Imagine if pop culture portrayals of trains in the U.S. weren't stuck in the 1890s.

I had a roof put on a couple months ago and the shingles came on a remotely operated crane truck. The driver got out and lifted the shingles onto the roof using a similar transmitter to what you'd use to fly an R/C airplane.

Anybody driven on the new roadway that goes right through where Polaris Amphitheater was? It goes right over where the stage was and you can still see pavement from where the parking lot was.

Haha, that's what I associate with Clintonville -- go see your aunt and she takes you out for ice cream when you're a little kid. Happened to me a lot.

It was about 2005 when the European (especially British) parlance became popular in the U.S. Pitch, club, FC, match etc.

I remember making a snide comment about how people eat too much cereal anyway.

I-99 in PA was total pork and still has very low traffic. The only ones piping up about it nationally were roadgeeks and only the budget-conscious ones at that.

It's not like Michigan was ranked 12th or something.

It certainly had become unattractive.

That visit to the food cart was a lot more phallic than I remember as a kid. This was the first time I ever heard about "pot": Man this stuff's starting to seem really old. Sometimes I can't believe I was even alive at all during the '80s -- let alone through the whole thing.

That's how I feel. But many of these releases target sneakerheads. That kind of drama creates the kind of buzz they want. They really want everyone to get their app.

Nike had some big release this week and allegedly reseller bots crashed the site. If you ask me these outages might be performative in order to increase hype for the drops. A tactic they learned from the trading card industry which has had a heavy influence on the sneaker world over the past five years or so.

I helped out with a couple job fairs for the FDIC in 2004 and 2005. They were recruiting for people to go around and close down failed banks. They were like, "People think it doesn't happen anymore but oh yes it does." And this was when only the French had smelled 2008.

For the longest time, there was a fear that automation would mean massive unemployment but now the economy has been proven to be capable of producing an unlimited amount of blue-collar work. Since the workforce is trained to do white collar work since the adults told them to do that instead of blue-collar work when they were kids then didn't have kids themselves. Due to this, the supply of labor for most blue-collar jobs has dried up yet more and more new blue-collar jobs open up every day. Due to that, automation is now not only welcome but needed. In a nutshell, it's like how they are opening up a 3rd Taco Bell in Chillicothe even though the two existing ones there can't even find enough people to stay open regular hours.

Automotive is the largest industry in Kentucky.

So glad to see effort finally be put into this pocket of town. It deserved it. now bring back the E-Z Sleep motel

To paraphrase Roxanne Qualls, "do they think people are going to be riding in the bike lanes with a bunch of stolen VCRs?"

The primary market consumer of automobiles used to include a lot more different types of people. Now it's pretty much just Boomers, Karens and engineers. Everybody else is told to buy a used car.

They're aimed at people who aren't good at the internet.

An enormous amount of people simply default to the way things are rather than actively choose them.

These fools think regulation and oversight only exist because a bunch of communist hippies want to take all their money. It never occurs to them that those things protect the business and its people as well.

South Hamilton Road also had a Coconuts. There a GameStop there now.

I always picture the companies saying "Sure Ohio, send me some literature. We'll look into it." Then the literature arrives in the mail all water stained like a lot of our mail gets by the time it gets in the house. Then the companies are like, "Nope!"

There's a good chance there's ones in West Virginia that are smaller... unless they closed.

Additional useless fact: The only original Rax locations left in business are Lancaster, Ironton, New Carlisle (was not a Rax for a while but is now a Rax again) and Joilet, Illinois.
