  1. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdoh/pr/columbus-police-officers-charged-crimes-related-distributing-least-7-kilograms-fentan-0 That's basically enough fentanyl to kill the entire Columbus metro population and then some.

    Open borders...with Michigan? "Socialist spending spree" aka spending that doesn't go to our donors in the top 1% "Sky-High inflation" - aka inflation not yet borne out in the data but we need to scare our base. What "historic foreign policy debacle" did Nan Whaley oversee? ICE CREAM IS SOCIALIST NOW?? WHAT? "Crushing tax hikes" - aka we don't want our top 1% donors paying more
  3. This more belongs in the Columbus Crime thread, but since it's being brought up here...I'm not seeing a lot of evidence, outside of murders, that the violent crime rate is "soaring" in Columbus.
  4. Kerry Coombs should have been fired last year. Saban would have done it.
  5. This thread is over four years old after a "contest" was held, the winner's design will not be constructed (the latest update does look very good), and we're looking at a summer 2025 timeframe of being finished provided there are no further delays. This thread will have been active for at least 8 years from the time the first design was chosen to when this final design is finished (again, if no more delays). Brb heading over to the Millennial Tower thread.
  6. Franklin county is more populous than Cuyahoga county.
  7. Not sure if another thread is more appropriate but...what the hell?
  8. Newark and Dublin will battle it out in the 2020s for largest suburb of Columbus - both are just under 50k residents as of the census.
  9. Village Taco, which started out in Alexandria and moved to the southside on Parsons in February 2020, announced on Instagram that they will be closing permanently in September.
  10. https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/2020-population-and-housing-state-data.html Cincinnati retains top metro area by population of the 3Cs (but they lose it if you exclude KY and IN, I believe): 2,256,884 (30th in the country) Columbus is 32nd with 2,138,926 Cleveland is 34th with 2,088,251
  11. lol think some people are interested in this topic?
  12. $50m/mile for a form of transportation that does not yet exist as proposed. Incredible.
  13. There are often weird price actions after hours - Fridays are when options contracts close and I believe option holders have 90 minutes (or something like that, don't quote me) to exercise those options after market close. So depending on the strike price of those options, the stock price might look a little weird after hours. This might not be the only explanation, but it's a possibility.
  14. It's also the site of a weekly farmer's market every weekend.
  15. I have since looked into this and am strongly considering it now. They are willing to pay me ~$1,750 less than what I paid for it in 2016 (or 90% of what I paid 5 years ago, basically). Hard to pass up. Of course, it's going to be hard to find a replacement vehicle as well. I have three weeks to consider. But thanks for this call out!

    Your take is, "I don't think Simone Biles, who everyone else says is the greatest gymnast ever, is great on her own. I'm going to choose to believe an internet conspiracy theory that she actually got as good as she is because of performance-enhancing drugs." Thanks for posting. Self owns are the best. Are you in danger of being paralyzed or killed if you are off mentally at your job? Very cool comparison. Totally normal. As another possible-GOAT (Caeleb Dressel), said, "Your opinion doesn't matter. Leave her alone." Simple enough. Not sure why you guys are incapable of it - someone wasn't mentally in the right space to perform (and a result, could have been seriously injured if she did) but you have to dig up conspiracies about drugs or label her as a quitter or that the media has an agenda. Just absolutely the highest quality posting. Well done. EDIT - https://slate.com/culture/2021/08/novak-djokovic-jerk-watch-olympics-tennis-racket-smash.html Another GOAT threw a tantrum and quit on his doubles partner - no bandwidth here has been spent on calling him a quitter. See if you can spot the difference.
