MPG = $12 per 100 miles @ 20 MPG = $18 per 100 miles $0.13 / kwh (my avg residential rate, not broken into peak/off peak) @ 2.5 miles per kwh = $5.20 per 100 miles Still prob not enough to move the needle strictly on dollars for most p...

That new charging station at the Hy-Vee on 90th and center has been quite busy lately and I’ve noticed most of the Tesla’s in there have Nebraska plates, and most of them have the Douglas Sarpy Lancaster version of the plates..

I can only base this off when I bought mine in 2015 or whatever it was. I purchased mine "online" after a test drive in another state. Went to the "showroom" (technically there were no "dealers" anywhere at the time) then walked over to a computer (in the showroom) and ...

Will start the season 0-2. 2-10 is a very, very real possibility at this point - especially if Sims either gets hurt or can't stop throwing to the wrong team. 4-8 seems more likely. But looking at what was supposed to be a "go bowling schedule", I see Louisiana Tech and Northwestern (mayb...

Hopefully Nebraska crossing can pick up the pieces after this one.

Notre Dame is the only reason the Big Ten has to expand period full stop.

It will happen in due time once NBC or network to be determined later throws down the cash and says "this is the deal".

If Miami and Florida State came along for the ride, bonus but not necessary.
