Its not simply a matter of whether my personal costs will increase.

Its that it will make the overall cost increase in much the same way that federal loans and grants have made college costs skyrocket. Create a nearly guaranteed source of payment and you reduce the incentive for providers to keep costs down.

We chose to…

I pay more than enough for childcare now. I shudder to think of the cost when its “free”

I’ll basically be driving to the center of Missouri through counties that are 25 people per square mile or less. I should actually have three potential routes that don’t go through any town larger than about 5000 people, and there are also country roads about every half mile to mile since its all just a big prairie.

I’m going to take my chances and drive to my viewing location day of.

I’m skipping the interstate and opting for a 2 lane US highway about 20 miles away from the interstate. Adds a half hour on a normal day, but since this US highway doesn’t connect to any major population areas directly I figure it should be ok.

Two likely reasons: First and probably most likely is to fit within Nascar’s acceptable parameters for that area of the body.

Second, the window needs to be large enough to accommodate the NACA ducts they often run in the rear side windows.

I used to use that method (I also learned it from AB)

When I had the correct sized and metal gauge bowl it worked great.
Then my wife burned something in it somehow and no matter how clean I got it, popcorn would stick and have a burnt taste.

It probably won’t work well on my current stove...glass top electric. Direct…

One of the perks of being a Nascar fan in Iowa is that the Truck and Xfinity series races aren’t attached to a Cup race so you are almost guaranteed to see the up and coming drivers competing with each other and they do indeed put on a show thanks to the track design.

Watching Allgaier and Preece battle for the lead…

Stainless steel hand cranked stove-top popcorn popper.

Fast, easy to clean, and consistently produces large quantities of delicious popcorn.

Carnival style popper is too damn big.

Pegboards are IMO as ideal for the kitchen as they are for the garage.
Many oddly shaped utensils and most have some point you can hang them with.

I did it the cheap way with the regular brown hardware store variety of peg board though. I’m willing to accept ugly if it makes things easier.

Sticking exclusively to this particular example of injustice, this has nothing to do with the ‘Trump Era’

These 4th amendment violating checkpoints have existed at least as far back as 1976 when the supreme court decision on the card the brownshirt was holding up as proof of his authority to detain someone without…

It absolutely is the time and place.

If every single driver who entered one of these peaceably refused to cooperate (she is 100% correct, they can ask but no one is required to answer...5th amendment baby), then these useless and without individualized suspicion or probable cause violations of the right to freely…

I have to do this with my wife as well.

She hates sharing food.

A few years ago they tried to get the taxpayers of Indiana to foot the bill for lighting the track. The legislature wisely said no.

This wreck happened at least before 8:30 local and they didn’t go green till 8:54. Thats a hell of a long time for cleanup.

What the hell is up with the cleanup taking so long.
Its almost like they are trying to make the race end for darkness.

I wonder if they’d call him and the crew chief to the hauler for that kinda thing these days.

That was 1986 Richmond spring race. Quite the finish

They need to add another dirt race.

All 6 critters

Terrible idea and almost certainly entirely unworkable.

Your idea of luxury vs essential is undoubtedly different than mine, which would be different than what politicians and political apparatchiks think it is and so on.


From the point of view of someone selling things, the rules for deciding what tax to charge would…

As much as it would be a whole lot simpler to just do it the old fashioned way of ending the race at the specified distance which eliminates all ambiguity, or to just attempt to do a single GWC which also eliminates the ambiguity but still leaves the possibility for a finish under green and if they wreck before the…
