I'm a cheap bastard, but I think the Alamo is worth it. It's a nice treat.

Clown? That's accurate. I was thinking of another word that begins with that letter, but maybe that's just me.

Ken Owens, across the street from Bass Pro. Before we got married, my ex-wife had her cars serviced there. She said that she never felt like she was talked down to or taken advantage of because of her gender, and we never had a problem with any of the work his shop did.

I live a couple of blocks west of there. It's not the greatest neighborhood but that's a pretty good value.

Reply to Experiences living in West Central? by sun-w0rshipper
I'll repeat what others have said: It varies.
I've lived off Market north of Grand for 13 years. It has gotten better, but it's definitely nowhere close to "good". Random people walk down the street - in the street, rarely on the sidewalk - poking through trash dumpsters or trying to bum cigarettes. Things have been stolen from my porch, everything from chairs to houseplants... but those stopped once I installed a motion-sensing light.

Reply to Give me a new place to eat! by Jimithyashford
I've got a couple of greasy spoons for you: Taylor's across from the Mosque (it's cash only) and College Street Cafe on College just west of Kansas Expressway. The downside is they've got limited hours. Taylor's is only open 11-2 M-F and the Cafe is only open for breakfast and lunch Mon-Sat.

I'm in that group and am regularly astounded that so many people seem incapable of using Google.

>Elon is a fucking idiot
I don't know anything about electric cars or rockets, so I took for granted that he knew more than me about them.
But I do know something about software, and seeing what he's doing to Twitter makes me want to stay away from his cars and rockets... or anything he's involved in.

Same. I can walk there in ten minutes at a leisurely stroll, and I never had a bad experience there. I'll miss it.

This is why starting a computer is referred to as "booting" the computer. The machine has to pull itself into operation by its own bootstraps.

Reply to comment by tedgurdfjjbv in What does a $50,000/year job look like in the Springfield area? by tedgurdfjjbv
My ex and I had a combined income of ~100k and the bank approved us for 400k. She wanted to look at 300k houses, I wanted to top out at 100k.
I hope that whoever's living in that house now is enjoying all the improvements I made.

Reply to Springfield is up there in the violent crime rankings. Is it safe for an incoming Missouri State student? by viraxil359
As a person that lives downtown west of Campbell, I'd suggest that you try not to live much further west than South Street. You will probably also need some warm clothes; the high tomorrow, for example, will be 14C.
The transit system used to be my only mode of transportation. I think a monthly bus pass for students is less than $25USD. It is okay once you understand that it can take two hours to get across town.
There is a free shuttle system called The Bear Line that has various routes downtown. See https://www.missouristate.edu/Transportation/BearLine/default.htm for more info. Looks like they have a smartphone app for it as well.

Reply to Differential fluid change by AdPowerful7868
If you decide to try this yourself, let me give you one piece of advice. Every diff I've seen has a fill hole and a drain hole. Make sure you can open the fill hole before you open the drain hole.
You do NOT want to find out that you can't open the fill hole AFTER you've drained the diff.
Edit to add: It's an easy job and you can save a lot of money by doing it yourself, but good lord used diff oil stinks like you won't believe.
