As someone who drives frequently in multiple states missouri traffic is like the least stressful I deal with haha Oklahoma right next door those dumb bastards are always having wrecks and stopped traffic

Then we gonna see how slow I can go.

The city basically ‘imminent domain-ed’ Springfield Skatepark. Tons of volunteer hours went into making it happen and then the city “took over.” I would imagine the skatepark would likely get upgrades IF a tax increase gets passed for parks improvements.

I feel both sides of this argument because it is more efficient to stay in the left lane where there's turn and lanes but if you have a line of cars behind you and there's nobody in front of you in the right lane it's not hard to just get over

You realize I happily do that right? Tailgate harder, flip me the bird. It feeds my dark soul.

on the highway. Anywhere else the left lane is fair.

But also I'd rather be stuck behind someone going a consistent speed or the speed limit than stuck behind someone who can't maintain a steady speed lol

not sure why your down voted but this is correct. and its why we need more nuclear power in the US

yep.

I drive faster than most but if someone is behind me I move over for them but ironically I never have an issue with people moving out of the left lane when I come up behind them.

I've driven all over the country and missouri drivers are more polite than I've seen in texas and a lot of other states lol

But even if I'm doing 20 over I get right back in the right lane when not actively passing anybody lol

I just want to defend them in saying that kids, elementary age, are used to a lot of programming throughout the day. It does get exhausting to compete with that, when you aren't used to providing a new activity every 15 minutes or so. I love being with my kid, but her teacher is brilliant at what she does. Also, we are not in SPS.

That works only as long as both lanes have full driver support of that method. Unfortunately like all things that rely on full cooperation on asshole ruins it and sets in motion more doing it different. And if you think people everywhere know how this works you haven't driven far have you? I've seen people mess that up in every state, from Michigan to Texas and To Florida. I've heard west coast ain't much better.

Oh bro I thought I was showing my age! KC and the sunshine band? Although I totally would have been excited to see them. Elvis was like 1977ish?

This city council makes their decisions in the closed lunch meetings. They don’t give a f*ck about community member input. (e.g. Buc-ees)

haha I didn't go to that concert but I do remember STP playing at the Mosque. My first real concert was KC and the Sunshine Band at Hammons Student Center. My folks saw Elvis play there. Some really good bands played there when it opened, Heart, Doobie Brothers

Have a friend in Florida, and this summer their utility company has to buy electric from duke electric. Had an almost $600 Bill.

I set my heat to 62, and we just bought an electric blanket. Have a smart thermostat (CU had a deal for those, I think), so when no one is home, I turn it down to 60. After a while, 64 seems warm.

You realize that's not how it works right? The law applies only to roads over 60mph.

We are still "paying back" all the extra money they had to spend last year in March when we had an extremely cold weather event. That and gas is just fucking expensive.

They call me Anakin Skywalker because of the way I slay Yuenglings.

Yeah we tend to hover around 250-350 depending on season/weather.

If you can’t stand to be around your kids, imagine how other people feel!!

Def some jack holes over in the FB comments!

For anyone interested in potentially going back to school - if you are 25 or older and have not earned a Bachelors degree, check out Fast Track. It is a grant program (money you don’t have to pay back) in MO for adult students and covers tuition & fees. You can use it at OTC, MSU, or other public college/universities in Missouri. You can find out more info here: https://students.otc.edu/fasttrack/

If money is the thing keeping you from going back to school, it’s a good time to look at options! There may be options out there to help pay for school you aren’t aware of!
