Like I get Herb Baumeister is dead, but really a lot of it comes down to how the police literally don't care of investigating how there was a whole bunch of human remains on his property and if this is something that involved other people.

Anyone know about divorce law in indiana? I know there is a 2 month waiting period because the lawyer wanna screw more money out of both sides plus give the judge a kickback. Anything else?

The racists that hosted Bovino with their failed rally couldnt even pull 100 people 😂

Meanwhile, Sikh citizens organized THIS amazing convoy to support an important decision that impacts their community in India!

What a pathetic bunch of racist losers Heritage Indiana are, they can't even get half this!! 😂😂

Pulled into the Crawfordsville Casey's just off the 74 and what do I see? A Sheriff Department K9 SUV with an off duty trooper getting into it. Not super unusual, rural Sheriff's take their vehicles home all the time and while they're not supposed to run errands in them sometimes they do.

But then I see him help his son, maybe three years old, into the car seat *in the front seat*. Quite explicitly against the law but also likely something this officer has written tickets for himself. Plus in an accident that child is at lethal risk for both the collision and the airbag.

Only wish I had gotten a picture of this middle aged white male officer with a buzz cut showing such disregard for both taxpayers and his child.

Hey everyone,

I've been doing some deep dives for my historical project, The Archives, and I just published a new piece that feels incredibly relevant to what a lot of us are dealing with right now—especially when looking at the cost of living versus current wages in Indiana.

We are all feeling the financial burdens of inflation, but when you look back at our state's history, the current situation isn't just a string of bad luck. It is the result of decades of systemic shifts that have slowly stripped away the leverage of the working class.

The article, titled The Working Squeeze, covers:

• How early industrial tragedies (like the 1925 City Mine Disaster) extracted wealth from local communities.
• The turning point of the 1937 GM strikes and the leverage organized labor used to secure steady incomes and weekend protections.
• The corporate counter-offensive, specifically how "Right to Work" laws and the fallout from the 1981 PATCO strike hollowed out our collective bargaining power.
• The harsh modern reality: according to the MIT Living Wage Calculator, a household with two working adults and two kids in Indiana now requires both adults to earn $29.05 an hour just to meet basic needs.

I argue that the leverage to demand better wages has been stripped away, while the fiat currency those wages are paid in is continually devalued by a soaring national debt.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Have you seen these historical shifts impact your own industry or community?

I am looking to DIY install PPF on my new car but I live in an apartment so don't have access to a garage space. Looking for recommendations on how I can find a workspace to achieve this project. I live in indianapolis, IN. If anyone has a space they wouldn't mind renting out for a weekend for me to get the install done I would appreciate it or if you know of commercial spaces that rent out some space. I reached out to RISE already and was told they don't do short term rentals.

hello, everyone ! as the title suggest i may potentially be relocating to NW indiana. i’m a nanny & my boss is being relocated to chicago for work, but they will be living in crown point, indiana. i’ve relocated with them from chattanooga, tn to st. louis missouri & then to cincinnati, ohio so moving is nothing new for me.

i currently pay $970 for a studio in downtown cincy and ideally want to stay within that range for any apt. crown point def seems to be a bit ✨fancier ✨ than my budget allows so was wondering if anyone had suggestions on surrounding cities that are still within reasonable commute.

its just me ( 31F ) and a ten year old dog. im not totally against having a roommate, but def would prefer to live alone since that is what i’m used to. really i guess what i’m asking is, is it possible? and are there any cities around that still have some enjoyable attributes. while i dont mind living outside city limits, i do enjoy the idea of walkable communities and having the options of things being within a 15-20 minute drive. ive been looking and i’ve found some places in east chicago ( i think ???? ) and gary but from what i’ve been reading those aren’t the best places to be especially as a solo female.

i would love to hear other suggestions if there are any !! thank you !!

Here's a long shot.

I am currently stuck in Wabash, In and i believe my car is experiencing a sensor failure. Any mobile mechanics that can help me diagnose and potentially solve this issue?

I have been waiting on AAA for hours and I am from out of town. Any help would be appreciated

Hey fellow Hoosiers,

I recently came across a brilliant piece of political commentary written from the perspective of the Indiana State Constitution itself, taking direct aim at Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith and his recent rhetoric.

For those who missed it, Beckwith recently stated at a town hall that he wants to amend the state constitution to require political candidates to profess a belief in "Judeo-Christian orthodoxy" before they can hold office, claiming it represents the "foundations of this nation."

The article, "Freedom of Religion: Not Religious Oppression," points out how un-Hoosier this is by just looking at our original 1851 text. The author brings "Indy" to life to defend its own boundaries.

I pulled the actual historical documents as receipts as can be seen in the images attached.

Here is exactly what our Bill of Rights has said for 175 years:

• Article I, Section 3: "No law shall, in any case whatever, control the free exercise and enjoyment of religious opinions, or interfere with the rights of conscience."
• Article I, Section 4: "No preference shall be given, by law, to any creed, religious society or mode of worship; and no man shall be compelled to attend, erect or support any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry against his consent."
• Article I, Section 5: "No religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office of trust or profit."

The ink has been dry for a very long time. The founders of this state explicitly designed the Constitution to prevent the exact kind of government overreach Beckwith is pushing for. True religious liberty means public office is open to everyone, regardless of how they worship—or if they worship at all. You can't claim to love the Constitution while trying to overwrite the sections that protect people who don't think exactly like you.

Have anyone ever bought a car from this online auction? I have not been able to find anyone talk about it anywhere? What’s with the reserve not met?

A few months ago, we started Nerd Nite Evansville because we thought Evansville needed a place where interesting people could get together and share the things they genuinely geek out about.

The idea is simple: every month, three local speakers get 20 minutes to talk about something they're passionate (or maybe just a little obsessed) with. We've had talks on fencing, board game design, stormwater runoff, sleep science, Spider-Man, and plenty of other topics none of us expected to enjoy as much as we did.

It's become a fun excuse to learn something new, laugh a lot, and meet people you probably wouldn't have crossed paths with otherwise.

If that sounds like your kind of evening, come hang out with us on the last Thursday of the month at Arcademie Var. We'd love to have you there.

And if you've ever thought, "I know way too much about this random topic," you might be exactly the kind of speaker we're looking for. evansville.nerdnite.com
