Is a city truly underrated if both Arlo Guthrie and King Von have mentioned it in songs? I'm not sure those two have anything in common other than shouting out Kankakee.

Those of us in the engineering field: Has anyone gotten word from contractors about their prices for 2027, especially since diesel is $6.00+ (in South Carolina)?

Quote from: formulanone on August 24, 2026, 02:19:21 PMand while you may not like the person in seat 23B that just opened a tin of King Roland sardines at 34000 feet, 

I'd want to know how they got the tin through security.  And I'd be concerned about flying at 34,000 feet, if it was level cruising.

Not sure why security wouldn't let the tin through and cruising at 34,000 feet doesn't seem that unusual for a commercial flight.

34,000 is not a valid flight level for normal commercial flights.  They should only be there if they are ascending to 35,000 or higher, or descending to 30,000 feet or lower.

He's making a forum-related joke that refers to two banned users who had crushes on girls with those names.

Your reply is making me think of the episode of Friends when Joey was trying to track down a hot girl and he put up a flyer that asked the hot girl to contact him.
