  1. Who is Decision Desk HQ
  2. Doesn’t Georgia have an absurd amount of counties though?
  3. I finally abandoned Twitter for the most part 3 weeks ago. (Still post some work stuff as I actually significant following for my livestock info) Being here more and a couple other places has proven far superior that it wasn’t even that hard to quit.
  4. I took a walk to try to relax after voting and I think something very bad happened at a neighbors house as there was 5 LPD cruisers sitting out front. So that mitigated the walk a bit
  5. My line report, moved quick but got in just at the right time. Majority women 40-70, and then guys that look like Independent Senate Candidate Dan Osborn. (Caught the BNSF rail yard that is next to my neighborhood switching shifts)
  6. Time for me to get in line at the Fireman's Social Hall and do my best to flip NE-1.
  7. Or the right storm knock it back a bunch.
  8. Then a fake spike bomb on the kneel down play.
  9. Look I don't have the stuffed dinosaur I steal from my wife at night for emotional support.
  10. Mostly cause I love Duran Duran side projects.
  11. George Norris was really the only guy that pulled off peoples populism in Nebraska in a big way. Of course it’s a hell of resume
  12. Was it the Playhouse in Council Bluffs?
  13. Well they call them Runza's in Nebraska, and Bierocks in Kansas. Iowa has bullshit speed limits, while Nebraska and Kansas are much more reasonable. Nebraska has better gravel roads, but shitty black tops, while Kansas is the opposite. Nebraska and Iowa are much harder drinkers in aggregate.
  14. One side of my family was big Farmers Union/Co-op people so they have always been pretty blue. The slide to mega co-ops hurt a lot of engagement at the local level because those local board members would work their way up to other offices.
  15. I'd assume the NE corner of Iowa is probably a big factor in that with the combination of what was big Union presence historically with packing and farm equipment makers plus it seemed like a lot of Irish Catholics too.
  16. As someone who's family has a beloved Head Cheese recipe, I can't slander processed reconstituted pork
  17. Not quite Chilli's but I did just achieve my lifelong dream of talking about the McRib with the international media (Reuters in this case) which I have to believe is a good omen.
  18. I would guess that in the absence of Covid stuff, the youth vote will go back to more day off due to lack of thinking ahead.
  19. They’re more likely to be in the same place than the Jewish or East Prussian relation would be too.
  20. I wonder if I still got any relation floating around Alsace after my Great-Great Grandfather decided Nebraska seemed like a better idea that hanging around after 1871.
  21. I’m sure we will go back through area again as the wife and I really enjoyed it. (Probably more delighted by the funicular than we should have been)
  22. I get it with the manure, it’s just part of me chuckling at the difference between Iowa guys and say Western Kansas guys when I work with both. Dubuque was great, only hit FOD because we need to kill a half hour until the Farm Toy Museum was opening.
  23. It’s more that when I saw him my first thought was it’s got to be too dry to be getting a seal behind the knives, and then I quickly confirmed he wasn’t. I’d also like to note as someone who played pretty much all his career baseball games, and most football games bounded by corn fields, the Field of Dreams was pretty meh.
  24. I don’t remember seeing it. I do remember a guy putting manure down right next to the Colo football field while they had a game going.
  25. I went to Dubuque and back last month and was surprised by the amount of Harris/Walz stuff and relative lack of Trump stuff going across and back on 20 and 30. I’d also like to note there is a difference in attitude between livestock guys and grain guys because of the labor difference, and 2020 showed them what happens when kill capacity goes away because you can’t store a fat hog or ready steer.
