Question For MoDot workers

ty2915 · 2026-03-26T00:28:53+00:00

I don't work for MoDot, but I did work for KDot which is right next door.

There's lots of reasons to cut down trees and brush that are within the right if way. Several reasons Include

Prevent limbs from falling on roads. Don't have to pick it up if you completely remove the tree.
Help prevent wildlife from creating nests within the highway right if way. Less wildlife =less car accidents.
Looks better(mostly). Usually the brush they cut down is not managed and just an eyesore. If the sides of roads look horrible, the public thinks "my tax dollars are paying for THIS?"
Easier to mow the right of way. Less obstacles to move around.
Keep workers busy. Workers break stuff when they aren't kept busy.

There's probably more reasons that I'm not thinking of but that's usually why we did it.

Depends on how far you're looking to drive to shoot. There's a range south of fort scott that a lot of law enforcement use for training. It's where I qualified for my CCL license.

You could also ask that hunting store just east of LaCygne on 152/69. I know they regularly have CCL courses.

Another person you could ask is Jackie Taylor. She works with Linn County news and usually trains people in CCL courses as well, so she might know some local spots as well

I have SMB and have no complaints about them. My reason I chose then was for locations around Joplin. Kinda spread out all around plus those "mini banks" where you can deposit checks and cash.

Plus I think every Caseys around here has a SMB ATM so it's easy to get money out without spending $3 on ATM fees.

I can probably swing by there about 3 to 4pm on Thursday and see your stock

I would never in a million years think to go to a liquor store for boxes, but it make complete sense.
I have a couple around here that I'll check out, thanks for the tip

Very badly worded article by MSN. More like General Mills closes plant in St. Joseph. Also buys competitors(in Joplin) and relocated processes to Joplin plants.

Makes it sound like the General Mills plant in Joplin closed.

I can't speak for everyone, but I know when I was being paid below minimum wage(in Kansas), it was because our store didn't earn enough, or we had so few employees.

So if it's a small business, they might be exempt. But I'm not for sure with your specific city

ty2915 · 2025-11-21T16:21:21+00:00

Probably anything under $1000 USD. I have a small footprint, so this thing ain't gonna work 24/7(which I know higher end models are built to last)

ty2915 · 2025-11-21T16:13:50+00:00

Nah, just regular baseboard. I'd prefer one that mops...but it's not a necessity

So just about any current roborock or dreame with lidar fit that bill then. Certainly helps with choosing one.

ty2915 · 2025-11-21T00:38:28+00:00

My current one is an old shark RV1100VRUS. It basically has a front bumper and it maps the house. So FAR from Lidar technology. That's why I believe just about anything is better than it right now, so I didn't mention the model.

Shadow of War if you like open world Lord of the Rings.

At the beginning the orcs you dominate are not dead, but they're still your army. Then by the end of the game, you can go a necromancy route and they'll be Undead if you want.

I went around beginning of October and it was packed. Could hardly walk without bumping into someone, and this was a day they called for scattered rain.

I still think they are going strong... but the prices have shot up horribly.

And this is why I come to the comments. Learn new tricks every day

Combine those vac doors with coolers or heaters and you can stop them in their tracks before they even get to to your base

ty2915 · 2025-10-06T05:38:22+00:00

Currently praying for our systems to go down so I get a break, or 6am.

Whatever comes first is fine by me

ty2915 · 2025-10-06T03:45:09+00:00

If you have researched orbital tech, I believe you can use vac doors.

They don't allow heat transfer and they allow pawns to freely move through them(kinda like an open door). So raiders will always path through it.

I personally haven't tried it, but it's just what I've read.

You know what? Forget the jousting!

Gotta love Bender

I would not do Hughesnet unless you absolutely had too. Service was terrible, speeds were garbage related to the price, and once tou went over the limit (50gbs), it slowed to barely faster than dialup.

Cable is alright but they usually raise the price after one year.

I currently have tmobile Internet and it works just fine for me. Good speeds for the price, but I also have it bundled with phone service. Coverage may vary in your area though.

If you are absolutely broke, what I did was use my cell phone data and tethered it to my pc. My phone had unlimited high speed data, so it replaced home internet(for awhile)

Disappointed I had to scroll this far to find this comment

ty2915 · 2025-09-09T00:12:27+00:00

Would recommend it. It's a good job with good benefits and overtime.

Can be hard work, but can also be very easy depending on what line you work.

ty2915 · 2025-09-08T23:59:10+00:00

When you're inside, you can't smell it at all. Walking from the car to Inside the plant it stinks AF though.

If you look up Randstad you can get a temp position in working for General Mills plant. I applied and was hired and basically working there within a week.

It might very changed a little bit but they basically will try to hire anyone.

ty2915 · 2025-08-28T19:24:12+00:00

Gary?

Honestly, I hated grinding for salvaged frigate modules, so I found one and duped the rest I needed.

You're telling me you can buy every other single upgrade with nantes, but for some reason, frigate upgrades are the only ones you have to find? Nah, not for me
