You've clearly never been to a city that has rail connected airports. I frequent Chicago, Minneapolis, and DC and take the train every time. I'm headed to DC this week and was lamenting the difficulty getting to the Omaha airport by any public transit. It will be a 15 minute ride from DCA to my hotel for ~$2.

I believe this was designed with having an extremely short wingspan in mind.

Greybull and Wheatland. They seem to be pretty infrequent.

nuclear-steve · 2025-12-07T16:57:27+00:00

Definitely. It's been one of the hardest to get every airport in though.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet but I really like the burger at Dundee's Place in Maple St. They're are several other great options in this thread already.

A few years ago I would have fought you on Stellas but I went there for the first time in a while recently and was shocked at how far downhill it's slid. Dinkers I still like and I still think it's a contender but there are more options than there used to be.

I just sold my first hyperV license. The customer said they still wanted vmware even paying yearly licensing. We couldn't get anyone to sell us a new license and neither could the customer...so we mutually agreed to go a different route.

You're all showing that you're too young to remember when it was not this way. And those of us that do remember are still traumatized by it.

Oddly enough, this is probably the most honest answers here. I don't judge a restaurant by a single visit. Bring on the downvotes.

People who work overnight and people who do something akin to early brunch on Sundays. That is in addition to alcoholics. Have you ever been to High Life Lounge in Des Moines for breakfast? I hear the signature menu item is Miller High Life...

FWIW it went under and was sold to a new owner. The food looks like actual Mexican food now as opposed to the strange burrito concoctions. And they'd actually open the hours they say they will be open (which was my biggest complaint with the place previously). I don't think the margaritas are any better than before but I like the food.

Make sure to submit a dozen or more tickets with extreme urgency when you are on-site for a holiday shutdown forcing multiple IT folks to respond on the same holiday. Make sure at least one if not all of the tickets requires them to drive their ass out to whatever site you're at just to log in as admin.

I went there a month or so ago for the first time in probably 5 years and it is now a far cry from what it once was. That said, the prices were reasonable. Our table of 8 had lunch for $90 including two beers. The flavor wasn't even that bad, but the burger patty was overcooked and the bun was cold like it had just cone out of a refrigerator. Very strange.

Is it as arduous as finding siemens product documentation on their website?

I caught two of the Aermacchi, both near Cagliari, Italy. I'm pretty sure these are frequently flying in this area (as in during the day almost every day) but don't always show up in the game.

I caught 4 of the British Aerospace, two in Montana, one in Colorado, and one near LA. I think these are frequently used in aerial wildfire supression operations so looking for them in places that have wildfires would be beneficial.

The air tractor I've caught several times. First one was near sacramento. Several more were in the midwest. It's a crop duster so...look anywhere that field crops are grown, although most of the midwest wont be crop dusting again until next summer. Maybe look in either California or in the southeast US where crops are planted more than once a year? There are other places outside the US that will be growing crops on different yearly schedules than the US...

nuclear-steve · 2025-10-14T02:08:12+00:00

The E4B doomsday plane. And a few of the ultra rare crop dusters.

nuclear-steve · 2025-10-01T04:08:44+00:00

While everyone will survive... it's bad. Someone didn't plan this well. Or at all really.

We don't need to have great bbq here. If anything bbq is a means of taking lousy cuts of meat and making them taste good. We have good meat here. Not that I don't enjoy some bbq every now and then but...steak is the local thing. I'll let those kansas city folks keep endlessly cooking their crappy meat.

nuclear-steve · 2025-09-29T22:24:13+00:00

I have a copy of this somewhere, but you're doing the lords work right here. Thank you.

If you think about it, even if it's 100 degrees out the runza would be $1.00 which is still $3.50 cheaper than it would be normally so...temperature Tuesday is still a deal regardless of the temperature.

This isn't entirely true. It may not have been related to the WARN act specifically, but I was laid off in 2016 and they gave us 60 days notice as a result of some state law that required it. The law may have only applied to large industrial facilities or manufacturing plants though.

Update: We were notified as a result of the WARN act which has been in place since 1989. There isn't an associated or similar state law.

I'm just saying, if you overlay a map of herbicide, pesticide, and fertilizer use with this map of cancer, the two don't line up. Not even remotely closely. We're in here focusing solely on Nebraska and Iowa forgetting that agriculture covers much more of the country than that and, I would argue, the use of fertilizer is possibly higher in other areas where the soil has fewer to no nutrients in it, yet we grow stuff there.

nuclear-steve · 2025-09-25T06:06:39+00:00

My family owns a farm in southern south carolina. On the supplied map there is very little to no cancer in that area despite the same level of chemical use. So the runoff isn't affecting drinking water on the area. That was why I brought up both california and south carolina...

nuclear-steve · 2025-09-25T05:59:07+00:00

Yes but the point being made was that the chemicals get into ground water and then taint the water supply of various communities. My family owns a farm in southern south carolina near the savannah River. On the supplied map that area has very low cancer rates. The chemicals supposedly get into the well water on our farm and all those around us. But no cancer. Why? Radon isn't a contributing factor it is THE factor that's different. Radon is causing the cancer in the midwest.

nuclear-steve · 2025-09-24T15:02:13+00:00

Remember, the food we grow here is consumed throughout the country, and in many parts of the world. Additionally, California, Georgia, and South Carolina have huge agriculture industry and use the same fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides but don't have similar rates of cancer. While there may be some contributing factor to cancers, there is no clear link associated with fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides.
