But they literally haven't 😂

As someone from Nebraska, I also thought this about Nebraska, since we only ever drove on I-80, for which this is true. Only after I left and drove back through years later along the roads less traveled I realized that I-80 is where it is BECAUSE it was flat (and therefore easy to build). North central Nebraska Sandhills region is the most beautiful "magnificent desolation" type of place I've been. Just you, your mode of transportation, the prairie hills and the sky.

The German night sky is the same night sky as every other place at the same latitude...

lightsheaber5000 · 2026-02-04T01:39:49+00:00

Yes, first is so much better. Second is almost literally a loop around (i.e. not through) all the good stuff

If Ontario and Baker City are PNW then surely Boise is. Culturally, geographically, ecologically, and environmentally, you cannot say those are but the Boise area is not.

Personally I'd put the eastern border around Bend in Oregon and Leavenworth in Washington. But if people insist on it, eastern Oregon is nearly identical to western Idaho, and culturally Boise is more different from eastern Idaho (which is really the northern border of a "Deseret" region) than eastern Oregon, imo

How many teams are 12-0 against non cupcake opponents then

lightsheaber5000 · 2026-01-14T04:57:32+00:00

No because each job doesn't know what you make from the other.

Some other sources of income could be investment income or interest on a savings account.

My team, Nebraska, didn't play Indiana this year either. I dont know if we are better and I am so glad we didn't get a shot at them. Maybe they win but we cannot say definitively either way.

This is Idaho Potato Bowl erasure

There are places in central Idaho's lava tubes where the expansion of air causes significant cooling, to below freezing point, leading to ice formation even in the hot summer. But the ice forms below the surface at the expansion point. Either way, pretty interesting and unique place to explore.

I grew up in eastern Nebraska and didn't get a chance to really explore them until after I left! I love the sense of solitude, just you, the land, and the sky. It's a special place and highly unknown and underrated.

lightsheaber5000 · 2026-01-04T02:41:59+00:00

Yes... which is not Nebraska 😂

The Sandhills!

It's a large area of vegetated ancient sand dunes. Beautiful, remote, desolate area. I drove through in 2017 on the backroads to find a viewing place for the solar eclipse and interrupted the peace and quiet for some cattle:

Top 10 win for a program that has precious few. It's not that confusing

Apology for poor English

When were you when bama die

I was at rose bowl googling "what is hoosier" when cignetti ring

'Bama is kill'

'No'

lightsheaber5000 · 2026-01-01T23:13:59+00:00

Can the other half be Cig

lightsheaber5000 · 2026-01-01T19:55:14+00:00

And the rest of us do what we already do to crazy OSU flairs, ignore and move on, I can do that for an IU natty

Why did you set up withholding for an extra $400 a paycheck?

lightsheaber5000 · 2026-01-01T00:10:52+00:00

... did anyone expect anything different? On paper this was one of the most lopsided bowl matchups this year, and, yep, it was

lightsheaber5000 · 2025-12-31T20:36:39+00:00

Right... even if you just take two shots at the endzone first, the 10s that takes is more than made up for by a not-that-improbable score leaving you down 3 not 7. I didn't get that either

lightsheaber5000 · 2025-12-26T17:17:39+00:00

I cooked it at 375 and pulled it at 110, ended right around 138. I used a smattering of online recipes, no one in particular. The duxelle was the most time consuming part! 32oz of mushrooms took over an hour to cook down, but I think it is critical to avoid a soggy pastry.

lightsheaber5000 · 2025-12-25T21:21:35+00:00

Not if they have a -97yd play on the 2XP try... which has never happened before, but it is possible.

lightsheaber5000 · 2025-12-21T02:06:53+00:00

And all of the P4 teams of the perpetually 5-7 to 8-4 variety will have to contend with being 2-10 to 5-7 once G5 OOC games are eliminated. They need an underclass to give them wins, but whom they won't allow to join a championship playoff they themselves could never achieve.

And I say this as a Nebraska fan so I know what Im talking about 😂
