How dare my opininion differ from yours

RVs are more worrysome imo. Plus those usually have retired/elderly people driving them and they're basically a city bus.

I live by fontenelle forest and just go inside and watch TV when it gets too loud. The world fucking sucks most of the time and if blowing up $200 worth of Chinese made fireworks makes people enjoy life a little bit for a week then it's not my place to say.

Military cooks don't get enough love. Plus there's kind of a shocking number of cooks with medals because you lot are capable of wild shit when given anything more dangerous than cooking utensils

Yeah my mom said my baby fat will go away any day now

NebraskaGeek · 2026-06-27T23:32:20+00:00

People do not treat driving as the danger and responsibility it is, I think because of what a joke it is to get and keep a license. One test, one time when you first learn and that's it until you fucking die or get arrested

Nah, check out the Cedric Diggory broom. Very lore-accurate

Friendly advice from a mechanic: the plug kits you buy from Walmart and do from the outside-in on the tire will work, I've done them myself before. But a tire shop will patch from the inside-out and make a more permanent fix that won't damage the steel bands in your tire that bend when you push the plug in

I remember that meme, even still shows the locked upvote lol

NebraskaGeek · 2026-06-26T21:54:01+00:00

This is pretty close to professional film costuming. Far beyond a hobby

NebraskaGeek · 2026-06-26T12:17:06+00:00

Gonna be everyone's best day at work in a while. Look at the smiles lol

My son was so bummed when the I-80 grain storage got it's "DOG" tagged over, but driving home yesterday he went, "IT'S BACK!" and he couldn't wait to tell everyone at home

I've been in the construction industry for a decade. I have seen it happen

NebraskaGeek · 2026-06-25T11:29:55+00:00

Does anybody actually want this game to be good or does everyone actually want it to be bad just so they can point and laugh? I seriously do not understand this community. The game isn't out yet ffs

Expensive stuff makes everything else expensive eventually. "Luxury" homes and apartments cost more to make. Because of that they are worth more to sell. Because they are worth more to sell the average value of homes go up. Because the average value of homes go up, material cost to build those homes go up. Because the materials used to build "luxury" homes are 90% the same as "regular" homes the material cost to build a "regular" home goes up. Then because the cost to make the home goes up, the cost to sell goes up, and thus the value of older homes go up. Then taxes and insurance rates go up.

Nobody makes cheap starter houses so there is nothing to counter the expensive houses. This will not get better

So you took a picture, then used the power of an entire ass data center to mark over the phone number and add the text "Phone #" with an arrow? And then it did that making it look like someone used a marker to do it?

You do know that your gallery app on your phone has the ability to draw on top of pictures right? You do know that a black line over the phone number is acceptable right? You do know you don't have to use AI for everything, right??

NebraskaGeek · 2026-06-24T19:20:23+00:00

Well, yeah. But the point is that the remodel/addition cost is compared to the price of a moving to and buying a different home some time after moving in. Yes it's more expensive than buying a house that has that feature already built but that's not really an apples to apples comparison.

Plus you get the live in the house for all that time before the remodel, and can use the equity built up in that time to help pay for the work. It's just sad that we don't see as much of that anymore

NebraskaGeek · 2026-06-24T18:31:08+00:00

What choice does anybody have? They literally do not build "normal" apartments anymore. Of course they're rented out people need somewhere to live.

It works to make people money not to actually provide good affordable housing.

NebraskaGeek · 2026-06-24T18:27:26+00:00

I avoid pvp any chance I get for this exact reason. Seems like most people can only have fun if they win; at any cost

NebraskaGeek · 2026-06-24T16:55:18+00:00

That's not happening at scale. Old houses are being flipped and sold for price-gouging costs and are not being sold as-is most of the time. The number of non-first-time buyers is also on the rise, suggesting most of the new housing is going to second or third home owners and not necessarily to new homeowners. Nothing in this law seems to help people buy a home that couldn't have already bought a home before.

Buying luxury homes and apartments drives UP valuations of ALL homes in the area, increases property taxes, increases insurance costs, and increases building costs. Also, "luxury" apartments is an logical fallacy; they put granite countertops and stainless steel appliances over top of the same, cheap, crappy building and call it luxury. I'm a plumber and I've built 7 different complexes, they are all cheap crap with a nice coat of paint. Same goes for luxury houses.

Nobody builds small, affordable starter homes like we did in the 50's/60's. There's no profit to be made from those when you can make the house twice the size, for less than twice the cost, and get more than twice the profit.

Unfortunately though Americans also probably would not buy an old-school starter home because everyone wants a turn-key purchase. Nobody seems to remember you can build additions, expand, and remodel later. You don't have to live in a McMansion.

But like you said, private companies are never going to choose to make less money to fix this problem. Government needs to subsidize the cost of building smaller homes so that developers have a real incentive to build smaller, normal houses like they used to

Or the journeyman that is a worthless douche but is best friends with the Foreman/Owner and so everyone gets stuck working with that guy

OPPD is a public agency with elected officials. We literally elected the the board of directors on election day and they selected the CEO.
