  1. On strictly anecdotal evidence, the nicer fast food places around here (Culver’s, Freddy’s, Chik-Fil-a, Runza) seem to have no problem finding fresh faced teens, and are usually over staffed. The McDonalds have recent immigrants, and everyone else is understaffed badly with few folk that don’t have a collection of job stoppers.
  2. My bed frame was purchased by my Great Grandfather before the depression and I got it as a rescue
  3. If you do this you damn well better being paying players and allowing transfers.
  4. It’s got to be pretty Goddamn hard to downgrade from an ALCO
  5. The whole fucking place serves 3.2 beer. I feel that is warning enough.
  6. I’d say it’s two things, it’s not a fucking beating to buy something from Amazon like it is to set foot in a WalMart. Also, Mom and Pop can sell on Amazon and you can buy from them if you desire.
  7. I just never get why people tape themselves doing this shit. 18 to 22 year olds, usually don't think before they speak, and also think that everyone is in on the joke with them. If it's not recorded it makes it hard to spread, and usually folks can get somewhat smarter going forward. But people who end up seeing recordings of stuff are never in on the joke, and you won't get the benefit of the doubt. All this probably stems from them not getting told they're a dipshit often enough.
  8. They've been able to spawn a decent c-store/truck stop chain or two.
  9. enough that your teachers don't decamp for other states and leave no one to teach your simpletons their ABCs and 123s for 12 years.
  10. It’s always fun for me to see the Brangus talk as they do not thrive in the climate up here. There were a few attempts 30 odd years ago, but it worked as well as they guys who tried cotton.
  11. I really enjoyed that one, and Janesville: An American Story, and Glass House in similar books.
  12. It's really hard to understate how great the Nebraska Sandhills are for cows. You might have a shorter grazing season, but you have spring fed hay meadows to compensate.
  13. It’s been a little but stuffs still not great. The only place that guys seem happy is SW Nebraska for now
  14. I am in SE Nebraska. I work with and have cattle with a number of operations in KS,NE,SD and IA
  15. If I can get a place bought this fall, I'm hoping to get a much more permanent grazing feeding set up put together. The idea is to convert an old dairy into the base of operations.
  16. I’ve got my fats locked in for early June movement and I’m going to buy a set for summer mob grazing, and then another set in the fall.
  17. I’ve seen ads where they suggest issuing the 50 dollar buckets to hold stuff while you work cattle, as if the average guy didn’t already have a bunch of buckets just sitting around already
  18. The Oak Ridge Boys at the 100th Diller Picnic, I was 14, and sold drinks, and helped disassemble the stage as part of the Local FFA chapter
  19. Since I consider Larry McMurtry one of our greatest living Americans, and as such was inspired to be a book collector, I felt like we should have a non-fiction reading thread. Currently I’m reading Pandora’s Box by Jorn Leonard, which is a WWI history just translated into English by one of Germany’s top historians. I’m also starting on A.G. Hopkins’ American Empire, with high hopes.
  20. The end lesson is that you got keep the blackmail out of the sex cult right? Otherwise, everything was above board.
  21. A high priced durable good that fills a somewhat small niche has to be kind of a bitch to keep going, doesn’t it?
  22. That’s when it pays to be able to distribute the written word then, where people can consume it at their time and pace. Too much emphasis is placed on the act of speaking rather than the distribution of thought.
  23. Why shouldn't people be able to shout down views they find abhorrent? I think a bigger problem with society is people expecting headpats for their dumbass views, than a preponderance of safe spaces.
  24. Your going to have to move all the soy crushers and grain terminals then too, along with the rail heads.
  25. Well I'll disagree without about levees for New Orleans, as the port remains very useful, and a lot of out commodity exports flow out through the gulf, especially with the new Panamax vessels.
