Each state is going to be slightly different. ND - CDL Class B(full bus/coach) or Class C(van chassis), with S Endorsement. MN - CDL Class C with Passenger and School Bus Endorsements.

Almost a year ago. They closed late Nov of last year. Not seeing any news about the takeout-only location attached to Granite City closing and their online ordering system is still up.

Today I learned that the University of Utah actually has a tiny nuclear reactor on campus. Produces a whopping 100kW and, when running full out, is able to raise the temp of the cooling water from 65 to 80 degrees. It's used to teach nuclear engineering students how to understand and safely operate nuclear reactors.

For lack of a better place to put this... If you enjoy aviation, blancolirio should be on your short list of aviation YouTube channels(along with Mentour Pilot and maybe 74 Gear). Juan recently did a video interview with the pilot of a dead stick landing that took place in fog onto a Pacific beach near Watsonville, CA last month. The pilot was a UND aviation grad and had a couple nice things to say about the program and how it helped him in what could have been a really, really, really bad situation.

Sounds like the one they have in mind is already registered and in use by somebody else, but that they might be willing to give it up to UND. The process: Step 1: Determine preferred new call sign. (completed - choice unknown) Step 2: Determine if preferred call sign is currently in use. If yes, proceed to Step 3. If no, proceed to Step 5. (completed - it is already in use) Step 3: Contact holder of preferred call sign to get them to release use to UND. (pending) Step 4: If Step 3 succeeds, proceed to Step 5. If it fails, return to Step 1. Step 5: Apply for FAA approval of new call sign. Step 6: Report new call sign to ICAO. Step 7: Begin use of new call sign.

I don't think I've ever had to enter my ISP login/password at home, but I've done the same as you before and watched a game away from home because I was able to enter my ISP credentials. Very useful if you're watching on the road or over at friends/family and they don't get ESPN3.

ESPN3 confirmed. I went to ESPN's website and found the game on their schedule. To those not super knowledgeable about the difference and expecting to get the game because you're signed up for ESPN+, this doesn't necessarily mean you're not going to be able to watch the game, but it might mean one extra step to be prepared for. ESPN3 is linked to how you get your internet. If your internet service provider(ISP) subscribes to ESPN3, you get it(also if you have Xbox Live). If they don't, you don't. Most of the time, the ESPN video player is able to detect your ISP and unlocks access automatically. However, in some cases, you might have to log in to your ISP account as part of the process. I know I sure don't remember my ISP login and password offhand, so this is something I would test prior to gametime so I wouldn't be panicking at kickoff trying to get access under pressure.

Nah, use the twitter thread he links to instead. (UND fans with a history of high blood pressure and/or anger management issues should avoid it.) https://twitter.com/slmandel/status/1562462995531214849

I think I worded it that way just for you. Was wondering if someone was going to point that out.

You realize I was joking right back, right? lol. You take this stuff too seriously.

Nah. We're busy feeling good because of another indication of our lofty place in the world. We just hired a radio announcer away from a CUSA school after our last announcer was hired by an ACC school. Just another piece of evidence that we're really a top-third G5 program. Bow, puny mortals.

Yeah, it's buried way down the page when it should be front and center. RRV Fairgrounds in West Fargo.

Read what jdub said again. He's not arguing that China is not spying. He's saying the opposite; that China is definitely spying. But this isn't the 80s. China doesn't need a 300 acre corn milling plant in order to spy on drone activity at GFAFB. If they want to spy, they could fit all the equipment they need to do that in a small house. And something like that would make a lot more sense in covert terms than drawing national attention by building a $700 million facility. Stopping the Fufeng plant isn't going to help or hurt China's espionage efforts around GFAFB. If they are interested in drone sigint, they probably already have equipment set up at Cirrus or some generic storage facility or house in town. It's very possible that the equipment might get moved to the corn plant once it's built, but it's not a case of no plant = no spying. There are good reasons and bad reasons for opposing the Fufeng plan. Concern about espionage is way into the bad reason camp. Not because China doesn't spy, but because this would be a really stupid(obvious) way to go about it.

Sometime between December of 2020 and September of 2021. There was a murder at the hotel in December of 2020 when it was still open, and Google street view shows it empty in September 2021. I spent a few minutes searching, but couldn't get more specific than that. The name changed to Budget Inn Express in the early 2000s. Don't know if there were any other names in between that and Westward Ho.

