  1. If they could part my uncle out successfully, I feel like they can do a lot with a little in this case.
  2. So after the Kansas vote last week, Nebraska's thumb of a Gov. scrapped a special session on abortion because he didn't have the votes in the Unicameral to do shit.
  3. https://www.1011now.com/2022/08/05/four-laurel-homicide-victims-identified-suspect-hospital-with-serious-burns/ They caught the guy in his home with severe burns. Victims were an elderly couple and 55 year old daughter, and another 53 year old woman. In non-shocking news the suspect wasn't actually a black man traveling through rural Nebraska as originally report, but a local who lived on the same street as the fires.
  4. https://www.1011now.com/2022/08/04/nsp-four-dead-two-crime-scenes-laurel/ A town of about 1100 people had 4 people killed in two separate fires/explosions overnight. Suspect is at large. (I would take the suspect description in the article with a massive grain of salt) I can’t thing of many arson killing sprees off the top of my head, will be interesting if anything gets solved here.
  5. I went back and looked it up, and the UNL guy was Latvia’s head of gov’t prewar, but I think it works out about the same
  6. That election will be re-run this fall too.
  7. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Estonia already leaning pretty Fascist pre-war? There used to be a plaque about their President pre-war outside my office at UNL since he was also an Cornhusker alum, and they were pretty vague about things.
  8. I'd assume that pressure bursting pipes is something that they will be completely unable to deal with.
  9. Plus in this you have the great shots of the Jolly Rogers markings too
  10. Probably fuck’em outside Limon, in Eastern Colorado too
  11. Is there a route to do it that is more interesting than others. I’ve done it before but just got on I-35 at Ft. Worth and got off at Waco. I’d like to go visit my family at Giddings, and while we both live just off US77 several states apart, every so often I like to go Archer City because of my deep fondness for the McMurtry novels set there, and am curious what the most interesting way across is?
  12. At a certain point, we need to be a lot more efficient with fertilizers, because heavily nitrated water sources isn’t good for humans or livestock.
  13. Reminds me of how they left the cattle fucking sequence out of the movie version of Last Picture Show
  14. Who would they be accountable to? Because if you say no one, I’m going start asking a lot more questions. Who sets the spending priorities?
  15. Of course Verdun was actually a battlefield, and not a just a handy place in the neighborhood to dump shit.
  16. We are still blowing up a few Laotians a year too from the sheer amount of left over unexploded US ordinance over there too.
  17. Lions Led By Donkey's is great on it too.
  18. Of course, things are often significantly changing directions by the time CNBC gets around to talking about it.
  19. They've got it to the point where they vacated the convictions, so now it's going to start getting real dumb.
  20. Funds getting run the fuck over to the downside, and not wanting to margin, + rain in Iowa-Illinois. We were down 2 million on soybean acres on the report and we puke 2 bucks is something that wouldn't usually happen. Old crop is still inverted with strong basis for the most part, and generally speaking we either bounce or the inversion has to die once the fund rout is over.
  21. Depends on who you are asking for. US fertilizer prices are generally sharply off the spring highs as well.
  22. Just going to point out that corn, soybeans, and wheat are now at lower prices than when Russia first invaded Ukraine.
  23. I hope they touch on how comically inept the county was in dealing with the lawsuit. Some of the Surly lawyers would probably stroke out if they go into depth on it.
  24. As a side note to this, their recreations of 1980’s Beatrice are completely spot on. Also, the bow tie wearing lawyer is partners with the local Saul Goodman type who I really hope turns up in later episodes. Also had some of the best bbq I’ve had in Nebraska in the hotel where the robbery/assault that set things in motion occurred served by a guy whom I’m pretty sure was just squatting in the closed motel restaurant
  25. https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/06/27/heavy-police-presence-surrounding-18-wheeler-on-southwest-side/ This looks like it might be Triangle Shirtwaist type horrific
