    Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?

    Sun-Mart and EconoFoods were both owned by NashFinch and served as a retail outlet for their food warehouses. I believe "Our Family" was their house brand.

    Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?

    I would like to take this opportunity here to hypothesize that if Hy-Vee wasn't paying Caitlin Clark to endorse their chinese food then they wouldn't have to create these food deserts in economically distressed neighborhoods. :jimlad:

    I think what he's trying to say is he only craps his pants once, then gets a new pair.

    Ok ok I admit my shameful secret. I kinda like the Cybertruck

    The Aztec was ass-ugly, but at least all the pieces fit together well. Probably had a better cargo capacity then the Cybertruck.

    Ok ok I admit my shameful secret. I kinda like the Cybertruck

    In the early 90's that would have been an LM002. They were super limited and even less than super limited in the United States. Originally designed when the US Military put out a request for a new combat support vehicle. The HMMWV (Humvee) from AM General won the bid. Lamborghini ended up...

    "Where did you go to medical school?" "1998" Conan is the one who had Norm Macdonald as the filler guest when he needed someone. The man knows comedy.

    We Will beer or pizza in Cedar Rapids?

    Mt. Vernon Rd. Hy-Vee for Ames Lager, last I looked. We should find a way to put together a Cedar Rapids area group buy and someone make the drive to and from Ames or Des Moines and return with a couple coolers full of pizza.

    Harbor Freight

    I still won't buy anything I rely on to keep me alive from Harbor Freight. Jack stands, jacks, etc. But overall they have been improving in quality. 10 years ago if I needed a power tool for a one time job I'd buy two at Harbor Freight. Expected the first one to break and I'd have a spare to...

    O.J. Simpson dead at 76

    They made some mistakes, but I don't think they were incompetent. And even if they were, incompetence is not a crime. Yes, Mark Fuhrman was a big mistake. Yes, letting OJ pretend to try on the glove was a mistake. Easy to see in hindsight. Furhman, maybe should have been seen. But the...

    O.J. Simpson dead at 76

    Prosecution made some big mistakes in the trial. (Hindsight and all). OJ's defense team was the best group of lawyers that could be assembled, plus his good friend Robert Kardashian, so that he could claim attorney-client privilege's and not have to testify about the bag OJ gave him and whatever...

    Stanzi also wore a "Team Edward" bracelet in the bowl game, so I assume he invented something.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Yes, it seems like she's doing a fine job at directing athletics, but it's not like the bar was set really high when she took the position.

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    We learned a lot about how our airports and highways react during one of those events after the big one that struck Raleigh in 1965. Hopefully we'll be better prepares for the next one.

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Tell me what system is failsafe and I'll tell you the situation that will make it fail. The more protections you add the more it will cost. And the less likely the situation will be that causes failure. But somewhere is a balance. Somewhere someone says we'd be better off not spending that money...
