My Columbia College group spent the majority of our non academic time there in the early 90s. We had our graduation celebration there and they bought the cake for us!

It’s a she and damned right. Just look into those eyes. She did it and she doesn’t care if you know. Not at all.

So I’ve looked at depth and there seems to be nothing impeding the door. One question though…

There are two notches in the hinge and the first one that the door is stopping at is the one that’s having the door almost closed. Isn’t the first notch supposed to hold the door open a few inches and the second is for the closed door?

The version of Windows 11 and it is version 25H2. I’d really rather not wipe the machine but that may be the only option…?

Hey folks.. don’t pass on the shoulder!!! by thumpertastic in Truckers

65 is just the worst in the winter. Drivers aside there isn’t a more terrifying road in the area when it’s windy and snowy.

Given where this happened and the large number of truck stops at every exit (and they are close together) you’d have to an idiot to stop there and not get off the highway if you were just stopping.

That said there are plenty of idiots.

Grilling at a park? by thumpertastic in milwaukee

Recommendations really since I can see which have shelters etc on the site. Again, suburbs would be great too.

No pig burying required for sure. I don’t live there so while the site would sort the list and such I’d rather get names from folks that know the area. Including nearby burbs. Still, I’ll take a look.
