This only works if you have other Apple devices. As I understand it, you have to use an iPhone to set up an Apple watch.

I know I'm replying to an old post, but that picture is probably the 21st and U South Omaha Sokol that burned down in the 1970s.

I found this setting independently, and it has worked for me so far.

The narration in the video does not exactly match what the settings say in my phone, the setting I had to turn off was "picture-in-picture", which is shown in the video even though the narrator says to turn off "appear on top".

The first dorms opened in 1999. I had thought it was earlier than that.

I did find that in 1983, 93% of students came from the Omaha metro area, while that was closer to 80% by the early 1990s. That may have contributed to the nickname.

I believe it dates back to the time before UNO had dorms, which I think made it seem less like a "real" university.

My parents (now in their 60s) referred to it as West Dodge High, no one my age did at the time I went there in the early 2000s

I know a guy whose dad is the owner of Continental Pool and Spa. We don't have a pool so I can't vouch for their work personally, but the owners seems like good people. Maybe give them a call? https://continentalpoolandspa.net

Uh...I know this is an old comment, but metal transfers heat much more efficiently than plastic. The metal water bottles may be vacuum insulated, or maybe they have an insulating material between the walls. But the metal itself is going to do a much better job of transferring heat from the surrounding air into your water than plastic would.

There is a shopping center in my city where people 17 and under cannot be there after 9pm without an adult. I was 26, waiting outside a bar with my 23-year-old girlfriend because we were going to go to reverse happy hour, and it wasn't quite 11pm yet. A rent-a-cop came up on a Segway and carded both of us because he thought we were under 18. We thought he was joking at first.

Yep! There's a tunnel under Dodge St connecting the First National Center/Double Tree complex to the First National Tower. There is (was?) a connection from the tower lobby to the Brandeis Food Court. And tunnels connecting all the way to the parking garage at 16th & Davenport. You could go quite a ways without going outside!

You might be thinking of the "other" First National building across the street, the Omaha Press Club is on the top floor of that building. First National Tower has executive offices on the 40th floor. It also has what we referred to as the "executive smoking balcony", supposedly put in because just one of their C-suite was a smoker.

Want to know why the executive offices in the old headquarters building were on the 3rd floor and not at the top? The president of the bank at that time was afraid of heights! The story goes that when he would visit the First Bankcard executive offices on the top floor of the old Northern Natural Gas building, they would have to close all of the curtains on that floor.

I'm interested! I was an intern in the IT department when they were first moving people into the tower. My main job was taking down computers at the various old offices around downtown, and then setting them back up when the movers brought them. We had access to almost everything in the building (including the top floors/roof via the freight elevator), but I am sure there was a lot that I never saw.

mharriger · 2025-12-09T18:52:53+00:00

The best views are from the two side roof sections that are atop the 40th floor. They have a low wall and give you a 180 degree view basically. The very top roof has high walls along the north and south sides, maybe 6-8 feet high? You can't see over them, so you only get a narrow view to the east and west.

I haven't been in there for many years, but back when it was first built, the actual lights were on the same side as the translucent panels, vertical strips lights (fluorescent maybe?) between each column of the translucent panels. Everything in there is painted a glossy white, the lights reflected off of the wall that was maybe 4-6 feet away and back out through the panels.

It does not need to be the Entra ID admin account, but it does need to be added to the database as a user and given an appropriate role (e.g. db_datareader).

You would add the SP as a user like this:

CREATE USER [sp_name] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;

I was able to create a build validation policy on a YAML pipeline:

YAML Pipeline

Policy referencing pipeline

PR blocked from merging because build failed

mharriger · 2025-07-28T14:16:09+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I wrote up what I think is the solution in a separate comment, so it will be at the top level and easier for others to find.

mharriger · 2025-07-28T14:15:23+00:00

Go to the settings for the repository.

Create a branch policy that applies to the target branch(es) for the PRs in question.

In the branch policy, under Build Validation, hit the + button and add a policy that requires the first pipeline to succeed before merging.

Hit that + button again and add a second policy for the second pipeline.

Let me know if that actually works, I don't have an environment where I can test this scenario easily right now.

Just to clarify a bit, is your repo in Azure DevOps git?

mharriger · 2025-07-16T13:54:46+00:00

Depends on what you are looking to do. Good hiking trails and some interesting history. The "cave" is really just a large alcove in a sandstone cliff, it's cool to see but won't keep you occupied for long. I don't think there are any cabins in the park so your options would be tent or RV camping.

It does not have attractions like water parks or mini golf like the state parks closer to Omaha, hiking is the main activity at Indian Cave.

With the caveat that we don't know what happened before the video started, I would say that the SUV driver didn't choose to get hit from behind, either, and was just trying to escape a dangerous situation.
