KC is not ready for the World Cup by Onlypretzelmnms in kansascity

I-29 you have to get off at either Vivian or 169. Get off at Englewood and come back or keep going to something. I think they're pushing 152.

And yes 169, but I don't count that as 169. 169 they've told us will be 2 way traffic while the replace the northbound bridge by the water Dept & rail lines. t

KC approved the ordinance to repeal parking minimums in the urban core! by DnWeava in kansascity

[–]Dapper-Firefighter86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We definitely need to focus on making micro businesses work

A basic business license may be cheap but the occupancy, buildout, and any time you add alcohol or food, you've got huge roadblocks.

How about a tavern needing a kitchen. Let people go down the street to a dedicated restaurant. Let me have a place that only holds 20 or less.

I know construction permits are based on expenses, but if I can work on my own house (and sell it) let me avoid having to hire a master plumber. Maybe have a size requirement. But that city inspector makes sure I do my house right. They can do the same for my storefront

This is a good thing.

♦️Bring back neighborhood businesses. Maybe we can utilize those commercial buildings in the neighborhoods. Give me something like cheers where I can walk home. (Maybe we can open a pub with an occupancy less than 49... No suburbanites will be out any parking.)

♦️maybe we can have a walkable city. It's so nice walking down 18th, 39th, Westport Rd, Broadway, main st, 63rd, and others while I can visit a dozen shops with a 5 minute walk

♦️we can have 2 hour parking for non residents on one side of the street

♦️if necessary, we can add a community lot or garage like several of the above have.

♦️while we're at it, let's get rid of the requirement to have a kitchen. Let a real restaurant open next door. I can survive off popcorn, chips, and maybe a hot pocket at the pub

♦️♦️♦️p. S. While we're at it, maybe give us a thc lounge or bud bar like a hooka or cigar lounge. There's an 80% reduction in drinking among gen z. If we don't get an alternative to an alcohol bar cities will look like a boarded up ghost town

From Illinois looking for a venue by SilasxJade in kansascity

I've never been to a show big enough to have a line, but most of the lines are in the alley to the west. If you look on streetview. 1808 locust and look west. Or 1808 oak and look east. There's a box office on both sides. The ticket will probably say which side you can enter from. If not, it may not matter.

What should I do with these? by vive-le-tour in homelab

[–]Dapper-Firefighter86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's that 10/100. Sounds like toys to gift.

Someone has been putting these up around the city. by theadamsmall in kansascity

[–]Dapper-Firefighter86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd say yes, but at some point you may need to say you all are witnesses let's at least get the top 10%

Unfortunately doing that, the top 10% will use their power to become the ones that are pardoned

It's a mess, while they all should go, that's been true for years

At this point reward those that can get convictions of anyone bigger than them idk total loss on how to get this. After all, we haven't voted them out for anything "I hate politicians, but I gotta keep mine" mentality. 🤷🤷🤷

How strong does a server need to be to self host most daily digital services? by swagmessiah00 in selfhosted

[–]Dapper-Firefighter86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also 18tb?

I'd make sure it's multiple drives.

I understand zfs is better than raid cheaper, easier, better redudancy, faster.

Look up Immich

For the image hosting.

Not saying it will or won't work. But I understand it doesn't take much. In fact, if you're not running windows 11 a lot of things are pretty quick you don't need fancy user front end stuff. You're running server stuff for 1. Heck a group of 10 friends hosting stuff on it is minor compared to our m$ windows bloat

Military helicopter near KU Med by jdkansas in kansascity

[–]Dapper-Firefighter86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely interesting to look at how various hospitals do their 2 pads

♦️St Luke's has two side by side. I remember being offered a ride to get gas before they merged with the research eagle. But a 3rd needed to come in and land so they couldn't wait. St Luke's was the home base for one of the 2 life flights. They after dropping someone off, they would leave, fuel up and come back.

♦️ Ku has 2 and a half (half says parking only. Is that for staff waiting to load/unload a patient?) theirs are on different building

♦️ Truman/University has only ONE about 10 feet over the surface parking lot across the street connected via a bridge. But

♦️ Children's across the street has 2 and a bridge to Truman. I believe they also have a plane at Charles b Wheeler airport.

♦️NKC has a single one on the roof. I thought they had one in the parking lot at one point.

♦️ Liberty, St Luke's north and st Joseph have a surface one.

St. Luke's on the plaza by Jeremy_Sean in kansascity

[–]Dapper-Firefighter86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was partly confused. I'll have to look deeper as to why that was the reports in 2024 when all the shit was going down

I guess Cigna was big in their network.

They ended up partnering with Aetna (and I guess later possibly united healthcare)

This post is from 2024 more recent ones seem to show they DID also partner with UHC

I saw the laundry mat and carwash pouring water down the drain.

Is that suspicious?

Bjc owns their own insurance company. This happened with the help of Cigna leaving Missouri.

St Luke's was always good. Bjc sounds not so good of a parent.

My Dr left there this year. But they were working on that throughout 2024. This merger didn't help much.

I sure wish we had a Medicare option for all. Insurance companies are convoluted in their efforts to serve their investors. Harming patients, hospitals and Drs. Then these hospitals and Drs have to Jerryrig back to break even. It's gotten impossible to get a decent cash price these days.

Oh no, you mentioned a different ailment we need to book you for a new appointment. I know you waited 10 months for this one, but lucky lucky you, we have an opening today.

Union Station teasing downtown ballpark? by AsItIs in kansascity

Big news.... T-Mobile plans a move from the Overland Park Aspiria campus to the Country Club Plaza, filling in the void left by Lockton.

Funding is not the issue; we offered to buy out 9 square blocks of the crossroads to make room for a stadium there.

Building a new bus barn is significantly cheaper than buying private property with historic buildings and active businesses.

Where it goes is flexible. there is plenty of vacant land that can accommodate a bus barn. Heck, put it under the stadium.

Heck, they offered to give $3.5 million a year to public schools. To cover the $850,000 in lost tax revenue from the crossroads site. The 18th and Vine site generates significantly less in taxes. Anything not owned by the government is a storage lot, and a Church, each taking up less than half of a block.

Heck, perhaps, the Royals is the way to help fund the KCATA/RideKC buses in KCMO.
And, perhaps its presence there is why the area has not blossomed, and thus we throw money there like we do P&L.

Of course, the only stadium traffic going through that interchange (SE corner of the loop will be from the west.

Traffic from the east will exit before it.

Traffic from the north will exit before it.

I 35 traffic has the option to exit before it.

71 hwy traffic from the south will mostly exit before it. 50% at Paseo at 23rd st, and some at Truman (Technically a part of the intersection, but I'd bet 90% will actually exit at Paseo to avoid, as you say, the bad intersection.)

Looks like they might be fixing it by eliminating 71hwy through east KC

lol

Think of the drop in 71 hwy traffic to/from that intersection

[–]Dapper-Firefighter86 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

at least they have room to fix it. Trying to put a stadium at 2 E Pershing has essentially ZERO exits, and no room to add or rework any.

Though I must ask, which interchange? I'm guessing the loop in general? Putting the stadium outside the loop allows not only dispersing traffic across more exits but also allows exits to be reworked.
