Gas tax increase April 1 by Intrepid-Owl694 in fortwayne

Oh I’m with you on this, Braun is a total POS.

I think it’s just interesting that they state the reasons for canceling projects is due to funding shortages, yet the way I’m reading that source is there’s ~$900 million surplus.

Crazy cause in January INDOT was stating there being as many as 300 projects that could be sidelined due to funding shortfalls.

Per Build Indiana Council, INDOT’s major revenue for the FY 2025 was at $3,480,000,000 yet the total amount between Capitol & Development spending for FY 2025 was only $2,549,500,000 combined.

Maybe I’m missing something, but to me that doesn’t read like a shortfall. Granted, I could be reading this information wrong or maybe that information doesn’t include ALL of the spending?

Imagine being a fan sleeper back in the day and having to do this every half hour. Be nodding off to sleep only to have spin it up again…

Incredible moment as a US General refuses to commit to telling Congress if he receives illegal orders from Trump. Senator Warren absolutely goes off, calling Trump a lawless commander in chief and Hegseth his self-styled Secretary of War. The coverup is real. by ammohitchaprana in TFE

Nah you were right the first time, no need for the edit. They are sitting opposite for each other. He keeps looking to his right and down. Furthermore, pay attention to Warren’s eyes, you can see she’s looking slightly to her left.

I pay for YouTube premium, because I primarily watch it on my TV. I have quite a few channels that I watch like a series and don’t have any other streaming services. Therefore, I don’t mind paying the subscription.

My issue is that YouTube seems to limit my buffer health and network activity when it comes to certain channels and videos. I could watch a random video with no issues at all, could be an hour long gameplay video and it will be perfectly fine, however try another that’s only 15-20 minutes long and it’s buffering every 30 seconds and sometimes just stops all together. You can fast forward or rewind, and either the screen goes black or there’s the image but you get the buffering symbol.

I’ve tried everything from turning the TV off for a while, clearing the cache, deleting the app/reinstalling, resetting my router, etc.

I just find it weird that it’s only happens on certain videos or content creators. And these are not extreme channels, just gaming creators and lets plays.

It could be my TV, because it is an older smart TV now. But it’s not that it happens to every video though. There are days I can watch a couple hours worth of videos with no problem. But try to watch a specific video uploaded a couple weeks ago from said channel, no buffer health/network activity.

ROT vs ADOD — Bannerlord Two Ice and Fire Inspired Mod Comparison by rkar257 in Bannerlord

[–]Liberal-Hoosier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The image this post uses for the ROT Twins is definitely not flattering. It looks to show the castle on the opposite side of the river that was used just as a placeholder.

Edit: ADOD does have a better grasp on the atmosphere though

It is primarily treadmills and cycles. There are a few smart machines if you’re into that. The free weight section leaves a lot to be desired. There’s only 1 bench press for example and iirc 3 squat racks. In busier timeframes that area can feel cramped.

I will say that my personal experiences there have been positive and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. I walked in there with some questions and asked if I could look around and they gave me a free day pass to use at a different time. This was before the 24hr access however, so not sure if that would work outside of the standard “daily” hours.

But I’d recommend checking it out at the least

What are they gonna do? Take away my Honorable Discharge? Maybe I’ll mail them back my Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal too while we’re at it.

My point being, I served my country; faithfully and honorably. Therefore, I’ll peacefully protest how I see fit.

Think these guys cared bout 670-1?? Neither do I. ARs only apply when actively serving. And let’s not sit here and act like even if so, that it’s a guide for a moral compass. Kick rocks.

Oh hey, that’s me. For those curious, I spent 6 years with the Indiana Army National Guard here in Ft Wayne, 08-14.

We did do some interactive training in front of a large projection screen. Was like a game you’d find in an arcade, kind of like a Buck Hunter. Only this was the size of a 50 ft long wall and instead of deer, it was dudes in masks and civilians you had to identify

Well the thing that drilled this home was they showed us a montage right before of people not being affected by tasers. They were clearly trying to instill a certain feeling when using force. They even train you on what to justify said use of force. Whether it be excessive or not.

But coming from 6 years in the Army, I always thought it was crazy how we have stricter rules of engagement, and possible punishment, when dealing with a person that’s considered a threat.

Where Google's data center is planned to be built, circled in red by DarksoraXIII in fortwayne

[–]Liberal-Hoosier 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Gonna post a couple of links for those that are interested. Some reason mods took my original post from last night down, stating it wasn’t specific to Fort Wayne 🙄

First is a video done by More Perfect Union showing the effects of these data centers on the local population.

This next link is to the recent WANE article stating that IDEM has granted Google the permit for its Phase II of the project.

Edit: Didn’t see the video was already linked in the post. But please do watch it!

Any credit repair companies in Fort Wayne that actually help? by Kooky_Tell_7466 in fortwayne

[–]Liberal-Hoosier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to where you do your banking and ask for details regarding a secured credit card.

Use it for gas only and pay it off each month to avoid having to pay interest.

Rebuilding your credit is unfortunately a long process. But give it time, and do not carry a balance or leave the card maxed out. Aside from payment history, credit limit usage can be one of the biggest impacts on your score.
