Not sure what she was trying to get across but at least she's not pro data center (probably).

Todd Rokita is insane. He attempted to "investigate" the doctor that saved a 10 year old rape victim's life with an abortion, because he just loves rapists so much.

In HNF there's at least one long (>20mi) ass trail. You can camp anywhere not near a campground... Not 100 on HNF but probably also not near water sources. If you want people, North chunk of HNF... If not, south/main chunk. The main/southern chunk has the trails and is much larger. Marengo is worth it as well.

I recommend digging into the maps and info on the parks website... There's a lot there and in the park. With any NF it takes a lot of digging or time on the ground to find it.

And yet my inbox remains devoid of the only thing I've ever asked of you!

Gosh I do enjoy seeing your username. Gets me every time.

I feel bad agreeing with you because I'm sure plenty of great people love Indiana but holy hell Indiana is someplace I hate to be. I had to drive through it recently and the highway immediately turns to shit as soon as you cross into the state. The interior of my RV sounded like rocks in a washing machine. The entirety of the interstate through Indiana is a construction zone which is weird because prior to my most recent trip I rode a motorcycle through Indiana about 10 years ago and I remember constant construction traffic jams. It seems that the interstate is in a perpetual state of construction.

I also had to stop for gas on my motorcycle in Gary which was poor planning on my part. If you ever get the opportunity to visit Gary, Indiana, don't.

1. leave Indiana.

Here's what Clif Marsiglio said on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Indy_Involved/comments/1sju1ub/comment/ofvgk02/

Looks like it's getting to be about that time, eh Indiana?

censorship as its finest, unless its malicious attempt at libel and defemation, or deragatory speechg

Being threatened by what children say or write looks small, weak and pathetic.

Every girl needs somebody to eat their...cat.

.28! Bro...

I wonder if he'll just get reelected?

As an uninformed resident, this is frustrating to learn, or hear confirmed.

I personally am so conditioned to assume all rates and fees are ways to keep padding executive bonuses, keep investors getting paid dividends only taxed at 1% instead of my 22%, and have nothing to do with supporting long term goals.

Maybe regulation is the only way to force investment in infrastructure and cap executive compensation and investor profit.

Maybe the government should run it since there should be no profit involved in utilities providing the basics of modern life, oh wait, they definitely won't screw all that up either, ha

I work on large infrastructure projects and north America has been underfunding maintenance for like 70 years. We don't pay enough for utilities at all and we're so used to it. Especially public utilities that have political pressure to keep rates low.

This article is kind of like my nightmare. If the utility has fees on top of usage rates that cover maintenance and capital improvement, it is so easy for people think it's a cash grab when it's really trying to fill a gaping hole in funding. It's no fun trying to safely operate a chronically under funded public utility 😬

I had not heard about this either. We are on Duke up here. I looked a bunch of years ago and the rate was .11 cents per kwh. That's pretty cheap. Now I'm interested in looking again.

There are many places in the world that present like they are paying extremely high rates.

There's not really competition in utilities, it's supposed to be "regulated".

IIRC Centerpoint is a Texas-based company, and they immediately jacked up prices when they bought up Evansville-based Vectren.

Turns out huge monopolies are checks notes bad for consumers.

This is so fascinating to me. Can anyone provide the background? Why have utility prices gone up so much?

Eta: this article makes it seem like it's not new charges? https://www.14news.com/2025/08/06/centerpoint-officials-explain-newly-formatted-electric-bills/

I agree with your point. The military does this a lot too. Training requirements are important and necessary.

The guy is still a giant hypocrite in some obvious ways, I can't seem to shake my distain.

Sorry to say, but getting outraged over these flights would be like getting outraged by soldiers flying Space Available between bases. Its time and distance those aircraft were going to be flying anyways. The property improvements are likely due to state policy and law which predate his time in office as well.

Attack his policies, sure, but a state governor getting this treatment is, to quote M Bison: "Tuesday". Okay, maybe I did quote a villain on purpose there - I'm not exactly saying everything's going well.

I thought it was skydiving practice.

Southwest Indiana is about as far from a bastion of leftism as you can imagine. The fact that people are unhappy with the Lt. governor there seems pretty telling to me.

Ah, they think all males are boys and all females are girls. Just wait til they hear some folk are neither or both

There had been shouts throughout the evening about Beckwith evading questions. At one point, Beckwith's response to a question on CenterPoint Energy included a nod to the Democratic Party's acceptance of transpeople.

"They think boys can be girls and girls can be boys," he said.

Audience members shouted him down.

"Stay on task," one yelled.

we really need proportional representation