Here's Matt Brown's (from Extra Points) current opinion about what will come out of the Transformation Committee this winter. Note: All this would apply to ALL DI, not just FBS. (Matt talks to a lot of DI athletic directors in the course of his work.) From CSNBBS: https://csnbbs.com/thread-949656.html

He was standing on the grassy median between Demers and 6th Ave somewhere in front of Diamond Lounge about halfway between 16th and 17th Streets. Then he's using a lens that brings everything into focus no matter how close or far away from the camera; that throws your depth perception off. Sic was only a hundred feet or so off in his Google Streets link. The blue road sign in the picture is on the north side of Demers at S 15th, just as you enter the BNSF yard. It's actually right next to the billboard in the picture. The trees in the foreground are directly north of Express AutoGlass & Repair. To make a super specific guess, I would say he was standing between the lightpole and the tree immediately to the east of it. Almost directly south of another billboard on the north side of Demers. 47.916301, -97.050273

Lexus and Volvo, yes. Everything else, hard pass. Especially BMW, Mini, and Land Rover. Just terrible long-term build quality. BMW's are the absolute worst. Great to drive for the first three to five years, then you might as well install a credit card reader in them for the amount of repairs they'll need. There's a reason you can easily pick up a used 3-series dirt cheap.

Just pull up google maps and go to Turtle River State Park. It's the second to last house to the west along highway 2 on the north side of the road.

More than likely a private dirt track owned by the farm next to it. Probably for cars or dirt bikes. Did a quick calculation and it appears to be between 3/4 mile and 1 mile in length. A stranger shape is about two miles west. Looks kind of like the outline of a pair of goggles. Only thing I can think of is an old go-kart track. Looks like it was paved at some point, but it's such a small track, I can't think of what else it could be used for.

There will be three VIP suites with two bedrooms each that will be in the new building on floors 3, 4 & 5. The one-bedroom suites are going to be in the old building(Edgewood Plaza) on the third floor. That floor will contain the fitness room as well as nine hotel rooms(5 king, 1 corner double queen, 2 one-bedroom double-queen suites, 1 one-bedroom king suite). According to the plans on the city's website, the Olive Ann will remodel and take over the 1st, 3rd, & 4th floors of the Edgewood Plaza. Edgewood Plaza will be renovated this way: First floor - hotel lobby, hotel bar, catering kitchen, retail food(like a hotel convenience store maybe?) Second floor - Sky's Fine Dining(unchanged from current setup) Third floor - hotel rooms and hotel fitness space Fourth floor - hotel and tenant office space(maybe only a partial remodel of this floor) Fifth floor - Cloud 9 Event Center(unchanged from current setup) The new building will only have hotel rooms, the hotel laundry, and a room set up as a board room/small conference room.

Sheets and pillow cases can be easily replaced. Walls and plumbing? Not so much. When you're building a boutique hotel(i.e. expensive as !@#$), it's kind of important to get the details right. If I'm spending serious money to stay with three others in a two bedroom VIP suite, I'm not going to appreciate sharing one bathroom in the morning. If I'm staying alone in an expensive one bedroom suite, I'm not going to appreciate waking up and having to cross the entire suite to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night or in the morning. If I'm putting down the cash for the best room in the building, I'm expecting one of the best views, not the worst. I'm not going to appreciate paying that money only to open the room door the first time and find I'm looking at a parking lot or the back side of another building(or no view at all since one of the two bedrooms in the VIP suites don't have any windows at all). If the rooms are simply fancier versions of the same rooms you find at the local Super 8, why not just go there and spend Super 8 money instead? https://www.grandforksgov.com/home/showpublisheddocument/41954/637749313846970000

I just don't understand the philosophy of the room layouts. The best rooms in the building have large banks of windows with views of only the back alley/parking lot. All of the regular suites have sitting rooms with no windows at all, and they're right over either the restaurant kitchen or bar(likely noise issues). The corners would be the best spots for the nicer suites, but they're using all but one of them for single king rooms. And in all the different suites, the bathrooms are near the entrances to the rooms rather than off of the bedrooms. Plus, all the bathrooms are a single room with a single sink; even the only bathrooms in the nicest two-bedroom VIP suites(instead of double sinks and separating parts of the bathroom off so multiple people can use it at the same time). It just doesn't make any sense compared to typical high end hotel room layouts.

Have you looked at the roster of these power brokers?

I'm just guessing, but I suspect the winds aren't as bad as you'd expect at a Top Golf. At first glance, it would be easy to assume that the netting would be negligible as a wind shelter, but I wonder if that's the case. The netting needs to be tight enough to stop a golf ball so I wonder if it might not stop most of the wind. What could happen is that the wind getting hung up at the string could start to swirl, creating vortices. Those vortices would be much larger than the string itself and be what actually stops the wind. And the stronger the wind, the stronger the vortices. But that's just a guess. Could totally be wrong.
