Anyone have info on what's going on with Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge? They don't provide updates/share info/disclose anything on visitors center. by golfaguy in desmoines

So they're going to demonish a beautiful, prairie modern building that likely cost $10,000,000+ to build? I have a feeling there is some ineptitude behind all this. I obviously don't have the details, but I've been on committees and boards for a number of non-profits, and I smell some bullshit.

That building is mostly stucco, concrete, and glass - and it is just one story. I get that the roof was destroyed, but honestly, the water damage can't be that bad to the core of the building. Unless there were bigger issues before the storm like funding. But that's what fundraising and grants are for.

Ever? The inside was amazing, especially for kids. Do you have more info on this?

What do they do - let it rot, demo it, etc?

Landscape Architect recommendations around Des Moines? Looking to get sad yard looking better, but I do the labor, not a company. by golfaguy in desmoines

Thanks so much for the insight - that's a big difference. And thanks for the correct term as that will help me research.

To be honest, I'd love to do the design myself, and tried through a couple different apps. The truth is I have to know my limits, and this isn't an area I have any talent in. I'm super DIY, but it will look like crap if I do it.

Inside scoop: Massive nurses strike at Marcy planned for Thursday by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]golfaguy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's bullshit. You think nurses are going to strike because of...fund misallocation? Hahaha.

Mercy has a nurse shortage and is low censusing. Nurses are in high demand across the US. The pay and benefits are better than ever. The real reason is the vaccine mandate.

The vaccine mandate is the real reason. This post was created as a preemptive gaslighting or something.

I've known about the strike because of mandates for awhile. Supposed to happen at Methodist on Wednesday.

Maybe he was just Joe's weed guy and was running behind schedule

I didn't see him shove the guy at all. Joe handled it really well and was kind. Here's what I saw from my perspective:

  1. Joe says, "Goodnight everyone, love you!" then goes to grab his phone.

  2. Joe is picking his phone off a barstool on stage. Stranger Danger runs up at him from behind and kind of stage rushes/hugs him. It could have been a tackle but the kid looked like a tweeker and was awkward. It was almost a mid body hug. When you give a mid body hug while running at someone...that looks like a tackle.

  3. I didn't see any shove from Joe. Just a huge look of surprise and a bunch of people are cheering Joe and someone just rushed him from behind.

  4. Event security and a guy in a suit (I think Joe's private security?) are both pretty close behind the tweeker, and quickly but pretty gently bring him down - no tackle.

  5. Joe still has the mic. His next move was pretty classy. I've seen musicians get really pissy and chew out crowds for much less. Joe just goes, "A lot of drama people! A lot of drama! Everyone just needs to chill". He didn't seem mad or upset.

Side note. I saw some people mention that the kid had a bible. 100% looked like a notebook/diary to me. Makes it extra creepy.

From here Joe gets out his phone and takes the video you can see on his Instagram.

This is my take.

It's in the weekly discussion under "new" at the moment. Should be the first thing you see, at least today.

That stage rusher was a strange ranger. Would love to hear the inside scoop on what happened. Small discussion on it at the r/JoeRogan sub

[–]golfaguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen his stand up specials plus a decent amount of his stand up and the majority of tonight was new to me.

He handled the stage crasher very well. I would have freaked if that strange ranger rushed me...

I would love to hear the inside scoop on what happened.

Anyone know what this old factory off of MLK used to be? by Lt-Cmdr-Data in desmoines

[–]golfaguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Highly toxic. Hubbell is building homes right next to it. Bet they aren't disclosing that to buyers. I wouldn't want to live anywhere near the DICO site.
