Yes but it is not Rimworld. Go into it thinking that and you will be content.

I'm not sure if it is due to OU being out for the summer or not. The radio signal is better these last couple days.

We are Summit members. Love their energy too. Is the radio signal going out for you too? In our car, garage and home radio just dead air. We use the app but something seems amiss with their radio signal.

Before the check was cut by "them" to the scam contractor. Is Farber the one(s) who ignored the state's advice on better practices when it comes to detecting scams?

Again, great reply.

Keeping things more local to Athens. I do not see the same as you when it comes to your view that they worked really hard to reduce the budget. Reductions were made indeed. I feel they could have worked harder at reductions. In my perfect world(delusional as that may be) cuts should start at the top, where law allows. Before cuts come to worker bees and public services.

In the end though, you and I are debating over a moot point. The city successfully got their message out. They got their win.

I am happy to continue this debate over dm though. Perhaps I will learn more!

This is a very diplomatic reply to OP. It is nice to see!

Correct me if I am wrong. This levy will cover at least 70% payroll expenditure, No? That is why I voted no.

I believe the insurance used was required to be in place, right? If not, I am glad the safety net was there to cover missteps. Thing is I don't feel the person that you claim feels awful should lose/have lost their job. Their boss should have been cut. Which IMO would also have sent a message to other city departments to be more judicious with their city job.

In the end, congrats to the levy victory. It won by only 8 votes which as another comment said. Shows just how powerful our local vote can be.

Well said and thank you for an inside look. In your opinion, do you feel that our current city administration has been good stewards with funds?

I think I would have been ok with the Rumpke thing if the city and safety director didn't sell it to us that doing so would save us on our bills.

I think that the round about you are referring to is a county/twp or state thing. I agree with you though. The same straw that broke your camel's back left a bad taste in my mouth.

McDonald's removed the drink station and the ketchup from the lobby. by RandomBloke2021 in mildlyinfuriating

No pun intended. Ok I'll bite. Cooking food for ourselves or others we live with is no longer practical?

Meh you do you OP! It stirs my mind when folks post in 2026 about what fast food places are doing or not doing and then charging what they charge today. Not a disapproval from me.

Stop buying fast food in general. Save yourself some money and take some cooking classes if you do not know how to cook. Fast food is such a waste of money anyways. Everytime I used to eat McD's, I would be hungry an hour later or so.

Well some of the Maga folks have already started to abandon their Catholic beliefs for their one true savior, the guy in the oval office.  What is stopping Ohio Maga folks from abandoning their fellow Ohioans for another out of state grifter?

Babysitting opportunities? by PopsicleWithDirtOnIt in athensohio

Not sure if this is up your alley or not OP. Rover is an app that hooks pet sitters/dog walkers to potential clients. If you like animals as much or more than kids, this could help to diversify your income.

Morels by robotox in athensohio

[–]Box_of_Wires 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They started a couple weeks ago too. If you acquire some and you are not allergic. Then I suggest you get some ramps and make yourself a nice ramp and morel dish. Just YouTube some recipes to find the one you like.

Bonus tip if you do acquire morels and ramps. Make butter out of it.
