I’d put crispy flour over corn, but I’m not going to knock your list that much.

We had an African American mayor - two terms elected - only a few years ago. Barry Sanders and Hattie McDaniel were both born in Wichita. Blues musician Rudy Love is from ICT. Sinbad got his start here in comedy while stationed at the local AFB. I know this’ll get shot down with a ‘not all white people’ type take,…

Here comes the hot take - tortilla’s in any form are better than buns with one exception - pretzel buns are better. All other buns are behind good tortillas either corn (soft), flour (soft), corn (crispy), or flour (crispy - which is the tortilla winner in my book).

I disagree with your generalization on one point - the taco burger is an abomination and should be forever removed from existence. Let’s call it what it is, a sloppy joe without enough sauce and additional veggies to make the buns slippery and make even more of a mess.

On the millenial label item - it gets tricky. Some people put Millenials as born from ‘84 onward, others as early as ‘82. What’s interesting is for those of us that are between Gen X and Millenial as many say Gen X ended in ‘80 and others say as early as ‘76.

I can hear the ghost of AMC saying it now: FIRST

Either drum brakes or split rim wheels were designed for this exact purpose. I’m partially convinced that these two single inventions are responsible for workman’s comp legislation. Those, and the pneumatic nail gun.

Yeah - drum brakes...sigh. If they aren’t fishooking you they are shooting that ‘Jesus’ clip across the shop. We call it the Jesus clip because that’s what you’re shouting as it shoots past your ear to parts unknown.

We have a saying in my family - It’s not yours until it makes you bleed.

But, I stomped the beans myself this time!

It’s not easy. But, I’m also not saying go without a job. I replied to another poster in this thread with a link to a job search based in Wichita (where I am) - over 900 jobs with a salary above 40K/yr in this area. I’ve no idea what profession any of you are in, but almost all of them are represented in major…

I’m very white, so I can’t speak to the experience here, but this is a report for Kansas from 2012 by the Kansas African American Affairs Commission: https://www.kaaac.ks.gov/docs/documents/state-of-african-americans-in-ks.pdf?sfvrsn=4

Was just going to suggest this. It’s not for everyone, but I live in Wichita, have a great house with a mortgage under $1,300/mo, have no traffic to deal with, can walk to four to six great places for dinner - all local joints. I know it’s not New York, but life is good here too. Sat out back the other night and…

Yes - this exactly. I work for a hospital system and I’ve had a fair amount of dealings with physicians. I’ve found that a healthcare worker’s intelligence and ability to relate to a patient are not related to race, national origin, or school they attended. A doctor that is exceptionally smart but cannot relate to…

Roasting: I have a ‘Seen-it-on-TV’ type item that really just looks like a hubcap, so we call it that. Whole chicken, liberally salted and seasoned, not trussed, on the hubcap in a 350 oven for an hour - maybe more depending on size and temp when it hits the oven. Super crisp skin, very juicy, and very easy.

You say that, but I think we’ve all had bad sausage that were unsalvageable from the start - looking directly at you Hebrew National Salami.

My 2008 Toyota Minivan has a freaking Sonar button, and it’s real! It toggles your parking sensors, but it says SONAR - how weird is that?

Lest we all forget, the wheels of our government were originally intended to turn very slowly. The founders intended for changes to come about when they were such that they had the weight of the people behind them in such a fashion that the change by the government was a fait acompli.

The nurturing of violence on either side cannot be tolerated - regardless of what motivates it (resisting an administration or supporting another).
