    Minnesota didn't have the space in the current location to do something like that, and they legitimately utilize that whole football field space for a lot of shit in the winter. My cousin's wife is one of the event coordinators for the stadium, and they have stuff going on in there all the time that I had zero awareness of. As much as I hate that taxpayers are faced with funding the stadium or losing their team, I do think in this particular instance that they're generating a lot of usefulness from the facility despite my disdain for indoor football, particularly when you have harsh outdoor elements to embrace.

    It would be a huge headache to manage in winter. The Brewers are the only northern pro sports team I can think of that uses one, and they have to deal with snow maybe every 4 years or snow during the season.

    I really wish that Minnesota, Detroit, and Indy would have built outdoor stadiums. Part of the issue in Minnesota was that it's a taxpayer funded facility (I guess the others probably are too) and they needed to make it indoors to have shit like boat shows, concerts, etc through the winter to drive revenue.

    You have to be pretty pleased with the season thus far. Meant to watch your game today but got busy.

    Turned into a snoozer after a shaky first 10 minutes. I’ll allow it.

    He’s assuredly been drinking since he woke up, and not casually either. Basically, his blood has too much alcohol in it to freeze. You’re the doctor here, but it makes sense to me.

    I feel like that guy is a breathing avatar of the complete insanity that underlies any Midwestern lifer.

    Iowa fucking blows.

    I’ve been pushing snow since 4AM. Wife has a crock pot beef stew with copious amounts of garlic and onion and a glorious looking chuck roast from my buddy’s cow. It’s planned for supper

    The uh, entire state of Iowa?

    I got it once. It was about -15/20 outside and we got called to a fire at an autobody shop. It was full of all sorts of explosive flammable shit and cars, so we set up outside and just poured water on the fucker at enough of a distance to not really be warmed by the flame. I was a rookie at the time and didn't get to go in either. A little patch of exposed skin below my eye got it, and it was probably 2 years before it finally cleared up completely, but it was never that severe.

    Don't even get me started on the fuckery of modern tornado warnings.

    I feel like we get advisories we shouldn't all the time. If it gets down to 0 we get a "life threatening cold alert". If it gets over 90 we get a "heat warning advisory". It's Iowa. We get well below 0 every winter and well above 90 every summer. We don't need advisories for either, and I'm frankly a tad insulted that NWS thinks we do.

    As someone who lives in the rural Midwest and did so in 2019, surveillance cameras still aren't super common in general - with a couple of exceptions: 1) trail cams for hunting, and 2) the ones paranoid fucks put up on their property. The Tillman ranch would likely have them for both purposes in 2019.

    There are obvious political overtones to this show. Why should we have to dance around that in a thread about the show?
  18. Al_4_ISU
    Yeah, in 2019 Roy Tillman is getting invited to the White House and given a Medal of Honor. Probably being recruited as a running mate.

    I went to a Vikings game late last year and saw absolutely no obviously stupid fan behavior. I hadn't been since 2014, and that day the first thing I encountered were 2 guys in Zubaz who had passed out and pissed themselves next to the elevator. It was night and day.

    "DON'T TOUCH THAT DOG. NOT EVER." Jesus, this is going to be bittersweet.
  22. Al_4_ISU
    Hell, maybe even May like in 2013.

    I love both. I'll probably churn out 3 and 4 this winter even though I haven't talked to anyone who really liked either. I got all the way through Season 1 before I realized that Lou was the deputy from Season 2 and that final standoff was the Sioux Falls incident.

    Not off Lake Superior in the dead of winter though.

    I was thinking about how dumb it was of her to leave the gun out, and how it's out of character. But is it? Dot has done dumb shit this whole time. Refusing to accept help that could EASILY bring Roy down, while constantly lying about what's going on when it's completely obvious that she's trapped in said lie. She is an absolute badass, but she's also had a dipshit streak running through the character all season. It's really not that inconsistent with her character to just give them an easy chance to kill her.
