      Lincoln said that if he could save the Union without freeing slaves he would do it.

      FWIW, I wasn't saying the Robert E Lee dish was racist. I just thought it was weird that an Omaha, Nebraska restaurant would only give one dish a name and they named it after Robert E Lee, a confederate douche.

      Yeah, Omaha should have the Otay Burger.

  2. So I found out last night driving in the left lane is actually something you can get a ticket for in Nebraska. A $74 dollar ticket going 74 in a 75.

     

    I haven't been this annoyed at something this inconsequential in a very long time.

      a ticket for doing 74 in a 75 zone?   i always though when they said 75 that was the max allowable speed...not the lowest.   learn something new every day i guess.

      @The Dude I don't doubt that in the least. It's not a pleasant drive and really it's kinda scary. When I'm on it I am constantly looking for the best place to put it in the ditch or bail out. It's stop and go the whole way varying from a crawl to 90 or 95 mph......and those two extremes may be separated by about 1 second. Seriously feel relieved when you get off of it alive.

      Sorry about your ticket but also I wish this was enforced much more frequently and I'm not scared to let people hear my displeasure via car horn when they clog the left lane. It's illegal and it also makes the road less safe.

  3. Alright y'all. If you had a chance to go do a clinical rotation somewhere, which of these would you pursue? OR, AZ, TX, WY, CO.

      Although if you live in Nebraska I'd say Oregon. You can visit Colorado for less $

      Waldo... That's funny. The one in Douglas was a rural hospital. Not sure I"m looking as forward to it because I don't know if I'd live in a town that small myself.

       

      I think I'm leaning towards CO and WY (i.e., Cheyenne).

       

      Luckily, they fit what my future interests are as well. I will probably go into orthopedics.

       

      Thanks for the advice everyone!

  4. Graphic video warning. Everything about this is surreal. I assume she's in shock... he's laying there dying. And a poor little 4 year old girl watched this happen. This is two in 24 hours...

      He was with his family. If he planned to pull the gun, why did he advise the officer that he was carrying? Sorry BRI, but I think the officer acted wrongly in this instance. I know for a fact that there are a lot of good police officers out there. But I also know for a fact that there are some who are not.

    3. BIGREDIOWAN

      BIGREDIOWAN

      Jumping to conclusions before all the facts come out is what's led to these problems in the first place NUance, you should be smarter than that. SMH, everyone can believe what they want. The officer may have been wrong, but the internet lawyers and experts need to get a life.

    4. NUance

      NUance

      True enough. I was just pointing out that it wouldn't make sense for him to inform the officer that he had a gun if he planned to use it. But it would make sense to inform the officer if he had his family in the car and wanted to avoid a panic situation. Hard to say whether the actual truth of what really happened will ever see the light of day. :shrug:

      Unita Detour DIPA (One of my favorite IPA's)

      Nebraska Brewing - Cardinal Pale Ale (I don't like pale ales, but this has a twist I like)

      Boulevard - Tank 7 (Only Saison I like)

      Toppling Goliath - King Sue DIPA (Can't go wrong with most of there stuff)

      4 Noses Brewery in Broomfield is really good. I've liked everything I've tried of theirs.

       

      @deedsker Santa Fe Brewing is very underrated. I don't like coffee-flavored beer, but I really like their IPAs and their seasonals (Farmhouse Ale and Winter something were excellent).

    4. deedsker

      @RedDenver Never had any of their other stuff. I make sure to get some java stout when I visit Colorado. Never been to New Mexico and haven’t found it elsewhere.

      No, because I read the comments here. Two people are only supporting this guy because he's a Republican. Both say they'd vote for him, but neither would - and they'd both be outraged - if this guy was a Democrat.

      I cut my own hair about every 2 weeks. I like it short so I just use the clippers, and I like the convenience of not having to go to a barber. Plus, it saves me $40 a month.

      Most of the font is pretty large, IMO, JJ. If some of it is too long, it will scroll across the screen to allow for bigger font. It does this for headlines. There's also a font size setting. Medium is pretty good for me.

      wiuhusker

      @NM11046 I guess I didn't even think of Buck in the NFL. First thing I thought of with him was the MLB. I've got quite a few friends who are Cubs fans and according to them Buck was a huge homer last year for the Dodgers in the NLCS. I've always enjoyed listening to Buck do MLB games though. 

    4. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      @NM11046 can't stand Buck with Aikman. Maybe it's because I'm an Eagles fan, but they are SUCH homers for the Cowboys (naturally).

      The line about them sweating and working hard is crap. That's a nice sentiment, but the subtext there is: I'm not going to prosecute because they were less fortunate than me (and now play at Bama). I'd like to see what kind of book is thrown at two young black gentlemen in this same situation who DON'T play ball at Bama.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      This is a bit off the subject but, are you guys serious? A cop smelling marijuana does not give him probable cause for a search? IDK either way but that sure does seem counter intuitive. I mean there is a distinct smell that anyone can discern.

    4. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      While the scent of MJ might not be enough to continue a further search, the handgun on one players lap and the stolen handgun under the seat would be enough for any DA to put a similar young man (not a Bama FB player) in jail for a considerable time. Southern justice prevails again.

      Perhaps I'm explaining this poorly.

       

      Now that I've thought about it. I don't believe TO called up Frost and ordered him back to Lincoln.

      But you guys really think it's nuts for him to call and at least put out feelers for Frost's interest in inheriting his old team? As intimately as TO was in bringing Bo back to Lincoln & selecting SE as his own replacement as AD?

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      That was his job at the time. He's a mentor to Frost, and like the players he mentored he will not tell them what to do in life. He will give them advice about what to do though. At least that seems to be his character.

    4. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      I think that's fair. Obviously TO's character is beyond reproach.

       

      I still think I could see him acting as an ambassador of sorts if he truly believes it's best for all parties involved, but perhaps I'm alone in that.
