  1. Boy that sounds like something that should have been handle before tax cuts and such.
  2. The culture of treating guns as some sort of great equalizer for perceived slights from society at large will have to change.
  3. Does this mean we can finally turn Missouri into a giant hole?
  4. Which is why it’s unfortunate that they picked cornhuskers instead of something beef related for the mascot.
  5. https://mobile.twitter.com/mjwiegand/status/995343328743968768 Couldn’t get to embed right but here’s what my steers looked like this morning
  6. Nebraska has a 2+2 deal with Iowa State now, but a lot still go to K-State because it is close and pretty much every large animal Vet in the state is a KSU alum anyway so it makes sense with networking. A Tech school would probably draw Nebraskan's that want to work in a feedlot setting if it is a better deal than KSU.
  7. It damn well better stay wet too because their isn’t any spare hay left. I had one guy dump 800 big rounds of 2 and 3 year old alfalfa in the last week because he got offered enough to overcome his paranoia about it.
  8. I'm pretty sure Rodney Crowell addressed this when singing about why you leave the state in the broad daylight.
  9. I’ll take a picture of my ration sheet and post it later. It’s based on white corn because the owners of the lot grow food grade corn anyway, so they just planted everything to white, and rolled and packed it in their bunker.
  10. Yes, but you can’t use the bulk plastic container on the table for guests
  11. Not my personal cheapassedess on this story, but I went and ate Sunday dinner with my Grandma today, and she’s been scooping margarine into the same plastic container for at least the last 30 years, with a masking tape label that simply says oleo on it.
  12. Looks like my steers will be ready in two weeks to join the food chain. Probably buy some fall calves to run out in the Sandhills until fall next.
  13. 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.
  14. My bed frame was purchased by my Great Grandfather before the depression and I got it as a rescue
  15. If you do this you damn well better being paying players and allowing transfers.
  16. It’s got to be pretty Goddamn hard to downgrade from an ALCO
  17. The whole fucking place serves 3.2 beer. I feel that is warning enough.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. They've been able to spawn a decent c-store/truck stop chain or two.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. I really enjoyed that one, and Janesville: An American Story, and Glass House in similar books.
  24. 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.
  25. It’s been a little but stuffs still not great. The only place that guys seem happy is SW Nebraska for now
