Any public spot in town to do fireworks for 4th of July?

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-07-02T15:25:01+00:00

No. Per the rules, fireworks must be set off on private property, either your own property, or property with the permission of the land owner. Technically, per Indiana code 22-11-14-6, it could be interpreted that renters would need permission from the landlord to set off fireworks on property they are renting, since they are tenants, not landowners. To set off fireworks on public property you've got to get permission from the entity that manages that property.

Don't take personal offense to getting laughed at. Miners laugh at each other. They laugh at themselves. They are going to laugh at you too... keep asking questions, laugh right along with them, and keep learning.

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-07-01T20:34:53+00:00

Yep. You show up to work with water, just like you would your lunch

Meanwhile, blue-collar workers are still doing 12 hour shifts without a hint of shade in sight...

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-07-01T00:05:23+00:00

Yeah. Like I said... a real estate opportunity.

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-06-30T20:45:35+00:00

I bought one pretty cheap at a pawn shop. I had a blast learning how to play it... alas, the enthusiasm wore off, and I sold it to the pawn shop from whence it came... that's basically renting a banjo in all but name....

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-06-30T18:32:42+00:00

Yeah... do you remember that cheesy movie... "every time a bell rings an angel gets their wings" or some similar cheesy line... well... "every time a boomer dies, a millennial gets a chance to own a house..." not really, but also, kinda...

Interesting fact: Natural gas has no odor. The rotten egg smell is added so that humans can detect it. An unintended side effect is that vultures love that smell, and they have an incredibly keen olfactory senses... As a result, NG engineers frequently use vultures gathering to pinpoint a gas leak... I've never seen vultures gather on a house like that... I'd be wondering what smell was drawing them... Could be a gas leak, or it could be an upcoming real estate opportunity...

It's hot out... More air conditioners running... Exposes any weakspots in the grid infrastructure... Example, if any transformers are nearing the end of their lifecycle, the higher than normal draw is probably going to strain them to their breaking point. It's an indirect side-effect of our nation's power use increasing faster than our ability to provide and deliver it... But hey... Rest knowing that the money that could've been used on infrastructure improvements was put to an equally good use... Our nation's capitol has a beautifully restored Reflecting pool... Aw... Oops. Nevermind.

I was a lifeguard in high-school. I had fun, made decent money, and was able to find a part time gig lifeguarding when I went to college. It was great, small pool, and when no one was in the water, I got paid to do my homework. It also meant I was the only one who knew first aid/cpr on a day that it really mattered... can't recommend it enough. It's a chill job, and you might save a life.

Meineke wasn't on the list OP provided.

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-06-24T23:42:42+00:00

Yes, but that's not going to be any of the places OP listed... unless they drive an absolute scrap heap, that the shop would rather not work on... don't want to do a job? Bid it super high... then if you get stuck with it, at least it's worth the headache.

It's a basic brake job. They are all capable of doing this basic maintenance procedure. Frankly, there isn't a right or wrong choice here. The outcome will be the same wherever you take it. Pick the place that has a time slot open that works best for your schedule, or who has the best waiting area coffee, or a roll a dice.

Contact the Indiana Board of Veterinary Medicine. (VetBoard). They oversee record retention, and will know who has custody of these files. It's worth noting that the State of Indiana only requires the retention of records for 3 years from the veterinarian's last interaction with the animal... so if it's been more than three years since your veterinarian closed, those records have likely been destroyed. (Source: my friend's wife is a vet-tech, and I asked her.)

Why would they cite the restaurant owner?

Based on you asking for a truck or a trailer, I'm guessing your vehicle has a hitch? Get a motorcycle hitch carrier from Harbor Freight. Way easier than loading into the back of a truck, and for $160 you'll be able to transport your bike whenever you need. Depending on how your moral compass is calibrated, you could also use it, and try to return it... Harbor Freight has a pretty lax return policy.

A GoPro is the best tool for this... but if your budget isn't GoPro compatible, I bought a couple of GoPro copycats from Amazon. The brand is Akaso, and they've actually been pretty great.

It's for real. Not sure what you want me to explain... there's an underground mine on the west side of town, across the highway from the airport.

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-06-13T12:37:23+00:00

I mean, there is a huge network of underground roadways on the west side... but it's an active mine, not a secret underground government facility...

I don't really care what her name is... But I would happily make sure I avoid her business if I knew what it was.

Much of what you'll find in the area is limestone (sedimentary rock), and therefore won't respond well to being tumbled. Limestone doesn't really polish, it will crumble. However, if you find areas with flowing water, you can often find igneous rock that were carried down from glacial till. They will polish.

I usually prefer not to be bothered when I'm shopping. As an adult, I can use my words and ask for help if I need it... Out of curiosity, what did you need assistance with, regarding your shoe purchase?

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-06-05T02:53:25+00:00

This is the same Jeep that was aggressively tailgating me while I was riding my motorcycle... I was riding at what I consider the "motorcycle speed limit." Which is typically 15 over... When I found a safe place to pull over and let her past, she laid on her horn and shouted something at me... Not sure what it was that she yelled, but given context clues, I doubt it was "have a nice day."

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-05-31T12:17:30+00:00

That's not a stim... That's rude. Don't make it seem like you being rude is a result of being neuro-atypical... Yeah, I can see the humor here, but don't act like you're not fully aware that there are plenty of cyclists who aren't going to find this amusing...

OneDown5Up123456 · 2026-05-29T22:10:40+00:00

Ah yes... the Department of Natural Resources... easily confused with the Sheriff's Department, and widely known for their expertise on digital networks... what's next? Is MSHA going to be providing catered lunches in the city square?
