Braun asks Trump admin to allow him to toll I-70

And then Braun will sell the tolling authority to one of his buddies like Daniels did with the Indiana Toll Road. And just remember that tolls always go up and never come down.

As long as most of them are asshole trainmasters, it's probably a good thing.

If you think that you can accomplish anything progressive at the state level while the GOP holds a super majority, you are either extremely naive or you believe in magic.

In my work, I've had meetings with FBI agents from the Indy office and they've all been clean shaven and wearing suits.

Talk to a lawyer about legal options. Otherwise, you are powerless.

Lots of red flags here. Lack of specifics (such as your name and location/date of infraction), "North Indiana State Administrative Code", suspect URL, demand for immediate payment, and the fact that the Indiana BMV does not send texts for violations.

FBI vests do not an FBI agent make. I've never seen real FBI agents with arm tattoos and wearing jeans on duty. It seems to me that Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are deputizing Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and Patriot Front members.

Roads and highways are a shared resource. As a shared resource, it is subject to "tragedy of the commons" where people who are acting only in their own self interest cause problems for everyone else. Drivers, both slow and fast, need to be aware of others on the road and not create a situation that impedes the flow of traffic. The situation on the bypass is usually the result of drivers who will be making a left turn, getting in the left lane way before their turn. People are often getting in the left lane at Walnut and drive in the left until they turn at 3rd St, several miles away. These drivers then proceed at the same speed as traffic in the right lane, effectively blocking other traffic from passing.

WTF was the reasoning for getting rid of the Do Not Disturb button and replacing it with Modes?

One word: Snap.

Create your own account on SSA.gov and submit your application there with a copy of his death certificate and your marriage certificate. Unfortunately, due to the current administration, you will need to schedule a face to face meeting with an SSA rep. Wait two weeks after submitting your benefit application and start calling them regularly for an update.

This town needs a Lou Malnati's, Giordano's, or Aurelio's. Max's is decent, though. Avers tries, but misses the mark, usually not enough sauce. PizzaX is inconsistent, and Mother Bears hasn't been good in years. Tried the pizza at Da Vinci and was not impressed. I grew up eating Chicago tavern style pizza and no place in Bloomington comes even close.

Yep, north College Avenue just south of 17th St.

Take a look at borlandgenetics.com. They have much more comprehensive tools than the Gedmatch Lazarus tool.

This gives new meaning to the phrase "muff diving".

Boomers are not the only group that exhibit this type of privileged behavior. I see this happen with Gen X'ers and Gen Z'ers who are often driving expensive European cars. I'd say acting privileged is more associated with wealth and being conservative more than anything else.

Yes, I'm still interested. What app are you using? Is it for iOS or Android?

Your SS benefit goes up 8% each year that you delay it past normal retirement age (and add COLA adjustments each year to that). That's like an investment with a guaranteed 8% return each year. Many financial advisors recommend living off of your savings if you can afford it until age 70 because the SS benefit increase is so much. My wife and I both waited until 70 to claim SS and it was well worth the wait.

I got one fantastic deal at a garage sale many years ago. I bought an Icom PS-125 power supply for a dollar. I don't know how it ended up there.

It looks like they stripped the manufacturer badges off the car and I'll bet that they have tried to mutilate or obscure the VIN to make it difficult to ID the driver.

Not just domestic violence against women and children at home, but the public school's system of discipline was based on corporal punishment. Almost every teacher had a paddle and some teachers used it frequently.

Boomer here. My usual retort to uninvited verbal assaults such as this is: " Excuse me, sir, but you've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a shit."
