Yes, it’s not far. But here’s another thought - the guy was working a crappy job to try to save up and get a car. Now that he’s got one, he might be able to find a better paying job that’s further away. He might be able to attend some career training after/before work to get into a career.

Was just going to say that this

Where have I said that this isn’t a problem for those effected?

Relieved isn’t what I intended and not what I feel. I really don’t want to fight on this because I don’t know who you are and I’m not certain what you feel your points are that I’m missing. From a read through (or four, I’ll admit) I’m seeing that you think that my point that where I live would be a nice place to…

That list was just the top of mind, not all people of color of note from Wichita - and I’m proud that Hattie was from Wichita even if it was that long ago. I can’t fix the issues in Brooklyn other than by not moving there or renting an AirBnB if I visit that would be in a place that squeezed residents out. I really…

Is everyone certain where Jeremy Irons and his sketchy German accent are? Just trying to make certain that there’s nothing bigger going down here.

Looks like the cover of ‘A Brave New World’ paperback that I had to read in middle school.

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).

<Tom Bosley Ton (Metric Fuck ton plus Imperial Ass Ton)

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.

Just posted about this, but in KC they do not seem to have jumped yet. And Southwest flies in and out of that airport so it might be a great option.

Hilton hotels in the KC area are still very reasonable right now. If you want to travel somewhere, you might look at MCI for flying into and staying in the KC area. Thinking about staying the weekend in KC, taking Monday off work and heading up near Atchison, KS to view this with the family. According to another…
