    I'm sure that will be top of their minds when they pick up another night shift at the warehouse.

    18-year-olds all told to go to college and borrow money because good office jobs were on the other side. When they get out all jobs are blue collar yet we blame the kids.

    Some people literally do not want to see men by themselves anywhere.
  4. Because the other Republicans still like the law. Don't worry everything is fixed since one or two guys went down.
  5. I didn't know that the Hilltop had that strong of a brand that people would ascribe areas not that close to it as it. Of course people call the entire Noe-Bixby area Groveport so what do I know.
  6. The parking lot bends like it's outside Pickerington or something.
  7. "I'm going to build a car." Said many people over the past century.
  8. People who get off the bus won't be able to walk to anything except a couple gas stations and a Waffle House.
  9. It's not just design. People buy everything on Amazon. Stores don't open. Then people have to buy everything on the internet or drive outside 270.
  10. I remember there used to be ones about Disney vacations.
  11. Potholes!

    That is funny. That's the kind of stuff sarcastic fans do rather than team owners. Like making a special effort to go down to Florida for spring baseball then wearing a sack on your head in the stands.
  13. ^that's like when people used to try to get us to quote their old video games over the phone. "Well what kind of video game system is it?" "It's black." Okay like 60 percent of systems are black.
  14. Remember when used cars were $200? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
  15. Columbus is actually becoming more blue collar if you ask me. A lot of our white-collar jobs are the kind that are most vulnerable and a large number of our corporate jobs are (or were) in the retail sector. Some of our startups are floundering too, such as Root.
  16. What if someone likes time poverty less that money poverty?
  17. The dealership tried and said it is a common bug. A dealer performed update a couple months ago fixed an emissions issue but didn't do anything about the speed limit display.
  18. My mother's 2021 Accord often displays 2X the speed limit on that dash readout. It even has a little speed limit sign graphic. Funny part is it has a design for a 100mph speed limit even though there is nowhere in the United States where the speed limit is 100. I guess that design is in there for Canada where Speed Limit 100 means 100kph/62mph.
  19. I'm trying to figure out why there is so much more extreme speeding in the past 5-7 years. Every time I'm on an interstate someone zooms by at 100+. It's not just less speed enforcement due to COVID. It was happening before. It's not people in fast cars but rather ordinary cars like 2010 Nissan Altimas and 2003 Chevy Tahoes.

    NIMBYs should be forced to live under a crappy HOA so they can deal with the consequences of persnickity proclivities.

    ^"stop being poor!"
  22. There certainly has been some sort of flip where the rich kids go to the big city school for the better networking while the small-town schools get the bohemians that are not so concerned with getting their foot in the door at a Fortune 500 company. There were always a couple schools per state that specialized in them (Antioch, Oberlin) but now that more small towns are getting activity back in their CBDs that aren't just antique stores, flower shops and funeral homes the colleges can specialize a bit more rather than being "safely schools".
  23. Sometimes I'm really surprised by how much of the vicinity is still farmland.
  24. Wow, for the years that the Grant Bridge was closed you had to drive all the way to either Maysville or Ironton-Russell to get to Kentucky. The Jesse Stuart Bridge wasn't built yet.
