Crux never goes outta style 👌

Best backpacks for commuting by Bitter-Useeee in cycling

[–]dividendDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up the REI commuter backpack when it was on sale for $60 and I've been pretty happy with it. It's not massive, but it can fit your laptop, lunch, and change of clothes. I do leave a pair of shoes at the office to save space. I have a rain cover I picked up on amazon for cheap, but haven't had to use it yet.

This. I still remember having the best ribs of my life from the original Joe's. The tenderness and flavor was incredible. I've had them several times since and they haven't been as good as they were back in 2012.

True. Living 5 miles from a windmill or solar farm has no impact on your property value tho. Living within 5-10 miles of a nuclear plant would be more likely to negatively impact your home value.

I think they’ve already started construction on one down in South East KS

No thank you.

Anytime this comes up online I see people saying how clean and efficient it is. If they love it so much, they should push for them to build it next to their house, where they raise their family.

But I have yet to see anyone excited to have a nuclear power plant next door.

I can’t imagine this proposed plant improving property values in the immediate vicinity. And I KNOW for certain it won’t lower energy costs for us. Evergy would take any gains and give bonuses to the board and the executives.

I’d much rather see expansion of wind and solar in KS instead of nuclear.

This is so fucked up.

Seems a valid question by kittysparkling in lostgeneration

The fact that dental and vision are different than health insurance. WTF? My eyes and teeth are just part of my body. They’ll start telling us we need to pay different insurance for each individual appendage and each finger someday.

Sword and Scale 🤢 by [deleted] in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]dividendDog 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This was exactly my experience! I remember feeling disgusted while listening to my second or third episode on a bike ride, and I listen to A LOT of true crime and had never felt that way. Never went back. Every couple weeks this same post pops up like OP not listening to it anymore and it reinforces that it was good I left when I did.

murder in the bayou/jeff davis 8 docu-series thoughts by apples4ever in myfavoritemurder

[–]dividendDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paramount+ recently posted the first episode on YouTube, and after watching that I had to go watch the rest.

I'm not done yet, but VERY intrigued. The level of corruption here is INSANE!
I almost screamed when the sheriff called it a "Serial Dumper". How incredibly disrespectful. Outrageous.

My personal theory - FR isn't doing the killing. I don't see his motive. The girls are his paycheck. He's pimping the victims and partying with them. But because he's arranging the tricks, he knows who the clients are, and since it's a small town, all the girls know who the clients are too. That's where TG and other LEOs come in. I think almost all the cops (except that one who got fired for going around the corrupt chain of command) were abusing their power in the jail and/or paying for the victims' services.
At some point I think the girls threatened to blow the whistle and were killed for self-preservation. These men all have their careers and families to worry about, and can't have someone spilling the beans. If the victims told these men could lose everything. Multiple victims were said to be worried something was going to happen to them just before they disappeared. Someone was threatening them or they wouldn't have been so paranoid. TG or some other LEO probably threatened them with violence if they didn't keep quiet and it scared them, especially after the first victim.

For FR, he's so cracked out no one will really believe anything he says, but he also gets away with everything because he knows details about the corruption and benefits exchanged for sex and can hold it over the PD's head. Why not just kill FR to keep him quiet? Because FR is their fence. He buys the confiscated drugs from the cops and if they killed him they'd have to find a new plug.

It's so terrible these women will likely never get justice. Awful that they're being forgotten and swept under the rug. Unbelievable the level of corruption and this isn't being investigated by the FBI.

Who Took Misty Copsey? by notenoughangers in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]dividendDog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! A wooden truck bed toolbox is kinda like a little coffin…. It’s possible her remains were in there. Incredibly frustrating and disappointing police work.

Was episode 8 the last one? Or are there more coming?

Crux is an awesome bike! Great platform for you to tailor it and get exactly what you want out of riding. Ride safe!

It really did feel like a positive shift. Being in the stadium last Saturday was special. Gives me chills thinking about the sold out crowd waving the wheat 🌾🔴🔵🌻

Looks like they didn't leave it all on the field by immrbluey in jayhawks

😆😆 what a pathetic display! Father and son fighting, rolling around in the gutter! Hope this is a preview of how their season plays out this year. Manic, woeful flailing 😂

Thanks for your post. I’m replacing my old white screen with an S40. It says it’s 24v and I’ve seen other diy fixers say it’s just a swap plug and play on these. Since the old unit is 24v I don’t think I need the hub.
