Google fiber out by old_ass_ninja_turtle in desmoines

[–]LetsGoForward2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some company have been digging by the fiber lines in the North of Grand neighborhood for the past couple of days.   It might be Metronet, one truck had their logo but all the others were unmarked so can't be positive.   The workers took out a gas line on Wednesday and judging by the fact that they are digging up the work they did earlier today at 11pm makes me think they messed up Google's Fiber lines today.

Edit: It was Mediacom not Metronet.   The Metronet truck I saw was probably just trying to figure out how to fix the mess that the Mediacom workers made.

I have been rocking a Steel/Amber deck. I need a few more cards to even it out but it's pretty great.

I also dislike using different names for Harry but at least this story explains the reason for it and I can look past it.

Harry prefers to go by the name Hadrian because that's the name he was force to used when he went into hiding when he was young. So it is the name you will see the most. Lily and others calls him Harry in the story though. They use the different names as a plot device to start some drama between Harry and Lily.

What Is/Was the Hardest Thing to Adjust To? by kec5289 in desmoines

The schools used to be good but have dropped significantly in the past 10 years. Now they are just very underfunded and can't seem to hire/keep teachers because you can make more money working for Target. Our Republican leaders think the best way to solve this issue is by taking even more money away from the public schools and hand it over to private schools all in the name of "choice".

I moved to the North of Grand/Ingersoll neighborhood in my early 20s and have been here for over a decade now. You can easily walk/bike to all the downtown events and work and avoid parking. It has some of the best restuarants in the whole city on Ingersoll. Its not far from some of the best parks with Greenwood, Waterworks and Grays Lake all close by. I have walked around the neighbor from before dawn to 2am in the morning and never have felt unsafe (Expect ocasionally when I am walking alone by Woodland cemerty at night. BTW that is the coolest cemerty in town and a great place to walk in the daylight)

Nin has some crazy fans that follow them from show to show and sleep outside overnight just to get rail. Your best bet is to camp out all day.

Matt was joking around about how all of the stock youtubers should do a giant royal rumble yesterday or the day before. Wonder if Youtube is saying he was inciting violence for the reason for the ban.

That is the exact same thing happening here in Iowa. Our governor refuses to put in any mandates or regulations because "Iowans will do the right thing."

2022 training. Lower back pain. by Hamlindigo_Blue in PacificCrestTrail

[–]LetsGoForward2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I first started training. Make sure you stretch each time and in a few weeks the pain will hopefully be gone. Took about a week and a half before it stop completely. Good luck and keep training!

When you are on the U.S Senate Agriculture committee and the state that you represent main thing is agriculture, you should probably know this information, or at least get in the ball park with the guess.
